BACKGROUND: Low anterior resection syndrome is common after sphincter-sparing surgery, but it is unclear to what extent anastomotic leakage after anterior resection contributes to this condition. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess the long-term effect of anastomotic leakage on the occurrence of major low anterior resection syndrome. DESIGN: This is a retrospective observational cohort s
Currently, the AquaCrop model has been widely tested for many fruit/grain crops; root and tuber crops; leafy vegetables, or forage crops, but is restricted to annual herbaceous species, while deciduous crops have received less if no attention. In this context, this study aims to test for the first time the ability of the AquaCrop model to simulate canopy cover (CC), actual evapotranspiration (ETa)
China is urbanizing at an unprecedented rate, but also accelerating the use of water resources and overloading of urban drainage systems. To analyze the impact of urbanization on the drainage-system health in Jinxi, a typical small case area in China, this study proposed an innovative methodological framework for evaluation and prediction based on statistical and modeling methods, which provides a
A search for the pair production of heavy leptons as predicted by the type-III seesaw mechanism is presented. The search uses proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to 139fb-1 of integrated luminosity recorded by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis focuses on final states with three or four electrons or muons from the
Objectives: To develop EULAR recommendations for screening and prophylaxis of chronic and opportunistic infections in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD). Methods: An international Task Force (TF) (22 members/15 countries) formulated recommendations, supported by systematic literature review findings. Level of evidence and grade of recommendation were assigned for each
BackgroundMultigene expression assays for molecular subtypes and biomarkers can aid clinical management of early invasive breast cancer. Based on RNA-sequencing we aimed to develop single-sample predictor (SSP) models for conventional clinical markers, molecular intrinsic subtype and risk of recurrence (ROR).MethodsA uniformly accrued breast cancer cohort of 7743 patients with RNA-sequencing data
Vid utgrävningar på Løgstrup SØ II, Fiskbӕk s:n, Nørlyng h:d (Jylland) påträffades under 2008 års utgrävningssäsong flertalet tydliga spår av bronshantverk i form av deglar, gjutformar, råmaterial m.m. Bland fynden fanns tre stycken metalltenar vilka förmodades vara råmaterial (tenn) för bronsgjuteri. För att bekräfta vad dessa tenar består av har Keramiska Forskningslaboratoriet, Lunds Universite
Psychosocial treatments improve outcome in Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD), but few are developed specifically for adolescents and none has been evaluated in Europe. This study evaluates family-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy for adolescents (ages 13-18) with PBD in routine psychiatric care in Sweden, adapted for teenagers in a European setting from the Child and Family-Focused Cognitive Beh
Introduction TCP-25 gel is intended for use in treatment of wound infection and inflammation. Current local therapies for wounds have limited efficacy to prevent infections and there are no wound treatments available today that target the excessive inflammation that often hampers wound healing in both acute and chronic wounds. There is therefore a high medical need for new therapeutic alternatives
In a double blind randomised multicentre study the effect of intravenous clodronate plus hydration was compared with placebo plus hydration in the treatment of hypercalcaemia in breast cancer patients with bone metastases. The patients were treated either with hydration plus clodronate 300 mg/day or hydration plus placebo, up to 7 days or until serum ionised calcium was below 1.4 mmol/l. 25 patien
Denna sammanläggningsavhandling bygger på den kritiska teorins ambition att som en motbild till rådande läge skapa en bild av hur ett frigörande och i politiskt avseende realistiskt alternativ skulle kunna se ut, ett alternativ som innebär att personer som har utsatts för sexuellt våld får ett erkännande och kan delta i samhällslivet på lika villkor som andra. Mer specifikt är syftet att förstå hThe compilation dissertation is shaped by the ambition of Critical Theory, which is to imagine an alternative and emancipatory political reality to the status quo, where people who have been subjected to sexual violence are recognised and enjoy parity of participation in social life. More specifically, it aims to understand how victim-survivors of sexual violence in Iceland perceive, experience, a
PURPOSE: The presence of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in one eye is a major risk factor for the development of disease in the fellow eye. Several methods exist to help physicians monitor the fellow eye, with new technologies becoming increasingly available. METHODS: We provide an overview of modalities for nAMD monitoring, including advances in home-based options, and review
The aim of the present study is to develop a mathematical model for evaluating therapeutic response of combined treatment modalities. The study was performed in rats of the Fischer-344 strain with rat glioma N32 or N29 tumors implanted subcutaneously on the thigh of the hind leg. Pulsed electric fields, PEF, with 16 exponentially decaying pulses with a maximum electric field strength of 140 V/mm a
