Genomic analyses have redefined the molecular subgrouping of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Molecular subgroups guide risk-stratification and targeted therapies, but outcomes of recently identified subtypes are often unclear, owing to limited cases with comprehensive profiling and cross-protocol studies. We developed a machine learning tool (ALLIUM) for the molecular subclassification ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are advanced core-shell particles for messenger RNA (mRNA) based therapies that are made of polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipid, distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC), cationic ionizable lipid (CIL), cholesterol (chol), and mRNA. Yet the mechanism of pH-dependent response that is believed to cause endosomal release of LNPs is not well understood. Here, we show that eGFP (enhanced ...

Hensikt: Studien søker å få økt innsikt i hvilke erfaringer norske jordmødre har til lindring av kvinners smerter og ubehag i forbindelse med suturering av fødselsrifter. Problemstilling: Jordmors erfaringer med lindring av kvinnens smerter og ubehag i forbindelse med suturering av fødselsrift. Metode: Kvalitativt forskningsdesign med semistrukturerte individualintervju med åtte jordmødre i ...

Tittel: “Nyutdannede jordmødre og traumatiske hendelser” - En kvalitativ studie om nyutdannede jordmødres opplevelser av traumatiske hendelser i fødsel, og hvordan erfaringene påvirker deres yrkespraksis. Hensikt: Å undersøke hvordan nyutdannede opplever traumatiske hendelser tidlig i karrieren, og hvordan erfaringene eventuelt påvirker deres yrkespraksis videre. Problemstilling: Nyutdannede ...

A challenge confronting northern nursing is delivery of equitable and culturally competent nursing education. Advances in technology support distributed approaches for decentralised learning and enhance the feasibility of nursing education in rural and remote regions. However, there is limited scholarship on distributed/decentralised technologies in nursing education, particularly in northern and ...

Background - Comparing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of newly diagnosed breast tumors and their tumor stage between the Netherlands and Norway will help us understand the effect of differences in governmental and social reactions towards the pandemic.<p< <p>Methods - Women newly diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017–2021 were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry and ...

Background One Health approaches to address the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are gaining attention. However, data on the distribution and movement of bacteria and their AMR-associated genes between clinical and non-clinical sources are scarce, especially from low-income and middle-income countries. We aimed to analyse Klebsiella isolates from various sources in Ghana and ...

Background - Establishing positive oral health behaviours during adolescence should be a key priority to improve lifelong oral health. However, changing adolescent behaviours is known to be a challenge. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a method of working with patients to activate their motivation for change and has shown promising results within the dental setting. Yet, little is known about the ...

Hepatic sinusoids are lined with thin endothelial cells with transcellular pores, termed fenestrations. These fenestrations are open channels that connect the sinusoidal lumen to the underlying Space of Disse (SoD) and the hepatocytes of the liver parenchyma. Fenestrations range from 0.05 to 0.35 µm in diameter and cover 5–15% of the sinusoidal endothelial surface area, depending on their location ...

Mitochondria are the main energy producing units (organelles) in cardiac cells (cardiomyocytes). Cardiomyocytes have especially high mitochondrial content due to the heart’s continuous energy-intensive pumping. Studies of heart disease (such as heart failure) indicate that mitochondrial dysfunction is central to disease progression. There are many cellular mechanisms that protect mitochondria from ...
