The last mile of the distribution grid is crucial for a successful energy transition, as more low-carbon technology like photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, and electric vehicle chargers connect to the low-voltage grid. Despite considerable challenges in operation and planning, researchers often lack access to suitable…

Robotic adoption in metabolic and bariatric surgery has increased, but its procedure-specific short-term outcomes remain uncertain. This study compared robotic and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) over a decade. The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery…

Chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) is a critical condition associated with poor outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. Anion gap, a readily available laboratory marker, has been linked to various clinical outcomes, but its relationship with mortality in CTO patients is not well established. This study…

Sir-, Rajamäki and colleagues were interested in identifying preoperative predictors of persistent pain 1-year post-surgery in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty [1]. Given the clinical importance of persistent pain following this typically highly successful surgery, prognostic studies of poor pain outcome are…

The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) is a novel lipid marker for cardiovascular disease. While previous studies have suggested a link between dyslipidemia and hypertension in various populations, the association between NHHR and hypertension in the older…

Background Israel’s community water fluoridation policy, mandatory from 2002 until its halt in 2014, provides a natural experiment to assess fluoridation’s impact on pediatric oral health. This retrospective study analyzed digital dental records of 12-year-old children (2014-2022) to assess changes in caries experience…
