A survey of Swedish radiographer's need for knowledge at advanced level.
Radiography (Lond)
March 2025
Introduction: There are uncertainties about whether current advanced-level courses provide the knowledge needed to develop the profession for radiographers in Sweden. The aim of this study was to investigate Swedish radiographers' perceived need for additional post-registration knowledge in their profession and their need for education at advanced level.
Methods: Swedish radiographers were invited to participate in a national electronic survey between November and December 2022.
Purpose Of Review: This review highlights brain-gut neuroimmune interactions in the context of critical illness. Neural regulation of inflammation, gut innervation, and the brain-gut axis in critical illness are discussed.
Recent Findings: Recent studies indicate that the brain-gut axis and the enteric nervous system are integral to the regulation of local and systemic inflammation.
Background: Sustained intrauterine hypoxia causes some four million perinatal deaths annually worldwide. The condition is predicated by neonatal acidemia, as determined by pH in umbilical cord blood at birth. We aimed to evaluate the association between umbilical cord arterial pH and long-term outcomes up to 20 years of follow-up.

- The study aimed to create a clinical assessment protocol specifically for powerlifters experiencing low back and hip pain, addressing the lack of targeted information on their pain characteristics and functional impairments.
- The protocol was developed through a two-phase study, where phase one focused on creating the assessment based on existing literature, and phase two tested its feasibility with eight powerlifters, examining their pain and impairment through a structured evaluation by physical therapists.
- Results indicated that the protocol was effective, taking about an hour for examination, with consistent diagnoses between therapists, highlighting the importance of observing movement strategies during key exercises like squats and deadlifts.
Background And Objectives: Statins are used for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) (NAFLD) treatment, but their role in this context is unclear. Genetic variants of patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) are associated with MASLD susceptibility and statin treatment efficacy. Access to liver biopsies before established MASLD is limited, and statins and PNPLA3 in early liver steatosis are thus difficult to study.
