When assessing patients presenting with weakness to the emergency department, the initial focus is on determining whether patients are suffering from conditions where prompt treatment decreases morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is based on an understanding of neuroanatomy and on pattern recognition. A structured history, combined with selected physical examinations and bedside tests, are used to

Parents of children with a congenital heart defect needing complex heart surgery are at high risk of developing health problems. One can assume that parents whose child undergoes heart surgery abroad will undoubtably face added and unique stressors and health vulnerabilities. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the transition experiences of parents of children who underwent a complex

This paper presents a search for direct top squark pair production in events with missing transverse momentum plus either a pair of jets consistent with Standard Model Higgs boson decay into b-quarks or a same-flavour opposite-sign dilepton pair with an invariant mass consistent with a Z boson. The analysis is performed using the proton–proton collision data at s=13 TeV collected with the ATLAS de

Background: Middle Eastern immigrants to Europe represent a high risk population for type 2 diabetes. We compared prevalence of novel subgroups and assessed risk of diabetic macro- and microvascular complications between diabetes patients of Middle Eastern and European origin. Methods: This study included newly diagnosed diabetes patients born in Sweden (N = 10641) or Iraq (N = 286), previously in

In order to make our production and consumption systems more sustainable, there is a need to further explore and support novel business models with higher sustainability potential. Use-oriented product-service systems (u-PSS) are considered a promising alternative to traditional ownership-based business models, as they may result in lower environmental impacts. The presence of u-PSS in consumer go

The transport of neutrons in long beamlines at spallation neutron sources presents a unique challenge for Monte-Carlo transport calculations. This is due to the need to accurately model the deep-penetration of high-energy neutrons through meters of thick dense shields close to the source and at the same time to model the transport of low- energy neutrons across distances up to around 150 m in leng

Thermal imaging, or more correctly infrared thermography, has been widely applied to studies of animal and human biology (see Burnay et al. 1988; McCafferty 2007; Soerensen and Pedersen 2015; Fernandez-Cuevas et al., 2015; Tattersall 2016). This technique provides non-contact measurement of surface temperature, allowing real-time recording of the spatial temperature distribution of a body region,

The aim of this paper is to outline a process-based approach to the historical trajectory of commercialising cities that can account for continuity and change in a city’s image. Previous research involving historical approaches to the commercialisation of places are typically underpinned by a view of history as linear and chronological. By contrast, the present study adopts a performative view of

The aim of this note is to present the recent results in [16] where we provide the existence of solutions of some nonlinear resonant PDEs on T2 exchanging energy among Fourier modes in a "chaotic-like" way. We say that a transition of energy is "chaotic-like" if either the choice of activated modes or the time spent in each transfer can be chosen randomly. We consider the nonlinear cubic Wave, the

Measurements of the inclusive J/ψ yield as a function of charged-particle pseudorapidity density dNch/dη in pp collisions at s=13 TeV with ALICE at the LHC are reported. The J/ψ meson yield is measured at midrapidity (|y|

Physiological time series are affected by many factors, making them highly nonlinear and nonstationary. As a consequence, heart rate time series are often considered difficult to predict and handle. However, heart rate behavior can indicate underlying cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as mood disorders. Given the importance of accurate modeling and reliable predictions of heart rate

Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are used as therapeutics and for diagnostics of a variety of diseases, and novel antibodies are continuously being developed to find treatments for new diseases. Therefore, the manufacturing process must accommodate a range of mAb characteristics. Acid-sensitive mAbs can severely compromise product purity and yield in the purification process due to the potential format

The current range and volume of research evaluation-related literature is extensive and incorporates scholarly and policy/practice-related perspectives. This reflects academic and practical interest over many decades and trails the changing funding and reputational modalities for universities, namely increased selectivity applied to institutional research funding streams and the perceived importan

Background: Interatrial block (IAB) and abnormal P-wave terminal force in lead V1 (PTFV1) are electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities that have been shown to be associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and death. However, their prognostic importance has not been proven in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) recipients. Objective: To assess if IAB and abnormal PTFV1 are associated wi

Malignant hyperthermia is a potentially fatal condition, in which genetically predisposed individuals develop a hypermetabolic reaction to potent inhalation anaesthetics or succinylcholine. Because of the rarity of malignant hyperthermia and ethical limitations, there is no evidence from interventional trials to inform the optimal perioperative management of patients known or suspected with malign

Children’s right to involvement in practices that address their well-being is frequently highlighted, yet how children exercise involvement in face-to-face encounters has remained fairly unknown. To fulfil our aim of identifying, describing and defining children’s involvement, we conducted an inductive microanalysis of face-to-face dialogue on audiovisual recordings of naturally occurring therapy Children’s right to involvement in practices that address their well-being is frequently highlighted, yet how children exercise involvement in face-to-face encounters has remained fairly unknown.

Serialization is an old narrative strategy and a form of publication that can be traced far back in literary history, yet serial narratives are as popular as ever. This book investigates a resurgence of serial narratives in contemporary literary culture.Analyzing series as diverse as Mark Z. Danielewski’s experimental book series The Familiar; audiobook series by the Swedish streaming service Stor
