Objectives Ipsilateral recurrence is a relevant outcome measure after kidney-sparing surgery (KSS) for urothelial upper tract carcinoma (UTUC). However, studies comparing ipsilateral recurrence after segmental ureterectomy (SU) and endourological treatment (ET) are lacking. This study aimed to quantitatively assess ipsilateral recurrence in ET and SU for UTUC to inform patient counselling and futu

Background:Mental health disorders represent a growing global challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where women are disproportionately affected by social and structural inequalities. Although women’s empowerment has been increasingly recognized as a strategy to improve physical health, its relationship with mental health remains less well understood.Objective:This study exam

Introduction: External aortic compression is used to reduce excessive blood loss in childbirth. However, it has never been evaluated for the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage. This study aims to investigate whether routine external aortic compression, in patients undergoing elective caesarean delivery, is an effective and acceptable preventive method to reduce severe postpartum haemorrhage. Met

Preterm birth continues to affect 5 to 12% of all live births in Europe and remains a leading cause of neonatal mortality and short- and long-term morbidity. Despite decades of research and clinical innovation, the overall burden has not substantially declined, and in several European settings rates are rising. This paper is a European Association of Perinatal Medicine (EAPM) Good Practice Recomme

The long-term aging of metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals is usually associated with uncontrolled degradation or transformation into unwanted phases. In contrast with this expected behavior, we report the spontaneous evolution of A3Cd2Cl7 (A = Cs, Rb) Ruddlesden–Popper nanoplatelets into crystalline multilayered stacks during prolonged storage in nonpolar solvents. This thermodynamically driven

We present a model of how an individual’s preference for a specific behaviour canevolve as an adaptation to her social environment. Our key assumptions are that thedecision maker (DM) (i) is boundedly rational in her ability to process information andevaluate which actions yield the highest payoff and (ii) can develop a subjective prefer-ence for actions. A stronger preference for an action reduce

revisit the US stock market during COVID-19 and investigate the effect ofnews sentiment and the pandemic on herding behavior in an extended, dynamic,version of the model introduced in Chang et al. (2000). This extension is motivatedboth econometrically and theoretically and the results indicate that treating herdingas a dynamic phenomena may reveal insights into the mechanisms driving thisbehavio

This paper identifies monetary policy shocks for Sweden. Based on the written language indocuments prepared by staff ahead of Riksbank policy meetings, I construct text-based regressors that are shown to systematically predict shocks identified with standard methods such asthe Romer and Romer (2004) Greenbook approach and high-frequency identification. Defin-ing text-based monetary policy shocks a

This entry provides an analytical account of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), examining its emergence from the failure to realise universal human rights for persons with disabilities and the participation of organisations of persons with disabilities in its negotiation. It examines the Convention’s origins, the breadth and structure of its rights, its understanding

Acquiring and exploiting memories of rewarding experiences is critical for survival. The spatial environment in which a rewarding stimulus is encountered regulates memory retrieval. The ventral hippocampus (vH) has been implicated in contextual memories involving rewarding stimuli such as food, social cues or drugs. Yet, the neuronal representations and circuits underlying contextual memories of s

Anxiety plays a key role in guiding behavior in response to potential threats. Anxiety is mediated by the activation of pyramidal neurons in the ventral hippocampus (vH), whose activity is controlled by GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. However, how different vH interneurons might contribute to anxiety-related processes is unclear. Here, we investigate the role of vH parvalbumin (PV)-express

Spontaneous neuronal activity and concomitant intracellular Ca2+ signaling are abundant during early perinatal development and are well known for their key role in neuronal proliferation, migration, differentiation and wiring. However, much less is known about the in vivo patterns of spontaneous Ca2+ signaling in immature adult-born cells. Here, by using two-photon Ca2+ imaging, we analyzed sp

Ur förordet:Designen på vardagsnära produkter spelar en viktig roll för att underlätta energi- och resursbesparande beteende. Denna rapport är baserad på projektet ”Standardalternativ som potentiellt verktyg för att främja energieffektivt beteende”. Projektet syftar till fördjupad förståelsen för hur standardalternativ påverkar användare och hushållens energianvändning genom designen. Resultaten g

Salmonella enterica can persist asymptomatically within tissues for extended periods. This is achieved through intricate host–pathogen interactions in immune cell aggregates called granulomas, wherein Salmonella establish favourable cellular niches to exploit while the host limits its expansion and tissue dissemination. Here, using a mouse model of persistent Salmonella infection, we identify a ho
