Objective: This study aims to investigate the perspectives and insights of health care professionals (HCPs) regarding the implementation of an eHealth intervention in pediatric health care while applying the NASSS framework to theorize and evaluate the conditions influencing the implementation of eHealth solutions.Methods: Semistructured interviews were performed with health care providers, includ
BackgroundGender stereotypes about women and men have a complementary structure, where women and men are seen as high/low in feminine characteristics and low/high in masculine characteristics. These stereotypes are related to representation within social roles, where beliefs about social role occupation influences which characteristics are associated with women or men. It is not known how people w
ObjectiveAs part of our research on Swedish school principals, we examined the concurrent validity between the Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS) and the Lund University Checklist for Incipient Exhaustion (LUCIE) in a cross-sectional study sample (N = 2670). Specifically, we examined: (a) to what extent LUCIE and KEDS identified the same individuals and their level of agreement, and (b) t
Background: Neurological injuries are frequent following Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) repair occurring in 4–30% of all patients. Our objective was to study whether S100B can predict neurological injury following ATAAD repair. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, observational study. The study included all patients that underwent ATAAD repair at our institution between Jan 19
Background: Women with current or previous drug use (WCPDU) have an increased risk of poor breast and cervical cancer outcomes. Screening is known to decrease the mortality of these common cancer forms, but screening participation has been sparsely investigated among women with drug dependency. The aim of this study was to assess participation in screening for breast and cervical cancer among WCPD
Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the western world, is the third most common cancer for both men and women. As a heterogeneous disease, colon cancer (CC) is caused by both genetic and epigenetic changes. The prognosis for CRC is affected by a variety of features, including late diagnosis, lymph node and distant metastasis. The cysteinyl leukotrienes (C
This chapter gives an introduction to the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) – a European Union (EU) policy tool introduced in 2009 with the purpose to set up and operate collaborative Research Infrastructures by granting them a legal personality and qualities of an international organization. The shared responsibility between the member states and the EU in the research and innova
The Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) consists of level of personality functioning (Criterion A) and maladaptive personality traits (Criterion B). The brief scale versions of these are understudied, while often being used by clinicians and researchers. In this study, we wanted to investigate the overlap and predictive validity of Criterion A and B. Participants (N = 253) wer
Introduction There has been a drastic increase in the reported number of people seeking help for gender dysphoria in many countries over the last two decades. Yet, our knowledge of gender dysphoria and related outcomes is restricted due to the lack of high-quality studies employing comprehensive approaches. This longitudinal study aims to enhance our knowledge of gender dysphoria; different aspect
AbstractAim: This study sought to investigate the hypothesis that children dying outside a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after PICU discharge have a limitation of medical treatment (LOMT) order in place, limiting PICU readmission at the time of death.Methods: A cohort was identified of all children (n=3890; 5019 admissions) treated in a PICU in Sweden over 3 consecutive years between Januar
Background: Optimal long-term follow-up (LTFU) care for survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult (CAYA) cancer can improve or maintain their quality of life by prevention and early treatment of late effects. However, optimal LTFU care is not provided to all CAYA cancer survivors. This systematic review sought to identify associated barriers, facilitators and other factors of LTFU care fo
Purpose: To explore the association of frailty with mortality, functional outcome, and health status after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Methods: This is a cohort-based secondary analysis of the Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (TTM2) trial, an international, prospective, multicentre study. Frailty was assessed using the Clinical Frailty Scale
Urbanization in coastal megacities leads to trade-offs between development and ecology, degrading carbon sinks and disrupting spatial-functional balance. Current models often fail to integrate land use, carbon dynamics, and ecological zoning. This study created a system that brings together Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS), Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVE
Violent offenders are a heterogeneous group where criminogenic needs often are substantial and violent behaviors persistent. Risk, Need, and Responsivity (RNR)-based treatment has shown effect on reducing the risk for recidivism in violent crime, but the development of novel treatments is crucial in making the change process more effective. Virtual Reality (VR) technology may be a tool to improve
Monitoring toxic elements has a long tradition in Slovenia due to historical mining. More recently, attention has shifted to essential elements, since both deficiencies and excesses can harm health. Regular monitoring of (non-)essential elements supports risk assessment and policymaking. While urine and blood are common biomonitoring matrices, hair offers a non-invasive alternative that reflects e
Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women of reproductive age worldwide, caused by dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiome. Despite its prevalence, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Although antibiotics are the standard therapy, recurrence rates are high, up to 50% within 1 year, and repe
The exponential rise in atmospheric CO₂ driven by human activities is accelerating climate change and causing ocean acidification (OA). While the effects of elevated CO₂ on a wide range of marine species have been well documented, the implications of OA for bivalve aquaculture have received comparatively little attention. Using a multi-level meta-analytical approach, we evaluated the impacts of tw
The laminar burning velocity (SL) of methane (CH4), the primary constituent of natural gas, is a key combustion property essential for validating combustion kinetic models. The present study focuses on the CH4 SL at the very rich side of flames, where the available experimental data are scarce with highly dispersed measurement conditions, and data projection was carried out to overcome the difficu
Daylight is crucial for the well-being of individuals in indoor environments, providing numerous physiological and psychological benefits. Achieving satisfactory daylight levels can be particularly challenging during adaptive reuse of existing buildings for new purposes. This study determined the feasibility of adapting an office for residential use by assessing interior daylight availability and
