INTRODUCTION: Since the last two decades, there has been a dramatic rise in caesarean sections (CS) throughout the world. This increase has been seen even in Europe, where rates vary significantly from 17% in Northern Europe to 56% in the South. Although, CS can be a lifesaving intervention when medically necessary, non-essential CS are associated with short- and long-term complications for both t
Importance Substantial improvements in childhood cancer survival have created a critical need to address serious long-term health complications, such as valvular heart disease (VHD). Objective To identify treatment-related risk factors for VHD in a large European cohort of long-term childhood cancer survivors. Design, Setting, and Participants This nested case-control study used data from the PanC
BACKGROUND: Postmortem MRI has opened-up avenues to study brain structure at ultra high-resolution revealing details not possible to observe with in vivo MRI. Here, we present a novel package (purple-mri) which performs tissue segmentation, anatomical parcellation and spatial normalization of postmortem MRI. Additionally, we provide a framework to perform point-wise surface-based group-level studi
Background: Myocardium at risk (MaR) can be evaluated by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging using contrast-enhanced steady state free precession (CE-SSFP) in patients after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, CE-SSFP utilizes gadolinium contrast, which is contraindicated in patients with severe renal insufficiency. Native T1-mapping is a non-contrast CMR method which
Background: SARS-CoV-2 remains globally circulating, yet post-pandemic comprehensive molecular, serological, and population-level immunity data from low-resource settings such as Ethiopia are limited. This study employed genomic surveillance with seroepidemiological assessment to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among individuals presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe a
Background: Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) enables non-invasive quantification of cardiac output (CO) and thereby cardiac index (CI, CO indexed to body surface area). The aim of this study was to establish if CI decreases with age and compare the values to CI for athletes and for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods: CI was measured in 144 healthy volunteers (39 +/- 16 ye
The source contributions to carbonaceous PM2.5 aerosol were investigated at a European background site at the edge of the Po Valley, in Northern Italy, during the period January-December 2007. Carbonaceous aerosol was described as the sum of 8 source components: primary (1) and secondary (2) biomass burning organic carbon, biomass burning elemental carbon (3), primary (4) and secondary (5) fossil

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended by guidelines to evaluate the severity of brain ischemia after cardiac arrest for functional outcome prediction. However, standardized assessment criteria are lacking. We have developed a semi-quantitative Cardiac Arrest Brain Ischemia (CABI) score to assess the extension of brain ischemia on MRI. Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic pe

In an urbanizing world, challenged by climate change and rising temperatures, street vegetation can help mitigate urban temperatures. However, scaling the understanding of street vegetation’s cooling effects from local observations to the city level introduces challenges. While several studies have assessed the influence of street greenery on land surface temperature (LST) at the city scale using

Background: Several attempts to increase the locoregional control in locally advanced lung cancer including concurrent chemotherapy, accelerated fractionation and dose escalation have been made during the last years. As the EGFR directed antibody cetuximab has shown activity concurrent with radiotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, as well as in stage IV NSCLC combined with che
33Background: PSMA PET has been shown to detect more metastasis and alter management at biochemical recurrence (BCR), but it remains to be determined that it changes oncologic outcome. We assessed the quantitative parameters on 18F-DCFPyL PET at BCR and evaluated their association with tumor volume, metastatic locations with the subsequent biochemical progression free survival (bPFS). Methods: Thi
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has traditionally been preferred over computed tomography (CT) for segmentation of intracranial structures due to its superior low contrast resolution. However, a reliable CT-based segmentation could improve patient management when MRI is not practical. Despite advancements in CT imaging, such as enhanced tissue differentiation using virtual monoenerget
Background: Mammography screening programmes have been widely implemented across European countries over the past 40 years with the main aim to detect breast cancer earlier and thereby reduce breast cancer mortality. This study aimed to analyse and compare changes over time in breast cancer incidence, by stage at diagnosis, and breast cancer mortality across countries in relation to the timing of
This study aims to explore the experiences women face due to the criminalisation of abortions in the United States. It presents a thematic analysis of the criminalisation of abortion through a feminist framework, examining its profound implications on women's lives. Utilizing secondary data from social media platforms and news outlets, this research will also employ netnography and ethnography
