Background There is limited knowledge on whether prior knee surgery impacts the clinical profile and treatment outcomes for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Objectives The study aimed to (i) compare individual and clinical characteristics, and (ii) evaluate whether outcomes of first-line treatment differ between individuals with prior knee surgery and those without. Methods This study us

Patients with dementia experience a steady deterioration in cognitive function that increases mortality and impairments. Moreover, dementia is also anticipated to increase significantly in prevalence as the world's population ages, placing a strain on healthcare systems throughout the globe. Hence, early identification and prediction of dementia are essential due to timely treatments, enhanced pat

Reusing building products is a feasible strategy for the construction and real estate industry to mitigate its climate impact. Sustainable reuse must be executed with quality assurance and defined responsibilities to encourage clients and avoid suboptimal outcomes. Despite the growing need to quality-assure reused products, there is limited research, particularly from an industry perspective. Prev

Objective To evaluate any association of the presence and severity of nine major symptoms (pain, tiredness, drowsiness, nausea, appetite, breathlessness, depression, anxiety, and perceived well-being) with sleep quality and duration in elderly men.Design and setting Cross-sectional analysis within the population-based VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study (VASCOL) conducted in southe

Being one of the largest industries, the agricultural sector is central to achieving EU and UN sustainability goals. However, the role of sustainable business model innovation (SBMI) in low-tech sectors, such as agriculture, remains empirically underexplored, as existing research has largely focused on high-tech industries and large firms. The paper addresses this gap by examining how SBMI can sup

Boreal forests are globally important carbon (C) sinks, but strategies for maximising their climate benefit remain under debate. Major uncertainties in this discussion arise from contrasting sink-source estimates, which largely emanate from inherent limitations of standard measurement techniques to distinct spatio-temporal scales. Here, we use a spatially-nested measurement framework that integrat

Objective. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of an intervention with advance provision of emergency contraceptive pills (ECP), condoms, and extended information to a targeted group of teenage girls, compared with a control group, 12 months after intervention. Material and methods. A randomized controlled trial among 420 girls, 15-19 years old, requesting emergency contraceptio

Background: Pain in children is undertreated. An assessment scale co-designed with children, parents, and health care professionals could lead to more effective pain assessments and treatment strategies aimed at reducing pain and pain-related symptoms. There are analogue scales validated for self-report of pain in children, but today, children regularly use digital technology, which healthcare sho

Adaptive reuse of buildings, repurposing existing structures for new functions, is gaining attention for its potential in sustainable development and optimisation of building materials usage. This practice is particularly relevant in the building sector, where space heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems represent a significant portion of project costs, embodied energy, greenhou

Objective: Although rare, malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) account for 70 % of ovarian malignancies in women younger than 30 years. Given the rarity of MOGCTs and the limited population-based data, this study aims to examine national treatment patterns and survival in women with MOGCTs, with a focus on fertility-sparing surgery. Methods: This nationwide population-based study included a
