"It's about survival, love and care" - parents' experiences of living with a child with ARFID : a Swedish interview study

BACKGROUND: A child with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) has a diet so limited that it leads to medical, nutritional, and/or psychosocial problems. ARFID affects both children and their families, often causing parents to feel anxious and isolated. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Swedish parents raising a child with ARFID.METHOD: Data were generated through semi-str

Vaccine Knowledge and Awareness Among Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Diseases : Results From a Nordic Survey

A survey on vaccinations was conducted among patients with chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs), including inflammatory bowel disease, inflammatory rheumatological diseases, and dermatological diseases (DDs). The objective was to identify differences between established vaccination guidelines and actual practices in healthcare as experienced by patients. Among eligible responders (n = 1434), 57% w

A comprehensive review of six dietary polyphenols in colorectal cancer : Pharmacokinetics, mechanism and therapeutic potentials

Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health challenge with high morbidity and mortality despite advances in detection and treatment. Dietary polyphenols are secondary metabolites widely found in plant-derived foods and beverages, and have gained attention for their potential in CRC prevention and therapy due to their diverse biological activities. Methods This review synthesiz

National context and the security turn in international research collaboration : evidence from South Korea

Against the backdrop of growing geopolitical challenges, many countries are re-examining international scientific cooperation through the lens of national security. The security turn in research collaboration and exchange in higher education has prompted policy debates over the future of global science. More can be learned about this security turn by examining a society in which national security

Test–retest reliability and construct validity of a Japanese version of the Satisfaction with Daily Occupations and Occupational Balance for people with mental illness

Background: Japan lacks efficient assessment tools for occupational balance (OB) in people with mental illness (MI). Aims/objectives: We investigated the test–retest reliability and construct validity of a Japanese version of the Satisfaction with Daily Occupations and Occupational Balance (SDO-OB-J) for people with MI. Methods: SDO-OB-J interviews were conducted twice at a 2-week interval. Result

Being ‘That Token Gay Guy’ : Experiencing Minority Stress in Swedish Workplaces

Employers in Sweden are mandated to take active measures to prevent discrimination against sexual minorities. While it is important that relevant measures are taken, knowledge is lacking about cisgender lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people’s minority stress experiences at Swedish workplaces. The present work is based on a thematic analysis of interviews with 53 cisgender LGB participants, focus

Barriers or boosters? the role of governance pathways in deploying offshore carbon capture and storage : comparative implications from the EU and China

Offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment has been hailed as a game changer in the ever-changing climate game in the era of Paris Agreement. In the European Union (EU), rigorous regulation within a legal framework governs cross-border offshore CCS projects, while China adopts a flexible policy-oriented approach. This article employs a multi-method research approach, combining legal doct

On demand-responsive transport configurations, traveller interaction and preferences : a survey from the perspective of older people

Over the years, demand-responsive transport (DRT) and similar concepts have been implemented and tested in different environments and in different configurations. However, many of these transport services have been abandoned, for various reasons. Previous research shows that some of the most important success factors for a DRT service to sustain over the years are low-cost solutions adjusted to a

Convergence of the Dirichlet–Neumann alternating method for semilinear elliptic equations

The Dirichlet–Neumann alternating method is a common domain decomposition method for nonoverlapping domain decompositions without cross-points, and the method has been studied extensively for linear elliptic equations. However, for nonlinear elliptic equations, there are only convergence results for some specific cases in one spatial dimension. The aim of this manuscript is therefore to prove that

A Geometry-Based ISAC Channel Model for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Scenarios

The integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technique has recently gained significant attention in both academic and industrial sectors, as it can provide both sensing and communication functions using the same transmission and frequency spectrum. In this paper, a geometrically based statistical ISAC channel model for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) scenario is established, based on the ray tracing s

The Life Course of Abused Men—A Time-Geography Life-Chart Interview Study in a Psychiatric Care Context

Experience of abuse as a life event is common among men in a psychiatric care context. Systematically charting life events and abuse plays a central role within psychiatric and mental health nursing and could improve the understanding of the patient’s life situation. The aim of the study was to explore the life course of male psychiatric patients who had experienced domestic abuse as victims and a

Association between spouse health and cognitive function in older Chinese adults : a moderated mediation of frailty and activity engagement

Background: The accelerating global ageing phenomenon has given rise to a growing concern regarding cognitive decline in older adults. Research shows that spouse health is closely linked to individual well-being, as the physical and emotional health of one partner significantly affects the other. Although the connection between spousal health and older adults’ cognitive function has been recognize

How consistent are sick leave assessments? Variation among primary care physicians in Sweden

Introduction: Assessing work capacity and determining appropriate sick leave is a complex process. Despite the importance of fair and consistent assessments, evidence suggests that evaluations may vary. However, previous studies have been inconclusive and have mainly focused on whether sick leave should be recommended or not. The present study examined the medical reliability and consistency of ph

Healing the Nation : Christian Missionaries, Colonial Healthcare and Disease Prevention in Northern Rhodesia 1924-1960

Using newly digitised colonial medical time-series data, this study makes a first attempt to provide an overview of the development of Western healthcare in Northern Rhodesia. The data is used to elaborate on the extent of the Christian missionary medical outreach to the African populace and the involvement of the African medical workers in establishing and expanding the Western healthcare system

Cardiac diffusion kurtosis imaging in the human heart in vivo using 300 mT/m gradients

Purpose: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is commonly used in cardiac diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). However, the tissue's microstructure (cells, membranes, etc.) restricts the movement of the water molecules, making the spin displacements deviate from Gaussian behavior. This effect may be observed with diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) using sufficiently high b-values ((Formula present

Defending the Principle of the Best Interest of the Child as the Moral Standard for Restricting Social Contact Between Parents and Children in out-of-home Care

Whether or not to allow socialisation between parents and children in out-of-home care presents a difficult ethical challenge for those social work professionals who need to make an assessment about what to do. In this as well as in other contexts, it is widely assumed that the principle of the best interest of the child (BIC) is both the legal and moral standard for decision-making for children.

NNT deficiency alters cardiac structure and function without impairing mitochondrial bioenergetics in aged mice

Proton-translocating NAD(P)+ transhydrogenase (NNT) is highly expressed in cardiac tissue, where it physiologically supports mitochondrial NADPH production. However, under certain pathological conditions, NNT may shift toward consuming the mitochondrial NADPH pool. Although NNT has been implicated in redox homeostasis, its contribution to cardiac function during aging remains uncertain. In this st
