Context: Women with Turner syndrome (TS) have high risk of cardiovascular complications and hypertensive disorders. Few studies have analyzed obstetric outcome in women with TS. Objective: This study compared obstetric outcome in women with TS karyotype with women in the general population. Design: The Swedish Genetic Turner Register was cross-linked with the Swedish Medical Birth Register between
Abstract in SpanishResumen: Interpretar a Peirce no constituyo más que el primer momento de una investigación seria de la iconicidad. También hay que tener en cuenta las aportaciones de la fenomenología de Husserl, de la psicología de percepción y de las ciencias cognoscitivas. Sobre todo, las antinomias interiores a la teoría semiótica y los argumentos críticos formulados entorno a la iconicidad

Abstract Background. Clinical treatment with radionuclides is usually preceded by biokinetic and dosimetry studies in small animals. Evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy is essential and must rely on accurate dosimetry, which in turn must be based on a realistic geometrical model that properly describes the transport of radiation. It is also important to include the source distribution in the do
The article takes its point of departure in a contemporary Scandinavian literary debate regarding the function and possible societal impact of climate-oriented poetry and prose. Against the ecocentric, anti-modernist and anti-formalist tenets dominating this debate, Friis and Thomsen want to examine how the formal aspects of literary texts might be relevant for ecocritical work. Through critical d
Cervical cancer is one of the most recurrent and dangerous female cancers in Algeria and worldwide. It is mainly caused by human papillomaviruses (HPV), which can induce other cancers as well. Although it can be fatal, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and manageable cancers. While HPV vaccination is the key weapon to win the battle against this pathology, it is still not approved in
Permanent ponds are key landscape units that supply various ecosystem services. Notably, the export of aquatic subsidies to land via emerging insects may significantly influence terrestrial food webs. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which enhance consumer fitness, are among the essential exported components. The patterns and drivers of dietary exports from ponds via insects remain poorly known
The global steel industry is a complex socio-technical system of strategicimportance, producing close to 10 percent of global emissions. Decarbonizing thissystem will significantly impact energy use, supply chain configurations, andinternational competitiveness, with geopolitical implications. Governments acrossthe world are therefore turning towards industrial policy to accelerate atransformation
Based on material collected with sweep nets, malaise traps and through rearing, the knowledge of the Swedish Chalcidoidea fauna is enhanced by new data on taxa occurring here, including new information on the biology for some of the species. Taxa reported as new to Sweden include one family (Neodiparidae), one genus (Neodipara Erdös) and 33 species in six families: Encyrtidae: Homalotylus platynas
BACKGROUND: Predicting major post-operative complications is an important task for which simple and reliable methods are lacking. A simple scoring system based on intraoperative heart rate, blood pressure and blood loss was recently developed to fill this gap. This system, the Surgical Apgar Score, shows promising results both in terms of validity and in terms of usefulness. The goal of this study

Manganese (Mn), an essential nutrient, is a neurotoxicant at high concentrations. We measured Mn concentrations in repeated blood and hair samples collected from 449 pregnant women living near banana plantations with extensive aerial spraying of Mn-containing fungicide mancozeb in Costa Rica, and examined environmental and lifestyle factors associated with these biomarkers. Mean blood Mn and geome
"Collection/Correction" is a publication edited by Jacob Korczynski that surveys Andrew James Paterson’s (Toronto, 1952) writings for the first time. Co-published by Kunstverein Toronto and Mousse Publishing, "Collection/Correction" is anchored upon a series of new and recent poems and also includes four of the scripts from his videos The Walking Philosopher (2001), Eating Regular (2004), 12 x 26
Carbohydrate quality might be more important than quantity to reduce type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. Various metrics of carbohydrate quality exist; however, their associations with T2D have only been studied to a limited extent. Consequently, the aim was to investigate the association between four different pre-defined carbohydrate quality indices, with various amounts of fiber (≥1 g) and free sugar (

We examined the effects of low stretch compression bandaging (CB) alone or in combination with manual lymph drainage (MLD) in 38 female patients with arm lymphedema after treatment for breast cancer. After CB therapy for 2 weeks (Part I), the patients were allocated to either CB or CB + MLD for 1 week (Part II). Arm volume and subjective assessments of pain, heaviness and tension were measured. Th
In this paper, I discuss resistance against antisemitism in relation to the overall antiracist struggle. Inspired by postcolonial theory and critical race studies, and by locating notions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, I show that antisemitism can be understood as a form of structural racism entangled with other racisms.

Medication can affect the gut microbiota composition and function. The aim of this study was to investigate connections between use of common non-antibiotic medicines and the gut microbiota composition and function in a large Swedish cohort (N = 2223). Use of 67 medications and polypharmacy (≥ 5 medications), based on self-reported and prescription registry data, were associated with the relative
Introduction: Proteomic analysis of injured human peripheral nerves, particularly focusing on events occurring in the proximal and distal nerve ends, remains relatively underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the molecular patterns underlying a digital nerve injury, focusing on differences in protein expression between the proximal and distal nerve ends. Methods: A total of 26 human injured
BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major public health issue causing chronic pain, impaired physical function, and reduced quality of life. As there is no cure, self-management of symptoms via exercise is recommended by all current international clinical guidelines. This review updates one published in 2015.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the effects of land-based exercise for people with kn
