Scope: This European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases guideline provides evidence-based recommendations to support a selection of appropriate antibiotic use practices for patients seen in the emergency department (ED) and guidance for their implementation. The topics addressed in this guideline are (a) Do biomarkers or rapid pathogen tests improve antibiotic prescribing and

International consensus supports the development of standardized protocols for measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) to facilitate the integration of mGFR testing in both clinical and research settings. To this end, the European Kidney Function Consortium convened an international group of experts with relevant experience in mGFR. The working group performed an extensive literature search to

In this paper, I discuss resistance against antisemitism in relation to the overall antiracist struggle. Inspired by postcolonial theory and critical race studies, and by locating notions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, I show that antisemitism can be understood as a form of structural racism entangled with other racisms.

Ur ett forskarperspektiv förankrat i en bred tradition av kritisk teori framstår det inte som eftersträvansvärt att hitta ”rätt” definition av antisemitism. Precis som vi inte har några en gång för alla fastslagna definitioner av rasism, homofobi, sexism eller något annat måste vi förstå även antisemitismen som ett socialt och historiskt fenomen som ständigt befinner sig i rörelse och under omförh

This report or “Catalogue of lessons" is an outcome of the FORMAS financed project Fishing for solutions: from research to practical experiments for setting common goals for rural coastal development in Sweden (FORMAS 2019-00202). The project was financed by the call From research to practice – methods and tools, FR-2019/0004. This “Catalogue of Lessons” discusses experiences, methods and procedur

Panel for Pollen Conference in Lund 2024Exploring transitions for marine environmental governance: the potential of communities and bottom-up processes as alternative pathways to sustainabilityFacilitating the potential of communities and bottom-up governance for transitions to sustainability (T2S) sparks key questions of political ecology. Marine environmental governance exposes such challenges r

How to include knowledge and actors from local and regional levels like small-scale fishers and their communities in overarching governance frameworks? This is a pertinent question for ongoing Blue Economy processes, as highlighted e.g., in the Manifesto from the 2021 MARE conference. In an ongoing “from research to practice” project, we investigate how to include local and regional perspectives a

Background:Several previous studies have analyzed patient experiences of long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) in treating opioid use disorder (OUD). This treatment approach reduces the need for daily supervised clinic visits, but also fundamentally changes the dynamic of the relationship between patients and staff. The perspective of staff working with opioid agonist treatment (OAT) on LAIB

BACKGROUND: European guidelines recommend the use of a 0h/1h hs-cTn (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin) protocol in patients with acute chest pain. We aimed to determine the performance of this protocol in routine care when supplemented with patient history and ECG and a recommendation to refrain from noninvasive testing in low-risk patients.METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a pre- and postimplementat

To investigate multimodal signals in cat–human communication we recorded 36 cat–owner interactions in everyday situations that were judged by the owners for valence (negative, mixed or positive). We then coded the videos for behaviour using an ethogram including vocal, visual and tactile (multimodal) signals. Vocalisations were segmented and acoustic measures of duration and F0 obtained. In cats,

Plasma proteomics offers high potential for biomarker discovery, as plasma is collected through a minimally invasive procedure and constitutes the most complex human-derived proteome. However, the wide dynamic range poses a significant challenge. Here, we propose a semi-automated method based on the use of multiple single chain variable fragment antibodies, each enriching for peptides found in up

This thesis addresses the critical issue of design and development of products like production machines for SMEs and rural communities as an essential capability to foster local technology development within the innovation systems of Latin America. What is studied and discussed in this thesis is the pre-requisites for effective application of design and development methods, like design thinking fo
