Among the many approaches to improve the performance of lithium-metal batteries, ternary polyethylene oxide/ionic liquid/lithium salt electrolytes offer several advantages such as low flammability, high conductivity (vs. polyethylene oxide/lithium salt electrolytes) and, to a large extent, limiting the growth of dendrites at moderate currents. However, they suffer from relatively low mechani

Hydrochlorothiazide has been associated with increased cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma risk. Meanwhile, its association with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) risk is controversial. The association between commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications and BCC risk in the Swedish population was investigated. All cases with a histopathologically verified BCC in Sweden during 2007–2017 and 2 matched co

Background: Pain in children is undertreated. An assessment scale co-designed with children, parents, and health care professionals could lead to more effective pain assessments and treatment strategies aimed at reducing pain and pain-related symptoms. There are analogue scales validated for self-report of pain in children, but today, children regularly use digital technology, which healthcare sho

Introduction: Amyloid- and tau-positron emission tomography (PET) are promising modalities for detecting pathological changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, their application is limited. Although the use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers as alternatives to amyloid-PET and tau-PET has been explored, no in vitro diagnostic-approved or commercial CSF biomarker assays are cur

Currently, the European Union (EU) is the “green leader”, globally, in adopting policies to support longer product lifetimes. One reason for this state of affairs is that EU Member States are adopting progressive policies, which put pressure on the EU to set EU-wide laws to replace national ones. The main reason for this situation is that national rules may lead to distortions in trade in the EU S

Context. Strongly lensed quasars are fundamental sources for cosmology. The Gaia space mission covers the entire sky with the unprecedented resolution of 0.18âà € ³ in the optical, making it an ideal instrument to search for gravitational lenses down to the limiting magnitude of 21. Nevertheless, the previous Gaia Data Releases are known to be incomplete for small angular separations such as thos

Improving accuracy and timeliness for osteoporosis diagnosis could help prevent fragility fractures, morbidity, and mortality for older individuals. Osteoporosis is an often silent health condition, especially as regards vertebral fractures, and WHO issued a call to action for primary care to lead efforts in screening, assessing, and managing diseases such as osteoporosis. We used a machine learni

whiH is one of several known loci specifically needed for the orderly multiple sporulation septation of aerial hyphae of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and for the expression of at least some late sporulation genes. DNA complementing whiH mutants was located immediately upstream of hrdB, which encodes the principal σ factor of S. coelicolor. Sequencing revealed a gene whose disruption gave rise to

This article analyses how a newly established set of actors – online brokerage firms (OBFs) – sought to popularise stock trading among the Swedish populace in the late 1990s. During this period, internet usage took off and stock markets surged rapidly up until the dotcom bubble burst in 2000. Sweden was at the forefront of both these international developments, and we analyse the intimate connecti

Based on a combination of morphometric analyses, a chloroplast DNA phylogeny, and multivariate analyses of whole genome sequence data from >300 museum samples, we discuss and evaluate the delimitation, taxonomy, and evolution of wild and escaped taxa in Mentha subgen. Mentha, focusing on the northern hemisphere. Thirteen species (Mentha aquatica, M. arvensis, M. australis, M. capensis, M. dahurica

Obesity represents a global health challenge, with a critical and urgent need for long-term, sustainable management strategies. Tirzepatide is a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. At first approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, tirzepatide represents one of the latest clinically approved and commercia

Stormwater management is essential for preventing urban flooding and protecting water quality in receiving bodies. Traditionally viewed as a nuisance, stormwater is now being re-evaluated as an alternative resource for non-potable uses such as toilet flushing and irrigation through rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS). Within the European Union's Horizon 2020 project REWAISE, pilot studies with cer

Galactoglucomannan (GGM) has been identified as a valuable resource and can be used in fields such as oxygen barrier films, food coatings or hydrogels. This hemicellulose can be extracted from softwood using steam explosion (STEX) under mild conditions. However, the GGM-solution also contains impurities such as lignin, lignin-carbohydrate complexes, organic acids, and salts, which require further

Alternative food initiatives are vital for transforming food systems towards sustainability by challenging, replacing, and complementing the status quo. Understanding how these initiatives contribute to transformation requires attention not only to their intended outcomes but also to the processes through which these outcomes contribute to broader social change. Existing assessment frameworks rare

Abstract: Background: Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) inducing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) with multiple organ involvement is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The treatment has mostly been focused on kidney, respiratory and cardiovascular supports and not against the bacteria that cause STEC-HUS.

Although groundwater serves as the predominant source of drinking water across many rural regions and certain urban areas of Rwanda, little is known about this resource. Anthropogenic impacts, such as faecal contamination, as well as geogenic water quality problems, including elevated arsenic, fluoride, iron, and manganese, are among the issues of concern for groundwater quality in Rwanda.
