Accurate imputation is essential for the reliabilityand success of downstream tasks. Recently, diffusion models haveattracted great attention in this field. However, these models neglect the latent distribution in a lower-dimensional space derivedfrom the observed data, which limits the generative capacityof the diffusion model. Additionally, dealing with the originalmissing data without labels be

Objective: Despite the increasing number of fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (F/B-EVAR) procedures, evidence on post-operative antiplatelet therapy is very limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) vs. double antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after F/B-EVAR in 30 day and follow up outcomes. Methods: A multicentre retrospective analysis was

Importance: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of negligence claims in radiology. The objective of this document is to describe the specific main causes of errors in breast imaging and provide European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) recommendations to try to minimize these. Observations: Technical failures represent 17% of all mammographic diagnostic negligence claims. Mammography qual

Bees are crucial for food security and biodiversity. However, managed bees are increasingly considered drivers of wild bee declines, leading to stakeholder conflicts and restrictive policies. We propose avenues to reconcile wild and managed bee proponents and point out knowledge gaps that hinder the development of evidence-based policies.

This paper addresses inclusive tourism in multicultural societies by exploring the domestic tourism experiences of first-generation Italian and Chinese immigrants in Sweden within the context of visiting friends and relatives (VFR) tourism practices and activities. Our results highlight the complex interplay of personal social networks and the hosts’ positionality on VFR experiences and tourism dy

Light-level geolocators were used to record the annual migration cycles of black terns Chlidonias niger (9 individuals, 11 journeys) and common terns Sterna hirundo (7 individuals, 11 journeys) breeding in southernmost Sweden. The black terns used two different non-breeding (Oct–Mar) regions along the Atlantic coast of Africa, either north of the equator between Senegal and Liberia (3 individuals)

When processing radar signals, the target steering vector is generally only partially known, being subject to various forms of errors and mismatches. In this article, we investigate the design of an unimodular transmit sequence that is robust against steering vector mismatches, with the aim of enhancing the performance of a frequency diverse array multiple-input-multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar sy

Lahti, A, Grundberg, A, Stenman, E, and Sundquist, K. Physical characteristics of Swedish female professional ice hockey players allowed body checking. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024 - In ice hockey, physical characteristics impact sporting performance. This study aims to describe body height, body mass, and body mass index (BMI) in professional female ice hockey players in the Swedish W

Engineering on the nanoscale often involves optimizing performance by designing and creating new types of nanostructured materials. Multifunctional nanoparticles can be formed by combining elements that carry fundamentally different properties. The elements can be chosen based on the desired functionality, and by combining, e.g., magnetic, and catalytic elements, it is possible to self-assemble na

Mavacamten is a selective, allosteric, and reversible cardiac myosin inhibitor, representing the first disease-specific treatment for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that targets the core pathophysiological mechanism of this condition. Clinical evidence supports its efficacy in improving symptoms, cardiac function, and remodeling, thereby supplementing established treatment regimens.

This article examines how cognitive resources such as internal efficacy and political knowledge relate to citizens’ ability to evaluate democratic institutions. Using original survey data from the United States (N = 1093), we find, first, that internal efficacy is associated with more positive assessments of democratic institutions in general. Conversely, political knowledge is associated with mor

In this paper, we examine the role of trust in the international climate negotiations. We (1) identify forms of trust inferred from institutional designs, (2) analyse effects of institutional design on social and political trust and (3) describe the relationship between social and political trust in international climate change negotiations. We do this by combining document analysis, literature re

Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived RNAs (tDRs) are abundant small RNAs with emerging roles in development and tumorigenesis. Increasing evidence indicates that tDRs regulate stem cell homeostasis and differentiation, often altered in disease, highlighting the importance of fully characterizing their role in stem cell biology. Multiple studies point to protein synthesis as a crucial target of tDR-mediated

Background Robust clinical indices of etiologic heterogeneity for psychiatric disorders are rare. We investigate whether age at onset (AAO) reflects genetic heterogeneity, utilizing Genetic Risk Ratios (GRR) derived from Family Genetic Risk Scores (FGRS). Methods We examined, in individuals born in Sweden 1940-2003, whether AAO for five primary disorders - drug use disorder (DUD), alcohol use diso

The presented guidelines are an update of the position paper, endorsed by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), on nomenclature of bone markers published over 2 decades ago. Novel insight into bone biology and pathophysiology of bone disorders has highlighted the increasing relevance of new and known mediators implicated in various aspects of bone metabolism. This updated guideline prop

The diffusion of macromolecules, nanoparticles, viruses, and bacteria is essential for targeting hosts or cellular destinations. While these entities can bind to receptors and ligands on host surfaces, the impact of multiple binding sites—referred to as multivalency—on diffusion along strands or surfaces is poorly understood. Through numerical simulations, we have discovered a significant accelera

High-order interactions associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival may elucidate underlying molecular mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets. Our previous work has identified a three-way interaction among pack-year of smoking (the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day multiplied by the number of years the person has smoked) and two DNA methylation probes (cg0
