Background: Studies in breast cancer patients have consistently shown that physical activity improves survival. We examined if change in physical activity from before to after a breast cancer diagnosis is associated with outpatient specialist care use and hospitalisations in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: This register-based cohort study included 2145 women with T2DM who self
Introduction: Cell-free DNA is an emerging marker of allograft injury, yet its role in the immediate phase of ischemia–reperfusion injury remains incompletely understood.Methods: In this prospective cohort of 127 kidney transplant recipients (86 deceased donors, 41 living donors), intraoperative plasma samples were collected systemically pre-implantation and from the allograft vein postreperfusion
The expansion of the electric vehicle industry is driving increased demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which in turn creates challenges in material availability and waste management that more durable LIBs could address. Electrode surface coating helps extend LIB lifespan, with atomic layered deposition (ALD) as the preferred method due to its precise thickness control and ability to coat var
The growing complexity of urban energy systems, climate uncertainties, and geopolitical disruptions highlight the need for energy flexibility and smart management. Recent developments in smart buildings enable real-time adaptability and collective energy behavior through the deployment of Reinforcement Learning (RL), which optimizes energy use, integrates distributed resources, and enhances demand
The dispersion-scan technique (d-scan) is a well-established technique for the measurement of ultrashort laser pulses. While a single-shot version of d-scan is relatively easy to implement for sub-10 fs laser pulses, this becomes increasingly difficult as the pulse duration increases due to the need for a larger dispersion range, which scales quadratically with the Fourier transform limit (FTL). H
Insulin resistance (IR) contributes to atherogenic dyslipidemia and elevated ASCVD risk. Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1)-associated lipoproteins have diverse anti-atherogenic functions, but it is unclear whether IR drives adverse changes in their proteomic composition. We hypothesized that IR is associated with an atherogenic ApoA1 proteome and that insulin-sensitizing interventions would improve its co
Photonic topological insulators and self-induced nonreciprocity based on nonlinear effects in asymmetric structures have garnered increased attention due to their potential applications in quantum information technologies and advanced photonic integrated circuits. In this study, we combine these two fields and present asymmetric photonic crystal designs based on all-dielectric checkerboard structu
BACKGROUND: Digital technologies are increasingly central to supporting autonomy, health, and social participation in later life. However, disparities persist in the ability to keep up with technological developments, affecting individuals' opportunities to benefit from digital health and social innovations.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate factors associated with individuals' self-report
Carbon Black (CB), graphene, and nanodiamonds represent three classes of manufactured carbonaceous nanoparticles consisting almost exclusively of insoluble material. Particle-related Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) have been linked to in vivo and in vitro toxicity and determining particle ROS activity is an efficient way of estimating nanomaterial toxicity and assist in the safe-by-design developmen
Objective Delivery of a small for gestational age (SGA) infant is a common pregnancy complication among women with SLE. Although disease activity and autoantibodies such as anti-Smith and anti-ribonucleoprotein associate with SGA, underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear and reliable predictors are lacking. To address this, we applied a proteomic approach to identify proteins associated w
Residential gardens can provide pollinator habitat and thus contribute to mitigating declines of insect pollinators. To further improve gardens for pollinators, it is necessary to understand the factors and pathways leading to successful conservation interventions. We studied how the success of two common pro-pollinator interventions, garden meadows and flower plantings, were influenced by gardene
Background Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and restrictive spirometry pattern (RSP) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) measures small airway function more sensitively than spirometry. We aim to study the prevalence of abnormal IOS findings in relation to three spirometry patterns (obstructive, PRI
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular calcification is a significant predictor and contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in microcalcification formation. EVs can originate from the endosomal system, and PIKFYVE (1-phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase), a lipid kinase, plays a key role in endomembrane maturation.
Tudo o que comemos gera impactos ambientais: do uso do solo na lavoura, passando pelo transporte, processamento, consumo e descarte de embalagens e resíduos. Entender esse impacto ambiental da alimentação é complexo, mas já existem informações suficientes para orientar decisões mais bem informadas.
Objective: Childhood stunting is a significant health issue in Rwanda, particularly within the Northern Province. While demographic and socio-economic factors have been more extensively studied, the impact of environmental and climatic factors on stunting prevalence has received less attention. This study aimed to determine if these factors could be used to better predict localized variations in h
Introduction: It is well known that urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy is associated with preterm birth, but information about the risk of preterm birth depending on gestational week of infection is sparingly described in the literature. Material and Methods: An observational study based on data from Swedish registers including women giving birth 2014–2020 (n = 684 595). Pregnant women
Objective: To describe longitudinal changes of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) features in the medial vs lateral tibiofemoral (TF) and patellofemoral (PF) compartments, in knees with no radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) at baseline. Design: In 340 individuals from the Osteoarthritis Initiative aged 45–55 years (51% women) with 430 knees at risk for OA and 250 not at risk, we assessed MRI scans of
