BACKGROUND: The first 35 years of pediatric heart transplantation (pHTx) in Sweden were investigated to determine outcomes following listing and transplantation, investigate sub-populations of recipients, and describe the presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in a contemporary cohort.METHODS: Swedish children < 18 years, listed from 1/1/1989 to 31/12/2023, were included. The cohort was split
Side-channel attacks exploiting Plaintext-Checking (PC) and Decryption Failure (DF) oracles are a pressing threat to deployed post-quantum cryptography. These oracles can be instantiated from tangible leakage sources like timing, power, and microarchitectural behaviors, making them a practical concern for leading schemes based on lattices, codes, and isogenies. In this paper, we revisit chosen-cip
Introduction: Traumatic axonal injury (TAI), often caused by rapid rotational forces and high-energy accidents, is common in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). The intracranial pressure (ICP) dynamics are often unpredictable, and the need for ICP monitoring remains debated. Research question: What is the incidence of ICP elevation in patients with TAI, and how often is escalated ICP-lowering tr
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly diagnosed early, close to its first occurrence due to: (i) increased public awareness with self-screening; (ii) health care initiatives including population screening and opportunistic case finding; and (iii) increased use and surveillance of implantable cardiac devices. At its onset, AF is often low burden, and cardiovascular co-morbidities may be absent o
Neophobia, or aversion to novelty, is important for adaptability and survival as it influences the ways in which animals navigate risk and interact with their environments. Across individuals, species and other taxonomic levels, neophobia is known to vary considerably, but our understanding of the wider ecological drivers of neophobia is hampered by a lack of comparative multispecies studies using
Why, despite decades of warnings and solutions, does unsustainable consumption still persist? What keeps societies locked into business as usual even when the consequences are clear? This book contends that part of the answer lies in the myths we adhere to – powerful narratives that normalise the status quo, limit imagination and delay the transition to sustainability. Gathering leading scholars f
BackgroundPediatric heart-lung transplantation (pHLTx) remains the only treatment option for children with significant and fixed elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in the setting of uncorrectable end-stage heart disease. We aimed to determine the characteristics, waiting list course and long-term outcomes for children listed for pHLTx within the Scandiatransplant region.MethodsThis w
BACKGROUND: Several radiological societies in Europe have so far spoken out in favor of MRI of the small intestine over CT, since MRI is said to provide more detailed image information. Due to the limited availability of MRI machines, long waiting times arise for many patients who clinically require small bowel imaging.OBJECTIVES: These circumstances guided our search for an improved CT technique
Multi-electron donation remains a challenge for CO2 photocatalytic conversion to multi-electron products due to the efficient Auger recombination or annihilation at multiple excitation conditions for conventional molecules or semiconductor photocatalysts. In this paper, we demonstrated possible multi-electron donation within a quantum dot (QD)/metal complex hybrid photocatalyst system when multipl
With the ever growing requirement for higher data rates, terminals supporting multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technologies (or MIMO terminals) are being developed for the beyond-3G wireless communication systems such as HSPA and LTE. To ensure that the terminals are capable of delivering the promises of MIMO technology, test systems for the performance evaluation of MIMO devices are needed.
