Background and ObjectivesTo examine whether high white matter hyperintensity (WMH) burden is associated with greater stroke severity and worse functional outcomes in lesion pattern-specific ways.MethodsMR neuroimaging and NIH Stroke Scale data at index stroke and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3-6 months after stroke were obtained from the MRI-Genetics Interface Exploration study of pati

Little is known about the productive morphosyntax of Norwegian children with developmental language disorder (DLD). The current study examined morphosyntax inNorwegian-speaking children with DLD (n =19) and a control group that was pairwisematched for age, gender, and intelligence quotient (IQ; n = 19). The children’s sentence repetitions were studied through the lens of Processability Theory. The

This article examines multilingual language use in two groups ofchildren, one group at a state school, and one at a private IBschool. The IB school has earlier been assumed to reflect an ‘elite’multilingualism. Three research questions are posed: to whatextent is the children’s language use multilingual, what are theirtypological profiles, and are there any differences between thetwo groups in theThis article examines multilingual language use in two groups of children, one group at a state school, and one at a private IB school.

This article presents the first measurement of the interaction between charm hadrons and nucleons. The two-particle momentum correlations of pD- and p¯D+ pairs are measured by the ALICE Collaboration in high-multiplicity pp collisions at s=13 TeV. The data are compatible with the Coulomb-only interaction hypothesis within (1.1-1.5)σ. The level of agreement slightly improves if an attractive nucleo

Purpose: A preoperative estimate of the risk of malignancy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) is important. The present study carries out an external validation of the Shin score in a European multicenter cohort. Methods: An observational multicenter European study from 2010 to 2015. All consecutive patients undergoing surgery for IPMN at 35 hospitals with histological-confirmed I

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) influences climate via cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation resulting from its oxidation products (mainly methanesulfonic acid, MSA, and sulfuric acid, H2SO4). Despite their importance, accurate prediction of MSA and H2SO4 from DMS oxidation remains challenging. With comprehensive experiments carried out in the Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets (CLOUD) chamber at CERN, w

The rise of 5G technology leads to a boom in the demand for widely available wireless connectivity while requiring telecommunication networks to improve spectral efficiency and deploy dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) and carrier aggregation (CA). This imposes more stringent intermodulation test scenarios and blocking requirements on RF transceivers. In addition, they are required to be programmable

The relationships between structure and function in human knee femoral cartilage are not well-known at different stages of osteoarthritis. Thus, our aim was to characterize the depth-dependent composition and structure (proteoglycan content, collagen network organization and collagen content) of normal and osteoarthritic human femoral condyle cartilage (n = 47) and relate them to their viscoelasti

Pesticides account for hundreds of millions of cases of acute poisoning worldwide each year, with organophosphates (OPs) being responsible for the majority of all pesticide-related deaths. OPs inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which leads to impairment of the central- and peripheral nervous system. Current standard of care (SOC) alleviates acute neurologic-, cardiovascular- and respi

Background: Some groups of migrants have increased vulnerability to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) transmission partly due to a lower uptake of disease preventive activities targeting the general population in receiving country. Limited access to economic and social resources and poor language skills may exacerbate exposure to sexual risks and utilizat

For the broader industrial usage of metal additive manufactured parts, especially made by laser powder bed fusion, a better prediction and understanding of the warpage and of eigenstresses within the final part are necessary. Due to the diverse and sophisticated metallurgical and thermal processes during production, physically motivated simulations are rather complex and time consuming. Therefore,

Obstetric records of hospital births of children present in the Scanian Economic Demographic Database. The records contain information on gestational age, birthweight, and other indicators of health of the child, as well as information on maternal health.

Orthosomycin antibiotics inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the large ribosomal subunit in the tRNA accommodation corridor, which is traversed by incoming aminoacyl-tRNAs. Structural and biochemical studies suggested that orthosomycins block accommodation of any aminoacyl-tRNAs in the ribosomal A-site. However, the mode of action of orthosomycins in vivo remained unknown. Here, by carrying ou

This study investigates the ways in which age and gender play out on the LinkedIn pages of global staffing agencies through an intersectionality lens. A discourse analysis of 437 LinkedIn posts (including visual images, captions, and comments) was conducted. This study found that the corporate discourse of diversity shaped the ways that age and gender were represented. The portrayals of age and ge

Aim: The aim of the study was to deepen the current knowledge of how patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and long-term oxygen treatment think about and expect end-of-life. Design: A qualitative design was used. Methods: A purposeful sample of 19 patients with oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was obtained from the Swedish National Registry on Respiratory Failur
