Estimating convective heat transfer coefficients and uncertainty thereof using the general uncertainty management (GUM) framework

The rate of convective heat transfer is often required to design and optimize food engineering processes. The temperature sensor technique is the most widely used method to measure convective heat transfer coefficients (h-values). Being able to reliably determine h-values is becoming increasingly important with the advances in sophisticated food engineering modelling using it as an empirical input

A simple multilevel approach for analysing geographical inequalities in public health reports: : The case of municipality differences in obesity

The epidemiological analysis of geographical inequalities in individual outcomes is a fundamental theme in public health research. However, many traditional studies focus on analysing area differences in averages outcomes, disregarding individual variation around such averages. In doing so, these studies may produce misleading information and lead researchers to draw incorrect conclusions. Analysi

Associations of cigarette smoking with disease phenotype and type I interferon expression in primary Sjögren's syndrome

Several studies have shown a negative association between smoking and primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and smoking may interfere with the immune response. The purpose of this study was to investigate if smoking affects disease activity and disease phenotype in pSS. In this cross-sectional study, consecutive pSS patients filled out the EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) form

Concomitant Ro/SSA and La/SSB antibodies are biomarkers for the risk of venous thromboembolism and cerebral infarction in primary Sjögren's syndrome

OBJECTIVES: To assess the risk of incident cardiovascular disease in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome, overall and stratified by Ro/SSA and La/SSB autoantibody status.METHODS: A cohort of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome in Sweden (n=960) and matched controls from the general population (n=9,035) were included, and data extracted from the National Patient Register to identify event

Inherited Classical and Alternative Pathway Complement Deficiencies in Children : A Single Center Experience

BACKGROUND: Primary complement deficiencies are rare diseases. OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings and complications of patients to increase awareness of pediatricians about complement deficiencies, which are rarely encountered. METHODS: In this study, the clinical and immunological characteristics of 21 patients who consulted the Immunology Department of ou
