Treatment and follow-up of vascular graft and endograft infection : Delphi consensus document

Scope: Vascular graft or endograft infection (VGEI) is a severe complication requiring a multidisciplinary approach combining surgery and antimicrobial therapy. This study aimed to develop expert consensus on the management and follow-up of VGEI, with a focus on antimicrobial strategies. Methods: A modified Delphi method was conducted to reach consensus on key aspects of VGEI care, including antim

Local Strain Tuning in Cu Nanoparticles through Glucose-Mediated Synthesis

Cu nanoparticles are widely used in different fields. Controlling the Cu oxidation state and the local strain is fundamental for optimizing its efficiency in processes, such as catalytic reactions. In this work, Cu nanoparticles were synthesized by using glucose as a reducing agent. Different synthesis conditions led to nanoparticles with a tunable local strain and Cu(0)/Cu 2O ratio. The amounts o

Goniometric Investigation of Spectral Scattering from Insect Wings in Near Infrared

Insect wing interference is highly sensitive to the membrane thickness and has shown remarkable potential to differentiate insect species, both ex vivo in laboratory settings and for free-flying insects in situ. While several studies have reported diversity of wing interference patterns, no study has linked this resonant coherent scattering from membranes to the goniometric scattering phase functi

Always Gender but Not Only Gender: Operationalizing Intersectionality in Swedish Gender Equality Policy

Intersectionality is increasingly being operationalized as part of gender mainstreaming efforts across national and multilateral contexts. One prominent example can be located in Sweden’s 2015 institutional commitment to centering future gender equality policy in an intersectional analysis. This article explores the complexities of institutionalizing intersectionality in Swedish gender equality po

Affordances of Multidisciplinary Team Meetings as Team-Learning Activity : A Constraints-Led Approach for Continuous Health Profession Education

The complexity of modern healthcare continues to evolve, emphasizing the need for comprehensive collaboration among professionals from diverse backgrounds, patients, and their families to integrate care. Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs) have emerged as an opportunity to advance interprofessional collaborative practice. However, despite their growing prevalence in clinical and educational co

Lunds universitet måste bryta med Israels krigsindustri

FN:s oberoende kommission har slagit fast att ett folkmord pågår i Gaza. Trots det vägrar Lunds universitetsledning att ompröva sina samarbeten med israeliska universitet och företag med kopplingar till vapenindustrin.Lunds universitet måste nu ta ansvar och avbryta dessa samarbeten – eller erkänna att man väljer att blunda för brott mot mänskligheten. Det skriver 16 forskare från Lunds universite

Global metabolomics profiling of glucuronides in human plasma, fecal, and cerebrospinal fluid samples

Glucuronidation is the major phase II biotransformation reaction that facilitates the clearance of exogenous compounds from the human body. Glucuronidated metabolites have been investigated in urine samples at a broad scale; however, their characterization in other human biospecimens is underexplored. Our study has now performed a comprehensive profiling of glucuronides in plasma, fecal, and cereb

Peritoneal recurrence following nephrectomy for localized renal cancer : A multicenter European real-world analysis of incidence, pattern and treatment (PEMET study–UroCCR 124)

Background: Peritoneal recurrence (PREC) following nephrectomy for localized renal cancer (RCC) is rare. Our objective was to report a multicenter analysis of PREC to analyze incidence, treatment, survival and risk factors. Methods: Between 1987 and 2023, patients with PREC following radical or partial nephrectomy (PN) for localized RCC across ten European institutions (UroCCR, NKI, IRCCS, Foch an

3D Topological Insulator-Based Eutectic Heterostructures : Fabrication and Potential Applications

We report the fabrication of three-dimensional topological insulator heterostructures using a single-step bottom-up approach based on directional solidification. These materials exhibit atomically smooth interfaces, preserving topological surface states and enabling hetero-junction formation. This scalable approach paves the way for advancements in spintronics, quantum computing, and novel optoele

A robust Bayesian model to quantify and adjust for study quality and conflict of interest in meta-analyses

Meta-analyses are vital for synthesizing evidence in medical research, but conflicts of interest can introduce research bias, undermining the reliability of the synthesized findings. This paper proposes a new robust Bayesian meta-analysis model. The model inflates uncertainty of low-quality studies and incorporates a bias term for studies subject to conflicts of interest. Using a random-effects mo

Är vulkanismen på Kanarieöarna till följd av en hetfläck?

The Canary Islands are an island chain created by volcanic activity, despite extensive studies of the region there is not a clear consensus of their process of creation, primarily there is a question concerning the origin of the magmas which has built up this chain of islands. The largest contributor to these uncertainties is the continued volcanic activity on older islands, something which does n

An in-depth analysis of coronary computed tomography angiography segmental findings in acute spontaneous coronary artery dissection – a prospective multicenter study

Aims: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), causing acute coronary syndrome (ACS), primarily in middle-aged women, is diagnosed with invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Due to the risk of dissection propagation with ICA, a non-invasive diagnostic tool is needed. We investigated coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) findings in acute SCAD, as well as the inter-modality agreement

Resolving the crisis in L2 motivational self-system research : Constructive dialogue and argument-based validation

Al-Hoorie, Hiver, and In'nami (2024) offer compelling arguments for why L2 motivational self-system research is currently in a state of validation crisis. Seeking a constructive resolution to the crisis, in this response we argue that two fundamental conditions are needed for the field to emerge stronger: psychological readiness and methodological maturity. For psychological readiness, we call for

Reconstructing Three-Dimensional Models of Interacting Humans

Understanding 3D human interactions is fundamental for fine-grained scene analysis and behavioural modeling. However, most of the existing models predict incorrect, lifeless 3D estimates, that miss the subtle human contact aspects–the essence of the event–and are of little use for detailed behavioral understanding. This paper addresses such issues with several contributions: (1) we introduce model

Induction of murine experimental autoimmune myocarditis – technical details, implementation and evaluation

Introduction: Myocarditis is a complex cardiac disorder with multifactorial etiology, characterized by myocardial inflammation, cardiomyocyte damage, and fibrosis. Left untreated, myocarditis may lead to acute and chronic heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias. Reliable experimental models of myocarditis are required to study the underlying pathological mechanisms of the disease and to dev

Awareness of Time and Experience of Conscious Mental Processes during Musical Activity

How may changes in musicians’ experience of time influence their impressions of hav- ing conscious intentions during musical activity? In this essay I will present and discuss an autoethnographic account of how an exceptionally heightened awareness of time during musical improvisation may be connected to a heightened awareness of one’s own mental activity, particularly of speedy internal deliberat

The averaging process on infinite graphs

We consider the averaging process on an infinite connected graph with bounded degree and independent, identically distributed starting values or initial opinions. Assuming that the law of the initial opinion of a vertex has a finite second moment, we show that the opinions of all vertices converge in L2 to the first moment of the law of the initial opinions. A key tool in the proof is the Sharing
