In the last years the use of information communication technologies (ICTs) has become a leading driver of OECD national health systems to improve healthcare quality and reduce healthcare costs (Oecd, 2010). In fact, the use of ICTs are a primary lever of OECD countries to enhance the efficiency and the effectiveness of health services delivered to the citizens. This has led the Italian government

The objective of the present work is to, in a single material, combine a number of molecular design strategies that have proven successful in the preparation of high-performance anionexchange membranes (AEMs) for alkaline fuel cells. Hence, we here report on highly conductive and alkali-stable poly(phenylene oxide)s carrying flexible side chains attached via alkyl spacer units, where each side cha

In this study, effects of a dust hole and its location on the flow structure, endwall heat transfer and friction factor in a U bend channel used for a gas turbine blade tip cooling are numerically studied. The dust hole is placed on the endwall of a U bend at different locations. The U bend channel without dust hole is considered as Baseline. The Reynolds number ranges from 50,000 to 440,000. Resu

The Middle Darriwilian Isotopic Carbon Excursion (MDICE) is one of the globally recognized positive excursions in carbon isotope chemostratigraphy, but mainly documented by δ13Ccarb data in previous research. In this paper, new stable organic carbon isotope data (δ13Corg) are presented from the Hule-1 core from the southern Anhui Province of southern China. The core constitutes an Ordovician silic

The rapid progression of the electrification of road transport in many countries urges the need to make informed decisions on the location and size of the required charging infrastructure. This paper’s main contribution is a novel method to position fast-charging stations based on the transportation energy demand and to evaluate the performance of such charging infrastructure. Depending on their r

BackgroundThere is a need for the development of accurate, accessible and efficient screening instruments, focused on early-stage detection of neurocognitive disorders. The Geras Solutions cognitive test (GSCT) has showed potential as a digital screening tool for cognitive impairment but normative data are needed.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to obtain normative data for the GSCT in cognitive

Magnetic fields play a key role in driving a broad range of dynamic phenomena in the atmospheres of the Sun and other stars. Routine and accurate measurements of the magnetic fields at all the atmospheric layers are of critical importance to understand these magnetic activities, but in the solar and stellar coronae such a measurement is still a challenge due to the weak field strength and the high

Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc), an autosomal recessive disorder, is associated with cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. Previous studies were focused around exploring the functional annotation of VPS13A gene in ChAc, whereas the genetic labyrinth underlying this disease and plausible drug targets were underexplored. In the present study, we have identified the pivotal genes and molecular pathway

We present a method for estimating fossil fuel methane emissions using observations of methane and ethane, accounting for uncertainty in their emission ratio. The ethane:methane emission ratio is incorporated as a spatially and temporally variable parameter in a Bayesian model, with its own prior distribution and uncertainty. We find that using an emission ratio distribution mitigates bias from us

BackgroundWe aimed to fill the gaps of knowledge concerning incidence rates and temporal trend, clinical features and risk factors for death for M. morganii bloodstream infections in south Sweden.MethodsThis was an observational, population-based study including all patients with at least one blood culture positive for Morganella morganii between 2013-2023 in Skåne, south Sweden.ResultsA total of

Poor preoperative sleep quality and impaired sleep continuity may heighten acute postoperative pain intensity and increase analgesic consumption, with negative implications for recovery, mental and physical health. The main objective of the current review was to investigate the relationship between preoperative sleep disturbance and acute postoperative pain control. Four electronic databases were

Shocked zircon from impactites from the Mien impact structure, Sweden, has been investigated with the aim to date the impact event and correlate the degree of U–Pb age resetting with shock-related microtextures. In situ U–Pb spot isotope analyses of granular and microporous–granular zircon grains from the impact melt rocks give an age of 120.0 ± 1.0 Ma. This essentially confirms the previous best

Aim: Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is the dominating surgical emergency in preterm neonates. The aims were to investigate indications, surgical management and mortality for surgically treated neonates with NEC. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register for Swedish neonates with surgically treated NEC from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2021. Diagnosis was validated b

Anterior Uveitis (AU) is the inflammation of the anterior part of the eye, the iris and ciliary body and is strongly associated with HLA-B*27. We report AU exome sequencing results from eight independent cohorts consisting of 3,850 cases and 916,549 controls. We identify common genome-wide significant loci in HLA-B (OR = 3.37, p = 1.03e-196) and ERAP1 (OR = 0.86, p = 1.1e-08), and find IPMK (OR =

Background: People with late effects of polio (LEoP) may need rehabilitation to manage everyday life but knowledge of the benefits of interdisciplinary rehabilitation is limited.Objective: To evaluate changes in performance and satisfaction with performance of activities among people with LEoP following interdisciplinary rehabilitation.Methods: A pre-post retrospective study based on data on 102 p
