Bloggpost på nutritionsfakta.se.EAT-Lancetkommissionen lanserade 2019 sin ”the great food transformation”, en modell för hälsosamma matvanor för en växande global befolkning som skulle hålla livsmedelssystemet inom planetens gränser.En uppföljande svensk studie har tagit fram ett eget index för att mäta följsamheten till EAT-Lancetkosten, med en poängsättning som gör det möjligt att se hur väl en

Introduction Breathlessness is debilitating and increases in prevalence with age, with people progressively reducing their everyday activities to ‘self-manage’ it. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of breathlessness on function in terms of activities that have been reduced or ceased (‘compromised’) in older men.Methods A cross-sectional postal survey of Swedish 73-year-old man in the VAScula

Omräkning av barns (≥2 år) kreatininvärden till motsvarande värden vid 18 års ålder och applicerade i Lund–Malmö-formeln för vuxna ledde till avsevärt förbättrad skattning av GFR bland barn vid uppmätt GFR <75, bibehållen noggrannhet ≥75 ml/min/1,73m2 och likvärdig med pediatriska formler.Lund–Malmö-formeln kan användas under hela livet ≥2 år utan plötsliga artificiella förändringar i skattad GFR Age-adjustment of creatinine, i.e. recalculation of childhood levels of creatinine to corresponding levels at 18 years of age and applied in the adult revised Lund-Malmö GFR equation led to markedly improved accuracy in Swedish children (n=1 718) at measured GFR <75 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n=318) and preserved high accuracy at ≥75 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n=1 400). The adjusted LMR equation performed as well as de

Intraosseous (IO) access is normally reserved for emergencies and critical care conditions when venous cannulation is not possible. Nonetheless, we present a case of IO insertion to a 56-year-old man, tetraplegic for many years due to progressive spinal muscular atrophy and with refractory suffering. The IO access was used for palliative sedation with propofol in a home care setting. The patient d

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide. Metastasis is the main reason for death in breast cancer, and today, there is a lack of methods to detect and isolate circulating tumor cells (CTCs), mainly due to their heterogeneity and rarity. There are some systems that are designed to detect rare epithelial cancer cells in whole blood based on the most common marker used today, the epi

The emergence of new high brilliance and high coherence facilities such as X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) and 4th generation synchrotrons open a new era in X-ray optics. Dynamical diffraction effects before disregarded are starting to play a role in the beam control of large scale facilities. In the case of XFEL facilities the temporal characteristics of the dynamical diffraction by thin perfe

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, identification of new biomarkers for early diagnosis and detection will improve the clinical outcome of breast cancer patients. In the present study, we determined serum levels of vitronectin (VN) in 93 breast cancer patients, 30 benign breast lesions, 9 precancerous lesions, and 30 healthy individuals by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodet är sammansatt av många olika typer av mogna celler som är ansvariga för specialiserade roller inom blodsystemet. Röda blodceller transporterar syre till kroppens celler, vita blodceller förser oss med försvar mot mikroorganismer och blodplättar ser till att stoppa blödningar. Nybildning av blodceller behövs kontinuerligt eftersom vissa celler lever bara i några dThe blood is composed of many different cell types that through tightly regulated mechanisms are derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). In addition, HSCs are able to undergo self-renewing divisions whereby new HSCs are produced. This is an extremely important feature of HSCs in order to ensure the existence of the HSC pool that is paramount to provide life-long hematopoiesis. Aging is in ge

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer är ett laddat ord, och för de flesta av oss är cancern inte längre bort än hos en nära släkting eller vän. Trots den gemensamma benämningen, är cancer är inte bara en sjukdom, utan ca 200 olika som alla har gemensamt att cellerna börjar dela sig okontrollerat. Cancer är väldigt vanligt och uppskattningsvis kommer var tredje person att drabbas av cancer under sin Early diagnosis and reliable prognosis and treatment prediction of breast cancer will ultimately lead to a decreased mortality rate. This can be achieved by identification of prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers, and by understanding the mechanisms behind early changes in the breast. The cell cycle is a closely controlled process, involving multiple components with regulation on several

There is an urgent need to start generating energy within cities in order to pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient society. Renewable energy by means of active solar energy systems (solar thermal, ST and/or photovoltaics, PV) can be generated using roofs and facades of buildings. In this study, the annual solar energy potential of typical Swedish city blocks was analysed in order to de

Sverige har vid två tillfällen genomfört territoriella kommunreformer genom kommunsammanläggningar. Dessa genomfördes 1952 samt 1971–1975. 2017 tillsattes en parlamentarisk kommitté vars uppdrag var att på nytt se över de kommunala utmaningarna. Kommittén presenterade i sitt slutbetänkande ett förslag om nya frivilliga kommunsammanläggningar. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka varför detta

BACKGROUND: Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, has demonstrated antidepressant efficacy as an augmentation strategy in unipolar and bipolar depression. However, dopaminergic treatments are associated with impulse control disorders, including gambling disorder, and evidence regarding behavioural risks in psychiatric populations remains limited.METHODS: We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort

Det humanitärrättsliga skyddet för civila i konflikter har sedan dess tillkomst främst reglerat internationella konflikter, något som inte förändrats i takt med att konfliktbilden skiftat från att ha dominerats av internationella konflikter till att istället präglas av mer svårdefinierade, interna sådana. Först 1993 togs ett avgörande steg mot en breddning av skyddet då säkerhetsrådet instiftade I

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO:s) policydokument förhåller sig till jus ad bellum som det formuleras i teorin om rättfärdigat krig. Då den moderna folkrätten inte verkar ta upp all krigsföring som förs idag har de teologisk-etiska argumenten kommit tillbaka. Detta har lett till att den här uppsatsen är utformad som den är. Utifrån k

BACKGROUND: In Southeast-Asia, where many conditions associated with dissemination of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) in the community are met, data from the community are scarce but show high ESBL-E carriage prevalence. Maternal ESBL-E colonization is considered a risk factor for neonatal colonization, which is the first step towards developing neonatal sepsis. Despite this, ESBL-E carri

High-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) and low-energy photoemission spectra of oxygen molecules have been measured for investigating the electronic structure of Rydberg states in the O 1s → σ∗ energy region. The electronic characteristics of each Rydberg state have been successfully observed, and new assignments are made for several states. The RIXS spectra clearly show that vi

The TACSI trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03560310) tests the hypothesis that 1-year treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and ticagrelor is superior to only ASA after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The TACSI trial is an investor-initiated pragmatic, prospective, multinational, multicenter, open-

We study the spectral phase introduced by parametric amplification and how high extraction efficiency of energy leads to deterioration of the phase. Avoiding this regime, and using a pulse shaper, we achieve high-contrast ultrashort pulses.
