High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common subtype of ovarian cancer, often discovered in advanced stages and linked to poor survival. Due to high mortality rates, there is a need for novel treatment strategies. A promising new strategy is induction of ferroptosis, which has recently been shown to synergistically induce cell death in HGSOCs in combination with MTDH-SND1 protein
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with treatment heavily relying on platinum-based chemotherapy. However, resistance frequently develops, posing a major clinical challenge that underscores the need for new approaches. In this study, we investigated the phosphoproteomic landscape underlying cisplatin resistance, which remains poorly understood. A parental CAOV3 ovarian can
Introduction: Oxidating fat as an energy substrate requires more oxygen than utilizing carbohydrates and can be acutely increased by hyperoxia. Therefore, substrate utilization may affect endurance performance and gas consumption in divers, but previous research is limited. This study aimed to evaluate changes in maximal fat oxidation (MFO) in navy divers during training. Methods: Seven explosive
The amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain (AICD) is an intrinsically disordered regulatory segment whose conserved YENPTY motif mediates transient interactions with multiple adaptor and signaling proteins. How sequence perturbations within this motif modulate its accessibility and interaction potential within a disordered ensemble remains poorly understood. Here, we combine small-angle X-
Background: Effectively identifying individuals exposed to drug underuse, overuse and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) in older adults is essential for minimizing preventable drug-related harms. Methods: We analysed data from 54,296 individuals aged 60–74 years from the German National Cohort (NAKO). We assessed the frequency of PIM, untreated conditions (medication and vaccination under
Bestämmelsen om tjänstefel återfinns i 20 kap. 1 § Brottsbalken vilket innebär att den som vid myndighetsutövning, uppsåtligen eller av oaktsamhet, åsidosätter vad som gäller för uppgiften genom handling eller underlåtenhet kan ställas till svars. Idag omfattas inte de kommunalt förtroendevalda i den högre beslutande förvaltningen av detta ansvar då de besitter ett partiellt ämbetsansvar. Detta paThe regulation on misuse of office can be found in chapter 20 § 1 of the Swedish Penal Code which means that a person who in the exercise of public authority, by act or by commission, intentionally or through carelessness, disregards the duties of his office can be held liable. Today, elected representatives cannot be held accountable for their decisions as they hold a partial responsibility. This
Toxin-producing Staphylococcus aureus can be present in raw milk and therefore in cheese made from raw milk. To determine the number and type of toxin producers in raw milk used for raw milk cheese production in Ireland, 117 samples of raw milk and related products from five raw milk suppliers, to four raw milk cheesemakers in the South of Ireland, were analysed for coagulase positive S. aureus. E
OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome of patients operated on acutely for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) or otherwise symptomatic aortic aneurysms in a university hospital and in two county hospitals by the same group of vascular surgeons. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: 1 university and 2 county hospitals, Sweden. SUBJECTS: 108 patients operated on urgently for AAA, 81 at the univers
It has been proposed that the developmentally supportive care of very-low-birthweight (VLBW) infants provided by the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) can improve the infants' opportunities for rest and sleep. The aim of the present study was to determine whether quiet sleep (QS) in VLBW infants is affected by NIDCAP care. Twenty-two infants with a gestation
Monitoring and regulation of fermentations is of a paramount industrial and academic importance in order to keep conditions optimal during the entire process. Established techniques employed today include HPLC and spectrophotometry, which both have the disadvantage that broth samples have to be drawn from the fermentor and that they often require sample pre-treatment. The objectives of this study
Objective. Intrauterine growth restriction ( IUGR) resulting in low birth weight for gestational age may predispose one to development of cardiovascular disease later in life. Abnormal fetal blood flow in the presence of fetal growth restriction helps to distinguish infants with true fetal growth impairment from small but normal infants. Our goal was to investigate associations between IUGR with a

The aim of the present study was to determine whether quiet sleep (QS) in VLBW infants is affected by NIDCAP care. Twenty-two infants with a gestation
BACKGROUND: For 40 years cricoid pressure has been used to prevent regurgitation of gastric contents during induction of anaesthesia. Recent studies have emphasised use of more moderate force so as not to deteriorate ventilation or endotracheal intubation. This study was undertaken to assess the current practice and knowledge of cricoid pressure among anaesthesia personnel in southern Sweden. METH
Aims: To study the cumulative incidence of hospitalization for severe diabetic vascular complications in childhood onset type 1 diabetes patients with special regards to age at onset and gender. Methods: The Swedish Childhood Diabetes Register (SCDR) was linked to the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register up to 31 December 2004. The following diagnoses were traced: diabetic kidney disease, myocardia
OBJECTIVES: To examine pioglitazone as add-on to metformin and insulin secretagogues in patients with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycaemic control and its effect on glycaemic control, surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity (adiponectin) and beta-cell function (proinsulin/insulin) and fluid retention.DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective open-label study of 54 patients with type 2 diabetes and HbA
The high-molecular-mass salivary mucin MG1, one of two major mucins produced by human salivary glands, plays an important role in oral health by coating the tooth surface and by acting as a bacterial receptor. Here this mucin was purified from the submandibular/sublingual saliva of a blood group O individual. The presence of MUC5B as the major mucin in this preparation was confirmed by amino acid
OBJECTIVES: Quantitative monitoring of human cytomegalovirus infections is helpful in determining appropriate antiviral management in patients who receive bone marrow transplants. We sought to design and evaluate a new cytomegalovirus capture hybrid polymerase chain reaction enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PCR-ELISA) in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells to monitor cytomegalovirus in
Purpose: To what extent active surveillance and deferred treatment for localized risk prostate cancer are used is unclear. We assessed the use of surveillance and of deferred treatment in a population based, nationwide cohort in Sweden. Materials and Methods: In the National Prostate Cancer Register of Sweden, with a 98% coverage vs the compulsory Swedish Cancer Registry, we identified 8,304 incid
