The updated Consolidated Health Economics Evaluation Reporting Standards, CHEERS 2022, is considered the most comprehensive publication to assess reporting quality of economic evaluations (EEs) incorporating criteria of trial- and model-based studies, including emerging methods. However, it holds multiple criteria per item without clear decision rules on minimum requirements for complete reporting

Hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis delta virus (HDV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) remain leading drivers of chronic viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver-related mortality. This ESCMID Study Group for Viral Hepatitis (ESGVH) narrative review summarizes recent advances and expert perspectives in the field. For HBV, emerging biomarkers such as quantitative HBs antigen, HBV

BACKGROUND: – The clinical use of risk scores to guide treatment decisions and improve clinical outcomes has rarely been prospectively evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate whether a biomarker-based ABC-AF risk score–guided multidimensional treatment strategy improves long-term outcomes in patients with AF. METHODS: – The multicenter, registry-based, randomized, controlled, open-label study enro

Based on material collected with sweep nets, malaise traps and through rearing, the knowledge of the Swedish Chalcidoidea fauna is enhanced by new data on taxa occurring here, including new information on the biology for some of the species. Taxa reported as new to Sweden include one family (Neodiparidae), one genus (Neodipara Erdös) and 33 species in six families: Encyrtidae: Homalotylus platynas

Parasitic freshwater mussels are endangered ecosystem engineers with an array of impacts on multiple trophic levels and life stages. While the impacts of adult mussels on separate trophic levels have been studied, few have directly tested how adult mussels can impact trophic interactions, or investigated the impacts of the parasitic mussel larvae (glochidia) on such interactions. We present a labo

Although the moth fauna of South Sweden is relatively well known, information about the habitat preferences of species is scarce. To fill this gap and document the relative richness and conservation value of different habitats, 32,683 moth were caught in light traps at >200 sites in Central Skåne (prov. Scania). The relative frequency of species, major taxonomic groups and species with different f

Aim: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common and significant complication after voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) but the reported incidence in children varies highly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the rate and possible risk factors for UTIs after VCUG. Method: A multicentre retrospective cohort study of children < 15 years of age undergoing VCUG between 2017 and 2022 w

Time-of-flight neutron transmission and diffraction measurements were performed on four solid beryllium metal grades using the HIPPO neutron time-of-flight diffractometer equipped with an energy-resolved neutron imaging detector at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Analysis of the extracted total neutron cross sections from the transmission measurements revealed a reduction in the coherent elastic s

Galectin-3 (Gal3) is a multifunctional lectin expressed and released by microglia, where it influences diverse processes in both homeostasis and disease. To dissect its intracellular and extracellular roles, we generated Gal3-deficient BV2 microglial cells and systematically assessed how genetic deletion and exogenously added recombinant Gal3 shape microglial physiology. Gal3 deletion increased ce

Background Pulmonary nodules (PNs) are clinically challenging because differentiation between benign and malignant PNs is not possible at CT detection; recurring CT examinations and invasive procedures are often required in PN follow-up. Purpose To investigate PN prevalence in a middle-aged population and the risk factors associated with these nodules. Materials and Methods In this secondary analy

Background: – The use of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is debated. Some argue that ALBC might only be justified in high-risk patients. This study assessed the effectiveness of ALBC vs. plain bone cement (PBC) in reducing risk of revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in TKA patients considered to have a high risk of infection.Methods: – Co

A new species of Diglyphus Walker, D. albifemur Liu, Hansson & Guo, sp. nov., is described based on extensive material from China collected from 2016 to 2024. The entire material included here has been reared from agromyzid leafminers (Diptera, Agromyzidae), mainly from Phytomyza vitalbae Kaltenbach, mining leaves of Clematis orientalis L. The new species is morphologically similar to the Euro

This work introduces a sustainable and versatile synthesis platform for nanosized metal–ceria catalysts with tunable composition, directly relevant to renewable energy conversion and CO2 utilization. The method enables parallel preparation of multiple catalysts in a single batch with high yield and reproducibility, while reducing environmental impact by 92% compared to conventional approaches, as
