Background: Drug-related problems are common in older individuals. A medication reconciliation has the goal of identifying and maintaining an accurate medication list and can serve to prevent drug-related problems caused by discrepancies. Objectives: This study aimed to explore primary care physicians’ intentions towards performing medication reconciliation in patients with multimorbidity using a

Over the last two decades, the social identity of the jihadist has become a central part of street culture. Depictions of jihadists can be found in popular music, movies and media reports. Propaganda celebrating or condemning jihadism circulates online, and a significant number of individuals with a background in street crime have flirted with or converted to jihadism. Drawing on ethnographic fiel

Bakgrund: Barn utsätts dagligen för smärtsamma procedurer inom barnsjukvården och obehandlad smärta kan leda till ökad smärtkänslighet i framtiden. Studier poängterar vikten av att nyttja evidensbaserade riktlinjer gällande multimodal smärtbehandling för att förebygga procedursmärta. Begränsat antal studier finns i Sverige om sjuksköterskans upplevelse av att arbeta utifrån riktlinjer vid smärtsam

Bakgrund: Andelen barn som ammas i Sverige minskar. För att gynna amning och de positiva hälsoeffekter både barn och moder erhåller genom amning är stöd från partnern centralt. Genom att öka kunskapen hos hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal kan stöd till modern anpassas. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa vilket stöd mödrar önskar få av sin partner under amningsperioden. Metod: En kvalitativ studiedesign med

PurposeThe benefit of adding concurrent systemic therapy to definitive radiation therapy (RT) for patients with T1-2 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and limited neck node involvement is uncertain. This study investigates whether chemotherapy (CRT) in patients with early-stage (T1-2) low-volume nodal disease (Union for International Cancer Control Seventh Edition N1-2b) improves overa

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Virtual reality (VR) is a rapidly evolving technology that is currently utilized in hospital settings for various types of surgical procedures. The extent to which VR is evident in improving patient outcomes is unknown. This systematic review assesses the impact of VR on adult patients undergoing elective surgical procedures.DATABASES AND DATA TREATMENT: The following dat

Background/Objectives: Electroencephalography (EEG) is increasingly used in pediatric anesthesia to detect abnormal brain activity such as burst suppression (BS), a marker of profound cortical inactivation. The objective of this study was to assess anesthetic depth using bilateral spectral edge frequency (SEF) and to determine the incidence of frontal cortical BS in young children undergoing cardi

BACKGROUND: Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a rare cardiac disorder that predispose to supraventricular arrhythmias. Prognosis is usually benign, yet there is an increased lifetime risk of sudden death. While typically sporadic, familial clustering has been reported. This study aimed to assess the risk of WPW, arrhythmias, and mortality among siblings of individuals with WPW.METHODS: This

OBJECTIVES: Ultra-high dose rate irradiation (UHDR) has been shown to spare normal tissue in various model systems. This study evaluates its potential to sterilize cancer cells using spheroid tumor models.METHODS: Spheroids from glioblastoma (U87), hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (two sizes, FaDusmall and FaDularge) and breast adenocarcinoma (T47D) cells were irradiated with electron beams

Small independent (indie) game startups face fierce competition when developing games with limited time, budget, and resources. Continuously testing and experimenting with new ideas, features, and content is essential to validate and guide development toward a viable and successful game. Such continuous experimentation (CE) requires access to users and user data, which is often very limited in the

We explore vibe coding as a rapid prototyping approach powered by generative AI. We discuss how it lowers the barrier to creating high-fidelity prototypes, enabling nontechnical users to build apps, and examine its implications for communication, validation, and iterative software design.

The onset of jet quenching, i.e. the suppression of high transverse momentum particles and jets, is an important question in the context of understanding the onset of collective behaviour and small collision systems. We investigate a minimal scenario where a hard parton experiences a single soft re-scattering that leaves the kinematics unmodified, but the colour exchange leads to a loss of colour

The rise of livestreaming as a promotional tool has increasingly attracted scholars to focus on the impact of livestreaming on tourism destination marketing and tourists' psychology, including perception. This study examines the effect of informativeness and interactivity on tourist flow, inspiration, and travel intention in travel livestreaming. Through 344 valid survey-based data, this study emp

Investigating respiratory fluxes is decisive for understanding the complex interplay between metabolic processes. Studies of cells and tissues with limited sample availability and low respiratory rates may benefit from small experimental volumes. We examined if the 0.5-mL chamber yields results consistent with the 2.0-mL chamber at identical sample concentrations used in high-resolution respiromet

SUMMARY: Craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are rare brain epithelial tumours arising in the suprasellar region, infiltrating adjacent areas causing visual loss, panhypopituitarism, cognitive deficits and morbid obesity. Papillary CPs (PCPs) harbour in 94% BRAF mutation cases. Two patients with PCP and BRAF V600E mutations but with different tumour status were treated with BRAF and MEK inhibitors. Case I wa

Protein deletions are frequent among both natural and pathogenic variations. Many of them are misclassified in variation databases and the literature. Nonsense-mediated decay prevents the expression of many nucleotide deletions. Many variants classified as protein deletions are not expressed at all. We conducted an exhaustive systematic analysis of three types of deletions: N- and C-terminal delet

Background: Although optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become essential in pediatric ophthalmology, normative data for children are lacking in most device databases. Due to ongoing ocular growth and developmental changes that occur during childhood and adolescence, adult reference values are not appropriate for pediatric use. Additionally, OCT measurements vary across devices, indicating the
