Aims: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a slowly progressive disease, often transmitted among people who inject drugs (PWID). Mortality in PWID is high, with an overrepresentation of drug-related causes. This study investigated the risk of death in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with or without illicit substance use disorder (ISUD). Methods: Patients with HCV were identified usin
Background: Following surgical repair of aortic coarctation (CoA) there is a risk for restenosis (reCoA), particularly in the first year of life. It was the aim of this study to identify reCoA risk factors by analyzing postoperative pre-discharge echocardiograms. Methods: Retrospective analysis of echocardiograms of children born operated for CoA in Sweden 2011-2017. Results: 253 children were incBackground Following surgical repair of aortic coarctation (CoA) there is a risk for restenosis (reCoA), particularly in the first year of life.

In the light of increasing urban challenges, municipalities are developing and advancing new forms of governing. One such example is ‘urban experimentation’, a process where city-based innovation processes are initiated to test solutions that – if deemed successful – are intended to be scaled up with the ambition to leverage a broader urban sustainability transition. Research on experimental gover
Radiative lifetimes of two levels in Ce I, eight levels in Ce rr, and nine levels in Ce III have been measured using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique. Free cerium atoms and singly and doubly ionized ions were obtained in a laser-produced plasma. A narrow bandwidth UV laser pulse was employed to selectively populate the short-lived upper levels and the lifetime values were eva
Public squares are everyday life-spaces, essential for supporting social interaction and thereby contributing to individuals’ wellbeing and quality of life. The provision of safe, accessible, and inclusive public squares is an imperative for sustainable urban development of cities and communities.After dark, electric lighting is necessary for sustaining activities, including social interaction, inPublic squares are everyday life-spaces, essential for supporting social interaction and thereby contributing to individuals’ wellbeing and quality of life.

BACKGROUND: This systematic review aims to determine the loads of anti-A and anti-B in plasma-containing blood products that can safely be transfused to adults.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, including studies dating back to 1940 until January 1 st, 2023. In total 1,869 articles were screened, describing 86 cases of hemolytic transfusion reactions
Major databases on western clothing and their thermal properties are available, but information on non-western clothing is lacking. A recent ASHRAE project 1504 TRP, Extension of the Clothing Insulation Database for Standard 55 and ISO 7730 dealt with the issue. Simultaneously, a co-operation study at Indian workplaces allowed us to acquire some sets of the traditional clothes used at construction
Introduction Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital malformation of the bladder and is believed to be a complex disorder with genetic and environmental background. We describe a young adult female with an isolated bladder exstrophy and with an X chromosome aberration. Patients and Methods Karyotyping identified an X chromosome rearrangement that was further characterized with array comparative gen
The design thinking concept emphasizes the actual activity of solving problems with a design approach, associating it to the designer's knowledge and competence instead of the intimate link between design and the physical object. Yet design consultancies still have problems charging for intangible components in their offerings and for the role of strategic consultants. We argue that the design thi
This contribution outlines an XML format for representation of differential-algebraic equations (DAE) models obtained from continuous time Modelica models and possibly also from other equation-based modeling languages. The purpose is to offer a standardized model exchange format which is based on the DAE formalism and which is neutral with respect to model usage. Many usages of models go beyond wh
Since some years ago greenhouse gases and especially carbon dioxide have become one of the most widely debated issues. To reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and nuclear waste, renewable energy sources as for example wind power plants have become very successful. These generation units are normally small compared to common thermal power plants and they are often placed distributed and connected
Paper presented at Swedish Anthropological Association Annual Meeting, Lund, April 2015, panel on Business ethics. Abstract: Under the influence of U.S. government regulations, new anti-bribery laws and embarrassing corruption scandals, major global corporations have realized that unethical conduct may affect their reputations and ultimately, their profits. This development has given rise to a new
The demographic development suggests a dramatic growth in the number of elderly patients undergoing surgery in Europe. Most red blood cell transfusions (RBCT) are administered to older people, but little is known about perioperative transfusion practices in this population. In this secondary analysis of the prospective observational multicentre European Transfusion Practice and Outcome Study (ETPO
Aims To explore the prevalence and incidence of paediatric implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients in Sweden and identify risk factors associated with appropriate shocks and adverse events. Methods and results We performed a nationwide, retrospective cohort study of ICD use in paediatric patients (<19 years) between 1995 and 2017; 120 patients underwent ICD implantation at median age
