Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation—Does it really exist? A case report

Acquired arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the uterus can cause life-threatening vaginal bleeding and are associated with previous pregnancy, abortion or pelvic trauma. The pathophysiology is not well understood and the diagnosis is usually made by greyscale ultrasound often with nonspecific imaging findings, hence making it difficult to establish a correct diagnosis and therefore also the true

Formation of Epitaxial PdO(100) During the Oxidation of Pd(100)

The catalytic oxidation of CO and CH4 can be strongly influenced by the structures of oxide phases that form on metallic catalysts during reaction. Here, we show that an epitaxial PdO(100) structure forms at temperatures above 600 K during the oxidation of Pd(100) by gaseous O atoms as well as exposure to O2-rich mixtures at millibar partial pressures. The oxidation of Pd(100) by gaseous O atoms p

Lawyers in 21st-Century Societies: Volume 1: National Reports

The world's legal professions have undergone dramatic changes in the 30 years since publication of the landmark three-volume Lawyers in Society, which launched comparative sociological studies of lawyers. This is the first of two volumes in which scholars from a wide range of disciplines, countries and cultures document and analyse those changes.The present volume presents reports on 46 countries,

SLAM Using Cellular Multipath Component Delays and Angular Information with JPDA Approximation

Advanced cellular communication systems provide increased potential for opportunistic high-accuracy positioning. In this paper, long-term evolution (LTE) downlink signals from two commercial base stations (BS) are received by a massive antenna array mounted on a passenger vehicle. Multipath component (MPC) parameters, like delays and angle-of-arrival (AOA) are extracted from the received signals o

District heating and cooling systems transition : Evaluation of current challenges and future possibilities

District heating and cooling systems offer a cost-effective and secure supply of heating and cooling to connected buildings. They are widely recognised as a key solution to decarbonise the building sector due to their high potential of integrating renewable energy sources. The systems traditionally involved generating heating and cooling centrally with distribution through separate pipes before de

Short-term association between outdoor temperature and the hydration-marker copeptin : a pooled analysis in five cohorts

BACKGROUND: Whereas outdoor temperature is linked to both mortality and hydration status, the hormone vasopressin, measured through the surrogate copeptin, is a marker of cardiometabolic risk and hydration. We recently showed that copeptin has a seasonal pattern with higher plasma concentration in winter. Here, we aimed to investigate the association between outdoor temperature and copeptin.METHOD

Enhanced Understanding of Structure-Function Relationships for Oxomanganese(IV) Complexes

A series of manganese(II) and oxomanganese(IV) complexes supported by neutral, pentadentate ligands with varied equatorial ligand-field strength (N3pyQ, N2py2I, and N4pyMe2) were synthesized and then characterized using structural and spectroscopic methods. On the basis of electronic absorption spectroscopy, the [MnIV(O)(N4pyMe2)]2+ complex has the weakest equatorial ligand field among a set of si

Taxation in Africa since colonial times

This chapter focuses on taxation in Africa since 1900. Using existing data and insights from the literature, the chapter documents taxes collected by colonial and post-colonial states, exploring what was taxed, the types of taxes, the tax revenue patterns and the socio-political contexts shaping taxation policies. It begins by discussing the fundamental principles of taxation and forms of direct a

Structural insights on ionizable Dlin-MC3-DMA lipids in DOPC layers by combining accurate atomistic force fields, molecular dynamics simulations and neutron reflectivity

Ionizable lipids such as the promising Dlin-MC3-DMA (MC3) are essential for the successful design of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as drug delivery agents. Combining molecular dynamics simulations with experimental data, such as neutron reflectivity experiments and other scattering techniques, is essential to provide insights into the internal structure of LNPs, which is not fully understood to date.

Mammographic density in relation to breast cancer recurrence and survival in women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Objective: The association between mammographic density (MD) and breast cancer (BC) recurrence and survival remains unclear. Patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) are in a vulnerable situation with the tumor within the breast during treatment. This study evaluated the association between MD and recurrence/survival in BC patients treated with NACT. Methods: Patients with BC treated wit

Primary midwives' experiences of collegial midwifery assistance during the active second stage of labor : Data from the Oneplus trial

Background: Collegial midwifery assistance during the active second stage of labor that involves a second midwife being present has been shown to reduce severe perineal trauma (SPT) by 30%. The aim of this study was to investigate primary midwives' experiences of collegial midwifery assistance with the purpose of preventing SPT during the active second stage of labor. Methods: This study uses an o
