Benign tumours of the small intestine consist of various rare entities such as tumour-like inflammatory or hyperplastic lesions, hamartomas (organoid malformations), ectopic tissues, and true neoplasms of epithelial or mesenchymal origin. These benign tumours often stay asymptomatic for years, with small lesions frequently remaining undiscovered. They may be manifested clinically by bleeding, iron
This dissertation is about social change ‘and’, ‘with’, as well as ‘through’ food. It examines the rise and expansion of novel approaches to veganism and plant-based lifestyles in the Sino-cultural sphere by foregrounding the assemblage of actors (human and nonhuman) at the forefront of this phenomenon. While East Asia, and more specifically Sinophone societies like China and Taiwan, have long-est
Many theories based on Darwinian evolutionary theory are of particular relevance to family research. The theory of kin selection is not limited to social behavior of animals, but also explains why humans in all cultures and epochs organize their reproductive and productive activities in family networks and family households. Even though the willingness to cooperate in the human family ultimately g
This study investigates the potential of enhancing regional rail efficiency and reducing emissions through the implementation of dual Electric Traction Machine (ETM) drivetrains. By employing two ETMs, optionally with different specifications and real-time load distribution, the research evaluates the impact on energy savings and battery longevity. The analysis is based on a comparative simulation
Objectives: To determine the diagnostic value of disclosing monotypic T-cell populations by expression analysis of the constant region 1 of T-cell receptor β (TRBC1) by flow cytometry, for the detection of T-cell neoplasms, in a routine hematopathology practice setting. Methods: A panel of antibodies ECD-CD16/PECy5.5-CD4/PECy7-CD2/APCAF700-CD7/KO-CD8/FITC-TCRγδ/PE-TRBC1/APC-CD26/APC-CD57/APC-CD30/
BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) can improve mammography screening by increasing cancer detection and reducing screen reading workload, but its effect on interval cancers (primary breast cancers diagnosed between two screening rounds or within 2 years after the last scheduled screening that were not detected at screening) is unknown. We aimed to compare the interval
Objectives: Studies have reported promising results regarding artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for improved mammographic screening interpretive performance. We analyzed AI malignancy risk scores from two versions of the same commercial AI model. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from 117,709 screening examinations performed in BreastScreen Norway 2009–2018. The
Objective: To investigate the dynamic changes of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase−1 (sFlt−1), placental growth factor (PlGF) and their ratio in maternal plasma, from preeclampsia diagnosis to postpartum, evaluating its clinical utility. Methods: Single-center prospective longitudinal cohort study with repeated sample collection in women with established preeclampsia (PE). Seventy-five (n = 75) wom
The direct conversion of methane to methanol (DCMM) under continuous flow and atmospheric pressure offers notable environmental benefits and industrial promise, but remains a long-standing challenge due to the difficulty of activating CH4while avoiding overoxidation of methanol. Here, we demonstrate that pure ceria (CeO2), without any metal promoters, enables gas-phase DCMM with up to 80% selectiv
Primary care professionals are often the first line of support for children and adolescents with tic disorders. However, families often report feeling inadequately supported and perceive a lack of knowledge about tics. Few studies have examined primary care professionals’ perspectives on managing tic disorders. This study explored how these professionals understood and managed tic disorders in a D
This article presents a Luhmann-inspired theory of conflictualization, that is, how objects, relations, and societies come to be defined by the logic of conflict. This article presents a Galtung- and Luhmann-inspired theory of conflictualization, that is, how objects, relations, and societies come to be defined by the logic of conflict. The article conceptualizes conflictualization as a threefold
Precarity is a common condition for most healthy people living in tropical countries and obviously even more so in patients with cancer. Numerous socioeconomic, cultural, and educational difficulties influence the outcome of cancer management: poverty, diminishing extended family support among communities, lack of reliable cancer registries, poor awareness even within the medical community, limite
Understanding wireless channels is crucial for the design of wireless systems. For mobile communication, sounders and antenna arrays with short measurement times are required to simultaneously capture the dynamic and spatial channel characteristics. Switched antenna arrays are an attractive option that can overcome the high cost of real arrays and the long measurement times of virtual arrays. Opti
Construction with timber is becoming increasingly popular, partially due to its environmental benefits in comparison to steel and concrete. This is especially true for cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels an engineered wood product consisting of stacked timber lamellae oriented perpendicu-larly to each other. CLT panels have high stiffness in comparison to its mass, which leads to a sensitivity to
