Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rapidly growing field. Short-term safety and efficacy of these procedures have been studied extensively. However, little is known about the safety of these devices over time. Stroke is one feared long-term complication, and an increased stroke rate could affect guidelines for treating both the aortic stenosis and choosing antithrombotic therapy af

In order to develop new environmental policies, it is important first to evaluate those that have already been used. However, this intuitively simple idea is difficult to apply in practice, no more so than in the complex governance context of the EU. Attributing impacts to specific policies is challenging, and making evaluations useful for political decision making is even more demanding. Five app
Iran’s newly appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Quds Force, Muhammad Reza Fallahzadeh, is not only an experienced military man but also a politician with diplomatic experience. He is a vital asset for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which wants to see its own man elected president in the June elections.
Avian malaria is a common and widespread disease of birds caused by a diverse group of pathogens of the genera Plasmodium. We investigated the transcriptomal profiles of one of the most common species, Plasmodium relictum, lineage SGS1, at multiple timepoints during the blood stages of the infection under experimental settings. The parasite showed well separated overall transcriptome profiles betw
Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, and there is now ample evidence of phenotypic changes in wild organisms in response to this novel environment. Yet, the genetic changes and genomic architecture underlying these adaptations are poorly understood. Here, we genotype 192 great tits (Parus major) from nine European cities, each paired with an adjacent rural site, to address this major knowledge ga
Virtual Reality (VR) experiments are used to study human behavior in fire because they allow simulation of fire events with relatively low risks to the participants, while maintaining high levels of experimental control. Manystudies have used VR experiments to explore aspects of the human response to fire threats, but VR experiments as a research method are yet to be subjected to a systematic proc
Arbetet med affischen har gjorts med stöd av Lunds universitet. Ekologen Anna Persson har skrivit informativa texter och Karin Johnson på Biologiska museet har tagit fram humlearter från insektssamlingarna som sedan har illustrerats av Maj Persson, biolog och illustratör. Bilderna visar honan (drottningen) och hanen (drönaren) av varje skånsk humleart.
Länsstyrelsen Skåne släpper en humlebok, gjord som en fältguide med vackra illustrationer där även amatörer kan lära sig att artbestämma humlor. Kan det vara en jordhumla? Vallhumla? Eller kanske en sydsnylthumla?Humleboken har tryckts upp i 5000 exemplar och kommer från nästa vecka att säljas till självkostnadspris i Länsstyrelsen Skånes naturum i Kullaberg, Söderåsen och Stenshuvud samt troligtv
Universell utformning (härefter UD efter engelskans Universal Design) handlar omdesign som inkluderar alla människor, inklusive personer medfunktionsnedsättningar. UD finns med som en förpliktelse i FN:s konvention omrättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning. Det innebär att UD ingår ipolicyer för många samhällsområden som ett politiskt åtagande för nya produkter och miljöer, men också pro
Electromagnetic fields exist all around us. Through evolution, nature has developed tools to interact and use these fields, where our eyes are a spectacular example. Humans have a long history of developing structures and objects of their own to alter and interact with these fields. Today they are important cornerstones in society, with radiating devices such as cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, or car
Quantifying and comparing light environments are crucial for interior lighting, architecture and visual ergonomics. Yet, current methods only catch a small subset of the parameters that constitute a light environment, and rarely account for the light that reaches the eye. Here, we describe a new method, the environmental light field (ELF) method, which quantifies all essential features that charac
