Impact of Exposure to Hand-Held Vibrating Tools on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures after Open Carpal Tunnel Release : A Retrospective Cohort Study with Matched Controls

Objectives: Vibration exposure is a known risk factor for developing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and insufficient outcomes for surgery for CTS have been reported after such exposure. We aim to investigate whether vibration exposure affects patient-reported outcomes following open carpal tunnel release. Methods: From a population surgically treated for CTS (n = 962), we identified patients who re

The negative footprint illusion is exacerbated by the numerosity of environment-friendly additions : unveiling the underpinning mechanisms

The addition of environmentally friendly items to conventional items sometimes leads people to believe that the carbon footprint of the entire set decreases rather than increases. This negative footprint illusion is supposedly underpinned by an averaging bias: people base environmental impact estimates not on the total impact of items but on their average. Here, we found that the illusion’s magnit

No title

It is becoming increasingly clear that we cannot solve the ecological and social challenges of our century through technological progress alone, but that extensive changes to our social coexistence are required. Consequently, psychology as a science of individual experience, thought and behavior also plays a role in this socio-ecological transformation. In the first two lectures, we will introduce

The Strategic Role of Communication in Management

The concept of strategic communication represents a significant shift from that of corporate communication and, as several scholars have argued (Hallahan et al., 2007; Vercic and Zerfass, 2017), represents a new paradigm useful for interpreting the broadening content of communication and the evolving role it plays in complex organizations. Role which becomes strategic as it increasingly tends to s

Assessment of experience, fears, barriers and adherence to insulin injection among the parents of early-diagnosed children with Diabetes

Background: Regardless of the indisputable benefits of insulin therapy, initiating insulin for newly diagnosed type-1 children with diabetes might be intimidating for parents. This study assesses the experience, fears, barriers and adherence to insulin use among the parents of early-diagnosed children with diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was utilized for data collection from 218

Changed sleep according to weighted blanket adherence in a 16-week sleep intervention among children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Study Objectives: To examine differences in sample characteristics and longitudinal sleep outcomes according to weighted blanket (WB) adherence. Methods: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (n = 94), mean age 9.0 (standard deviation 2.2, range 6-14) participated in a 16-week sleep intervention with WBs. Children were classified as WB adherent (use of WB ≥ 4 nights/wk) or nonadhe

Characterization of rapeseed protein supramolecular structures obtained by aqueous extractions

Aqueous extraction of rapeseed has the potential to produce mildly refined yet functional protein ingredients. However, the colloidal structures of these mildly refined ingredients are still not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this work was to examine the structures present in rapeseed extracts by analyzing their scattering characteristics across different length scales. Rapeseed protein c

Formation and temperature dependence of highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) from δ3-carene ozonolysis

δ3-carene is a prominent monoterpene in the atmosphere, contributing significantly to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. However, knowledge about δ3-carene oxidation pathways, particularly regarding their ability to form highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs), is still limited. In this study, we present HOM measurements during δ3-carene ozonolysis under various conditions in two simula

Symmetry of loop extrusion by dimeric SMC complexes is DNA-tension-dependent

Structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) complexes organize and regulate genomes via DNA loop extrusion. During this process, the complexes increase the loop size by reeling in DNA from one or both sides of the loop. The factors governing this symmetry remain unclear. Here, we combine single-molecule analysis and molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the symmetry of loop extrusion of vari

Introduction : Feminist activism in the post-2010s sinosphere

Feminist Activism in the Post-2010s Sinosphere examines a variety of urgent feminist issues in 21st-century China, including the #MeToo movement, online misogyny, feminism in popular media, and the experiences and rights of queer, trans and ethnic minority groups. The chapters explore shifting dynamics between state feminism, NGO and grassroots movements, the intersection of academia and intellect

Reimagining urban waste management : Addressing social, climate, and resource challenges in modern cities

Governments worldwide are seeking better solutions for solid waste management. Thermal treatment projects are presented as quick fixes for rising waste challenges, without addressing the limitations of incineration. Currently, there is a rise in proposals for thermal treatment technologies in developing countries. Scrutiny of the risks and impacts of these alternatives is necessary due to social,

Low-Dose Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in Swedish Pediatric Patients With Alveolar Clefts Following Alveolar Bone Grafting—A Clinical Study

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether a low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) protocol provides diagnostically acceptable image quality for assessing bone healing after alveolar bone grafting. Material and Methods: The study cohort comprised 11 patients (aged 7–14 years) with orofacial clefts who had undergone alveolar bone grafting at Skåne University Hospital in Ma

Dopaminergic neurons lacking Caspase-3 avoid apoptosis but undergo necrosis after MPTP treatment inducing a Galectin-3-dependent selective microglial phagocytic response

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Apoptosis is thought to play a critical role in the progression of PD, and thus understanding the effects of antiapoptotic strategies is crucial for developing potential therapies. In this study, we developed a unique genetic model to

Two-Thirds Maintain High Adherence to Digital Education and Exercise Therapy with Comparable Outcomes Across Adherence Clusters: A registry study including data from over 14,000 patients in Sweden

OBJECTIVE: To explore trajectories of 12-week adherence to a digital education and exercise therapy for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA), associations with baseline characteristics, and trajectories of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) up to 1-year follow-up.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort (registry) study.METHODS: Weekly data on adherence (i.e. the percentage of completed activities (exerci

The interplay between diet and the gut microbiome : implications for health and disease

Diet has a pivotal role in shaping the composition, function and diversity of the gut microbiome, with various diets having a profound impact on the stability, functionality and diversity of the microbial community within our gut. Understanding the profound impact of varied diets on the microbiome is crucial, as it will enable us not only to make well-informed dietary decisions for better metaboli

Modelling the effect of temperature on phytoplankton growth across the global ocean

Phytoplankton are ectotherms and are thus directly influenced by temperature. They experience temporal variation in temperature which results in a selection pressure. Using the Adaptive Dynamics theory and an optimization method, we study phytoplankton thermal adaptation (more particulary the evolution of the optimal growth temperature) to temperature fluctuations. We use this method at the scale
