Phalangeal fractures are common in all ages. Stable, extraarticular fractures can be treated non-operatively by closed reduction and buddy taping, while surgical fixation should be considered for unstable and displaced extra-articular fractures and most intra-articular fractures. The treatment should aim at early, active mobilisation in order to achieve the optimal functional outcome. Since intra-

Stem cell aging and wound healing

Aging is a natural process that promotes different pathologies and progressive functional losses of cells and tissues. Aging impacts stem cell reserve and function negatively, resulting in compromising tissue regeneration. Stem cell aging significantly impairs wound healing properties of different tissues due to the age-related aberrant changes like increased proinflammatory cytokines, accumulatio

Potential for identification of wild night-flying moths by remote infrared microscopy

There are hundreds of thousands of moth species with crucial ecological roles that are often obscured by their nocturnal lifestyles. The pigmentation and appearance of moths are dominated by cryptic diffuse shades of brown. In this study, 82 specimens representing 26 moth species were analysed using infrared polarimetric hyperspectral imaging in the range of 0.95–2.5 µm. Contrary to previous studi

The Street of Associations : Migration and Infrastructural (Re)Production of Norra Grängesbergsgatan, Malmö

As global migration alters the demography of Swedish cities in the postwelfare era, socio-spatial polarisation and discrimination present acute challenges. In recent decades, Malmö has transformed from an industrial into a postindustrial, service economy-oriented city. The neoliberal urban planning and regeneration policies guiding such processes carry detrimental social and economic effects for u

Role of CRISPR/Cas9 and other gene editing/engineering technology in intestine diseases

A tremendous effort has been made over decades to develop technology to edit the genome. Genomes are composed of billions of DNA bases and contain all of the genetic information from organisms. The possibility to change DNA bases at precise sites sheds light on many perspectives, not only molecular biology but also applications in medicine and agriculture. Genome editing tools have come to the rev

The Art of Resistance in Islam : The Performance of Politics among Shi'i Women in the Middle East and Beyond

Based on first-hand ethnographic insights into Shi‘i religious groups in the Middle East and Europe, this book examines women’s resistance to state as well as communal and gender power structures. It offers a new transnational approach to understanding gender agency within contemporary Islamic movements expressed through language, ritual practices, dramatic performances, posters, and banners. By l

Diffusion MRI of Brain Tissue: Importance of Axonal Trajectory

Obtaining microstructural information non-invasively on brain tissue remains a challenge. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is an imaging method that can provide such information. That includes geometrical considerations of nerve cells projections, axons, that are present in the white matter of the human brain. Axons carry information encoded into electrical impulses to other cells.The t

How to improve data quality in dog eye tracking

Pupil-corneal reflection (P-CR) eye tracking has gained a prominent role in studying dog visual cognition, despite methodological challenges that often lead to lower-quality data than when recording from humans. In the current study, we investigated if and how the morphology of dogs might interfere with tracking of P-CR systems, and to what extent such interference, possibly in combination with do

Physiological Demands and Characteristics of Movement During Simulated Combat

IntroductionMilitary tasks place considerable physiological demands on the soldier. It is therefore important to know the energy expenditure of soldiers while solving tasks in different environments. The purpose of this study was to describe the cardiorespiratory demands of certain movements and activities on ground combat soldiers during military field operations using body sensors and simulated

Gendered mortality of children and adolescents in nineteenth-century Denmark : Exploring patterns of sex ratios and mortality rates

The relationship between gender and mortality in nineteenth-century Europe has been highly debated. In particular, historians disagree about the manner and degree to which gender discrimination affected the mortality risk of the female population. This article contributes by examining the evidence of gendered mortality differences among children and adolescents in nineteenth-century Denmark. It ma

Measuring waste prevention and reuse: digital opportunities : Using the digitalisation of society to inform policy

The data generated in our digital society can be harnessed to generate policy-relevant indicators on waste prevention and reuse, and be used to fill in the gaps left by official data and statistics. This project elaborates where the greatest potentials lie for improving the monitoring of waste prevention and reuse, and presents a roadmap for improving the monitoring of waste prevention in the Nord
