Introduction: Over the last decades, induction of labor has increased in many countries along with increasing maternal age. We assessed the effects of maternal age and labor induction on cesarean section at term among nulliparous and multiparous women without previous cesarean section. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective national registry-based study from Denmark, Finland, Iceland,

Calculations of excited-state potential energy surfaces (PESs) are useful to predict key properties relating to the deactivation cascade of transition-metal complexes. Here, we first perform full free optimizations of the relevant excited-state minima, followed by extensive two-dimensional PES calculations based on the minima of interest. Maps of the lowest triplet excited-state surfaces of two bi

Objective: To assessmyoepithelium with p63 in fresh breast cancer (BC)tissue samples collected in RNA later for further analysis with NextGeneration Sequencing (NGS) technique. For a better understanding ofthe NGS bulk-analysis, a central part of the sample in RNA-later isformalin-fixed paraffin-embedded to score relative cellularity in % onhematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining (% of invasive cancer, ca

Objective: Estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer (BC) can havean insidious course with disease-relapse decades after primary surgery.New analysis performed on archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded(FFPE) tissue are important for disease-management in late BC-relapseand an important tool in BC-research. However, although loss of immunoreactivityin tissue slides after sectioning has been

With the present demand on fast and inexpensive aerosol source apportionment methods, the Aethalometer model was evaluated for a full seasonal cycle (June 2014–June 2015) at a rural atmospheric measurement station in southern Sweden by using radiocarbon and levoglucosan measurements. By utilizing differences in absorption of UV and IR, the Aethalometer model apportions carbon mass into wood burnin

Background: Late health consequences of treatment for childhood leukemia are well documented. Although individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have a substantially increased risk of leukemia, information on late effects in this group is almost nonexistent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mortality and morbidity among 5-year leukemia survivors with DS. Procedure: We compared 5-year leukemia s

In the Industry 4.0 era, time-sensitive and missioncritical control applications still have a long way to go, from being tied down and co-located with the systems they control, to taking full advantage of the cloud. Conservatively keeping applications local will deprive these complex applications of abundantcompute capacity, wider system integration, and the potential for collaborative control eff

In a recent paper we presented a procedure for optimal analyticalcontrol of several deformable mirrors based on only the measured guidestar wavefronts. The expected performance was evaluated for variousguide star configurations using up to three deformable mirrors. Forsimplicity the guide stars were assumed to be infinitely distant. Inthis paper we address the effect of using laser guide stars in

The rapidly growing interest in photocatalytic systems for direct solar fuel production such as hydrogen generation from water splitting is grounded in the unique opportunity to achieve charge separation in molecular systems provided by electron transfer processes. In general, both photoinduced and catalytic processes involve complicated dynamics that depend on both structural and electronic effec

Quantum chemical calculations for two TiO2 nanoparticle cluster models (rutile–(TiO2)n with n = 20, and anatase–(TiO2)n with n = 92), selected to represent different nanoparticle size regimes, are used to elucidate structural influences on the electronic properties. Structural and electronic properties were obtained using a variety of computational methods and structure optimisation schemes, inclu

Background: Presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a validated prognostic marker in metastatic breast cancer. Additional prognostic information may be obtained by morphologic characterization of CTCs. We explored whether apoptotic CTCs, CTC clusters and leukocytes attached to CTCs are associated with breast cancer subtype and prognosis at base-line (BL) and in follow-up (FU) blood samples i
