Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most com- mon cause of movement disorder and has a median age-of-onset of ~55 years. It presents with a classical triad of motor symptoms: akinesia, rigidity and tremor. Many patients also suffer from non-motor symptoms, including disturbances of autonomic func- tions and deterioration of cognition1. The aetiology and pathogenetic mechanisms that cause PD remain eni

In this work we investigate the development of functionally graded cemented carbides, featuring macro gradients on the millimeter scale, where Fe, or Ni is the binder phase. Two composites, WC-Ni and WC-Fe with 20 % binder by volume were produced by addition of TiC on the surface of the samples before sintering at 1475 °C for 1 h. The sintered samples were analyzed using electron microscopy and mi

The report presents a bibliography of academic literature on transdisciplinary urban research. It includes journal articles, book chapters, and reports that engage with a wide range of theories, methods, evaluation techniques, and experiences of academic and non-academic stakeholders who conduct collaborative research on or related to cities.

The aim of this report is to provide insights on the expertise, knowledge, and experiences of conducting transdisciplinary urban research. To gather insights, we developed a set of questions based on a review of transdisciplinary research publications from 2010 to 2023 in the disciplines of Architecture, Planning, Geography, Urban Studies, and Sustainability Science. We used these questions as a g

This report summarises the insights we developed by conducting a literature review of the dominant approaches and experiences of transdisciplinary urban research. We conducted a World Wide Web search to identify key academic and non-academic publications between 2010 and 2023 in the disciplines of Architecture, Planning, Geography, Urban Studies, and Sustainability Science. We focused on those con

This report provides a summary of 11 visualisations that have been developed by scholars who are engaged in transdisciplinary urban research. We identified the visualisations through a review of academic literature in the disciplines of Architecture, Planning, Geography, Urban Studies, and Sustainability Science between 2010 to 2023. Some of the visualisations are original while others are derived

Oxidative stress and alterations in redox signalling have been implicated in the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI). NADPH oxidase (Nox) is an important source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the infarcted myocardium. Alarmin S100A8/A9 amplifies acute myocardial inflammation in MI and has been shown to be a promising therapeutic target to improve cardiac function post-MI. We aimed t

Welfare technology (WT) use is increasingly advocated to facilitate aging in place. However, it remains unclear how older adults and homecare staff perceive these digital technologies in practice. This qualitative study investigated the ways in which current WT either facilitated or fell short in supporting older adults in their daily lives and homecare staff at work. Four key themes were develope

The pathophysiology behind Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is not fully understood and associated factors and triggers for developing the condition are debated. We aimed to study such factors and long-term outcome in a descriptive cross-sectional study with a well-defined population with CRPS in the upper limb and related to sex and CRPS type. In retrospectively collected data from medical r

Background: The EAT-Lancet Commission has proposed a global reference diet aimed at promoting both human health and environmental sustainability. While adherence to this dietary pattern has been associated with reduced risks of chronic disease and lower environmental impact, concerns remain about its ability to meet nutritional requirements - particularly among older adults. The aim was to explore

Background and aims: The EAT-Lancet Commission proposed a healthy dietary pattern to prevent diet-related diseases while promoting planetary sustainability, but little is known regarding its associations with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), both of which are highly prevalent and frequently co-exist. We aimed to assess association of thi

BACKGROUND: Sub-Saharan Africa is facing a dietary transition with both undernutrition and rising rates of non-communicable diseases. Adopting the reference diet proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission can reduce both the environmental burden and improve health outcomes. However, whether this diet provides micronutrient adequacy in older adults in low-income settings has not been investigated. This

In this article, we examine how the death of an author affects the value negotiation surrounding his or her oeuvre. As Barbara Herrnstein Smith has argued, literary value is not a fixed category but rather something that is created and negotiated in relation to various contexts and settings. For a high evaluation of the oeuvre of a given author – or a particular work – to be maintained, this value

BACKGROUND: The evidence linking sugar intake to cardiovascular disease risk remains largely inconclusive, with variations observed across different subgroups of sugar intake. In addition, studies on genetic markers of sugar intake are scarce, especially for different sugar subgroups.OBJECTIVE: This genome-wide association study (GWAS) aimed to investigate genetic variants associated with the inta

The chapter examines education and training initiatives aimed at improving dementia care in majority-world settings. It highlights three key programs that promote equitable partnerships between high-income countries (HICs), upper-middle-income countries, and lower and middle-income countries (LMICs). The first initiative is the Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health fellowship at the Global B

INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological evidence suggests the association of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) at baseline with the risk of heart failure (HF), however, the associations between transitions of PRISm and incident HF remain to be clarified. Furthermore, the causal relationship and underlying biological mechanisms linking PRISm and HF are unclear.OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to invest
