Introduction To assess how national income level influences global variation in the diagnosis and management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods A web-based survey on HFpEF diagnosis and treatment was distributed worldwide from May to July 2023 through email, scientific societies, and social networks. Respondents provided demographic information and details on diagno
In recent years, the issue of the climate has aroused exponentially increasing interest and it is a common priority on the political agenda worldwide. The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is the first and largest international system of trading with carbon emissions and it is sometimes described as the cornerstone in EU climate policy to combat climate change with its main objectiv
This paper analysed differences in social capital between grade 12 students in Tallinn, Estonia based on whether they had primarily studied in Estonian or Russian since grade 1. Social capital was conceptualized by utilising five categories commonly used to measure social capital: trust, group membership and participation, altruism and political engagement, shared norms, and informal interaction.
China’s space economy is highly fragmented with a few mega cities and a large periphery with less advantageous cities lagging behind. While this have been the explicit approach of China’s policymakers to achieve rapid growth, less developed cities have been challenged as the suppliers in the process. The purpose of this paper is with the use of a production function examine the spatial spill overs
The International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) announced the list of The Second 100 IUGS Geological Heritage Sites at the 37th International Geological Congress (IGC) in Busan, Republic of Korea. The announcement was made by IUGS President John Ludden, Stanley Finney, IUGS Secretary General, and Asier Hilario chair of the International Commission on Geoheritage on August 27th during an spec

Att upptäckten av insulinet 1921 var värt ett nobelpris var tämligen oomstritt. Men vem skulle lönas? När Nobelkommittén 1923 hade bestämt sig flammade protesterna upp. Jag var först, hävdade några. Inte ens i gruppen som ärades var man nöjda. Likväl - 14 november, pristagaren Frederick Bantings födelsedag , är till hans ära utnämnd till Världsdiabetesdagen. Frederick Banting har gått till histori

Background The prognosis in adults with congenital aortic valve disease is usually favourable; nevertheless, a number of medical and social factors might hamper long-term prognosis and quality of life. With a focus on physical exercise level, data from the Swedish National Registry on Congenital Heart Disease (SWEDCON) were analysed and variables associated with health-related quality of life in a
Human activity is a major driver of change and has contributed to many of the challenges we face today. Detailed information about human population distribution is fundamental and use of freely available, high-resolution, gridded datasets on global population as a source of such information is increasing. However, there is little research to guide users in dataset choice. This study evaluates five
The European energy transition entails opportunities to mitigate two of the EU’s most pressing current challenges: climate change and the energy crisis due to the dependency on fossil fuel imports. The EU has committed to limiting global warming to 2°C (preferably 1.5°C), compared to pre-industrial levels. In the context of the European Green Deal, the EU has set the objective to reach climate neu

The etiology of idiopathic scoliosis remains unknown, but growth is a risk factor for progression. Growth pattern differs in children with and without scoliosis. Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) may be associated with scoliosis and growth. We, therefore, studied COMP in children with and without idiopathic scoliosis. We included 105 children, with mean age 14.4 years (range 10-16), under
Objective. To determine whether work performed with the arms in a highly elevated position is associated with alterations in the rotator cuff tendons as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods. A cross-sectional study was performed in a historical cohort of male machinists, car mechanics, and house painters. The participants were right-handed, ages 40-50 years, and had been employed
The concentration of soluble HLA class I (sHLA-I) was measured by ELISA in serum samples from 30 well-characterised SLE patients at high and low disease activity states and from 100 healthy controls. HLA-A allotypes in the patients were analysed by a PCR-based typing technique. A higher level of sHLA-I was found in SLE patient sera both at high and low disease activity than in controls (P< 0.001).
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är resultatet av ett doktorandprojekt vid Kvartärgeologiska avdelningen, Lunds Universitet. Syftet med undersökningen var att rekonstruera vegetations-, klimat- och havsnivåförändringar på Skagi-halvön, norra Island, under sen-Weichsel och tidig-Holocen. Nordatlantområdet genomgick en serie dramatiska klimatväxlingar i samband med övergången från den sSediment sequences from five lakes on the Skagi peninsula, northern Iceland, were subjected to mineral magnetic analysis, carbon analysis, pollen analysis, plant macrofossil analysis, diatom analysis, radiocarbon dating and tephra analysis in order to make detailed reconstructions of vegetation, climate and sea level during the Late Weichselian and Early Holocene. The main purpose was to investiga
A new approach for obtaining an estimate of the effective size of the free neutral clusters is proposed. The approach relies on an experimental measure of the surface and interior or "bulk" cluster atoms provided by the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and on a model for the attenuation of photoelectrons ejected from the bulk of the cluster as the result of the ionizing irradiation. The experiment
While the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 level on starch and sugar metabolism have been extensively studied in different plants, the effect on plant lipid metabolism concerns only a few studies and none of these are on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This study of the lipid composition in seeds and leaves of A. thaliana is therefore of interest when trying to predict how the future envi
Disruption of the ZWF1 gene encoding glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) has been shown to reduce the xylitol yield and the xylose consumption in the xylose-utilizing recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain TMB3255. In the present investigation we have studied the influence of different production levels of G6PDH on xylose fermentation. We used a synthetic promoter library and the copper
Background and Objectives. Thalidomide modulates the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha). Soluble TNF receptors, TNFR p55 and TNFR p75, modify TNF-a activity. In this study, we explored the relation between soluble TNF receptors and outcome in patients with advanced multiple myeloma treated with thalidomide. Design and Methods. The levels of soluble TNF receptor p55 and p75 were assess
