Celiac disease etiopathogenesis requires genetic predisposition and exposure to gluten, yet these factors alone are not sufficient. Larger longitudinal studies are needed to determine the role of time-varying infections and gut microorganisms. The aim was to design a celiac disease case-cohort longitudinal study using The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. By age 3-
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
Cubosomes are self-assembled lipid nanoparticles with a unique structure that hold significant promise for drug delivery. Cubosomes can encapsulate and transport a wide range of pharmaceuticals and imaging agents, potentially enhancing targeted therapies and medical imaging applications. Although there is growing interest in using cubosomes as drug delivery vehicles, their interactions with biolog
—Methods for estimating radiological consequences in terms of radiation doses and cancer risks are needed for informed decisions on mitigation efforts after a radionuclide event. The 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident fallout in Sweden was used as a case study. Open-source data on annual sex-specific population data in 1-y classes by municipality (n = 290), counties (n = 21), and future p
Abstract – Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with Africa bearing a disproportionately high burden of poor outcomes. In sub-Saharan Africa, acute stroke care remains inconsistent, with organized stroke units being either absent or rarely available, contributing to the high stroke mortality rates in the region. To address this issue, the Tanzania Stroke Pro
Diffraction gratings are among the most fundamental optical elements. They are essential in ultrafast optics for manipulating the spectral phase of coherent ultrashort light pulses in grating stretchers, compressors, and pulse shapers. In this work, we have exploited an effect associated with diffraction from a single grating, which can produce large amounts of spatially dependent GDD. Leveraging
Intro: Population-based studies predominantly focused on carcinoma of the parotid gland (CPG) are rare. The study aims were to analyze the incidence of CPG and to assess treatment outcomes in relation to histopathology, preoperative diagnosis and adjuvant radiotherapy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from the Swedish Head and Neck Cancer Register (SweHNCR), including 1,018
Numerous studies show an association between military pressures and fiscal development, often based on cross-national correlations between wars and fiscal outcomes (e.g., tax ratios). However, investments in fiscal capacity may take time to yield higher tax revenues, obscuring the importance of factors that contributed to those investments. This article shifts attention from fiscal outcomes to the
The production yields of the orbitally excited charm-strange mesons (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) were measured for the first time in proton-proton (pp) collisions at a center-of-mass energy of (Formula presented) with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) mesons were measured at midrapidity ((Formula presented)) in minimum-bias and high-mul
Aim: Many populations of migratory birds are currently declining. Understanding space use throughout the entire annual cycle, as well as migratory connectivity (i.e., geographic linkage of individuals and populations across different stages of the annual cycle), can improve our ability to identify factors driving population declines and influencing extinction risk. The main objectives of our study
In multiple-planet systems, gravitational interactions of exoplanets could lead to transit timing variations (TTVs), whose amplitude becomes significantly enhanced when planets are in or near mean-motion resonances (MMRs), making them more easily detectable. In cases where both TTVs and radial velocity (RV) measurements are available, combined analysis can break degeneracies and provide robust pla
Background: Globally, undernutrition is responsible for over 3.5 million deaths among children under the age of 5. In Mozambique, it remains a major contributing factor to the high rates of child mortality and illness. Essential micronutrients like zinc, iron, and calcium play a vital role in healthy growth and development. However, their absorption is hindered by anti-nutrients such as phytates,
BackgroundThe Job Demand–Control–Support (JD-C-S) model evaluates how psychosocial work factors affect health and performance. We examined how demographics, job title, and experience influence demand, control, and support among Ghanaian pharmacy staff.MethodsA cross-sectional survey of pharmacy personnel from Tamale and Sagnerigu was conducted using the JD-C-S questionnaire. Demand and control ite
Popular Abstract in Swedish Främmande arter är sådana som introducerats med människans hjälp till områden de inte kan sprida sig till på egen hand. Om en introducerad art är framgångsrik och lyckas etablera och sprida sig i mottagarregionen kan den påverka de inhemska arterna genom predation, konkurrens, hybridisering, parasitism och förändring av habitat. Eftersom arterna i mottagarområdet inte hWe live in a globalised world where people and goods travel large distances. Various species are brought along on these journeys, intentionally or as hitchhikers. Some of these species establish populations in regions to which they could not have spread without human assistance, and where they are considered to be non indigenous species (NIS). These species can affect the ecosystem in the recipien
This paper seeks to explain the persistence of inner-city deprivation in spite of sustained regeneration efforts, through demonstrating how urban regeneration policies are embedded in peculiar political-institutional power dynamics that actually contribute to the further disempowerment of the already disempowered groups in inner cities. The reconstruction of the post-war planning history of one sp
The aim of this study is to generate a quality-controlled sub-kilometer dataset of the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) across Scandinavia from satellite. FAPAR is required for estimating the amount of PAR absorbed (APAR) by vegetation, which in turn allows for estimation of carbon uptake. In this study, FA-PAR was modeled from normalized difference vegetation index
