Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den mest frekventa cancerformen bland kvinnor, 1 av 8 drabbas någon gång under sin livstid av sjukdomen. Införandet av mammografi har gjort att cancern upptäcks tidigare och detta, tillsammans med effektivare behandlingsformer, har bidragit till att dödligheten i bröstcancer sjunkit de senaste decennierna. Antalet fall av bröstcancer ökar dock ständigt, fBreast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in females worldwide. Breast tumours are extremely heterogeneous, and each patient’s disease has different causes, prognosis and appropriate treatments associated with it. To enable a more individualised therapy, there is a substantial need for better characterisation of tumours and a deeper understanding o

The research group from Humanities laboratory at Lund University, Sweden, presents three strands of research on language and cognition where eye-tracking methodology has been used as a window on the mind. The paper includes: (1) eye tracking studies on picture viewing and picture description showing the dynamics of how speakers perceive, conceptualize and spontaneously describe complex visual scen

Retrieving episodic memories often involves reconstructing both their semantic content and the emotional context in which they occurred. However, the neural mechanisms that differentiate these forms of reinstatement remain poorly understood. This event-related potential (ERP) study examines how semantic category and emotional valence are reinstated during memory retrieval.Seventy participants enco

In this section of the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021, key information on the epidemiology and outcome of in and out of hospital cardiac arrest are presented. Key contributions from the European Registry of Cardiac Arrest (EuReCa) collaboration are highlighted. Recommendations are presented to enable health systems to develop registries as a platform for quality improvement and to

This study aims to explore how physicians make sense of and give meaning to their decision-making during obstetric emergencies. Childbirth is considered safe in the wealthiest parts of the world. However, variations in both intervention rates and delivery outcomes have been found between countries and between maternity units of the same country. Interventions can prevent neonatal and maternal morb

Background Tuberculosis is among the leading causes of death among infectious diseases. Regions with a high incidence of tuberculosis, such as sub-Saharan Africa, are disproportionately burdened by stillbirth and other pregnancy complications. Active tuberculosis increases the risk of pregnancy complications, but the association between latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and pregnancy outcomes i

Background: Induced hypothermia post-cardiac arrest is neuroprotective in animal experiments, but few high-quality studies have been performed in larger animals with human-like brains. The neuroprotective effect of postischemic hypothermia has recently been questioned in human trials. Our aim is to investigate whether hypothermia post-cardiac arrest confers a benefit compared to normothermia in la

Background: Sedation is routinely administered to critically ill patients to alleviate anxiety, discomfort, and patient-ventilator asynchrony. However, it must be balanced against risks such as delirium and prolonged intensive care stays. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of sedation in critically ill adults. Methods: Systematic review with meta-analysis and trial seq

Introduction: Traumatic axonal injury (TAI), often caused by rapid rotational forces and high-energy accidents, is common in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). The intracranial pressure (ICP) dynamics are often unpredictable, and the need for ICP monitoring remains debated. Research question: What is the incidence of ICP elevation in patients with TAI, and how often is escalated ICP-lowering tr

In all times, societies have known social hierarchies and boundaries between individuals and groups with distinct social characteristics. The extent to which such hierarchies and boundaries are consequential for life outcomes and persist over time differs between societies. These changes over generations in the social structure, and the social, economical, and institutional developments that shape

Abstract in UndeterminedThe purpose of this study is to preliminarily evaluate Chile’s energy and climate policy performance historically (1971-2007). The objective is to estimate different indicators in relation to energy and CO2 emission intensities, and identify policy instruments in the light of estimated trends and related structural issues. The methodology is based on a top-down decompositio

I Östkinesiska havet finns en avlägset belägen ögrupp bestående av fem öar och tre karga klippor. Ögruppen utgörs av en nödtorftig vegetation och det förefaller inte finnas något sötvatten. På grund av ögruppens ogästvänliga egenskaper har öarna genom historien ansetts vara av mycket litet ekonomiskt värde och de har sedan urminnes tider, bortsett från en kortare period i början av 1900-talet, varSituated in the East China Sea lays a remotely located island group consisting of five small islands and three barren rocks. The islands sustain scarce vegetation and there’s most likely no fresh water on the islands. Due to their inhospitable character, the islands have historically been considered to be of little economic value and they have since ancient times, apart from a short period during

This paper describes a knowledge integration framework for robotics, whose goal is to represent, store, adapt, and distribute knowledge across engineering platforms. The architecture abstracts the components as data sources, where data are available in the AutomationML data exchange format. AutomationML is an on-going standard initiative that aims at unifying data representation and APIs used by e

SOX9 is a transcription factor of the SRY family that regulates sex determination, cartilage development and numerous other developmental events. In the foetal growth plate, Sox9 is highly expressed in chondrocytes of the proliferating and prehypertrophic zone but declines abruptly in the hypertrophic zone, suggesting that Sox9 downregulation in hypertrophic chondrocytes might be a necessary step

Background: Voluntary self-exclusion from gambling is a common but underdeveloped harm reduction tool in the management of gambling problems or gambling disorders. Large-scale, multi-operator, and operator-independent self-exclusion services are needed. A recent nationwide multi-operator self-exclusion service in Sweden (Spelpaus), involving both land- and web-based gambling sites, is promising, b
