Colophonium-related Allergic Contact Dermatitis Caused by Medical Adhesive Tape Used to Prevent Skin Lesions in Soldiers

Medical adhesive tapes are commonly recommended for the prevention of friction blisters during hiking and military marches. The aim of this paper is to report on the results of investigations into an outbreak of taperelated foot dermatitis in 26 military conscripts following continuous use of medical adhesive tapes for several days during a field exercise. Patch tests were performed using baseline

A 1.4 GS/s TI Pipelined-SAR analog-to-digital converter in 22-nm FDSOI CMOS

This paper presents a 4-channel time-interleaved (TI) analog-to-digital converter (ADC), where each channel is comprised of a two-stage pipelined asynchronous successive-approximation (ASAR) sub-ADC. The ADC employs two samplers to alleviate the problem of timing skew on the sub-sampler when distributing the clock to the TI channels. To further increase the speed of the ADC, the reset switch in th

Effects of a neuromuscular joint‑protective exercise therapy program for treatment of wrist osteoarthritis : a randomized controlled trial

BackgroundIndividuals with wrist osteoarthritis (OA) can suffer from pain, muscular weakness, and impaired motion of the wrist, which can reduce the quality of life. While there is strong evidence that all patients with OA should receive first-line treatment with education and exercises, this approach has not yet been proposed for individuals with wrist OA. Therefore, this trial aimed to evaluate

Inverse association between Paleolithic Diet Fraction and mortality and incidence of cardiometabolic disease in the prospective Malmö Diet and Cancer Study

Purpose: Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF) estimates how large a portion of the absolute dietary intake stems from food groups included in the Paleolithic diet. In randomized controlled trials higher PDFs have been associated with healthier levels of cardiometabolic risk markers. Our aim was to build upon these findings by examining associations between PDF and mortality and incidence of cardiometab

Ultrafast Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI of the Breast : From Theory to Practice

The development of ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced (UF-DCE) MRI has occurred in tandem with fast MRI scan techniques, particularly view-sharing and compressed sensing. Understanding the strengths of each technique and optimizing the relevant parameters are essential to their implementation. UF-DCE MRI has now shifted from research protocols to becoming a part of clinical scan protocols for bre

General dental practitioners' fees for root canal treatment, coronal restoration and follow-on treatment in the adult population in Sweden : A 10-year follow-up of data from the Swedish Dental Register

Objectives: To analyze the accumulated fees connected with root filling, permanent coronal restoration and follow-on treatment charged by Swedish dentists over a 10–11-year follow-up period. Furthermore, analyzing these fees with reference to the type of restoration, tooth group, and the root-filled teeth which survived compared to those requiring extraction. Material and Methods: In 2009, the dat

Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Total Wrist Arthroplasty and Total Wrist Fusion : A Prospective Cohort Study with 2-Year Follow-up

Background: The functional benefits of total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) over total wrist fusion (TWF) are unknown. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to compare TWA and TWF with respect to functional outcomes and activitylimitations at up to 2 years postoperatively.Methods: Between 2015 and 2020, we enrolled all adult patients undergoing TWA or TWF for the management of symptomatic end

WOMBAT-P : Benchmarking Label-Free Proteomics Data Analysis Workflows

The inherent diversity of approaches in proteomics research has led to a wide range of software solutions for data analysis. These software solutions encompass multiple tools, each employing different algorithms for various tasks such as peptide-spectrum matching, protein inference, quantification, statistical analysis, and visualization. To enable an unbiased comparison of commonly used bottom-up

Pump Physiology in the Remodeled Heart

This thesis aimed to increase the understanding of pump physiology in the remodeled heart compared to normal pump physiology.Study I was a cross-sectional observatory study investigating the regional contributions to stroke volume in patients with heart failure prior to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and tested the hypothesis that this characterization of pumping could predict CRT respons

LES Modeling of the DLR Generic Single-Cup Spray Combustor : Validation and the Impact of Combustion Chemistry

Turbulent spray combustion in a generic kerosene-fueled single-cup combustor at typical idle and cruise conditions of an aeroengine are studied with Large Eddy Simulations (LES) using Lagrangian spray and finite-rate chemistry combustion modeling. Three reaction mechanisms of varying complexity are used to model the combustion chemistry. The choice of turbulence-chemistry interaction model is show

Data quality and patient characteristics in European ANCA-associated vasculitis registries : data retrieval by federated querying

Objectives This study aims to describe the data structure and harmonisation process, explore data quality and define characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of patients across six federated antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) registries. Methods Through creation of the vasculitis-specific Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable, VASCulitis ontology, we harmonised

The search for enchantment in times of climate change : Religious or spiritual responses to climate crisis

Public discourse and political climate policymaking are based on scientific reports and propose technological solutions to solve the crisis, primarily by changing fossil fuels to renewable energy. Rather than questioning growth and the overuse of natural resources—which has been at the core of green concern for decades—green growth is the motor in an economy that aims for continuous economic spin,

MSC-Based Cell Therapy for COVID-19-Associated ARDS and Classical ARDS : Comparative Perspectives

Purpose of Review: Despite no general conclusions regarding the therapeutic effect of MSCs on virus-induced acute lung injury in pre-clinical studies, a significant number of clinical trials using MSC-based treatment for COVID-19-associated ARDS were initiated during the global pandemic. Here, we aimed to discuss differences and similarities in clinical trials using MSC-based treatments for classi

Immigrant men ‘s perceptions and experiences of accompanying their partner for contraceptive counselling provided by midwives in Sweden- a qualitative study

BackgroundMale involvement in maternal health care has proven to be beneficial for improving maternal and child health and is often crucial in areas of family planning and contraceptive use. However, compared to male involvement in maternal health care, male involvement in contraceptive counselling is complex and controversial and thus faces certain challenges. Immigrant men in Sweden are often ac

Epigenetics and Obesity

Obesity is a complex and chronic disease affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide and has reached epidemic proportions. It is important to understand the underlying mechanisms to tackle this devastating disease, thus preventing its comorbidities. The epigenome, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, appears to be the link between genetics and nongenetic factors, modulating

Pinhole-resistant nanocrystalline rutile TiO2 photoelectrode coatings

Atomic layer deposited (ALD) TiO2 thin films have a wide range of applications in photonics which are, however, limited by the chemical instability of the amorphous as-deposited TiO2. Post-deposition annealing is required for improving the performance by inducing phase transitions and oxide defects. ALD precursor traces remaining in the TiO2 film affect the thermally-induced processes but the unde

Conformational Dynamics of Phytoglobin BvPgb1.2 from Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris

Plant hemoglobins, often referred to as phytoglobins, play important roles in abiotic stress tolerance. Several essential small physiological metabolites can be bound to these heme proteins. In addition, phytoglobins can catalyze a range of different oxidative reactions in vivo. These proteins are often oligomeric, but the degree and relevance of subunit interactions are largely unknown. In this s
