Metabolic perturbations and ectopic fat deposition in men with low birth weight : Effects of a 4-week carbohydrate overfeeding challenge

Low birth weight (LBW) is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesized that 4 weeks of carbohydrate overfeeding (COF) with +25% energy would unmask key T2D perturbations among 22 nonobese LBW men, including five with screen-detected metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), compared with 21 healthy control participants with normal birth weight (NBW). Body weight

LymphSens study : The enigma of subjective lymphoedema-how often and why do patients report lymphoedema after breast cancer treatment without an objective measurable swelling? the role of lymphatic and sensory processing problems: A protocol for a multicentre prospective longitudinal study

Introduction Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) at the arm and/or trunk/breast is a highly feared complication following breast cancer treatment and can be objectified using the state-of-The-Art criteria based on volume, extracellular water ratio or skin thickness measurements. Although the incidence of objective BCRL is decreasing due to advances in breast cancer treatment, many patients re

Human cortical neurons rapidly generated by embryonic stem cell programming integrate into the stroke-injured rat cortex

Stem cell sources capable of producing appropriate cells for replacement will be necessary for functional repair of the injured brain. Here, we have determined whether transcription factor programming of human embryonic stem (hES) cells can be used to generate layer-specific cortical neurons capable of integrating into the stroke-injured rat cortex. Human embryonic stem cells were programmed via o

Adolescents’ experiences of psychological treatment for gaming disorder : a qualitative study

Background: Gaming disorder is a recently recognized psychiatric condition and a growing public health concern, particularly among adolescents. Despite this, there is limited research on what kind of treatment they need. Existing studies are mostly quantitative and offer limited insight into adolescents' lived experiences.Aim: The aim of this qualitative study is to explore how adolescent patientsBackground: Gaming disorder is a recently recognized psychiatric condition and a growing public health concern, particularly among adolescents.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging as a precision diagnostic at prostate cancer recurrence after radical prostatectomy : Modeling long-term survival

Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) is affecting the management of patients with prostate cancer with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. The long-term outcomes of tailoring salvage treatment on the basis of PSMA-PET/CT status remain to be determined. Methods: A decision-analytic model was developed to projec

Performance Evaluation of a Custom-Designed Contrast Media Injector in a 5-Tesla MRI Environment

The compatibility and safety of contrast media injectors (CMIs) at ultra-high magnetic field strengths remains a critical challenge. This study aimed to investigate a custom-designed CMI powered by a ceramic motor in a newly developed 5T MRI environment, comparing it with a commercial CMI commonly used in a clinic. Three key performance aspects of the CMI were assessed in the 5T environment: trans

White paper and roadmap for quantum gravity phenomenology in the multi-messenger era

The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity has long been elusive. Only recently have empirical predictions of various possible theories of quantum gravity been put to test, where a clear signal of quantum properties of gravity is still missing. The dawn of multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics has been tremendously beneficial, as it allows us to study particles with much higher

PROX1 is an early driver of lineage plasticity in prostate cancer

Lineage plasticity is recognized as a critical determinant of lethality and resistance to AR pathway inhibitors in prostate cancer. Lineage plasticity is a continuum, ranging from AR activity-low tumors, AR-null tumors that do not express a neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) program (i.e., double-negative prostate cancer [DNPC]), and AR-null NEPC tumors. Factors upregulated early in lineage pla

Disentangling Centrality Bias and Final-State Effects in the Production of High- pT Neutral Pions Using Direct Photon in d+Au Collisions at sNN =200 GeV

PHENIX presents a simultaneous measurement of the production of direct γ and π0 in d+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV over a pT range of 7.5 to 18 GeV/c for different event samples selected by event activity, i.e., charged-particle multiplicity detected at forward rapidity. Direct-photon yields are used to empirically estimate the contribution of hard-scattering processes in the different event sample

Alcohol consumption, genetic susceptibility, and risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults and type 2 diabetes : Findings from two population-based studies

Background & aims: Alcohol consumption has been inversely associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its influence on autoimmune diabetes is unclear. We investigated the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and T2D in relation to alcohol intake and assessed if potential associations were modified by genetic susceptibility to diabetes. Methods: We used data from a case–control st

Upper-Limb Complications in Diabetes : A Narrative Review

Upper-limb complications (ULCs) in diabetes, affecting joints, tendons, muscles, con-nective tissue, nerves, and skin, are underrecognized but prevalent conditions in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Advances in diabetes care have extended life expectancy, leading to an aging population with diabetes with increased susceptibility to long-term complications beyond traditional vascular issues. Despite so

Synthesis & Characterization of Au-promoted NiMo/Al2O3 Catalysts

För att samhällets gröna omställning ska fortgå behövs det fortfarande ett bra alternativ till råolja. Ett hållbart alternativ som undersöks är bioolja. Bioolja framställs till skillnad från råolja med biomassa som råmaterial. För att bränsle med bra kvalitet ska tillverkas av detta så måste biomassan uppgraderas i flera steg i bioraffinaderier. Ett av dessa steg innehåller en katalytisk hydrodeoxThe phasing out of fossil fuels continues to be of great importance if our society is to complete the green transition. One of the most interesting alternatives to fossil fuels is bio-fuels but these have not been shown to outperform fossil fuels in all areas, as of yet. This is especially true in applications that require high performance and have high safety standars, such as the aviation indust

Rotational bands in 249Md

Rotational structures in 249Md have been observed for the first time. One set of states forms a pair of strongly coupled bands with relatively strong E2 transitions and no identifiable M1 transitions between the two signature partners. Another set of states suggests a decoupled sequence of E2 transitions. These bands are assigned as based on the 7/2−⁢[514] and on the favored signature of the 1/2−⁢

Utbildning i klimat och hälsa tar form på läkar­utbildningarna

The medical profession plays a crucial role in tackling the health impacts of climate change and in promoting a green transition of society and the health sector. Despite this, opportunities for action are still quite unknown within the profession, and no mandatory education is required in interns' or residents' education. Medical schools, on the contrary, both in Sweden (due to legislation) and a

The CSF p-tau/β-amyloid 42 ratio correlates with brain structure and fibrillary β-amyloid deposition in cognitively unimpaired individuals at the earliest stages of pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease

CSF concentrations of β-amyloid 42 (Aβ42) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) are well-established biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and have been studied in relation to several neuropathological features both in patients and in cognitively unimpaired individuals. The CSF p-tau/Aβ42 ratio, a biomarker combining information from both pathophysiological processes, has emerged as a promising tool for moni

Validating laboratory predictions of soil rewetting respiration pulses using field data

Improved understanding of the mechanisms driving heterotrophic CO2 emissions after rewetting of a dry soil may improve projections of future soil carbon fate. While drying and rewetting (DRW) under laboratory conditions have demonstrated that heterotrophic CO2 emissions depend on DRW features and soil and environmental conditions, these laboratory insights have not been validated in field conditio

Three-dimensional cell-cell interactions promote direct reprogramming of patient fibroblasts into functional and transplantable neurons

Direct reprogramming of somatic cells into induced neurons (iNs) has become an attractive strategy for the generation of patient-specific neurons for disease modeling and regenerative neuroscience. To this end, adult human dermal fibroblasts (hDFs) present one of the most relevant cell sources. However, iNs generated from adult hDFs using two-dimensional cultures are difficult to maintain in vitro
