Rationale: Regular, low-dose, sustained-release morphine is frequently prescribed for persistent breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, effects on daytime sleepiness, perceived sleep quality, and daytime function have not been rigorously investigated. Objectives: We sought to determine the effects of regular, low-dose, sustained-release morphine on sleep parameter

Ageing societies are facing major housing challenges. Understanding and addressing older adults' diverse housing needs and preferences are crucial. Having access to suitable and sustainable housing options can improve social cohesion, independence, health, and well-being. Participatory processes in housing development can enhance inclusion and democratic participation. This study uses Ramlösa Port

Aims. Chronotropic incompetence and impaired heart rate (HR) recovery are related to mortality. Guidelines lack specific reference values for HR recovery. We defined normal values and studied blunted HR response and recovery and mortality risk. Methods and results. We included 9917 subjects (45% females) aged 18–85 years who performed a cycle exercise test. We defined normal values for peak HR, HR

Background: To support care after discharge following surgery for anorectal malformations (ARM) and Hirschsprung's disease (HD), an eHealth device was invented, offering families bilateral communication through chat, photo, questionaries and video. Aim: To explore the impact of eHealth on postoperative patterns of expert consultation, complications and treatment after discharge following surgery f

Academic institutions are frequently called on to evidence the impact they have on their regional ecosystems whilst at the same time respond to the expectations that they produce globally significant research. This often results in tensions because of the different drivers and rewards of these dual ambitions.This exploratory research project describes how international academic partners across fiv

BACKGROUND: Patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer have a low likelihood of being cured and suffer from a broad spectrum of symptoms and problems that negatively affect their quality-of-life (QOL). Although the majority (67-75%) of patients at the time of diagnosis suffer from an incurable disease, research has primarily focused on the pre- and postoperative phase among patients treated with

Comparing 3D neutron and X-ray microtomography (NCT and XCT) results of fully pyrolyzed and pristine samples, we observed that the contrast in the neutron images increased for the carbonized samples, suggesting that H would be concentrated at the surface of the carbonized material structure.

This is an account that should be heard of an important struggle: the struggle of a large group of experts who came together at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic to warn the world about the risk of airborne transmission and the consequences of ignoring it. We alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) about the potential significance of the airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and the urgent

The scope of this presentation is a new methodology to correct conventional NIR data for scattering effects. The technique aims at measuring the absorption coefficient of the samples rather than the total attenuation, measured by conventional NIR spectroscopy. The main advantage of this is that the absorption coefficient is independent of the path length of the light inside the sample, and therefo

Atmospheric dispersion represents a relatively overlooked problem in connection with the ultimate quality of ELT images corrected by adaptive optics (AO). The aim of this paper is to evaluate the contribution from atmospheric dispersion to the background level of the point-spread function (PSF). Since proper suppression of this level is important for the prospects for direct exo-planet observation

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

The purpose of this study is to examine the international legal instruments specifically addressing the practice of enforced disappearance and analyse if they are sufficient in relation to the gravity and seriousness of the crime. The instruments examined are: the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappe
