BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to have a higher risk for a wide range of health conditions compared to the general population. However, there is little research comparing a more comprehensive range of diseases and conditions at different ages. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the overall age-specific diagnostic pattern among people with ID compared
The 1807 Slave Trade Act banned slave imports across the British Empire, triggering a sharp supply shock. Using newly digitised tax censuses from the Cape Colony, this article examines slave accumulation patterns in Stellenbosch and Graaff-Reinet following the supply shock. Despite stark ecological and institutional differences, both districts show similar post-abolition trajectories. This challen
There is a positive association between bacteraemia with Streptococcus bovis-Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between the timing of SBSEC bacteraemia and CRC is not well-established. Associations with other gastrointestinal cancers have also been suggested. Using national registries, we retrospectively examined the incidence of CRC and ot
Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective and safe way to prevent HIV acquisition among men who have sex with men (MSM). PrEP became available to MSM in Sweden in 2018, but there have been challenges in its accessibility. The aim of this study was to gain an improved understanding of the lived experience of MSM enrolled in a PrEP program in Sweden. Data were collected through in-d
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services in Uganda. In response, digital health tools were rapidly adopted as one of the strategies to restore service delivery. However, the experiences of MNCH professionals implementing these adaptations remain underexplored. This study aimed to explore how MNCH professionals in Uganda experienced
In this paper we present the first investigation of the C–N coupling reaction between N-tosylhydrazones including O-peracylated 2,6-anhydro-aldose tosylhydrazones and 1H-1,2,3-triazoles under catalyst-free conditions. This transformation is characterized by relatively mild thermal conditions, high regioselectivity in favor of 2,4-disubstituted 2H-1,2,3-triazoles and broad functional group tole
In software development, sampling inspection is applied during the development process, as the production process for software is trivial. In software inspection, which is a manual scrutiny of software code or specifications, sampling is applied to estimate the number of remaining faults and to guide which parts of the artifact to inspect. Capture–recapture techniques are used in the fault content
Background: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia is a clonal hematological disorder with an inherent risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. Recently, there has been exponential discovery of molecular abnormalities in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Some of these mutations independently contribute to a higher risk of transformation and result in inferior overall survival. Treat
Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) is a rare but life-threatening complication of transfusion. We herein report a case of anti-Jkb IgM-related AHTR. Two hours after an 80-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome received a packed red blood cell (RBC) A+/Rh-/Jkb+/c- transfusion, he developed acute respiratory failure and a fever. Although he had tested negative in routine screening tests
This review focuses on the findings of the JSH-MPN-R18 study, a retrospective analysis of 596 patients with polycythemia vera (PV) and 1,152 patients with of essential thrombocythemia (ET). Among the four sub-analyses conducted, one focused on adolescents and young adults (AYA population) with PV and ET, demonstrating that the characteristics of thrombotic events in young Japanese patients differ
Ever-increasing global water shortages necessitate more advanced and cost-effective water purification methods. Herein, a novel slow filtration system using natural raw zeolite is proposed as an alternative to traditional quartz sand as a filter medium. The system demonstrates excellent performance in reducing turbidity and removing methylene blue (MB). The natural zeolite-based filtration system
Distributed MIMO and integrated sensing and communication are expected to be key technologies in future wireless systems, enabling reliable, low-latency communication and accurate localization. Dedicated localization solutions must support distributed architecture, provide scalability across different system configurations and meet strict latency requirements. We present a scalable message-passing
Improving the catalytic performance in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin oils to produce liquid fuels, while meeting industrial requirements, is important for addressing current environmental challenges. In the present study, the promoting effects of noble metals (Pd, Pt, and Ir) on the performance of the Ni–Mo/CeLa/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated in the HDO of a lignin-derived pyrolysis oil
This study aimed to investigate suicide and general mortality in individuals with gambling disorder and to evaluate the effect of gambling disorder on mortality and death from suicide. This is a Swedish nationwide case-control, register based study with a ratio of 1:2. Controls were matched on gender, age and municipality. Cases were defined as all adults with a diagnosis of gambling disorder in S
