Emotional and psychosocial functioning in youngsters with a congenital heart disease (CHD) in comparison to healthy controls.

Objective: Due to their medical vulnerability, youngsters with congenital heart disease (CHD) may experience more overwhelming emotions than healthy peers. This multi-informant-based study aims to examine differences between these youngsters and their peers in psychosocial functioning, attachment and emotion regulation.

Study Design: 217 youngsters (8-18 years) with CHD (53.

A Quasi-Solid-State Polymer Lithium-Metal Battery with Minimal Excess Lithium, Ultrathin Separator, and High-Mass Loading NMC811 Cathode.

Solid-state batteries with lithium metal anodes are considered the next major technology leap with respect to today's lithium-ion batteries, as they promise a significant increase in energy density. Expectations for solid-state batteries from the automotive and aviation sectors are high, but their implementation in industrial production remains challenging. Here, we report a solid-state lithium-metal battery enabled by a polymer electrolyte consisting of a poly(DMADAFSI) cationic polymer and LiFSI in PyrFSI as plasticizer.

Validation of clinical risk assessment scores for venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a population-based cohort study.

Background: Guidelines recommend using risk assessment tools to identify ambulatory patients with cancer at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Objectives: We aimed to validate a new cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) risk score in a population-based healthcare setting.

Methods: We used healthcare registry data and electronic medical records from the Central Denmark Region to calculate the new CAT risk score and the guideline-recommended Khorana score in patients with a first-time cancer diagnosis who initiated systemic cancer therapy.

Lactuca super-pangenome reduces bias towards reference genes in lettuce research.

Background: Breeding of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), the most important leafy vegetable worldwide, for enhanced disease resistance and resilience relies on multiple wild relatives to provide the necessary genetic diversity. In this study, we constructed a super-pangenome based on four Lactuca species (representing the primary, secondary and tertiary gene pools) and comprising 474 accessions.

Effects of increased availability and economic incentives on preadolescents' healthier beverages choices: An experimental study.

This field experimental study examined how increased availability and economic incentives for healthier beverages affect preadolescents' actual healthier beverage choices in a real-world setting. In addition, the impact of preadolescents' descriptive norm towards healthier beverages, price awareness and parental restrictive rules regarding beverage consumption were explored. During the experiment, preadolescents could independently buy two beverages from an assortment with a total of eight beverages.
