Objective To estimate the prevalence of the curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis and Treponema pallidum, to identify associated risk factors and to assess ciprofloxacin resistance in N. gonorrhoeae-positive specimens among female sex workers (FSWs) in Guinea-Bissau. Methods For this cross-sectional

Wheat straw (WS) constitutes a considerable biomass resource and can be used to produce the energy carrier methane through anaerobic digestion. Due to the low contents of several nutrient elements and water in harvested WS, the use of sewage sludge (SS), consisting of primary sludge and waste-activated sludge, as a nutrient source in co-digestion with steam-pretreated wheat straw (PWS) was investi

Objectives: The enormous burden that cardiovascular diseases put on individuals and societies warrants reliable biomarkers of disease risk to optimize disease prevention. We studied longitudinal movement (LMov) in arterial walls using ultrasound of the common carotid artery (CCA). We believe that LMov could be a sensitive biomarker of cardiovascular health and in this study, we evaluate the intra-

Background: Two risk factors for severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely preterm infants are thrombocytopenia and low levels of arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). To date, these risk factors have not been linked. Method: Infants born < 28 weeks gestational age (GA) from 2016 to 2019 were randomized to postnatal enteral AA/DHA supplementation or standard care (contro

Drought is a climate risk that affects access to safe water, crop development, ecological stability, and food production. Therefore, developing drought prediction methods can lead to better management of surface and groundwater resources. Similarly, machine learning can be used to find improved relationships between nonlinear variables in complex systems. Initially, the standardized precipitation

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of corticosteroids for treating acute vestibular neuritis, or acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP), remains controversial.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate whether corticosteroids improve vestibular function and reduce symptoms in both acute and chronic phases of AUVP.METHODS: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial included patients with AUVP (ages

Familial Platelet Disorder with associated Myeloid Malignancy (FPDMM, FPD/AML, RUNX1-FPD), caused by monoallelic deleterious germline RUNX1 variants, is characterized by bleeding diathesis and predisposition for hematologic malignancies, particularly myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Clinical data on FPDMM-associated AML (FPDMM-AML) are limited, complicating evidence

Background and Objectives: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is an umbrella term for pain and dysfunction involving jaw muscles and/or the temporomandibular joint, with whiplash trauma suggested to be one risk factor. The aim was to evaluate prevalence and relative risk of TMDs in the acute and chronic stages after whiplash trauma. Databases and Data Treatment: This review was registered in Prosp

Purpose: Myocardial infarctions (MIs) can occur in underlying obstructive coronary artery disease (MI-CAD) or in non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). The primary objectives of the study were to investigate the prevalence of MI-CAD and MINOCA in people with CAL, and to explore if CAL is an independent risk factor for MI-CAD and MINOCA. Secondary objectives were to explore these research ques

BACKGROUND: Previous studies of glucagon stimulation test (GST) in children have shown variable results regarding the utility and reliability of the cortisol response to this test and its correlation with clinical parameters. The aim of this study was to assess cortisol levels at GST and to evaluate how clinical parameters, such as age, sex, pubertal status and Body Mass Index (BMI), correlate to

ObjectiveSputum cultures can guide antibiotic therapy, particularly in severe pneumonia or when resistant pathogens are suspected. However, data on how prior and ongoing antibiotic exposure affects microbial detection are limited. This study aimed to evaluate this impact, stratified by timing and route of administration.MethodsIn- and outpatients from nine hospitals in Skåne, Sweden, who submitted

Acute dyspnoea is one of the most common presenting symptoms in the emergency department (ED) and has a variety of underlying causes. Calprotectin is a neutrophil activation marker associated with adverse outcomes in acute cardiovascular and infectious diseases. However, the usefulness of calprotectin in the risk stratification of patients with acute dyspnoea is unknown. The objectives were to, in

Background: Management of traumatic spinal cord injury is complex and depends on a multidisciplinary approach involving pre-hospital services, spinal surgery, intensive care unit treatment and specialized rehabilitation. International clinical practice guidelines for the handling of these patients offer specific recommendations regarding transportation, radiological investigations, timing of surge

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Nonmetastatic (M0) clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) recurs in ∼20% of patients within 5 yr after surgery. With no biomarkers available, recurrence detection relies on radiological imaging. Urine glycosaminoglycan profiles (GAGomes) were previously associated with M0 ccRCC recurrence. We conducted an observational prospective multicentre diagnostic test cohort study

When patients experience peripheral vestibular or certain central disorders causing dizziness or vertigo, this is sometimes associated with experiencing also disrupted spatial orientation, which may be accentuated by exposure to a distorted visual environment. This study explores the impact of sensorimotor factors and sex on spatial orientation in sitting and standing positions. In the Rod-and-Fra
