Egestabase - An online evidence platform to discover and explore options to recover plant nutrients from human excreta and domestic wastewater for reuse in agriculture.

Restoring nutrient circularity across scales is important for ecosystem integrity as well as nutrient and food security. As such, research and development of technologies to recover plant nutrients from various organic residues has intensified. Yet, this emerging field is diverse and difficult to navigate, especially for newcomers.

Recycling Nutrients and Reducing Carbon Emissions in the Baltic Sea Region-Sustainable or Economically Infeasible?

Ecotechnologies have the potential to reduce the use of finite resources while providing a variety of co-benefits to society, though they often lack in market competitiveness. In this study, we investigate the sustainability of ecotechnologies for recovering carbon and nutrients, and demonstrate how a so-called "bottom-up" approach can serve as a decision-making instrument. Based on three case study catchments with a focus on domestic wastewater in Sweden and Poland, and on manure, grass and blackwater substrates in Finland, we apply a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) on system alternatives derived from a participatory process.

Communication is more than just a conversation: family members' satisfaction with end-of-life care.

Aim:: The main aim of this study was to investigate family member's experiences of communicating with health professionals (HP) during end-of-life care in acute medical wards and a nursing home.

Methods:: A qualitative approach using 19 semi-structured interviews to collect data was used. The text was analysed using a content analysis methodology, extracting content that reflected family member's experiences of end-of-life care in acute medical wards, and a nursing home in Iceland.

Cancer incidence among patients with a hospital diagnosis of pruritus: a nationwide Danish cohort study.

Background: Pruritus is a frequent complaint in patients with cancer. However, no large study has examined pruritus as a marker of undiagnosed cancer.

Objectives: To examine the association between inpatient, outpatient and emergency hospital diagnoses of pruritus and subsequent cancer diagnoses.

Statin use and venous thromboembolism recurrence: a combined nationwide cohort and nested case-control study.

Background: Data on statins' effect on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence are conflicting.

Objectives: We examined whether statin use was associated with reduced risk of recurrent VTE in a nationwide population-based setting.

Patients/methods: Using the Danish National Patient Registry, we identified first-time and recurrent VTEs between 1 July 2004 and 31 December 2012 (n = 27,862).
