Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) has independent diagnostic and prognostic value for cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification, but studies on its association with anthropometric and CV factors are sparse in young individuals without overt CV disease. We aim to provide descriptive data regarding VAC and its associations with CV risk factors in young adults without overt CV disease. For 631 (mean
PURPOSE: Absent lymph flow and chronic inflammationleads to excess subcutaneous adipose tissue deposition.Chronic non-pitting lymphedema does not respond to conservativetreatment or microsurgical procedures becausethey do not target the adipose tissue. Removing the adiposetissue using suction assisted lipectomy (SAL) seems thus tobe a logic treatment strategy.METHODS: Arms: 190 women, mean±SEM age
BackgroundHepatitis B virus (HBV) and syphilis have been the most common co-infections that hinder treatment outcomes and increase early mortality among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). In this study, we aimed to determine the burden of HBV and syphilis co-infections and its impact on treatment outcomes among PLHIV in Ethiopia.MethodsWe used data from the Ethiopian Populati
It has been shown that ultra-high frequency (UHF) ultrasound applied to the external bowel wall can delineate the histo-anatomic layers in detail and distinguish normal bowel from aganglionosis. This would potentially reduce or lessen the need for biopsies that are currently mandatory for the diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s disease. However, to our knowledge, no suitable rectal probes for such a use a
Background: Optimizing rectal suction biopsy (RSB) diagnostics in Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) may shorten diagnostic time and prevent need for repeated biopsies. Aim: To explore whether systematic orientation of fresh RSB specimens increased biopsy quality, diagnostic times, diagnostic efficacy, and histopathologic workload, and to explore these outcome measures for aganglionic specimens. Material
Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) is characterized by aganglionosis in the bowel wall, requiring resection. Ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) imaging of the bowel wall has been suggested to be an instantaneous method of deciding resection length. The aim of this study was to validate UHFUS imaging of the bowel wall in children with HD by exploring the correlation and systematic differences between
Gruppundervisning sprids snabbt över världen, men lite forskning har utförts för att undersöka dess inverkan på elevers musikaliska förmågor jämfört med inkludering i gruppundervisningssammanhang. Den här artikeln undersöker hur musiklärare från den klassiska orkesterinstrumentala traditionen diskuterar gruppundervisning. Tre fokusgruppsintervjuer genomfördes med deltagare från en kulturskola i SvGroup teaching is rapidly spreading across the world, but little research has been conducted to investigate its impact on students’ musical abilities in comparison to inclusion in group tuition contexts. This article investigates how music teachers from the classical orchestra instrumental tradition discuss group tuition. Three focus group interviews were conducted with participants from one Art a
Stupidity is generally thought of as a hindrance to learning: an epistemic vice that stands in the way of knowledge and understanding. In this article, I challenge this idea by exploring some of the meanings of stupidity that place it in a positive relation to learning. In this light, the article discusses two notions of stupidity: stupidity as unfinished thought and stupefaction through study. I
The building sector is facing a challenge in achieving carbon neutrality due to climate change and urbanization. Urban building energy modeling (UBEM) is an effective method to understand the energy use of building stocks at an urban scale and evaluate retrofit scenarios against future weather variations, supporting the implementation of carbon emission reduction policies. Currently, most studies
Objective This study assessed the magnitude of risky sexual practices and associated factors among adult people living with HIV (PLHIV) attending antiretroviral clinics in public hospitals in Kembata Tembaro Zone, southern Ethiopia.Design A cross-sectional study was conducted.Setting A hospital-based study was conducted among adult PLHIV in the Kambata Tambaro Zone, southern Ethiopia.Participants
Violence is central to social life, especially for people at the margins of urban society. This article examines ethnographic data collected in Oslo among individuals who are involved in street life and crime. We propose the following typology for understanding violence in this population: respect-based violence, business violence, drunken violence, and family violence. We argue that from an emic

Objective: To investigate CITED1 as a potential biomarker of anti-endocrine response and breast cancer recurrence, given its previously determined role in mediating estrogen-dependant transcription. The study is a continuation of earlier work establishing the role of CITED1 in mammary gland development.Results: CITED1 mRNA is associated with estrogen-receptor positivity and selectively expressed i
