Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Alzheimers sjukdom (AD) är den vanligaste formen av demenssjukdom och svarar för ca 60 % av dessa patienter. Sjukdomen har en smygande debut och den sjukliga processen i hjärnan börjar troligen decennier innan den ger kliniska symptom som försämrat minne och organisationsförmåga, språksvårigheter, problem med tidsuppfattning och orientering. Även förmågan att uBackground Prospective longitudinal studies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) that include cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment in routine clinical settings are scarce. The patients vary in severity of the disease, clinical course, rate of progression and response to treatment. Knowledge about the predicted course of the disease, sociodemographic and clinical factors affecting the outcome and the i

Importance Active perinatal care increases survival of extremely preterm infants; however, improved survival might be associated with increased disability among survivors. Objective To determine neurodevelopmental outcome in extremely preterm children at 2.5 years (corrected age). Design, Setting, and Participants Population-based prospective cohort of consecutive extremely preterm infants born be

Background & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. Among various dosimetry techniques

I mål om våldtäkt mot barn kan särskilda bevissvårigheter uppstå då ord ofta står mot ord. Det centrala i domstolarnas bevisvärdering i sådana situationer är att värdera tillförlitligheten i barnets muntliga utsaga. Situationen försvåras ytterligare av att barn, enligt rättspsykologisk forskning, har särskilda svårigheter med att framföra muntlig bevisning i fråga om sexuella övergrepp. ExempelvisIn cases of child rape, evidentiary difficulties can arise as one person’s word often stands against another’s. The courts’ primary task in these situations is to assess the reliability of the child’s oral statement. These situations are further complicated by the fact that children, according to forensic psychology research, face difficulties in presenting oral evidence of sexual abuse. For insta

Höje å har de senaste 200 åren blivit 50 procent kortare och förlorat 90 procent av avrinningsområdets våtmarker. För att kunna klara av framtida behov gällande matproduktion och utbyggnad av städer krävs effektiv avvattning av landskapet. Traditionella diken är bra på att avvattna mark, men medför många nackdelar för biologisk mångfald och näringstransport från jordbruksmark till havet. Tvåstegsd

Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera Företag A och Företag B, spegla teorier om strategi och struktur mot verkligheten och utifrån det ge förslag på hur företagen normativt kan strukturera sin verksamhet efter företagsförvärvet. Vi har använt oss av en deduktiv metod och vi har gjort en kvalitativ undersökning. Vi har utgått från två teorier om företags strategi samt teori om två ytterligheter av

Background: Several aggregate data meta-analyses have provided estimates of the effectiveness of influenza vaccination in community-dwelling elderly people. However, these studies ignored the effects of patient-level confounders such as sex, age, and chronic diseases that could bias effectiveness estimates. We aimed to assess the confounder-adjusted effectiveness of influenza vaccines on laborator

BACKGROUND: Timely assessment of the burden of HIV/AIDS is essential for policy setting and programme evaluation. In this report from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we provide national estimates of levels and trends of HIV/AIDS incidence, prevalence, coverage of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and mortality for 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015.METHODS: For countri

Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy is central to the long-term management of asthma and is extensively used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While administration via inhalation limits systemic exposure compared with oral or injected corticosteroids and, therefore, the risk of systemic corticosteroid-related adverse effects, concerns over the long-term safety of

BACKGROUND: Because hemodilution decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, it was hypothesized that severe hemodilution would decrease the tolerance to alveolar hypoxia. METHODS: Hemodynamics, oxygen transport, and blood lactate concentrations were compared in ten pigs with normal hematocrit (33 +/- 4%), and ten hemodiluted pigs (hematocrit 11 +/- 1%; mean +/- SD) anesthetized with ketamine

There is increasing evidence that short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) formed by colonic fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates have beneficial physiological effects. Butyric acid is the main energy substrate for the colonic mucosa and has been implicated as important in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the colonic mucosa, such as distal ulcerative colitis and cancer. Propionic acid, on t

Objective: To evaluate under- and overreporting and their determinants in the EPIC :24-hour diet recall (24-HDR) measurements collected in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design: Cross-sectional analysis. 24-HDR measurements were obtained by means of a standardised computerised interview program (EPIC-SOFT). The ratio of reported energy intake (EI) to estim

The aim of the present study was to examine mean HbA1c and blood pressure levels during a 5 year period in 442 type 1 adult diabetic patients in relation to the incidence and progression of retinopathy, nephropathy and to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The study showed, that in patients under routine care at a diabetic unit with four visits to the out-patient clinic per year, the intraind

The thesis concerns glycosyl transfer with use of b-glycosidases, most of them from hyperthermophilic organisms. Both optimisation of the reaction conditions and protein engineering in terms of site-directed mutagenesis were used to improve b-glycosidase-catalysed reactions. The first part of the work deals with conversion of lactose into valuable products such as galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) an

ABSTRACT: While there is a large variation of prevalence of asthma symptoms worldwide, what we do know is that it is on the rise in

Ambient fine particulate matter PM2.5 (particles with a diameter smaller than 2.5 μm) has been associated with cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality. It has been shown that biomass burning for heat production purposes can generate large amounts of fine particles. Thus characteristics of particle emissions from biofuel combustion may be important in the assessment of health effects
