2021 ISHNE/ HRS/ EHRA/ APHRS collaborative statement on mHealth in Arrhythmia Management : Digital Medical Tools for Heart Rhythm Professionals: From the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology/Heart Rhythm Society/European Heart Rhythm Association/Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society

This collaborative statement from the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology/ Heart Rhythm Society/ European Heart Rhythm Association/ Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society describes the current status of mobile health ("mHealth") technologies in arrhythmia management. The range of digital medical tools and heart rhythm disorders that they may be applied to and clinical dec

Imaging Markers of Brain Frailty and Outcome in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional outcome after stroke may be related to preexisting brain health. Several imaging markers of brain frailty have been described including brain atrophy and markers of small vessel disease. We investigated the association of these imaging markers with functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke. METHODS: We retrospectively studied patients with acute ischemic str

Heparin fragments induce cervical inflammation by recruiting immune cells through Toll-like receptor 4 in nonpregnant mice

Inflammation is a hallmark in the human cervix remodelling. A possible candidate inducing the inflammatory driven ripening of the cervix is the matrix component heparan sulphate, which has been shown to be elevated in late pregnancy in the cervix and uterus. Heparin and a glycol-split low molecular weight heparin (gsHep) with low anticoagulant potency has been shown to enhance myometrial contracti

Transverse momentum dependent forward neutron single spin asymmetries in transversely polarized p+p collisions at s =200 GeV

In 2015, the PHENIX collaboration has measured very forward (η>6.8) single spin asymmetries of inclusive neutrons in transversely polarized proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV. A previous publication from this dataset concentrated on the nuclear dependence of such asymmetries. In this measurement the explicit transverse momentum dependence of inclusive

Peptidoglycan-Binding Anchor Is a Pseudomonas aeruginosa OmpA Family Lipoprotein With Importance for Outer Membrane Vesicles, Biofilms, and the Periplasmic Shape

The outer membrane protein A (OmpA) family contains an evolutionary conserved domain that links the outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria to the semi-rigid peptidoglycan (PG) layer. The clinically significant pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa carries several OmpA family proteins (OprF, OprL, PA0833, and PA1048) that share the PG-binding domain. These proteins are important for cell morphology, me

Radiographers' involvement in research activities and opinions on radiography research : A Nordic survey

INTRODUCTION: Radiographers' engagement in research is important for the development of evidence-based practice in radiography; however, radiographers' interest in research has rarely been reported. This study sought to ascertain radiographers' opinions about radiography research and investigate their involvement in research activities in four Nordic countries.METHODS: This study was conducted in

Wing damage affects flight kinematics but not flower tracking performance in hummingbird hawkmoths

Wing integrity is crucial to the many insect species that spend distinct portions of their life in flight. How insects cope with the consequences of wing damage is therefore a central question when studying how robust flight performance is possible with such fragile chitinous wings. It has been shown in a variety of insect species that the loss in lift-force production resulting from wing damage i

Luftföroreningshalter på förskolegårdar

På uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket har avdelningen för Arbets- och miljömedicin vid Lunds Universitet utfört studie kring luftföroreningssituationen på förskolegårdar.Denna studie består av tre delar vara av en är en kunskapsinventering bland landets kommuner kring luftkvalitén på förskolebarns utemiljöer och effekter/strategier för att eventuellt förbättra detta. (sedan tidigare publicerad i denna ra

Erytrocyttransfusion till kritiskt sjuka kan vara farligare än anemi

Anemia is common in critically ill patients. Some patients benefit from erythrocyte transfusion, but transfusions are also associated with complications. Randomized controlled trials in critically ill patients have demonstrated that a restrictive transfusion strategy seems safe. This review is an overview of some of the largest studies of erythrocyte transfusions in intensive care.

A longitudinal investigation of cognitive functioning and its relationship to symptom severity and academic functioning in treatment seeking youth with ADHD.

BackgroundChildren with ADHD tend to present with poorer cognitive functioning leaving them more vulnerable to a range of negative outcomes. To date, only a handful of longitudinal studies have examined the stability of Wechsler composite scores in children and adolescents with ADHD, and none of them used a more recent version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children (WISC), than the WISC-

"Det hade ju aldrig hänt annars" : Om kvinnor, klass och droger

Olika typer av sinnesförändrande substanser har blivit allt fler och vanligare under de senaste 500 åren, och användningen i nutidens konsumtionskulturer fortsätter att öka. Den illegala droganvändningen i Sverige ligger på historiskt höga nivåer. Vissa lagliga preparat, såsom kaffe och alkohol, syns överallt medan läkemedel och illegala droger vanligtvis hålls dolda. Denna etnologiska avhandling

Levetiracetam and N-Cadherin Antibody Alleviate Brain Pathology Without Reducing Early Epilepsy Development After Focal Non-convulsive Status Epilepticus in Rats

Focal non-convulsive status epilepticus (fNCSE) is a neurological condition characterized by a prolonged seizure that may lead to the development of epilepsy. Emerging experimental evidence implicates neuronal death, microglial activation and alterations in the excitatory and inhibitory synaptic balance as key features in the pathophysiology following fNCSE. We have previously reported alterations

The Hcci Combustion Process in a Single Cycle-High-Speed Fuel Tracer Lif and Chemiluminescence Imaging

The Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion progress has been characterized by means of high- speed fuel tracer Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) combined with simultaneous chemiluminescence imaging. Imaging has been conducted using a high-speed laser and detector system. The system can acquire a sequence of eight images within less than one crank angle. The engine was run

Poorly Expressed Alleles of Several Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Genes are Common in the Human Population

Extensive diversity has been identified in the human heavy chain immunoglobulin locus, including allelic variation, gene duplication, and insertion/deletion events. Several genes have been suggested to be deleted in many haplotypes. Such findings have commonly been based on inference of the germline repertoire from data sets covering antibody heavy chain encoding transcripts. The inference process

Cell-Free DNA Promotes Thrombin Autolysis and Generation of Thrombin-Derived C-Terminal Fragments

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is the major structural component of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), an innate immune response to infection. Antimicrobial proteins and peptides bound to cfDNA play a critical role in the bactericidal property of NETs. Recent studies have shown that NETs have procoagulant activity, wherein cfDNA triggers thrombin generation through activation of the intrinsic pathway o
