Background: Emerging evidence suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) can increase cancer detection in mammography screening while reducing screen-reading workload, but further understanding of the clinical impact is needed. Methods: In this randomised, controlled, parallel-group, non-inferiority, single-blinded, screening-accuracy study, done within the Swedish national screening programme, wo

BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the major form of functional bowel disorders, where the diagnosis is based on set criteria and characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. Epidemiological data, alongside self-reported outcomes, are of interest with regard to IBS, as these factors may need to be addressed to optimize underlying IBS. This study aims to examine the effec

HLA-DR genes are associated with the progression from stage 1 and stage 2 to onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D), after accounting HLA-DQ genes with which they are in high linkage-disequilibrium. Based on an integrated cohort of participants from two completed clinical trials, this investigation finds that sharing a haplotype with the DRB1*03:01 (DR3) allele, DRB3*01:01:02 and *02:02:01 have re

The interaction of light with matter played a key role in the establishment of quantum mechanics, and each development of new light sources led to important advances in science, technology and society. An exciting area of physics has been opened with the new millennium, attosecond physics, where the motion of electrons can be studied at the fastest time scale ever reached with light. We review the

Abstract in French:Cette recherche s'intéresse à la mobilisation transnationale de la diaspora autour du vote externe et à l'implication des organisations diasporiques dans le processus électoral du pays d'origine. Plusieurs approches expliquent la transnationalisation politique des groupes diasporiques ; cependant, elles ne parviennent pas à clarifier (1) comment certains moments historiques (parThis research is concerned with transnational diaspora mobilisation around external voting and diaspora organisations’ involvement in the homeland electoral process. There are several approaches that explain the political transnationalisation of the diasporic groups; yet, they fail to clarify (1) how some historical moments (e.g., extending the voting right to non-resident nationals) can generate

Background: Elevated red cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with increased postoperative mortality, but less is known about kidney outcomes. This study investigated the association between elevated preoperative RDW and postoperative worsening of long-term kidney function and incidence of acute kidney injury. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients ≥18 yr undergoing nonc

Denna berättelse handlar om hur hypertermi (uppvärmning av tumörer) kan användas tillsammans med strålterapi för att förbättra behandlingsresultat vid cancer, särskilt återkommande bröstcancer. Det föreslås även nya kombinationsmetoder med immunoterapi för att ytterligare förstärka effekten och förbättra patienternas prognos. Berättelsen är en hyllning till minnet av pionjären onkologiläkaren Clae

PURPOSE: This observational study examined the relationship between self-reported dietary patterns-omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan-and iron status among Swedish teenage girls. Additionally, we compared the consumption of various food groups in relation to iron status.METHODS: Data were collected from 475 female high school students in Malmö and Lund, Sweden, using questionnaires on di

tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs) are a new class of small non-coding RNA that have emerged as important regulators of cellular stress responses. tiRNAs are derived from specific tRNA cleavage by the stress-induced ribonuclease angiogenin (ANG). Loss-of-function mutations in the ANG gene are linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and elevated levels of specific tiRNAs were recently

Few studies have explored religious professionals’ interactions with scientific authority in work settings. Fewer still examine professionals outside Western contexts. We analyze the science-religion interface as it exists in Shaolin Temple—an ancient Chan Buddhist temple with a worldwide reputation for Shaolin Kungfu. Drawing on a near-exhaustive survey within Shaolin monastery and 23 interviews

Marriage is among the most fundamental social relationships undergirding the transmission of cultural norms and family property. How marital partnerships are formed is of considerable interest to a broad range of social scientists, particularly when and whether partners are sought from within the family or from the outside. We study the relatively high levels of cousin marriage characteristic of E

We need to effectively combine the knowledge from surging literature with complex datasets to propose mechanistic models of SARS-CoV-2 infection, improving data interpretation and predicting key targets of intervention. Here, we describe a large-scale community effort to build an open access, interoperable and computable repository of COVID-19 molecular mechanisms. The COVID-19 Disease Map (C19DMa

OBJECTIVE: Sepsis and septic shock are major challenges and economic burdens to healthcare, impacting millions of people globally and representing significant causes of mortality. Recently, a large number of quality improvement programs focused on sepsis resuscitation bundles have been instituted worldwide. These educational initiatives have been shown to be associated with improvements in clinica

Combustion remains the primary process for energy supply in nowadays society. With the emerging of low-carbon fuels alongside traditional fossil fuels, the increased complexity of thermal-chemical conversion processes call for more accurate diagnostic tools. Compared to traditional offline measurement techniques which are often insufficient in providing precise information, advanced laser diagnost

Patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) exhibit myocardial changes which may cause flow inefficiencies not detectable on echocardiogram. We investigated whether left ventricular (LV) kinetic energy (KE) and hemodynamic forces (HDF) on 4D-flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can provide more sensitive measures of flow in non-obstructive HCM.Methods and resultsNinety
