BACKGROUND: Contact allergy rates of linalool and limonene hydroperoxides (HPs) have increased.OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the patterns of simultaneous positive patch test (PT) reactions and prevalences of multiple contact allergies (MCAs) in patients with contact allergy to linalool and/or limonene HPs.METHODS: A retrospective analysis of consecutive dermatitis patients in 2015-2020 was performed.

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is often severe and difficult to treat. The content of Cr(VI) in cement can be reduced by, for example, addition of iron(II) sulfate. Since 2005 the content of Cr(VI) in cement is regulated in the EU Directive 2003/53/EC and must not exceed 2 ppm. Since this regulation came into force, ACD caused by cement has

Recently, epidemiological evidence has suggested that hypopituitarism with untreated growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular mortality and that women are particularly at risk. In the present study, the incidence of cardiovascular disease and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in 33 such women was assessed and compared with matched controls. A si

BACKGROUND: Contact allergy to the mint-tasting flavour carvone has been observed in patients with oral lichenoid lesions (OLL). Mint-flavoured products such as toothpaste frequently contain carvone. Snuff is a smokeless tobacco product that is chewed or placed in the mouth rather than smoked. In Sweden, the use of snuff and its flavoured versions is extremely common.OBJECTIVES: To investigate whe

OBJECTIVE: Many GH deficient (GHD) patients have impaired glucose tolerance and GH substitution in these patients has caused deleterious effects on glucose tolerance with hyperinsulinaemia. This further impairment of glucose tolerance might be due to an unphysiologically high dose of GH. Whether such a deterioration can be avoided by an optimal GH replacement dose is not known. In most previous st

Patch testing with fragrance allergens has been performed for over half a century, and the protocol has been continually developed and standardised. Fragrance mixes I and II and Myroxylon pereirae resin are commonly used as screening fragrance allergens in patch testing.During the past few decades, linalool and limonene hydroperoxides have emerged as contact allergens as a result of high rates of

With the two nations taking steps towards a more harmonized agenda on climate change mitigation, we would expect these leading plastic producer countries to also show leadership in relation to plastics.

CPUP is a combined follow-up program and national quality registry for cerebral palsy (CP). Since its inception in southern Sweden in 1994, CPUP has expanded geographically to cover all of Sweden, and similar programs are used in several northern European countries. Over 95% of all children with CP in Sweden, and a growing proportion of adults, are followed according to CPUP. The content of CPUP h

Monitoring crop growth and estimating crop yield are essential for managing agricultural production, ensuring food security, and maintaining sustainable agricultural development. Combining the mechanistic framework of a crop growth model with remote sensing observations can provide a means of generating realistic and spatially detailed crop growth information that can facilitate accurate crop yiel

A search for Higgs boson pair production in events with two b-jets and two τ-leptons is presented, using a proton–proton collision dataset with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb −1 collected at s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Higgs boson pairs produced non-resonantly or in the decay of a narrow scalar resonance in the mass range from 251 to 1600 GeV are targeted. Events in which at

This book charts the shifting boundaries of Judaism from antiquity to the modern period in order to bring clarity to what scholars mean when they claim that ancient texts or groups are “within Judaism,” as well as exploring how rabbinic Jews, Christians, and Muslims have negotiated and renegotiated what Judaism is and is not in order to form their own identities. Belief in Jesus as the Messiah was

This paper presents a search for hypothetical massive, charged, long-lived particles with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions at s = 13 TeV. These particles are expected to move significantly slower than the speed of light and should be identifiable by their high transverse momenta and anomalously large specific ionisation losses, dE

A search is reported for excited τ-leptons and leptoquarks in events with two hadronically decaying τ-leptons and two or more jets. The search uses proton-proton (pp) collision data at s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment during the Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider in 2015–2018. The total integrated luminosity is 139 fb −1. The excited τ-lepton is assumed to be produced and to decay via a

FANCM germline protein truncating variants (PTVs) are moderate-risk factors for ER-negative breast cancer. We previously described the spectrum of FANCM PTVs in 114 European breast cancer cases. In the present, larger cohort, we report the spectrum and frequency of four common and 62 rare FANCM PTVs found in 274 carriers detected among 44,803 breast cancer cases. We confirmed that p.Gln1701* was t

The production of strange hadrons (KS0 , Λ, Ξ±, and Ω±), baryon-to-meson ratios (Λ/ KS0 , Ξ/ KS0 , and Ω/ KS0), and baryon-to-baryon ratios (Ξ/Λ, Ω/Λ, and Ω/Ξ) associated with jets and the underlying event were measured as a function of transverse momentum (p T) in pp collisions at s = 13 TeV and p Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The inclusive production of the

Debatten om redovisningsfrågor har numera flyttat från den nationella till den internationella arenan och får inte längre så mycket utrymme i Sverige. Annorlunda var det på 1970-, 1980- och 1990-talen då inte minst tidskriften Balans utgjorde en viktig arena för samtalet om redovisningens utveckling, skriver Jörgen Carlsson och Niklas Sandell vid Ekonomihögskolan i Lund. I sin artikel lyfter de fr

This paper presents a statistical combination of searches targeting final states with two top quarks and invisible particles, characterised by the presence of zero, one or two leptons, at least one jet originating from a b-quark and missing transverse momentum. The analyses are searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model consistent with the direct production of dark matter in pp collisions at
