Objective: To identify subgroups of patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-confirmed degenerative meniscus tears who may benefit from arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) in comparison with non-surgical or sham treatment. Methods: Individual participant data (IPD) from four RCTs were pooled (605 patients, mean age: 55 (SD: 7.5), 52.4% female) as to investigate the effectiveness of APM i

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is commonly used in patients with heart failure and left ventricular dyssynchrony. Several scoring systems have been tested in order to predict long-term outcome. Although intended for use in patients with atrial fibrillation, we sought to assess the performance of the CHA2DS2-VASc score in a CRT population. Methods: Data on 796 consecutive CRT p

In this contribution, we analyse scenarios of advanced wastewater treatment for the removal of micropollutants. By this we refer to current mainstream, broad spectrum processes including ozonation and sorption onto activated carbon. We argue that advanced treatment requires properly implemented tertiary (nutrient removal) treatment in order to be effective. We review the critical aspects of the ma

Is there beauty in rhetorical failure? This study is an exploration of disorder and death in the Gospel according to Mark (Mk). With a surviving fragment from the second-century theologian Papias of Hierapolis, the early reception of Mk locates insights into the composition of Jesus’s death, especially through the concepts of ataxia and rhetorical failure. Papias launches an early and influential

Background: Women are less likely to receive oral anticoagulation or ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Identification of sex differences in arrhythmia characteristics and symptoms may lead to a better understanding of potential reasons for these differences. Objectives: To determine sex differences in AF with respect to heart rate, duration, burden, and symptoms in patients under

Background Physical activity improves health, exercise tolerance and quality of life in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), and exercise training is in most patients a high-benefit low risk intervention. However, factors that influence the confidence to perform exercise training, i.e. exercise self-efficacy (ESE), in CHD patients are virtually unknown. We aimed to identify factors related

Introduction: The prevalence of arthropathy in moderate haemophilia A (MHA) and B (MHB) is not well known. Aim: We evaluated joint health in Nordic patients in relation to their treatment modality. Methods: A cross-sectional, multicentre study covering MHA and MHB in Sweden, Finland and Norway. Arthropathy was evaluated by ultrasound (HEAD-US) and Haemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS). Results: We

Mineral evolution is concerned with the timing of mineral occurrences, such as the earliest reported occurrences in the geologic record. Minerals containing essential Li have not been reported from rocks older than ca. 3000 Ma, thus the lithian tourmaline (fluor-elbaite) and mica (lepidolite) assemblage from a pegmatite near Zishineni associated with the ca. 3000 Ma Sinceni Pluton presents unusual

A new fluorescent analog to the antiproliferative 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl)-beta-D-xylopyranoside has been synthesized and tested on a T24 cell line. The new analog was efficiently uptaken by the T24 cells but did not initiate priming of GAG chains. The results are similar to other fluorescently labeled analogs and we propose that these compounds are too large and unpolar to efficiently function as GA

Exercise is known to affect the airway epithelium through dehydration, followed by a release of mediators, such as club cell (Clara) protein (CC16). The aim of this study was to follow the CC16 levels at repeated time points in plasma and urine after exercise in asthmatic subjects and controls, and to relate the findings to exhaled breath temperature (EBT) and exhaled nitric oxide (NO). Twenty-two

Background: Research in the last decades has clearly pointed to the important role of language and communicative level when trying to understand developmental trajectories in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Aims: The purpose of this longitudinal study was to investigate whether (1) core language skills, measured as expressive vocabulary and grammar, and/or (2) pre-linguistic social-

Stock binds capital and this should be of highest concern for companies to minimize. Therefore it is important to design their reorder points in such way that service levels are met while keeping as low capital as possible. How well do the most common dimensioning methods perform with respect to the capital in safety stock and how the parameter is set in the best-of-breed methods to meet a given s

Title_ Metric points of gravity in music - interaction between meter and rhythm and its role in the process of musical interpretation. The aim of the present study is to shed more light on the following questions: What is the role of interaction between meter and rhythm in the process of musical interpretation? What motives lie behind the choices that music students make when interpreting a piece

Background and purpose: Brachytherapy is sometimes suggested as an adjuvant treatment after surgery of some tumours. When introducing this, it would be useful to have an estimate of the dose distribution to different body sites, both near and distant to target, comparing conventional external irradiation to brachytherapy. The aim of the present study was to determine radiation doses with both meth

Introduction: Moral distress arises when healthcare workers face difficult decisions without adequate information and/or when patient care is compromised due to limited resources, communication issues, or altered work routines in exceptional circumstances. While moral distress in maternity and neonatal healthcare workers (MNHCWs) has been noted, its prevalence, intensity, and impact on well-being
