BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated an association between transplantation rate per center and postoperative mortality after heart transplantation. In 2011, Sweden centralized heart transplants and waiting lists, reducing the number of centers from 3 to 2. We aimed to assess the active waiting time and pre- and post-transplant mortality before and after centralization.METHODS: Heart tra

To examine whether the level of genetic risk in psychiatric disorders impacts the social functioning of affected individuals, we examine the relationship between genetic risk factors for major depression (MD), anxiety disorders (AD), bipolar disorder (BD), non-affective psychosis (NAP), alcohol use disorder (AUD), and drug use disorder (DUD) in disordered individuals and five adverse social outcom

Purpose: To investigate the contributors to self-rated health in people with late-stage Parkinson’s disease (PD) and cognitive impairment. Methods: A secondary analysis of baseline data from the international Care of Late-Stage Parkinsonism (CLaSP) cohort study was conducted. Participants with PD and either dementia or mild cognitive impairment or MMSE < 24/30 in the absence of major depression we

Proof logging in constraint programming is an approach to certifying a conclusion reached by a solver. To allow for this, different propagators must be augmented to produce justifications for any inferences they make, so that an independent proof checker can certify correctness. The Circuit constraint is used to enforce a Hamiltonian cycle on a set of vertices, e.g. for vehicle routing. Maintainin

IMPORTANCE Twin studies have found that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors within a generation. No study has used an adoption design, which can address questions about the degree and sources of cross-generational transmission of adverse stress responses (ASRs) and PTSD. OBJECTIVES To examine whether ASRs or PTSD are transmitted from parents

Redovisning är en process som omfattar allt från företagets transaktioner och omständigheter, till den analys och användning av företagets redovisningsinformation som slutligen sker. Redovisning ligger också till grund för en lång rad viktiga beslut. Vi vill med den här boken visa att redovisning är någonting helt fundamentalt i samhället och ett ämne som är både roligt, spännande och viktigt!Boke

This editorial introduces the issue of Journal of Scandinavian Cinema (JSCA), which focuses on representations of various social identities in diverse historical and cultural contexts. The issue includes articles on race and post-colonialism, gender and sexuality, and class and nation in Nordic films. The editorial summarizes main arguments and contributions of each article and highlights the rele

Background: Insulin resistance is a hypothesised biological mechanism linking obesity with prostate cancer (PCa) death. Data in support of this hypothesis is limited. Methods: We included 259,884 men from eight European cohorts, with 11,760 incident PCa’s and 1784 PCa deaths during follow-up. We used the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index as indicator of insulin resistance. We analysed PCa cases wit

Streak cameras are central to measurements across the sciences. By spatially modulating the entrance slit, we show a more than 20% increase in temporal resolution opening up for sub-picosecond measurements with standard streak camera systems.

In the last 30 years, molecular imprinting has been evidenced as a desirable approach to design artificial, specific, and selective recognition sites for the target molecules/cells. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are the most encouraging reflection of the advanced area of biomimetics and have attracted important popularity for the detection of many types of molecules including peptides, pro

Data regarding excretion of SARS-CoV-2 in semen are inconclusive and counseling regarding risk of sexual transmission is still challenging. Our knowledge on the effect of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) on male reproductive system is also scarce. Apart from negative effect of fever on spermatogenesis virtually no study has been able to compare reproductive parameters in men with COVID-19

This paper concerns the inverse problem of determining a planar conductivity inclusion. Our aim is to analytically recover from the generalized polarization tensors (GPTs), which can be obtained from exterior measurements, a homogeneous inclusion with arbitrary constant conductivity. The primary outcome of recovering a homogeneous inclusion is an inversion formula in terms of the GPTs for conforma

The dissociative double photoionization of isoxazole molecules has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The experiment has been carried out in the 27.5-36 eV photon energy range using vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) synchrotron radiation excitation combined with ion time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometry and photoelectron-photoion-photoion coincidence (PEPIPICO) technique. Five well-resolved tw

Renewable energy (RE) integrated with a hybrid electric-hydrogen storage system (HEHSS) is considered a promising solution for data centers to increase their energy efficiency and decrease their greenhouse emissions. This paper proposes a forecasting based hierarchical energy management strategy for a data center with wind energy, tidal energy and HEHSS, which is taken as a microgrid. A multi-popu

Introduction: Patients requiring postcardiotomy veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A-ECMO) have a high risk of early mortality. In this analysis, we evaluated whether any interinstitutional difference exists in the results of postcardiotomy V-A-ECMO. Methods: Studies on postcardiotomy V-A-ECMO were identified through a systematic review for individual patient data (IPD) meta-anal

Background and purpose: Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are common among Parkinson's disease patients using dopamine agonists. We wanted to determine whether ICD patients have higher dopamine agonist serum concentrations than those without any sign of ICD. Methods: Patients who used either pramipexole or ropinirole depot once daily were screened for ICDs using the validated Questionnaire for Impu
