Purpose: Positron emission tomography (PET) is increasingly used in neuro-oncology. However, little is known about its application across European institutions and reasons for variable implementation. Methods: Between June and August 2024, members of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Brain Tumour Group (EORTC-BTG) completed a cross-sectional online survey on PET use

Rapid developments in animal-tracking technology have enabled major advances in the field of movement ecology, which seeks to understand the drivers and consequences of movement across scales, taxa, and ecosystems. The field has made ground-breaking discoveries, yet the majority of studies in movement ecology remain reliant on observational approaches. While important, observational studies are li

Objectives: To date, there are no clear guidelines in the literature on protocols for pediatric vestibular testing, and approaches may differ between teams. The objective of this study was to establish a consensus guideline for the minimum pediatric vestibular tests that should be conducted in both expert and non-expert centers. Methods: The leadership group identified 21 international experts in

Researchers selecting probands for molecular genetic studies confront a range of sampling issues with modest empirical guidance. In this paper, using cases of major depression (MD), anxiety disorders (AD) alcohol use disorder (AUD), drug use disorder (DUD), bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ) from a large population cohort of all native Swedes born 1940–2003, we examine the implications o

Differences between men and women in cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration are not yet well understood. Although sex differences in brain structure abnormalities, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and grey matter (GM) atrophy, have been associated with cognitive decline in the ageing population, the evidence is limited and inconclusive. Therefore, we explored sex differences in br

Rapporten behandlar implementeringen av den kanadensisk-amerikanska trygghetsmetoden SafeGrowth som skedde i samarbete mellan företaget och Helsingborgs stad. Projektet följde implementeringen med hjälp av observationer och dokumentstudier, samt intervjuer. Projektets resultat visade att metoden innehåller många fördelar, som att man arbetar utifrån invånare och den aktuella problematiken. Resulta

Objective: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of serous and mucinous cystadenomas in the adnexa. Methods: This was a retrospective international multicenter study. Using the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) database, patients with a histological diagnosis of serous or mucinous cystadenoma who had undergone preoperative ultrasound examination between 1999 and 2016 (I

The turn of the twentieth century was a period of rapid decline in infant- and child mortality and a time of industrialization and urbanization in Sweden. It was also a period of growing social disparities in childhood mortality. The inequality in child survival was connected to a range of factors, including access to water- and sanitation, housing conditions, infant care, and possibly nutrition.

Aim: To evaluate (1) whether three migratory nightjar species (Family Caprimulgidae) adhere to Bergmann's rule, (2) whether environmental factors on the breeding or wintering grounds determine body size, and (3) which mechanistic hypotheses best explain Bergmannian patterns in body size. Location: North and South America; Europe and Africa. Taxon: Eastern whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferus), Co

Wind turbines are important for achieving renewable energy goals, but present a considerable threat to wildlife, especially birds and bats. This study reports 41 confirmed collisions of GPS-tracked Red Kites (Milvus milvus) with wind turbines across Europe (2017–2024). We compared environmental and turbine-specific factors during collisions and non-collision movements within 500 m of turbines. Col

Sepsis remains a major clinical challenge due to the limited efficacy of existing therapies in controlling excessive inflammation. The engineered stapled peptide sHVF18, derived from an evolutionarily conserved thrombin innate fold, binds both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the LPS-binding groove of CD14, enabling dual targeting of bacterial components and host immune signaling. To define structural

This study explores systemic barriers and enablers of post-growth food enterprises in Australia. We analyse three different case studies that offer alternative models of entrepreneurial approaches for achieving sustainability outcomes as a higher priority than economic growth. We identified three post-growth food enterprises that operate at different stages of the food supply chain. We found that

Risken är överhängande att folkmordet på palestinierna sprids till Västbanken. Våldet har ökat och hela området riskerar att annekteras av Israel, skriver Helena Lindholm och Nina Gren.

Microbial contamination in coastal environments and groundwater is explored within this thesis, focusing onfecal contamination from anthropogenic sources and microbial community dynamics. The spread andpersistence of microbial contaminants in complex aquatic environments with multiple intermittent and pointsources of contamination, was studied in order to lay a groundwork for developing more robus
