Retraction note : CCM3 is a gatekeeper in focal adhesions regulating mechanotransduction and YAP/TAZ signalling (Nature Cell Biology, (2021), 23, 7, (758-770), 10.1038/s41556-021-00702-0)

Retraction to: Nature Cell Biology23:758-770 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41556-021-00702-0 (2021) The authors have retracted this article because it has come to their attention that numerous errors have been identified in the immunoblotting (western blotting) experiments shown in the main Figures 1c, 3a, 4f, 5b and 6b, and the supplementary Figures 1b, 1c, 2d, 3a, 3c, 7f, 8b and 9b. The authors have

Environmental Risk Factors for Parkinson's Disease : A Critical Review and Policy Implications

The age-standardized prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) has increased substantially over the years and is expected to increase further. This emphasizes the need to identify modifiable risk factors of PD, which could form a logical entry point for the prevention of PD. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended reducing exposure to specific environmental factors that have been reported

Optimizing Remote Sensing Data and Light Use Efficiency Model for Accurate Gross Primary Production Estimation in African Rangelands

This paper focuses on the meticulous selection of optimal remote sensing and climate datasets for Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) estimation in African rangelands. Utilizing Eddy Covariance Flux Tower data, we refine data selection and employ a Light Use Efficiency (LUE) model, with Sentinel 2 for photosynthetically active vegetation quantification, MODIS for Photosynthetically Active Radiation (

Remotely Sensed Herbaceous Rangelands Biomass from African Rangelands : Validation and Uncertainties

This research explores herbaceous biomass estimation in African rangelands through remote sensing, emphasizing challenges and uncertainties. Comparing remote sensing data with ground validation, the study addresses spatiotemporal variations, employing advanced models and validation techniques. Harmonizing and calibrating ground data from four African countries, the research provides insights into

The Post-Stroke Checklist : longitudinal use in routine clinical practice during first year after stroke

Background: Few studies describe the use of the Post-Stroke Checklist (PSC) as a tool for longitudinal stroke follow-up in clinical practice. We mapped the prevalence of stroke-related health problems and targeted interventions at 3 and 12 months post-stroke by using the PSC. Methods: Patients with acute stroke discharged home in 2018–2019 at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, were invited to part

A sentinel-2 dataset for Uganda

Earth observation data provide useful information for the monitoring and management of vegetation- and land-related resources. The Framework for Operational Radiometric Correction for Environmental monitoring (FORCE) was used to download, process and composite Sentinel-2 data from 2018–2020 for Uganda. Over 16,500 Sentinel-2 data granules were downloaded and processed from top of the atmosphere re

Quantitative detection of macular microvascular abnormalities identified by optical coherence tomography angiography in different hematological diseases

It is now understood that hematological diseases can have detrimental effects on the retina, reducing retinal capillaries, compromising visual function, and potentially causing irreversible visual impairment. Over the years, there has been limited research on macular microvascular abnormalities, such as changes in vessel density and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and variations in the severity of

Attention-Aided Outdoor Localization in Commercial 5G NR Systems

The integration of high-precision cellular localization and machine learning (ML) is considered a cornerstone technique in future cellular navigation systems, offering unparalleled accuracy and functionality. This study focuses on localization based on uplink channel measurements in a fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) system.

An international, expert-based, Delphi consensus document on controversial issues in the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms

Objective: As a result of conflicting, inadequate or controversial data in the literature, several issues concerning the management of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) remain unanswered. The aim of this international, expert-based Delphi consensus document was to provide some guidance for clinicians on these controversial topics. Methods: A three-round Delphi consensus document was

SMIM1 absence is associated with reduced energy expenditure and excess weight

BACKGROUND: Obesity rates have nearly tripled in the past 50 years, and by 2030 more than 1 billion individuals worldwide are projected to be obese. This creates a significant economic strain due to the associated non-communicable diseases. The root cause is an energy expenditure imbalance, owing to an interplay of lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors. Obesity has a polygenic genetic arch

Spatial variation of ground level ozone and the relation between ozone and NO2/NOx in two Swedish cities

Background Ozone is a pollutant known to cause adverse effects on human health. It is formed by reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons under the influence of sunlight. In urban areas ozone is consumed oxidating nitrogen oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Despite the potential to cause adverse health effects, the local spatial distribution of ozone and the relationship between

Pain prevalence and pain relief in end-of-life care - a national registry study

BACKGROUND: Despite pain control being a top priority in end-of-life care, pain continues to be a troublesome symptom and comprehensive data on pain prevalence and pain relief in patients with different diagnoses are scarce.METHODS: The Swedish Register of Palliative Care (SRPC) was used to retrieve data from 2011 to 2022 about pain during the last week of life. Data were collected regarding occur

Differentiation of clinical characteristics, mortality, healthcare utilization and costs among four subgroups in a population with heart failure

Heart failure (HF) is associated with high mortality, decreased quality of life, and places a heavy burden on healthcare resources. Numerous HF patients are diagnosed without a conclusive echocardiogram and are lacking appropriate pharmacotherapy. The majority of HF studies in Sweden are based on hospital registries that may not represent the entirety of the HF patient population. This thesis exam

Health impact assessment of road traffic noise exposure – A case study of a pre- and post-densification scenario

BACKGROUND AND AIM: In many places worldwide there is an ongoing urbanization, often achieved through densification. An increased number of inhabitants in an area often leads to both increased traffic and placement of new buildings closer to roads, and thus increased population exposure to road traffic noise. The aim of the study was to estimate and compare the health impacts of road traffic noise
