V̇Opeak estimation in people with overweight and obesity before and after a 14-week lifestyle intervention.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the validity and applicability of a non-exercise estimation of cardiorespiratory fitness using resting seismocardiography (SCG eV̇Opeak) in people with overweight and obesity before and after a 14-week lifestyle intervention.

Methods: The study was carried out at a Folk high school that offers 14-week courses on lifestyle changes where participants live at the school and voluntarily participate in daily lectures and activities. Sixty-seven men and women with age and body mass index between 18 and 70 years and 25-50 kg·m were tested at baseline, and 52 had a follow-up test after 14 weeks.

Case report: Bladder stone caused by dislocated Cu-IUD.

Introduction And Importance: The intrauterine device, usually in the form of a copper IUD or levonorgestrel intrauterine system, is a widely used contraceptive method. The risk of uterine perforation is low and ranges from 0.3 to 2.

Associations Between Mental Disorders in Donors and Matched Recipients of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

Background: Immunological mechanisms have been implicated in the development of mental disorders, and interestingly, case reports have suggested that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can both transmit and cure psychotic disorders by replacing immune progenitor cells.

Methods: Using Danish registers, we followed patients who received HSCT from donors with a psychiatric diagnosis or psychotropic medication use. We assessed risk of incident mental disorders or psychotropic medication use compared with recipients with unaffected donors.

A Strategy to Compare Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data Sets Provides Phenotypic Insight into Cellular Heterogeneity Underlying Biological Similarities and Differences Between Samples.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows for an unbiased assessment of cellular phenotypes by enabling the extraction of transcriptomic data. An important question in downstream analysis is how to evaluate biological similarities and differences between samples in high dimensional space. This becomes especially complex when there is cellular heterogeneity within the samples.

Successful pregnancy outcome after sonographic control and gasless laparoscopic removal of 810-gram fibroid during pregnancy: case report.

The management of symptomatic uterine fibroids during pregnancy is a challenging situation. In some cases, surgical therapy can be required. Reports indicate that both laparotomy and laparoscopy are safe methods.
