OBJECTIVE:: Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV), a marker of aortic stiffness, has been associated with cognitive test results and markers of cerebral small vessel disease, but its association with dementia has not been studied in detail. Our aim was to assess the association of CFPWV with prevalent and incident dementia in a large population-based study. METHODS:: In total, CFPWV was meas

Purpose of review Myocardial infarction survivors are at a high risk of a recurrent event despite receiving guideline preventive therapy. There is accumulated evidence that persistent atherosclerotic plaque inflammation contributes to this risk. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is widely recognized as a key factor in plaque inflammation and instability; however, no therapies that directly ta

Levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides and total cholesterol are heritable, modifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease. To identify new loci and refine known loci influencing these lipids, we examined 188,577 individuals using genome-wide and custom genotyping arrays. We identify and annotate 157 loci associated with

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer globally, with approximately 1.2 million new cases every year. The highest incidence rates are seen in developed countries, thereby imposing dietary and lifestyle factors in the etiology of CRC. Accumulating epidemiological evidence suggests that obesity is a risk factor for CRC in particular in men, as weak or no associations are seen in wom

Discovering topological quantum materials that combine nontrivial topology with large bandgaps and experimentally accessible signatures remains a central pursuit in condensed matter physics. We demonstrate, through first-principles calculations and tight-binding modeling, that pyrite-type osmium disulfide (OsS2) is a fragile topological insulator (FTI) characterized by an exceptionally large direc

Aim: An electrocardiogram is commonly recommended in breath-holding spell management, mainly to rule out long QT syndrome. This retrospective study investigated the risk of long QT syndrome being misdiagnosed as breath-holding spells in a paediatric population in southern Sweden. Methods: Data on patient characteristics and diagnostic findings were reviewed for patients aged < 10 years who were di

BACKGROUND: The EAT-Lancet planetary health diet emphasises plant-based foods while including moderate amounts of animal-sourced foods. Simulation-based modelling studies suggest that the diet can provide adequate micronutrients, but concerns remain about potential deficiencies as studies have used different methodologies and few have assessed nutrient intakes using both dietary and biomarker data

To manage complex and dynamic socio-technical systems places demands on teams to deal with a range of more and less foreseeable situations. Three groups of participants with different maritime experiences were studied using the same simulation of a ship to better understand the role of generic competencies (e.g. information management, communication and coordination, decision making, and effect co

Aims: The present study aimed at testing the hypothesis that atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR) is predictive of sinus rhythm maintenance after electrical cardioversion. Methods and results: The study comprised 32 patients admitted for cardioversion of atrial fibrillation of short duration (mean duration 3.8 ± 7.7 days). AFR was estimated using frequency power spectrum analysis of QRST-cancelled ECG.

The chemical bonding at the interface between compound semiconductors and metals is central in determining electronic and optical properties. In this study, new opportunities for controlling this are presented for nanostructures. We investigate Bi adsorption on 2D wurtzite InAs (112̄0) nanosheets and find that temperature-controlled Bi incorporation in either anionic- or cationic-like bonding is p

The CO2 corrosion-induced scale developed in the surface region of the low-grade carbon steel is thoroughly investigated to understand the corrosion mechanisms involved during exposure to CO2-saturated aqueous environments. In this work, in addition to the electron microscopy and lab-source X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods, ex-situ depth-resolved phase identification of the corrosion scales develop

The highest resolution of images of soft matter and biological materials is ultimately limited by modification of the structure, induced by the necessarily high energy of short-wavelength radiation. Imaging the inelastically scattered X-rays at a photon energy of 60 keV (0.02 nm wavelength) offers greater signal per energy transferred to the sample than coherent-scattering techniques such as phase

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease leading to gastrointestinal symptoms and mineral deficiencies. The pathogenetic mechanisms, besides the clear HLA association, are elusive. Among environmental factors infections have been proposed. Covid-19 infection results in a systemic inflammatory response that often also involves the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study
