Objective: To investigate the prevalence of lymph nodes and lymph node metastases (LNMs) in the upper paracervical lymphovascular tissue (UPLT) in early stage cervical cancer. Methods: In this prospective study consecutive women with stage IA1-IB1 cervical cancer underwent a pelvic lymphadenectomy including identification of sentinel nodes (SLNs) as part of a nodal staging procedure in conjunction

The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had an unprecedented impact leading to novel adaptations in post-graduate medical education for cardiovascular and general internal medicine. Whilst the results of initial community COVID-19 vaccination are awaited, continuation of multimodality teaching and training that incorporates telelearning will have enduring benefit to post-graduate educ

Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities for objective quantitative measurements of imaging biomarkers from positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). Clinical image reporting relies predominantly on observer-dependent visual assessment and easily accessible measures like SUVmax, representing lesion uptake in a relatively small amount of tissue. Our hypothes

Overweight and obesity in childhood are highly preventable and parents are key role models in the establishment of healthy behaviours. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of family-based interventions for prevention of overweight and obesity in children aged 2–6 years. A systematic literature search was performed in the databases such as Medline, PsycInfo, Family Study Abstracts,

The first European Stroke Organization (ESO) standard operating procedure (SOP) published in 2015 aimed at the implementation the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology to provide evidence-based guidelines for stroke management. This second ESO-SOP is aiming at further increase of the practicability of ESO guidelines and its technical implications. A

Anomaly detection is the process of identifying unexpected data samples in datasets. Automated anomaly detection is either performed using supervised machine learning models, which require a labelled dataset for their calibration, or unsupervised models, which do not require labels. While academic research has produced a vast array of tools and machine learning models for automated anomaly detecti

OBJECTIVES: From a reproductive justice framework, we aimed to investigate how a possible association between hormonal contraceptive (HC) and antidepressants use (as a proxy for depression) is distributed across intersectional strata in the population. We aimed to visualise how intersecting power dynamics may operate in combination with HC use to increase or decrease subsequent use of antidepressa

Concepts are an important element of the way international lawyers think and talk about international law. They materialise as conceptual terms, such as ‘jurisdiction’, ‘self-defence’ and ‘abuse of rights’. To enable a critical evaluation of international law and legal discourse, it is important that single instances of use of such terms be fully understood. This task presupposes a full recognitioConcepts are an important element of the way international lawyers think and talk about international law.

An on-board measurement system has been developed that in real time identifies the probability for occurrence and also the exact location of severe wear in the wheelrail contact. Noise generated by the wheel-rail contact is a troublesome side effect both when railway vehicles negotiate curves and run on straight tracks. The concept behind this project is to use this noise as an indicator of the tr

The wheel-rail system operates in an open environment where the weather condition varies constantly. In this laboratory study, an investigation using a pin-on-disc tribometer placed in a temperature-controlled room was conducted to examine the effect of subzero temperature and snow on friction and wear at the wheel-rail contact. In temperature range from 3 to-15 °C (without snow) friction and wear

AbstractBackground: Non-communicable diseases are the number one killer worldwide and the leading one,cardiovascular disease (CVD), is responsible for more than 30% of all deaths. CVD is a progressive disease whichalso makes it economical, easy and effective to prevent. There are many stages of CVD that ultimately can lead tocoronary atherosclerosis, measurable as coronary artery calcification (CA

Traditional analyses of 1 Cor 14:20–25 have not been able to solve the interpretational problems, especially the crux interpretum of v. 22b. Since the problem is one of argumentation it is natural to seek assistance from a method of argumentation analysis. By making use of the method by Stephen Toulmin, it can be shown that the argument may contain more information than is directly apparent. By re

Gal 3:6–14 är ett av många avsnitt i Paulus brev som är svårt att förstå p.g.a. den komplicerade argumentationen. En argumentationsanalys är därför påkallad för att reda ut argumenten och för att klargöra eventuella implicita premisser. En sådan analys ger oss en bättre uppfattning av Paulus argumentation än en traditionell exeges ensam kan ge. Analysen ger vid handen att Paulus försöker övertyga

Through an argumentation analysis can one show how it is feasible to view a narrative religious text such as the Gospel of Matthew as a literary argument. The Gospel is not just “good news” but an elaborate argument for the standpoint that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah.
