Predicting long-term recurrence of disease in breast cancer (BC) patients remains a significant challenge for patients with early stage disease who are at low to intermediate risk of relapse as determined using current clinical tools. Prognostic assays which utilize bulk transcriptomics ignore the spatial context of the cellular material and are, therefore, of limited value in the development of m

Background: Escherichia coli, the most common bacterium causing urinary tract infections (UTIs), is increasinglyreported as resistant to multiple antibiotics. Swedish surveillance data from hospital and primary health care(PHC) report a 17%–19% prevalence of resistance to ciprofloxacin in E. coli from urine cultures in men over20 years of age. Surveillance data may include nosocomial infections.

In recent years, there has been a wave of opposition to feminism, gender equality, and minority rights in various national and international contexts. While there is a growing number of works that examine anti-gender campaigns, less attention has been devoted to the potential consequences of the anti-gender mobilizations for the internal relations within socially progressive (feminist and LGBTQ+)

α-synuclein is a neuronal protein implicated in neurotransmitter release. Its function is thought to critically depend on the dynamic equilibrium between its free and its membrane-bound state. α-synuclein amyloid formation, implicated in Parkinson's disease, is also modulated by lipid membranes. The interplay between these processes remains elusive yet relates to the outstanding question of what d

OBJECTIVES: Analysis of the long-term risks of ischaemic stroke and cerebral bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation after mitral valve surgery and concomitant Cox-maze IV procedure. METHODS: In total, 397 patients with symptomatic degenerative mitral valve insuffciency and atrial fibrillation, underwent mitral valve surgery and Cox-maze IV in Sweden between 2009 and 2017.
