Background/Objectives: Contemporary healthcare systems are characterised by rapid change, high workload, and staff shortages, creating conditions that may compromise care quality and generate turbulence in nursing. Turbulence has been discussed in nursing research. However, greater conceptual clarity is needed regarding its underlying factors and implications for nursing work. The aim of this stud
The International Bladder Cancer Group (IBCG) has proposed a prognostic model for intermediate risk (IR) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) for clinical decision-making. We applied the IBCG IR model in a population-based Swedish setting in patients with primary IR NMIBC diagnosed 2013-2014 in BladderBaSe 2.0. Patients were stratified into low-risk (unifocal and tumour size < 3 cm) and inte
Cells must recycle stalled ribosomes while preventing the accumulation of aberrant nascent chains. In bacteria, this is achieved by overlapping pathways with distinct substrates: ribosome-rescue systems act mainly on non-stop mRNAs, whereas ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) targets mid-ORF arrests. Work in Gram-positive bacteria defined an RQC mechanism that appends C-terminal degrons to s
Background & Aims Microscopic colitis (MC) is a leading cause of chronic diarrhea, particularly in older adults. Although many patients respond to budesonide, refractory and dependent cases pose major therapeutic challenges. Although the off-label use of advanced inflammatory bowel disease therapies is expanding, robust real-world data remain scarce. Methods Through the ECCO CONFER network, we
This chapter draws together some thoughts and lessons from the various contributions to this book. It reflects on some persistent issues arising from the chapters. It deliberates on the complexities of understanding, and the endeavours to ensure equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) issues are addressed in the workplace. It also examines some emerging concerns that can likely hamper the progress
The purpose of this article is to outline and introduce research in the intersection of queerness, space and spatial design – temporarily pinning down the elusive, fluid and transitional character of queerness to make this lens more broadly available to students, practitioners and researchers in the many fields interested in space and its organisation. Hence, a normative project of making a queer
Fermented foods have gained increasing scientific interest for their potential to modulate gut microbiota and provide probiotic microorganisms with possible health benefits. This intervention trial examined the impact of daily consumption of water kefir, a sustainable plant-based fermented beverage, on gut microbiota composition in 40 healthy adults. Participants consumed 200 mL of homemade w
Our point of departure has been that, by using the language of solidarity, we - consciously or not - participate in the politics of it. The group of authors coming together in this volume contribute analyses of solidarity as a norm, a process, a practice, or a vocabulary creating polyperspectivity. In so doing, we let the course of our analysis be directed by the actors we investigate over a span
Objective: Testicular torsion (TT) is a medical emergency, difficult to identify solely through clinical evaluation. This study aims to develop an assessment algorithm with a safe lower threshold for complementary ultrasound. Material and methods: Males between 1 and 30 years of age assessed for suspected TT during the years 2019 – 2023 were retrospectively included. Clinical assessments were cond
Avian genomes are typically stable, yet instances of chromosome fissions, fusions and translocations are known across various lineages. For example, multiple sex chromosome translocations have been described in the superfamily Sylvioidea. In this study, we examine the sex chromosomes in two Sylvioidea families, Nicatoridae and Cisticolidae, using whole-genome data. We found sex-linkage of chromoso
The purpose of this study is to explore how adolescents in self-contained classrooms or schools for students with autism or ADHD, with no prior involvement in criminality, perceive and interpret different forms of early offending behavior through fictional case stories. The study specifically aims to examine their ability to discern what constitutes offending behavior, based on the double empathy
Objectives: – To quantify the risk of incident psychiatric morbidity after community-acquired sepsis and assess whether new chronic diseases mediate the association. Design: – Nationwide, population-based matched register cohort; hazards estimated with weighted Cox regression. Setting: – Sweden, linking the National Quality Sepsis Registry, National Patient Register, Prescribed Drug Register, and
Quantification using the Centiloid (CL) scale has become a valuable information to consider when interpreting amyloid-PET images and is now implemented in several software packages. This work aims to assess the comparability of CL from [18F]flutemetamol scans derived using several research and commercial quantification pipelines. Methods: This analysis relies on three datasets: a test-retest cohor
This study investigates the impact of a 10-week Arts on Prescription (AoP) program in Denmark designed for young adults aged 18–30 who were disengaged from education and unemployed. Eighteen participants took part in four semi-structured focus group interviews, and four completed a survey; most reported experiences of anxiety, depression, and stress, with some describing chronic pain, ADHD, or aut
Background: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the preferred first-line diagnostic tool for evaluating lymphadenopathy due to its minimally invasive nature and cost-effectiveness. However, cytopathological interpretation of lymph node FNAB remains challenging because of the wide morphological spectrum of lymphoid lesions. The World Health Organization (WHO) Reporting System for Lymph Nodes, S
Background Drug use disorder (DUD) clusters in families due partly to shared environment, including sibling influences. Low academic achievement (AA) in adolescence increases DUD risk. This study examined whether low AA in an older sibling causally increases DUD risk in younger siblings. Methods We studied all Swedish full sibling pairs (n = 309,666) born 1972–1985 and ≤ 5 years apart. Older sibli
