Background: In Europe, approximately 291,000 cardiac arrests occur annually. Despite critical care therapy, hospital mortality remains high. This systematic review assessed whether, in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, any drug therapy, compared to placebo or usual care, improves outcomes. Methods: We searched Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and The Interna

This chapter examines what teacher training has taught us through numerous studies and collaborations on how space can be used to develop a unique culture with students. The principle concept here is that classroom and education design has evolved. The pandemic has spotlighted the physical and virtual spaces we use while learning desired qualities of collaboration, communication, critical thinking

Type 2 diabetes is associated with cardiovascular disease, possibly due to impaired vascular fibrous repair. Yet, the mechanisms are elusive. Here, we investigate alterations in the fibrous repair processes in type 2 diabetes atherosclerotic plaque extracellular matrix by combining multi-omics from the human Carotid Plaque Imaging Project cohort and functional studies. Plaques from type 2 diabetes

Aim: Assess effects on waist circumference from diet with or without cereal grains and with or without long-term physical exercise. Background: Elevated waist circumference is an indicator of increased abdominal fat storage and is accordingly associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. This is likely due to the association between lifestyle-induced changes in waist circumference and cardio

The central hallmark of Parkinson's disease pathology is the aggregation of the α-synuclein protein, which, in its healthy form, is associated with lipid membranes. Purified monomeric α-synuclein is relatively stable in vitro, but its aggregation can be triggered by the presence of lipid vesicles. Despite this central importance of lipids in the context of α-synuclein aggregation, their detailed m

Artikeln beskriver en metod för hur musikaliskt biografiskt skrivande kan användas i musiklärarutbildningen. Musiklärarstudenter vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö ställs i början av sina studier inför uppgiften att välja ut fem musikstycken som hittills varit av särskild betydelse i deras liv. Utifrån teorierna om symbolisk interaktionism och biografiskt lärande uppmuntras studenterna att skriva om sina

Lund University (Sweden) teacher education students' reflections constitute the foundation for this chapter. The students wrote about their situation, what they could learn from it and how they could bring these lessons into their future roles. The students' voices on digitalisation and isolation in their learning experiences illustrate the importance of belonging and motivation in education. The

Multiple myeloma is a heterogeneous hematological disease that originates from the bone marrow and is characterized by the monoclonal expansion of malignant plasma cells. Despite novel therapies, multiple myeloma remains clinically challenging. A common feature among patients with poor prognosis is the increased activity of the epigenetic silencer EZH2, which is the catalytic subunit of the PRC2.

BACKGROUND: An increasing number of monogenic conditions underlying stroke are being identified. We explored the possibilities of increasing the diagnostic yield of monogenic stroke in a population under 56 years of age. METHODS: Fifty probands ≤55 years at their first stroke episode were characterized clinically and investigated by whole genome sequencing. Probands had one or more of: (1) one or

The proof of the pudding lies in eating, and that is why 6G testbeds are essential in the progress toward the next generation of wireless networks. Theoretical research toward 6G wireless networks proposes advanced technologies to serve new applications and drastically improve energy performance. Testbeds are indispensable to validate these new technologies under more realistic conditions. This ar

Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Enhancement through the Power of Big Data in Europe (PIONEER) is a European network of excellence for big data in prostate cancer. PIONEER brings together 34 private and public stakeholders from 9 countries in one multidisciplinary research consortium with the aim of positively transforming the field of prostate cancer clinical care by answering pressing que

Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is part of the calcitonin peptide family, which includes calcitonin (CT), amylin (AMY), and adrenomedullin (ADM). CGRP and its receptor are highly present in the trigeminovascular system (TVS). Recent research suggests that other members of the calcitonin family could be feasible therapeutic targets in the treatment of migraine. The present study

Cities and local governments are increasingly under pressure to accelerate transformative change in energy and climate transitions. To help cities in their climate actions, the European Commission (EC) has established the EU Cities Mission, which aims for climate neutrality by 2030 for participating cities. The literature argues that one of the main obstacles to accelerating decarbonization lies i

Aim: This position paper focuses on healthy ageing for the frailest and institutionalized older adults in the context of the recent pandemic. The paper aims to identify and discuss hindering and promoting factors for healthy ageing in this context, taking both health safety and a meaningful social life into account, in a pandemic situation and beyond. Background: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has h

In Sweden's upper secondary school aesthetic program, educators face significant opportunities and challenges in teaching students who utilize Electronical Digital Instruments (EDI) as their primary instrument. Since 2017, students have leveraged EDI, employing computers, user-configured software, and performance controllers to play and create music. This transformative approach challenges traditi

Context. Stellar tidal streams are a key tracer of galaxy evolution and have the potential to provide an indirect means for tracing dark matter. For the Local Group, many diffuse substructures have been identified and their link to galaxy evolution has been traced. However, the Local Group does not offer a statistically significant sample of stellar tidal streams. Thus, an analysis of a larger sam

Results from a wide range of searches targeting different experimental signatures with and without missing transverse momentum (ETmiss) are used to constrain a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) with an additional pseudo-scalar mediating the interaction between ordinary and dark matter (2HDM+a). The analyses use up to 139 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy s=13 TeV recorde
