In a community effort to combat sample mislabeling in multi-omic studies, computational solutions received show a wide range of accuracy. The final collaborative product, COSMO, achieves high performance. Applying COSMO to published datasets demonstrates biological impact of the tool.Sample mislabeling or misannotation has been a long-standing problem in scientific research, particularly prevalent in large-scale, multi-omic studies due to the complexity of multi-omic workflows. There exists an urgent need for implementing quality controls to automatically screen for and correct sample mislabels or misannotations in multi-omic studies. Here, we describe a crowdsourced precision

To examine prevalence of verbal, physical and sexual abuses in young elite athletes, a cross sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted during the World Athletics under 20 World Championships. This questionnaire aimed at distinguishing between abuses perpetrated in the context of Athletics from those which were unrelated to Athletics. Four hundred and eighty athletes (52.3%, male) from Nor

In recent years, Sweden has seen an increase in archaeological investigations regarding subaltern settlements from the recent past. This chapter advocates using a triangulation approach with written documents, historical maps, and archaeological data as a preferred method for investigating rural subalterns. This approach enables archaeology to play a significant role in uncovering subaltern multi-

Obesity is a key contributor to heart failure, driving increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This association is supported by multiple pathophysiological mechanisms and consistent epidemiological evidence, particularly not only in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but also in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Given the rising prevalence of

Background Ximelagatran is a novel, oral direct thrombin inhibitor under investigation as an alternative to warfarin for prevention of thromboembolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Two long-term studies in patients with AF and at least one additional risk factor for stroke are underway to compare the safety and efficacy of fixed-dose ximelagatran (36 mg bid) without coagu

This essay reflects on the strive for realism and intensified experiences in contemporary forms of Mixed Martial Arts contests. It elaborates on the cultural meaning of violence and on the representation of violence in television versus the experience of real, bodily violence. The main theoretical tools are theories of culture, visuality, masculinity, and violence, developed by Roland Barthes, Geo

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen presenteras delar till radiomottagare med extremt låg effektförbrukning. Detta behövs då dagens samhälle blir allt mer och mer uppkopplat, och detta gäller inte bara persondatorer och mobiltelefoner. Med den snabba teknikutvecklingen inom radiokommunikation, driven av små och smarta mobiltelefoner, går det nu även att få prylar av alla de slag att tala meHistorically, research on radio communication has focused on improving range and data rate. In the last decade, however, there has been an increasing demand for low power and low cost radios that can provide connectivity with small devices around us. They should be able to offer basic connectivity with a power consumption low enough to function extended periods of time on a single battery charge,

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective randomized longitudinal clinical trial with matched controls. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the long-term effect of training on postural control and extremity function after an acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. BACKGROUND: ACL injuries may cause severe problems with recurrent giving way of the knee and reduced functional capacity. The effect of an acute ACL inju

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of repeated measurements and a possible learning or tiring process in single-limb stabilometry and one-leg hop test. An additional purpose was to study the correlation between different stabilometric variables. Seventy-five healthy subjects were examined twice with a median interval of 7 d, and with three consecutive measurements on each

The objectives of this study are to review the long-term consequences of injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament and menisci, the pathogenic mechanisms, and the causes. of the considerable variability in outcome. Injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament and menisci are common in both athletes and the general population. At 10 to 20 years after the diagnosis, on average, 50% of those with a di

Training studies in children have suggested that endurance training can give enlargement of cardiac dimensions. This relationship has not been studied on a population-based level in young children with objective methods. A cross-sectional study was made of 248 children (140 boys and 108 girls), aged 8-11 years, from a population-based cohort. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDD) and left

INTRODUCTION: Secondary functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (SFHA) is common among female athletes, especially in weight-sensitive sports. The aim of this study was to investigate the link between SFHA and neuromuscular performance in elite endurance athletes. METHODS: Sixteen eumenorrheic (EUM) and 14 SFHA athletes from national teams and competitive clubs participated. Methods included gynecologi

Background: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using magnitude inversion recovery (IR) or phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) has become clinical standard for assessment of myocardial infarction (MI). However, there is no clinical standard for quantification of MI even though multiple methods have been proposed. Simple thresholds have yielded varying re

This study evaluates associations between objectively measured daily physical activity vs aerobic fitness and body fat in children aged 8-11 years. A cross-sectional study of 225 children aged 7.9-11.1 years was performed. Abdominal fat mass (AFM) and total body fat (TBF) were quantified by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. TBF was calculated as percentage of total body mass (BF%). Body fat distri

The identification of carotid atheromatous plaques associated to a higher neurologic risk may be important in therapeutic decision making for asymptomatic patients and symptomatic patients with 50%-70% stenosis. The introduction of high-definition ultrasonography (HDU) and computer-assisted image analysis provides the possibility of a standard, objective and detailed characterization of the struct

Objectives Registries have been highlighted as means to improve quality of care. Here, we describe temporal trends in risk factors, lifestyle and preventive medication for patients after myocardial infarction (MI) registered in the quality registry Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies (SWEDEHEART). D

Introduction Knee muscles are commonly labeled as flexors or extensors and aptly stabilize the knee against sagittal plane loads. However, how these muscles stabilize the knee against adduction-abduction and rotational loads remains unclear. Our study sought 1) to classify muscle roles as they relate to joint stability by quantifying the relationship between individual muscle activation patterns a

Nanoplastics have been proven to induce toxicity in diverse organisms, yet their effect on soil microbes like bacteria and fungi remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we used micro-engineered soil models to investigate the effect of polystyrene (PS) nanospheres on Pseudomonas putida and Coprinopsis cinerea. Specifically, we explored the effects of increasing concentrations of 60 nm carboxylat

The great variety of earth's microorganisms and their functions are attributed to the heterogeneity of their habitats, but our understanding of the impact of this heterogeneity on microbes is limited at the microscale. In this study, we tested how a gradient of spatial habitat complexity in the form of fractal mazes influenced the growth, substrate degradation, and interactions of the bacterial st

• We aimed to capture possible insights from an AI diagnosing without human guidance.• We believe the result mainly aligns with previous knowledge. Though, vital signs and sex did not aid the AI diagnostics.
