Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell (PC) malignancy characterized by cytogenetic abnormalities, such as t(11;14)(q13;q32), resulting in CCND1 overexpression. The rs9344 G allele within CCND1 is the most significant susceptibility allele for t(11;14). Sequencing data from 2 independent cohorts, CoMMpass (n = 698) and Mayo Clinic (n = 661), confirm the positive association between the G allele an
Purpose: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is the current gold standard assay that provides information related to risk stratification and therapeutic selection for individuals with plasma cell neoplasms. The differential hybridization of FISH probe sets in association with individuals’ genetic ancestry has not been previously reported. Methods: This retrospective study included 1224 bone
Study design: Prospective cohort study. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of wheelchair skills training (WSTR) for participants with spinal cord injury (SCI) during peer-led Active Rehabilitation Camps (ARC) in Poland. We hypothesized that participation in ARC will improve wheelchair skill performance and self-efficacy in individuals with SCI. We also aimed to determine demographic and injury-re
Purpose: This study aimed to examine how young people living with Home Mechanical Ventilation experience the transition from childhood to young adulthood in relation to everyday life, perceived health and transition into adult professional healthcare. Methods: Nine young adults (three females and six males aged 18–31) were interviewed, and data was primary analysed using phenomenological hermeneut
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) depend on the separator membrane for their efficiency and cycle life. Herein, two amphoteric ion exchange membranes are synthesized, based on sulfonic acid group-grafted poly(p-terphenyl piperidinium), for VRFBs. Using ether-free poly(p-terphenyl piperidine) (PTP) as the polymer matrix, and sodium 2-bromoethanesulphonate (ES) and 1,4-butane sultone (BS) as gra
Aim: The type of surgical procedure used in rectal cancer treatment may affect cancer recurrence. The aim of this study was to determine whether the type of procedure influences oncological outcomes in rectal cancer surgery. Method: We gathered data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry regarding patients with TNM Stage I–III rectal cancer who underwent R0/R1 surgery from 2013 to 2017. The o
The world is suffering from increasing weather extremes caused by climate change of which the building sector is a major contributor. There is however a large reduction potential in the sector and circular economy has received increased attention both within research and practice. This study explores circular futures within the building sector through the futures studies method of backcasting. Two
Previous research has identified sociodemographic inequalities in fire prevention measures. This study examined whether sociodemographic differences persist in the Swedish population concerning fire prevention measures and particularly whether there remains an inverted u-curve related to age in protection habits. Additionally, it investigated whether fire protection practices are influenced by the
Background and aims: Arginase 1 deficiency (ARG1-D) is a ultrarare disease with manifestations that cause mobility and cognitive impairment that progress over time and may lead to early mortality. Diseases such as ARG1-D have a major impact also outside of the health care sector and the aim of this study was to estimate the current burden of disease associated with ARG1-D from a societal perspecti
Background: Dental resin composites' performance is intricately linked to their polymerisation shrinkage characteristics. This study compares polymerisation shrinkage using advanced 3D micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and traditional 2D linear assessments. It delves into the crucial role of filler content on shrinkage and the degree of conversion in dental resin composites, providing valuable
This article investigates the versatile embodiment of touch in the sensory-aesthetic construction of piano performance. The sensorial interactions enmeshed in piano playing distribute a peculiar interaction between touch and sound, which can be comprehended as two kinds of pianistic touch–the physical touch and the affective touch. In the synthesis, or symbiosis, of these two kinds of touch, piano
AI-kommissionen föreslår 75 steg för att Sverige ska stärkas genom AI. Många av förslagen är välriktade, inte minst på utbildnings- och forskningsområdet. Det krävs tunga AI-investeringar framöver, men de får inte bara rikta in sig på teknik skriver bland annat Virginia Dignum, Professor Responsible Artificial Intelligence Umeå Universitet, Jonas Ivarsson, professor i informatik vid Göteborgs univ
This chapter examines a population of third language (L3) learners that has received little attention, namely heritage speaker (HS) L3 learners, who grow up speaking two languages in early childhood. Unlike traditionally studied L3 learners, who acquired their L2 as older children, HSs have two naturalistically acquired languages to draw from, which has been suggested to have implications for L3 a
Child first language acquisition (L1A) and adult second language acquisition (SLA) have observably different outcomes. Considering how distinct the two acquisition contexts often are, divergence is perhaps not surprising. Only adults acquiring a second language (L2) (i) are typically not surrounded by high quantities of native input, (ii) receive and must filter through significant amounts of non-
AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyse and summarize studies on the effects of polypharmacy on people living with dementia (PwD). The study aimed to categorize these effects, evaluate the quality of the studies, and estimate the pooled effect sizes of these consequences using meta-analysis.MethodA systematic literature review was conducted following th
We use high-resolution (35pc) hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation to investigate the relation between gas accretion and star formation in galaxies hosted by dark matter haloes of mass at. At high-redshift, cold-Accreted gas is expected to be readily available for star formation, while gas accreted in a hot mode is expected to require a longer time to cool down before being able to form
In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, the accelerated shift to remote and hybrid work modes has left many office buildings vacant. Meanwhile, many cities struggle with providing housing. Adaptive reuse (AR) is the process of giving an existing building a new life, typically through an extensive renovation and refurbishment. Residential adaptative reuse specifically refers to adapting for hous
The Rieger syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder involving ocular, dental, and umbilical defects is caused bymutations in PITX2, a Bicoid type homeobox protein. Moreover, Pitx2 is involved in the Nodal/Sonic hedgehogpathway that determines left/right polarity. Mouse Pitx2 mRNA is expressed in eye, tooth and umbilicus consistent withthe human Riegers phenotype. It is also asymmetrically expresse
