Background: Escalating resistance among Gram-negative pathogens limits β-lactam options. Cefepime/enmetazobactam combines a fourth-generation cephalosporin with a class A β-lactamase inhibitor. We evaluated its activity against multidrug, extensive and pandrug-resistant war-wound isolates from Ukraine.Materials and methods: We tested 215 clinical samples (2022-2023) isolated from wounded patients
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is marked by the abnormal aggregation of amyloid-beta peptides within the central nervous system. The formation of amyloid fibrils from amyloid-beta peptides is a hallmark of AD Here, we demonstrate that the aggregation of amyloid-beta 42 spreads both spatially and temporally. By measuring the spatial propagation of amyloid-beta in macroscopic capillaries and performing Mo
Oily wastewater presents a serious environmental challenge, demanding sustainable and regenerative membrane technologies. Here, we report a green and scalable method for fabricating skin-replaceable cellulose membranes (SRC-M) from jute agro-waste, using a NaOH/urea activation route and argon-pressurized deposition onto ceramic supports. The resulting Cellulose II-based asymmetric membranes exhibi
För otränade öron och ögon är det inte lätt att se vad operasång och attofysik har med varandra att göra. I det här bidraget visar dock Johan Mauritsson och Hedvig Jalhed att det finns påtagliga paralleller. Artikeln är en frukt av ett populärvetenskapligt projekt där artikelförfattarna använder just dessa beröringspunkter för att sprida såväl visdom som skönhet för både öron och ögon.
Aims: Pain and poor health-related quality of life measures serve as the primary indication for primary elective total hip arthroplasty (THA). It remains challenging to predict whether THA delivers the patient-anticipated improvements. Our study aimed to develop and validate statistical and machine learning prediction models of one-year clinical improvement in patient-reported outcome measures (PR
Aims Endotypes integrate individual clinical and molecular data and can be used to formulate molecular subclassifications of diseases. We previously derived four endotypes of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in a large European cohort, c-IMT and c-IMT Progression as Predictors of Vascular Events in a High-Risk European Population (IMPROVE), identifying individuals with a specific cardiovascular
Transcription factor (TF) proteins regulate gene activity by binding to regulatory regions, most importantly at gene promoters. Many genes have alternative promoters (APs) bound by distinct TFs. The role of differential TF activity at APs during tumour development is poorly understood. Here we show, using deep RNA sequencing in 274 biopsies of benign prostate tissue, localized prostate tumours and
Abstrasct Entrepreneurial ecosystems as lenses promoting innovation and entrepreneurship have attracted substantial interest in research. However attention towards the role of sector-specific actors, such as healthcare-related organizations, within entrepreneurial ecosystems remains underexplored. This paper investigates how healthcare-related organizations are conceptualized within entrepreneuria
The impact of variations in the three-dimensional structure of the genome has been recognized, but solid cancer tissue studies are limited. Here, we performed integrated deep Hi-C sequencing with matched whole-genome sequencing, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) sequencing and RNA sequencing across a cohort of 80 biopsy samples from patients with metastatic castrati
In primary Sjögren's disease (pSjD), there is a well-documented increased risk of hematological malignancies, particularly lymphomas, whereas studies examining the incidence of solid tumors have often yielded conflicting results. Data concerning the incidence of breast and gynecological cancers are similarly inconsistent. The aim of this study was to further investigate the incidence of these so-c
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a heterogenous disease, but once it becomes metastatic it eventually becomes treatment resistant. One mechanism of resistance to AR-targeting therapy is lineage plasticity, where the tumor undergoes a transformation to an AR-indifferent phenotype, most studied in the context of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). However, activation of additional de- or trans-diff
Pea albumins are the soluble fraction of pea proteins, recovered as a side stream of the isoelectric precipitation. The time-resolved heat-induced structural transitions of the whole fraction of pea albumin (PA) were studied by evaluating the structure of the two main fractions, PA1 and PA2. Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SR-CD) spectroscopy showed that the secondary structure signature
The androgen receptor (AR) is the central determinant of prostate tissue identity and differentiation, controlling normal, growth-suppressive prostate-specific gene expression 1 . It is also a key driver of prostate tumorigenesis, becoming "hijacked" to drive oncogenic transcription 2-5 . However, the regulatory elements determining the execution of the growth suppressive AR transcriptional progra
We have generated two reporter plasmids that either monitor expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E2 mRNAs using splice site SA2709 or HPV16 E1C mRNAs utilizing splice site SA2582. In plasmid pE2sLuc, the entire E2 open reading frame was replaced by the secreted luciferase (sLuc) reporter gene and in the pE1nLuc plasmid the E1/E1C open reading frame was fused in frame with the nanoluc
