Disenchantment, reenchantment: Changing interpretations of visions and visionaries in early modern SwedenI analyse the changing interpretations of visions and visionaries in Sweden between the sixteenth and early nineteenth centuries, arguing that before 1700 they were primarily viewed in terms of a demonological discourse, although a more positive interest was also evident among the peasantry and
BackgroundThe lack of effective screening methods for the detection of ovarian cancer leads to late diagnosis and poor outcomes. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) is strongly dominated by copy number alterations (CNAs), resulting from underlying mutational processes. Several studies have reported the detection of ovarian carcinoma-derived somatic mutations in cervical samples, uterine lav
An outpouring of scholarly editions: Media history perspectives on the editing of historical sources in Sweden, 1834–1847This article examines the scholarly editing of historical sources for publication in nineteenth-century Sweden. The analysis focuses on the approximately 500 letters exchanged between Hans Järta, the Director General of the National Archives of Sweden, and Bror Emil Hildebrand,
Songbird migration involves frequent migratory flights interrupted by several days of stopover to refuel. For first-year migratory birds, this entails stopping in unfamiliar locations to exploit local resources and maximise fuelling rates. However, stopovers also pose mortality risks due to predator presence. We aimed to determine whether auditory cues from avian predators with differing hunting s
Quantum information science has leaped forward with the exploration of high-dimensional quantum systems, offering greater potential than traditional qubits in quantum communication and quantum computing. To advance the field of high-dimensional quantum technology, a significant effort is underway to progressively enhance the entanglement dimension between two particles. An alternative effective st
INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer, a leading female cancer worldwide, can be influenced by mitochondrial dysfunction. Dysregulation of mitochondria by the nuclear genome may cause breast cancer initiation and progression. However, the comprehensive investigation of mitochondrial-related genes as prognostic marker for the overall survival of early-stage breast cancer patients is still limited.METHODS: To
BACKGROUND: Leukocytes have been reported to have tumor stimulating effects in colorectal cancer, among other malignancies. In line with this, earlier research has shown improved disease-free survival in patients with postoperative neutropenia compared to non-neutropenic patients following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hypertherm intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).AIM: To evaluate the impact o
Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH4) budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. CH4 is the second most important human-influenced greenhouse gas in terms of climate forcing after carbon dioxide (CO2), and both emissions and atmospheric concentrations of CH4 have continued to increase since 2007 after a temporary pause. The relative importance

We present a newly funded research program, DESCRYPT, aimed at deciphering and analyzing historical texts with rare or unknown scripts. The project leverages advancements in computational linguistics, artificial intelligence (AI), and image processing, alongside traditional philological methods, to develop innovative tools for transcription, recognition, and interpretation of historical writings w
Research on parapsychological (psi) phenomena is very relevant in the discussion of whether mental processes might go beyond the known limits of brain capacities. Nonetheless, most scientific and philosophical discussions of mind-brain relations do not even mention such research, despite showing similar empirical robustness to that of acknowledged mainstream research in psychology, medicine, and t
BACKGROUNDRecanalization sometimes fails during endovascular thrombectomy due to target vessel access failure. Two‐dimensional/3‐dimensional fusion imaging in the Siemens ARTIS Icono biplane platform may facilitate access by fusing the preoperative computed tomography angiography with procedural imaging. This observational study aimed to evaluate vascular access, success rates, and procedure times
BACKGROUND: Medium vessel occlusions (MeVO) can be either isolated events (primary), or secondary to thrombus migration from a large vessel occlusion to a medium-sized vessel. Outcomes following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) may differ between primary and secondary MeVOs. This study aimed to assess the association between primary/secondary MeVOs and clinical o
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) carries the highest mortality and morbidity of all stroke types. Although small vessel disease accounts for the majority of ICH, there is a broad spectrum of other etiologies. Modern imaging techniques are a cornerstone of the work-up process. The goals of acute management are to prevent hematoma expansion, stabilize and prevent failure of vital functions, and establ
Introduction: Patients with substantial comorbidity burden are underrepresented in clinical trials on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), despite being common in clinical routine care. Therefore, analysis of observational data is needed to evaluate how increasing comorbidity burden affects procedural success rate, complication rate, and clinical outcome following EVT. Patients and methods: We conduct
AIMS: Patients with heart failure (HF) and iron deficiency experience poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We evaluated the impact of intravenous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) vs. placebo on HRQoL for the AFFIRM-AHF population.METHODS AND RESULTS: The baseline 12-item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12), which was completed for 1058 (535 and 523) patients in the FCM and p
BACKGROUND: Long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for bifurcation lesions are underexplored. We investigated long-term PCI outcomes for proximal LAD bifurcation lesions involving D1.METHODS: Using Swedish registries, we included all patients undergoing LAD-D1 bifurcation PCI with drug-eluting stents between 2010 and 2020. Patients were stratified into two groups: simple PC
