Time trends in mortality for people with severe mental illness in Denmark 2000-2018.

Purpose: People with a severe mental illness (SMI) have a marked reduction in life expectancy which is largely attributable to somatic morbidity. Life expectancy has increased in Global North populations, yet it remains unclear whether people with SMI have benefitted equally from this increase. Our objective was to explore time trends of all-cause and selected cause-specific mortality among all people in Denmark with registered diagnosis codes of SMI: depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia at psychiatric out- and in-patient settings.

Developing a comprehensive framework for evaluating public health emergency management program implementation: A scoping review.

Deep learning-based classification of breast cancer molecular subtypes from H&E whole-slide images.

Classifying breast cancer molecular subtypes is crucial for tailoring treatment strategies. While immunohistochemistry (IHC) and gene expression profiling are standard methods for molecular subtyping, IHC can be subjective, and gene profiling is costly and not widely accessible in many regions. Previous approaches have highlighted the potential application of deep learning models on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained whole-slide images (WSIs) for molecular subtyping, but these efforts vary in their methods, datasets, and reported performance.

The association between animal protein, plant protein, and their substitution with bladder cancer risk: a pooled analysis of 10 cohort studies.

A position and wave spectra dataset of Marginal Ice Zone dynamics collected around Svalbard in 2022 and 2023.

Sea ice is a key element of the global Earth system, with a major impact on global climate and regional weather. Unfortunately, accurate sea ice modeling is challenging due to the diversity and complexity of underlying physics happening there, and a relative lack of ground truth observations. This is especially true for the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ), which is the area where sea ice is affected by incoming ocean waves.

The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean Version 5.0.

Knowledge about seafloor depth, or bathymetry, is crucial for various marine activities, including scientific research, offshore industry, safety of navigation, and ocean exploration. Mapping the central Arctic Ocean is challenging due to the presence of perennial sea ice, which limits data collection to icebreakers, submarines, and drifting ice stations. The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) was initiated in 1997 with the goal of updating the Arctic Ocean bathymetric portrayal.

Comparative assessment of airborne infection risk tools in enclosed spaces: Implications for disease control.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, highlighted the importance of understanding transmission modes and implementing effective mitigation strategies. Recognizing airborne transmission as a primary route has reshaped public health measures, emphasizing the need to optimize indoor environments to reduce risks. Numerous tools have emerged to assess airborne infection risks in enclosed spaces, providing valuable resources for public health authorities, researchers, and the general public.

Subcellular NAD pools are interconnected and buffered by mitochondrial NAD.

The coenzyme NAD is consumed by signalling enzymes, including poly-ADP-ribosyltransferases (PARPs) and sirtuins. Ageing is associated with a decrease in cellular NAD levels, but how cells cope with persistently decreased NAD concentrations is unclear. Here, we show that subcellular NAD pools are interconnected, with mitochondria acting as a rheostat to maintain NAD levels upon excessive consumption.

Increasing infertility rates represent a growing medical challenge in modern societies resulting from a complex interplay of sociocultural trends, lifestyle factors, exposure to environmental toxins, and underlying health problems. Women's fertility is particularly vulnerable to these shifts. The obesogenic lifestyle not only accelerates weight gain, but also disrupts ovulation driving the rise in infertility.

Potentially traumatic events and the association with hazardous alcohol use in 19,128 middle aged and elderly adults: the Tromsø Study 2015-2016.

Purpose: The aim was to examine the association between a wide range of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) experienced in childhood, adulthood or both, and hazardous alcohol use, including the relationship between the total sum of PTEs and hazardous alcohol use in middle aged and elderly adults. Previous studies have predominantly focused on childhood PTEs or isolated PTEs and more severe alcohol problems, little focus has been given to middle aged and elderly adults with hazardous alcohol use and PTE experiences.

Methods: We used logistic regression analysis to study the relation between a broad range of PTEs and hazardous alcohol defined by the alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) in 19,128 women and men aged 40 years and above participating in the seventh survey of the Norwegian population-based Tromsø Study in 2015-2016.

Transcriptionally distinct B cell profiles in systemic immune tissues and peritoneal cavity of Atlantic salmon () infected with salmonid alphavirus subtype 3.

Teleost B cells producing neutralizing antibodies contribute to protection against salmonid alphavirus (SAV) infection, the etiological agent of pancreas disease, thereby reducing mortality and disease severity. Our previous studies show differences in B cell responses between the systemic immune tissues (head kidney (HK) and spleen) and the peritoneal cavity (PerC) after intraperitoneal SAV3 infection in Atlantic salmon () where the response in PerC dominates at the late time points. By employing the same infection model, we aimed to further characterize these B cells.

Transcriptomic profiling of gill biopsies to define predictive markers for seawater survival in farmed Atlantic salmon.

Wild Atlantic salmon migrate to sea following completion of a developmental process known as parr-smolt transformation (PST), which establishes a seawater (SW) tolerant phenotype. Effective imitation of this aspect of anadromous life history is a crucial aspect of commercial salmon production, with current industry practice being marred by significant losses during transition from the freshwater (FW) to SW phase of production. The natural photoperiodic control of PST can be mimicked by exposing farmed juvenile fish to a reduced duration photoperiod for at least 6 weeks before increasing the photoperiod in the last 1-2 months before SW transfer.

Mesoscopic axially swept oblique plane microscope for the imaging of freely moving organisms with near-isotropic resolution.

Rapid three-dimensional imaging over extended fields of view (FOVs) is crucial to the study of organism-wide systems and biological processes . Selective-plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) is a powerful method for high spatio-temporal resolution imaging of such biological specimens. However, typical SPIM implementations preclude conventional sample mounting and have anisotropic imaging performance, in particular when designed for large FOVs over 1 mm diameter.
