Cervical cancer among Swedish women with drug use disorders : A nationwide epidemiological study

Background/Aim: Cervical cancer incidence and mortality has decreased after introduction of national screening in Sweden, but women with drug use disorders (DUD) are less likely to participate in screening programs. We aimed to investigate cervical cancer incidence and mortality among women with DUD compared to the general female population in Sweden. Methods: We conducted a cohort study based on

Introduction to 2018 special issue: Ontological (in)security in the European Union

The European Union (EU) faces many crises and risks to its security and existence. While few of them threaten the lives of EU citizens, they all create a sense of anxiety and insecurity about the future for many ordinary Europeans. Amongst these crises are the more obvious challenges of sovereign debt and fiscal austerity; refugees from conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria; and the rise of po

A LC–MS/MS method for the quantification of caffeine, betamethasone, clonidine and furosemide in cerebrospinal fluid of preterm infants

Background: Newborns, admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), are exposed to a large number of medications, the majority of which are not labeled for use in infants, especially in preterm newborns, because clinical trials on their benefits and harms are lacking. There is a huge gap in knowledge on pharmacokinetic (PK) data in sick preterm infants, including that of drug penetration to

A patterning-free approach for growth of free-standing graphene nanoribbons using step-bunched facets of off-oriented 4H-SiC(0 0 0 1) epilayers

The tunable electronic structure of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) has attracted much attention due to the great potential in nanoscale electronic applications. Most methods to produce GNRs rely on the lithographic process, which suffers from the process-induced disorder in the graphene and scalability issues. Here, we demonstrate a novel approach to directly grow free-standing GNRs on step-bunched f

Interleukin-1 beta neutralization attenuates traumatic brain injury-induced microglia activation and neuronal changes in the globus pallidus

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) increases the risk of delayed neurodegenerative processes, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), a key pro-inflammatory cytokine, may promote secondary injury development after TBI. Conversely, neutralizing IL-1β was found to improve functional recovery following experimental TBI. However, the mechanisms underlying the behavioral improvements o

Dynamic effects of institutions on firm-level exports

The gap between theoretically predicted trade patterns and actual trade suggests that our understanding of what shapes trade patterns is incomplete. Institutional barriers may be one factor behind this gap, and recent research suggests that institutions are a greater obstacle to trade than tariffs. Using detailed firm-level data, we analyze how institutional quality in recipient countries affects

Room temperature multiferroic PZTFT thin films

Multiferroic materials have shown significant potential for next generation nanoelectronic and multifunctional devices due to their coexistent order parameters and versatile tunabilities. Nevertheless, the selectivity of the room temperature multiferroics is extremely limited. In this manner, single-phase solid-solution-type multiferroics that are composed by distinct oxides exhibiting either ferr

Family patterns of arterial stiffness across three generations in the Malmö Offspring Study

Background:Central haemodynamics have in recent years emerged as a promising predictor of cardiovascular health and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Central haemodynamics are affected early in the development of vascular aging and contributes to target organ damage. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-f PWV), augmentation index (Aix) and central SBP (cSBP) are variables that reflect arteri

Ge quantum wire memristor

Despite being known of for decades, the actual realization of memory devices based on the memristive effect is progressing slowly, due to processing requirements and the need for exotic materials which are not compatible with today's complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Here, we report an experimental study on a Ge quantum wire device featuring distinct signatures of memristi
