PurposeCancer has a considerable impact on adolescents and young adults (AYAs) as their identity develops. One contentious issue in the literature is what to call people with a cancer history. Here we investigated the following: (1) what identity labels AYAs with and without a cancer history prefer, (2) demographic and psychological factors associated with adopting the ‘survivor’ label, and (3) ho
The acidobasic and complexing properties of 1-methyl-2-mercaptoimidazole (Methimazole, an anti-thyroid drug) were investigated. The pKa 11.49 ± 0.03 was estimated by molecular absorption spectroscopy (I = 0.10 M NaCl, t = 25.0 ± 0.1 °C). This value is in good agreement with the value 11.58 ± 0.05, obtained using the solvent-extraction technique. Theoretical (LFER and quantum chemical calculations)
Oncologists frequently approach patients to discuss difficult topics, such as bad news about cancer progression and referrals to palliative care and hospice. To communicate effectively in these difficult situations, it is helpful to assess what the patient knows and wants to know about their disease in general and, specifically, their prognosis. Although some patients fully accept the diagnosis of
Introduction: Home oxygen therapy is one of the few interventions that can improve survival in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) when administered appropriately, although it may cause side effects and be an unnecessary burden for some patients. Areas covered: This narrative review summarizes the current literature on the assessment of hypoxemia, different types of home oxy
Over recent decades, management of people with hemophilia (PwH) has been greatly improved by scientific advances that have resulted in a rich and varied therapeutic landscape. Nevertheless, treatment limitations continue to drive innovation, and emerging options have the potential to realize further improvement. We advocate four general principles to optimize benefits from innovation: individualiz
The Swedish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (SCND) fought the military’s plans to acquire Swedish nuclear weapons and protested the nuclear arms race, 1961–1967. This article presents SCND’s ideological orientation by focusing on temporalities. SCND saw the Second World War as a decisive event and tried to avert a crisis and a dystopia by manifesting remembrance of past nuclear detonations, and b
OBJECTIVES: Analysis of the long-term risks of ischaemic stroke and cerebral bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation after mitral valve surgery and concomitant Cox-maze IV procedure. METHODS: In total, 397 patients with symptomatic degenerative mitral valve insuffciency and atrial fibrillation, underwent mitral valve surgery and Cox-maze IV in Sweden between 2009 and 2017. In this retrospect
Glucuronic acid (GlcA) is an abundant substituent in hardwood xylan, and it is often found in its methylated form as methyl glucuronic acid (MeGlcA). GlcA and MeGlcA are sugar acids, bound to the xylose backbone at position O-2, and their presence can affect the digestibility of the polymer. Currently, detection of released GlcA or MeGlcA from synthetic substrates such as pNP-glucuronic acid can b
The manual execution of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is time-consuming and error-prone. This article presents an approach in which large language models (LLMs) are integrated into FMEA. LLMs improve and accelerate FMEA with human in the loop. The discussion looks at software tools for FMEA and emphasizes that the tools must be tailored to the needs of the company. Our framework combine
How do we know, theorize, and teach the possibilities of peace in the Global South? For most of Eurocentric literature on the topic, peace in the Global South seems like an impossible utopia. Building on Freire’s pedagogy, I argue for a decolonial approach to peace studies centered on the agency of Global South peoples and their power to transform the world. This means that the construction of kno
INTRODUCTION: Development of asthma and allergies in childhood/adolescence commonly follows a sequential progression termed the 'atopic march'. Recent reports indicate, however, that these diseases are composed of multiple distinct phenotypes, with possibly differential trajectories. We aim to synthesise the current literature in the field of machine learning-based trajectory studies of asthma/all
The diagnosis of lymphoma relies mainly on clinical examination and laboratory explorations. Among the latter, morphological and immunohistochemical analysis of a tissue biopsy are the cornerstones for proper identification and classification of the disease. In lymphoma with blood and/or bone marrow involvement, multiparameter flow cytometry is useful. This technique can also be applied to fresh c
Direct laser writing (DLW) has arise interest in a variety of fields due to the capabilities that we get from the realization of 2D and 3D structures with high resolution fabrication techniques. Multi-photon lithography (MPL) relies on non-linear absorption effects, making possible the fabrication of metasurfaces with feature size beyond the diffraction limit. A new approach in this direction is t
Rare earth elements (lanthanides) are critical materials for many applications, particularly those involved in new energy. Extracting these elements economically from low-concentration sources may be challenging. This study investigates the interaction of Ce and Gd with microalgae that have been triggered to form phosphate-rich granules. Lanthanides usually occur in nature as phosphates, and there
Background: Many children who have overweight or obesity before puberty can develop obesity in early adulthood, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The preschool years (ages 0-5) represents a point of opportunity for children to be active, develop healthy eating habits, and maintain healthy growth. Surveillance of childhood overweight and obesity in this age group can help

Medical education seemingly immune to discussions of gender. Study indicates gender perspective in teaching is lacking Maria Norstedt, Karen Davies Läkartidningen 2003:100;2056-62 This article builds upon qualitative interviews with teachers and students in the medical education at Lund university. The results found that a gender perspective is understood primarily in terms of the biological body.
