Giant cell arteritis is a rare disease that can lead to blindness in people older than 50 years. Early recognition and timely treatment can prevent irreversible damage. Early recognition can be challenging due to the variable presentation of giant cell arteritis.

The stability of vanadium in a range of oxidation states enables mixed-valence polymorphs of kinetically accessible metastable materials. Low-temperature synthetic routes to, and the properties of, these metastable materials are poorly understood and may unlock new optoelectronic and magnetic functionalities for expanded applications.

Background: Identification of groups at a high-risk of gastric cancer (GC) could facilitate targeted screening in countries with a low GC incidence. Our aim was to identify such high-risk groups, based on individual-level population data on migration history and socioeconomic status (SES) in the Netherlands.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patient data from the Netherlands cancer registry were linked to demographic data of Statistics Netherlands in the period 2010-2022.
