Correction : Absolute and relative GFR and contrast medium dose/GFR ratio: cornerstones when predicting the risk of acute kidney injury (European Radiology, (2023), 10.1007/s00330-023-09962-w)

The original version of this article, published on 4 August 2023, unfortunately contained some mistakes. First of all, Fig. 2B has been replaced by an updated version. Additionally, the ratio in the following phrase “it results in a relatively high ratio (1.11) and thus a greater CI-AKI risk” in the caption of Table 2 has been corrected to (1.00). Finally, the following information has been added

Report on 4 cases with decreased recovery due to neutralizing antibodies specific for PEGylated recombinant factor VIII

Background: The immunogenicity, safety, and efficacy of recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) have gained increasing interest after the introduction of extended half-life products with various modifications of the rFVIII molecule, such as covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Anti-PEG antibodies may be associated with a temporary reduction of FVIII recovery, but according to previous studie

High-Pressure Pasteurization of Oat Okara

The issue of the short microbiological shelf life of residues from the plant-based beverage industry creates a large food waste problem. Today, the oat beverage residue, in this study referred to as oat okara, is generally converted to energy or used as animal feed. High-pressure pasteurization (200 MPa, 400 MPa, and 600 MPa) was applied to oat okara to investigate the effect on shelf life and mic

Visual acuity in patients with non-functioning pituitary adenoma : Prognostic factors and long-term outcome after surgery

Background: Visual acuity (VA) and visual field defects (VF) are evaluated in the preoperative management of non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA). The former is less studied than the latter. Research question: To analyze preoperative factors, including adenoma volumetry, associated with reduced VA and postoperative improvement of VA over five years after surgery. Methods: Eighty-seven patients

Keltainen huone (Yellow Room), for choir : #80 (2008)

#80. Keltainen huone (Yellow Room), for choir (2008)Keltainen huone (Yellow Room) was written during a residency at the Nelimarkka Museum in Alajärvi, Finland in 2008.This piece focuses on the sense of pitch movement of unvoiced sounds that are achieved by highlighting the dominant formant frequencies of the vocal tract. However, through the use of radical manipulations of the upper vocal tract, t

Improving EEG-based decoding of the locus of auditory attention through domain adaptation

This paper presents a novel domain adaptation framework to enhance the accuracy of EEG-based auditory attention classification, specifically for classifying the direction (left or right) of attended speech. The framework aims to improve the performances for subjects with initially low classification accuracy, overcoming challenges posed by instrumental and human factors. Limited dataset size, vari

Empowering Children and Youth through Law and Participation

Empowering Children and Youththrough Law and ParticipationIn 2023, between August the 30th and September the 1st, the Child RightsInstitute at the Department of Sociology of Law, within Faculty of SocialSciences, Lund University, was arranging a three-day research conference onthe theme Empowering Children and Youth through Law and Participation.41 participants from 13 different countries particip

Solar, Atmospheric, and Volcanic Impacts on 10Be Depositions in Greenland and Antarctica During the Last 100 Years

Cosmogenic radionuclides (e.g., 10Be) from ice cores are a powerful tool for solar reconstructions back in time. However, superimposed on the solar signal, other factors like weather/climate and volcanic influences on 10Be can complicate the interpretation of 10Be data. A comprehensive study of 10Be records over the recent period, when atmospheric 10Be production and meteorological conditions are

A new method to assess vehicle airborne non-exhaust particles : Principle, application and emission evaluation

A method that could assess the whole vehicle non-exhaust particle (NEP) emission from the whole vehicle level was proposed by combining sealed housing with the chassis dynamometer. The intake and exhaust systems were connected to the out of the chamber to avoid possible effects on NEP emissions. The most distinguishing feature of the proposed method is the whole vehicle assessment of the NEP. Base

Sensitivity of simulated knee joint mechanics to selected human and bovine fibril-reinforced poroelastic material properties

Fibril-reinforced poroviscoelastic material models are considered state-of-the-art in modeling articular cartilage biomechanics. Yet, cartilage material parameters are often based on bovine tissue properties in computational knee joint models, although bovine properties are distinctly different from those of humans. Thus, we aimed to investigate how cartilage mechanical responses are affected in t

Obstructive sleep apnea severity and prevalent atrial fibrillation in a sleep clinic cohort with versus without excessive daytime sleepiness

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) in cardiac cohorts. Less is known regarding the magnitude of this association in a sleep clinic cohort with vs. without excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Objectives: To explore the association of OSA severity with AF in a sleep clinic cohort stratified by EDS. Patients and methods: All consecutive adults (n = 3

Ideal Outcome After Pancreatoduodenectomy : A Transatlantic Evaluation of a Harmonized Composite Outcome Measure

Objective: The aim of this study is to define and assess Ideal Outcome in the national or multicenter registries of North America, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Background: Assessing outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy among centers and countries requires a broad evaluation that cannot be captured by a single parameter. Previously, 2 composite outcome measures (textbook outcome and optima

Violence and victim souls : Exploring the connection of gender-based violence, beatification, and Christian theology of suffering

Commencing from the question “what makes mysticism feminine?” (a medical-historical conception of female bodies being receptive to some forms of mystical experiences? following an idea of gendered embodiment, a specific feminine spiritual corporeality?), the presence of forms of violence preceding the beatification or sanctification of women as victim souls caught my attention.Examples like Laura

”Maybe one day, the spark will ignite:” A Cultural Analysis of the Historical and Contemporary Living Conditions of Roma People in Sweden

For over five hundred years, the Roma people have been a part of Swedish society. During these five centuries their subsistence has been subjected to oppression, both institutional and civil. Despite the endeavours to improve the lives of the Roma, and governmental attempts to combat stereotypes, the discursive antiziganism is still prevailing in Sweden today. The guiding question throughout the
