Percutaneous transAXillary access for endovascular aortic procedures in the multicenter international PAXA registry

Background: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a suture-mediated vascular closure device to perform hemostasis after an axillary artery access during endovascular procedures on the aortic valve, the aorta and its side branches. Methods: A physician-initiated, international, multicenter, retrospective registry was designed to evaluate the success rate (VARC-2 re

A common model for the breathlessness experience across cardiorespiratory disease

Chronic breathlessness occurs across many different conditions, often independently of disease severity. Yet, despite being strongly linked to adverse outcomes, the consideration of chronic breathlessness as a stand-alone therapeutic target remains limited. Here we use data-driven techniques to identify and confirm the stability of underlying features (factors) driving breathlessness across differ

Breathlessness dimensions association with physical and mental quality of life : the population based VASCOL study of elderly men

Significance of the contractual relationship for the efficient railway maintenance project planning

Efficiently planned railway maintenance helps ensure reliable infrastructure and the proper functioning of its components. The Swedish Transport Administration delegates maintenance work to contractors through a tender process. This paper analyses differences in communication and collaboration in the planning and execution of maintenance under two contract types. A document review and interviews w

Gender Fairness in Social Robotics : Exploring a Future Care of Peripartum Depression

In this paper we investigate the possibility of socially assistive robots (SARs) supporting diagnostic screening for peripartum depression (PPD) within the next five years. Through a HRI/socio-legal collaboration, we explore the gender norms within PPD in Sweden, to inform a gender-sensitive approach to designing SARs in such a setting, as well as governance implications. This is achieved through

Underlying conditions contributing to breathlessness in the population

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Assessment of underlying conditions that contribute to breathlessness is fundamental for symptom management. This review aims to summarize the knowledge from the past two years on the most common underlying conditions among individuals with breathlessness in the general population and to identify research gaps. RECENT FINDINGS: Nine studies from the last two years were included

Contrasting effects of tree origin and urbanization on invertebrate abundance and tree phenology

The ongoing wide-scale introduction of nonnative plants across the world may negatively influence native invertebrate fauna, due to a lack of coevolved traits related to the novel plants, e.g., unique phytochemicals or shifted phenology. Nonnative plants, specifically trees, are common in urban environments, areas that already pose novel habitats to plants and wildlife through a wide array of anth
