BACKGROUND: Treatment decisions in metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare life-threatening neurological disease, are challenging. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or autologous stem-cell-based gene therapy can be life-changing but come with uncertainties, risks, and high costs. To address this, the international MLD treatment eligibility panel was established in collaboration with the E

OBJECTIVES: Loneliness and social isolation are major public health concerns that contribute to numerous health consequences. While many interventions effectively reduce loneliness and social isolation, their cost-effectiveness remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate and consolidate evidence on the cost-effectiveness of interventions addressing loneliness or social isolation.METHODS: We condu

Objective: To assess whether there is an association between total prescribed dosage of resistance exercise (volume, frequency, intensity, and duration) and change in pain and physical function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Method: A systematic review with meta-regression was conducted, searching MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until December

The rise of far-right anti-gender movements has become increasingly visible, particularly in Europe, with the surge of far-right actors in last elections. Additionally, we are witnessing the development of various global crises, including wars, genocide, and harshened migration policies in the Global North. This shift coalesces with a time when feminist, queer and anti-racist movements have gather

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of preoperative imaging in the diagnosis of cardiophrenic lymph node (CPLN) metastases and to report perioperative outcomes after resection of CPLN at the time of cytoreductive surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Furthermore, to assess clearance of CPLN by postoperative imaging. Methods: All women with stage IIIC/IV EOC subjected to surgery at

The surgical repair of congenital heart defects in children with preoperative pulmonary hypertension (PH) is to varying degree associated with the occurrence of postoperative PH. The objective of this study was to follow up children with severe postoperative PH (pulmonary arterial/aortic pressure ratio ≥ 1.0) to evaluate if pulmonary arterial pressure spontaneously normalized or needed PH-targetin

Globalization and commodification trends in football negatively impact the climate in terms of greenhouse gas emissions from leagues and international tournaments. A significant share of these emissions stem from the flying of teams, staff and fans. Using Norway as a case study, we ask what a national football federation is doing and could be doing to reduce its ecological footprint from air trave

Correlations in azimuthal angle extending over a long range in pseudorapidity between particles, usually called the “ridge” phenomenon, were discovered in heavy-ion collisions, and later found in pp and p–Pb collisions. In large systems, they are thought to arise from the expansion (collective flow) of the produced particles. Extending these measurements over a wider range in pseudorapidity and fi

Background: Kigali, Rwanda’s rapidly growing capital, faces major challenges in household-level Fecal Sludge Management (FSM), with over 89% of households using pit latrines and only 48% accessing unshared sanitation. FSM services are limited, costly, and poorly executed, leading to frequent illegal dumping. Objective: This review analyzes the literature on sanitation in Kigali to identify key gap

Observations of low-mass stars have frequently shown a disagreement between observed stellar radii and radii predicted by theoretical stellar structure models. This ‘radius inflation’ problem could have an impact on both stellar and exoplanetary science. We present the final results of our observation programme with the CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) to obtain high-precision light cur

This paper describes a measurement of the jet radius dependence of the dijet momentum balance between leading back-to-back jets in Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions collected in 2018 and Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions collected in 2017 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Both datasets were collected at Formula Presented TeV. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-Fo

Amid a global housing crisis that leaves more than 1.6 billion people inadequately housed, dominant legal and policy frameworks still define “adequate housing” largely in terms of fixed outcomes such as tenure security, affordability, and habitability. This thesis argues that these lists overlook a critical dimension: people’s housing agency, the real freedom to shape their housing situation. Grou

This study examines how the use of leverage conditions both market-based and operational outcomes in U.S. equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), with particular focus on the period surrounding the 2022-2023 monetary tightening cycle. Despite REITs' prominence as capital-intensive, payout-constrained institutions, little empirical research has explored how their capital structure choices
