Effect of silicone oil versus gas tamponade on macular layer microstructure after pars plana vitrectomy for macula on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

Purpose: To analyze structural changes in the macular retinal layers and sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in eyes after macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair by pars plana vitrectomy with either silicone oil (SO) or gas tamponade, and the effect of these changes on visual acuity. Patients and methods: Retrospective study which included 26 eyes in the SO Group and 32 in the

All that glitters is not gold : The depoliticization of social inequality in European education policy on ‘microcredentials’

At the present conjuncture of political, economic, social, and ecological crises, it is important to pay attention to the ways in which intensifying demands for equality, sustainability and social inclusion are met in education policy. In this article, we present results from a critical discourse analysis of an EU council recommendation on ‘microcredentials’ – credits for short courses primarily o

Enhanced LWIR response of InP/InAsP quantum discs-in-nanowire array photodetectors by photogating and ultra-thin ITO contacts

Here we report on an experimental and theoretical investigation of the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) photoresponse of photodetectors based on arrays of three million InP nanowires with axially embedded InAsP quantum discs. An ultra-thin top indium tin oxide contact combined with a novel photogating mechanism facilitates an improved LWIR normal incidence sensitivity in contrast to traditional pla

Skewness and kurtosis of mean transverse momentum fluctuations at the LHC energies

The first measurements of skewness and kurtosis of mean transverse momentum (〈pT〉) fluctuations are reported in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV, Xe–Xe collisions at sNN = 5.44 TeV and pp collisions at s=5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector. The measurements are carried out as a function of system size 〈dNch/dη〉|η|

Exertional breathlessness related to medical conditions in middle-aged people : the population-based SCAPIS study of more than 25,000 men and women

Background: Breathlessness is common in the population and can be related to a range of medical conditions. We aimed to evaluate the burden of breathlessness related to different medical conditions in a middle-aged population. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study of adults aged 50–64 years. Breathlessness (modified Medical Research Counci

Monitoring the Intracellular Fate of Molecular Beacons : The Challenge of False Positive Signals

Molecular beacons (MBs) have been used on surfaces for detecting oligonucleotides. Attempts to use them intracellularly for monitoring mRNA content have been made, however, without any clear conclusion regarding the reliability of the method, mainly due to false positive signals. To reach an understanding of the intracellular fate of MBs, a critical question remains: how long after MB delivery and

Mental and physical health in children of women with a history of anorexia nervosa

Few studies have investigated the offspring of women with anorexia nervosa (AN). The aim of this study was to examine perinatal status, mental and physical health in the offspring of mothers with a history of AN. Fifty-one individuals with adolescent-onset AN and 51 matched controls (COMP) have been followed prospectively. Presently, 30 years after AN onset, at a mean age of 44 years, female parti

Complement C1s deficiency in a male Caucasian patient with systemic lupus erythematosus : a case report

Deficiencies of the early complement components of the classical pathway (CP) are well-documented in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or SLE-like syndromes and severe pyogenic infections. Among these, complete C1s deficiency has been reported in nine cases so far. Here, we describe a 34-year-old male patient who presented with severe, recurrent infections since childhood, includ

Fast matrix inversion in compressive spectral imaging based on a tensorial representation

Snapshot spectral imaging enables the acquisition of hyperspectral images (HSI) employing specialized optical systems, such as the coded aperture snapshot spectral imager (CASSI). Specifically, the CASSI system performs spatiospectral codification of light obtaining two-dimensional projected measurements, and these measurements are then processed by computational algorithms to obtain the desired s

Every farmer is a farmer? : A critical analysis of the emergence and development of Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana

Smallholder farmer-based rural social movements have been heralded as a promising source of political power with the potential to effectively promote sustainable trajectories of agricultural development in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. However, the very early stages of rural social movement building remain understudied, including under what conditions such nascent efforts are likely to lead to ef

Creative management: a framework for designing multifunctional play biotopes - lessons from a Scandinavian landscape laboratory

Most children grow up in urbanised settings with a low possibility to experience biodiversity and nature. However, experiencing nature and other species increases children’s wellbeing, health, learning abilities and their understanding of nature values. Play biotopes is one solution for supporting a co-existence between children and different species in nature-based play settings. Play biotopes ar

Navigating the Critical Nexus. Bridging Simulation, Measuring, and Acid-Base diagnosis in ICU and Dialysis

Intensivvårdsavdelningen (IVA) tar hand om de mest kritiskt sjuka patienterna, ofta med multiorgansvikt. Denna patientgrupp kräver kontinuerlig övervakning av vitala funktioner som blodtryck, EKG och syremättnad. Varje patient på IVA kräver dessutom upprepad provtagning, ibland så ofta som var 15:e min. Denna ständiga övervakning leder till insamling av mycket patientdata som varje läkare/sjukvård

Effectiveness of Low-impact development for mitigating the risk of pluvial flooding : A case study in Trelleborg, Sweden

Increasing imperviousness in urban areas, and changes in rainfall intensity and return periods because of climate change increase urban flood risk. This study utilizes the hydraulic model Mike+ to assess the multifunctional use of existing roads and parking lots, which could serve to either retain or detain stormwater and accommodate trees, plants, and vegetation as part of a low-impact developmen

Putaminal T1/T2-weighted ratio is increased in PSP compared to PD and healthy controls, a multi-cohort study

Introduction: Differentiating Parkinson's disease (PD) from progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a common clinical problem. We aimed to apply the T1-/T2-weighted ratio imaging technique, based on standard clinical MRI, to reveal differences in neurodegeneration in three large cohorts. Methods: Three cohorts, with a total of 405 participants (269 PD, 44 PSP, 38

Cost of Illness of Head and Neck Cancer in Sweden

OBJECTIVES: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. The condition and its treatment often lead to marked morbidities and, for some patients, premature death. Inferentially, HNC imposes a significant economic burden on society. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and detailed estimation of the cost of illness of HNC for Sweden in 2019.METHODS: This is a prevalen
