BackgroundWomen are at a greater risk of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention than men. A history of preterm delivery is a female-specific risk factor for coronary artery disease, but its relevance in the treatment of coronary artery disease is unknown.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to analyze the association between a history of preterm del

Although many of the chapters focus on individual senses, most of them end up demonstrating that no sense works in isolation and that sensation is always social and quite often emotional as well.

Swedish mining is often envisioned as virtuous, as coinciding harmoniously with quests for sustainability and the cultural survival of indigenous Sami peoples. This chapter posits that Sweden’s sense of exceptionalism in mining is embedded in a colonial/extractive system of knowledge that fails to mention non-capitalist, anticolonial relationalities to nature and ways of life. The normalised statu

Reversible crosslinking offers an attractive strategy to modify and improve the properties of polymer materials while concurrently enabling a pathway for chemical recycling. This can, for example, be achieved by incorporating a ketone functionality into the polymer structure to enable post-polymerization crosslinking with dihydrazides. The resulting covalent adaptable network contains acylhydrazon

Den pedagogiska forskningens relevans för vem eller vad är en mycket angelägen fråga inom en arena som ännu inte berörts i denna debatt: Högre utbildning. Jag kommer därför inledningsvis att belysa högskolepedagogikens formering som vetenskap och hur denna utveckling numera löper oberoende av pedagogikdisciplinen med vissa oönskade konsekvenser. Med forskarutbildningen som exempel argumenterar jag

Introduction: Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography studies have identified that one in three to five patients with cancer-related lower extremity lymphoedema (LEL) demonstrated dermal backflow extending to the gluteal region. This study aimed to further characterize gluteal lymphoedema using contemporaneous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients and methods: Twenty-eight patients with unilater

Background: The technical skills of a surgeon influence surgical outcome. Testing technical aptitude at point of recruitment of surgical residents is only conducted in a few countries. This study investigated the impact of visuospatial ability (VSA), background factors, and manual dexterity on performance in two different laparoscopic surgical simulators amongst applicants and 1st year surgical re

Nanocomposite materials which are considered ‘green’ refer to non-toxic, biodegradable and renewable nanocomposites. The reasons of preferring green nanocomposites much more could be explained by environmental friendly, fully degradability, renewability and sustainability in all respects. Furthermore, the production of green nanocomposites should not be based on toxic chemicals. When their functio
