PURPOSE: The local immune infiltrate's influence on tumor progression may be closely linked to tumor-intrinsic factors. The study aimed to investigate whether integrating immunologic and tumor-intrinsic factors can identify patients from a low-risk cohort who may be candidates for radiotherapy (RT) de-escalation.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The SweBCG91RT trial included 1,178 patients with stage I to IIA
Background & aims: Epidemiological evidence on ultra-processed food (UPF) and cause-specific mortality remains limited and mixed. Molecular mechanisms underlying UPF intake and mortality remain unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between UPF consumption, metabolic signatures, and all-cause, premature, and cause-specific mortality. Methods: This study included 27670 partic
Abstract in Norwegian Bakgrunn. Fallulykker er et viktig helseproblem hos eldre. Både balansetesting og registrering av egenrapportert funksjon kan være måter å forutse fremtidige ulykker på. Materiale og metode. I en kohortstudie ble egenrapportert gangfunksjon kartlagt hos 307 tilfeldig utvalgte hjemmeboende kvinner 75 år og eldre. Kvinnene gjennomgikk også testing av balanse og gangfunksjon, oBACKGROUND: Falls represent an important health problem among the elderly. Balance testing as well as registration of self-reported balance problems may be appropriate in order to predict the risk of future falls. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Self-reported walking was assessed in 307 randomly selected women 75 years or older living at home. The women underwent testing of gait and balance and were follow
Motivation: Pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. However, rapid human-induced environmental changes are compromising the long-term persistence of plant-pollinator interactions. Unfortunately, we lack robust, generalisable data capturing how plant-pollinator communities are structured across space and time. Here, we present the EuPPollNet (European Plant-
Background Elevated troponin levels are a sensitive biomarker for cardiac injury. The quick and reliable prediction of troponin elevation for patients with chest pain from readily available ECGs may pose a valuable time-saving diagnostic tool during decision-making concerning this patient population. Methods and results The data used included 15 856 ECGs from patients presenting to the emergency r
Background: The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) platforms has rapidly increased. The number of B-lines present on lung ultrasound (LUS) serve as a useful tool for the assessment of pulmonary congestion. Interpretation, however, requires experience and therefore AI automation has been pursued. This study aimed to test the agreement between the AI
Lean, premixed, swirl-stabilized flames are widely used in modern Dry Low Emissions gas turbine combustors; however, the turbulent combustion process under those conditions is known to be extremely sensitive and prone to instabilities. Numerical simulations can be a valuable tool in predicting the effects of alternative fuels; however, the sensitivity of the results to different models ought to be
The combustion of conventional Jet A, alongside two alternative jet fuels, C1 and C5, is simulated with Large Eddy Simulations (LES) in a generic single-cup spray combustor during idle and cruise conditions. The spray is modeled using Lagrangian particle tracking and the combustion chemistry of each fuel is modeled by skeletal reaction mechanisms. The volatility and atomizability of each fuel dire

1996 infördes miljöersättning för skötsel av landskapselement som ligger i eller i anslutning till åkermark i Sverige. Landskapselement i jordbrukslandskapet såsom öppna diken, stenmurar, åkerrenar och åkerholmar är viktiga småbiotoper för många djur- och växtarter. Idag (2013) kan miljöersättning för kultur- och naturmiljöer i odlingslandskapet (även kallat kulturmiljöstöd) sökas av lantbrukare sIn 1996, an agri-environmental support scheme was introduced in Sweden to compensate farmers for the maintenance of landscape elements located in or adjacent to cropland. Landscape elements in the agricultural landscape, for example ditches, stone walls, field margins and field islets, are important small biotopes for many animal and plant species. Today, farmers who remove bushes and trees (with
Abstract in Undetermined Background: Measured or modeled levels of outdoor air pollution are being used as proxies for individual exposure in a growing number of epidemiological studies. We studied the accuracy of such approaches, in comparison with measured individual levels, and also combined modeled levels for each subject's workplace with the levels at their residence to investigate the influe
Miljömålsberedningens (MMB) betänkande kommer vid en viktig tid, när tiden blir alltmer knapp för att sträva efter beslutade nationella och internationella mål om klimat och biologisk mångfald. De närmaste åren är på många sätt kritiska för att dels begränsa klimatpåverkan, dels värna om natur och biologisk mångfald i linje med vetenskapen och beslutade ambitionsnivåer. Det är mycket viktigt med å
Children's interactions with nature are important mediators of health benefits and future relationships with nature and conservation. However, there are growing concerns that children are becoming disconnected from nature as societal changes make natural environments and their affordances less accessible. There is now a need to explore ways to reconnect children to nature. We evaluated bird feedin
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is frequent in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) with 2 different phenotypes: isolated postcapillary PH (IpcPH) and, with the worst prognosis, combined pre- and postcapillary PH (CpcPH). The aims of the present echocardiography study were to investigate (1) the ability to identify PH phenotype in patients with HFrEF using the
Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) provides a platform for spatial data sharing and is a key for sustainable development. Developing countries, including Tanzania, are at different stages of implementing SDIs. The importance and advantage of implementation lie in the fact that considerable funds can be saved by avoiding duplication of data, and improving quality of decisions making as well as publi
