INTRODUCTION: Hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSIs) are severe and require antibiotic therapy. In non-complicated BSIs, shortened therapy reduces side effects without compromising efficacy. The impact of shortened antibiotic therapy in HA-BSI critically ill patients without indication of prolonged therapy requires further evaluation. METHODS: Using the international prospective EUROBA

Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain. Differences in the management of this large group of patients has important consequences for the patients and the healthcare system. Controversies regarding the understanding of the natural course of the disease, the utility of new diagnostic methods, and alternative treatments have lead to large variations in

Compared to lake area and water level, lake storage capacity more intuitively reflects regional climate changes. In this study, we first derived lakebed elevation profiles for individual ICESat-2 tracks based on the underwater stratification of laser photons, then integrating all valid elevation tracks within the water body to interpolate the bathymetry. On this basis, we calculated the capacity a

Purpose: To compare the performance of targeted temperature management (TTM) at 33 °C using intravascular (IC) vs. surface-cooling (SFC) devices after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: A post hoc analysis including OHCA patients randomized to hypothermia in the TTM2-trial (NCT02908308) comparing hypothermia with normothermia. The main outcome was cooling performance, defined as the p

This review summarises some of the key features of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) from a translational science point of view and brings insights into potential therapeutic options. Genetic predisposition and environmental factors like smoking, pollution and infections significantly impact the onset, progression and treatment response in ILDs, highlighting the need for personalised management. F

A large data set of new and previously published measurements of δ13C values derived from tooth enamel (n = 223, of which 93 are new) are compiled to explore patterns of foraging area preferences of Late Cretaceous mosasaurid squamates over evolutionary time scales (~93–66 Ma). Our results indicate that small-bodied halisaurines are restricted to a relatively nearshore range, overlapping the lower

English is spoken in a multitude of accents all over the world. But these accents are not neutral. They are a source of stereotypes. For example, people who speak with a Birmingham accent are considered less intelligent and less suitable as a university lecturer than people speaking with a standard British accent. This thesis investigates the factors that influence how English children develop theEnglish is spoken in a multitude of accents all over the world. But these accents are not neutral.

This study explores the designs and dynamics of past, present, and potential mediation and negotiation efforts to stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Applying insights from mediation and negotiation literature, the article explores three questions relating to negotiating peace in Ukraine: who is best positioned to negotiate or mediate such a process (who should be presented at the table), when s

Through biosilicification, organisms incorporate dissolved silica (dSi) and deposit it as biogenic silica (bSi), driving the silicon (Si) cycle in aquatic systems. While Si accumulation in marine picocyanobacteria has been recently observed, its mechanisms and ecological implications remain unclear. This study investigates biosilicification in marine and brackish picocyanobacteria of the Synechoco

Bivalves are considered mainly filter-feeding organisms; they remove suspended particles including phytoplankton, zooplankton, and bacteria from the water column. Moreover, some bivalves can also feed via pedal-feeding, which is the uptake of organic matter from the sediment using cilia on the foot. Diplodon parallelopipedon is a native bivalve from South America, which can obtain their foo

Although financial stressors are implicated as risk factors for suicidal behavior, these associations might be confounded by other factors. Furthermore, a move toward high-risk subgroup definition is necessary. The authors used Swedish national registry data to examine the associations between receipt of social welfare, unemployment benefits, or early retirement (N = 627,745-2,260,753) with suicid

How can we study the late ancient and Byzantine history from ecological perspectives? How might one grapple with the more-than-human in sources and media created by humans? Exploring the diverse ways in which pre-modern texts engaged with the broader natural world, this book presents scholarly ventures into the terrains of the past. From the ancient treatises on dreams to monastic tales from the H

In celebration of the excellence of articles published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A, Editors’ and Readers’ Choice Awards are annually conferred to the top papers in the categories Original Research Paper and Review/Review-History Article. The recipients of the 2025 Editors’ Choice Awards were selected based on votes cast by the Editorial Board on articles published in 2024. In the ca

This article presents the notion of ‘civil society hospitality’, addressing welcoming initiatives that open spaces and provide services to unaccompanied youth in Malmö. The article contributes to the literature on bottom-up humanitarianism and focuses on hospitality practices and their limits. Through semi-structured interviews with key civil society actors and attending key events, the article ar

This introductory chapter introduces the aim and idea of the book. It discusses ecocritical theory and related questions relevant for the book.

Migration journeys are arduous, with migrants tormented by risk, abuse, threats, and xenophobia. Shelters, staffed by humanitarian workers and volunteers, provide safe spaces for those in transit. Shelter on the Journey examines how these sites, often faith-based civil society associations, create solidarity and help politicize migrants, giving them a sense of themselves as an empowered, rights-ho
