Popular Abstract in Swedish En populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Det faktum att vårt minne förändra's med åldern är ett välkänt och väldokumenterat fenomen. Vilka faktorer som bidrar till denna förändring och hur de samverkar för att påverka vårt minne är däremot till stora delar forfarande ett mysterium. Minnesforskare delar vanligtvi's upp vårt minne i flera olika minnessystem. Dessa dela's upThe aim of this thesis was to examine the importance of environmental, non-cognitive, and person-based variables for memory performance in old adults. Study I was conducted in cooperation with the Gerontology Research Centre and the Department of Psychology in Lund. The investigation included 69 people with an age-range from 55-94 years and examined if certain personality factors could explain th

Background It has been suggested that target temperature management (TTM) increases the probability of infectious complications after cardiac arrest. We aimed to compare the incidence of pneumonia, severe sepsis and septic shock after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in patients with two target temperatures and to describe changes in biomarkers and possible mortality associated with these inf

Background Technological advancements over the last decades have resulted in an increased degree of digitalisation within as well as in between companies around the world. As a result, requirements on companies in general are growing and global competition is steadily increasing. One area for which this is highly relevant, and for which there is still a lot of potential for improvement, is industr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer behandlas i första hand med kirurgi, cellgifter och extern strålbehandling. Under senare år har man dessutom utvecklat så kallade målsökande behandlingar, som binder till en viss struktur i tumören. De kan verka på olika sätt: antingen genom att blockera en signal i cellerna och på så vis hindra tumören från att växa, eller genom att stimulera patientens immunförIn radioimmunotherapy, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are used as a targeting agent carrying a toxic payload consisting of radionuclides. This treatment allows the irradiation of small lesions, even on the microscopic level. In the present work, two radionuclides with different properties were used. Lutetium-177 (177Lu) is a beta-particle-emitting radionuclide (t½=6.7 days) and astatine-211 (211At)

Background: Innate defence mechanisms of the airways are impaired in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), predisposing patients to lower respiratory tract infections, but less is known about the association with other infections. In this population-based cohort study, we investigated the associations between COPD and invasive bacterial disease by comparing incidence rates of bacteraemia i

Aims P2Y(12) receptor antagonism and platelet inhibition by prasugrel vs. clopidogrel were investigated in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Methods and results One hundred and ten aspirin treated subjects were randomized to double-blind treatment with clopidogrel (n = 55) 600 mg loading dose (LD) and 75 mg maintenance dose (MD) or prasugrel (n = 55) 60 mg LD and 10 mg MD for 28 days.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut bukspottkörtelinflammation är en sjukdom som drabbar ungefär 35 per 100 000 invånare i Sverige årligen. Förloppet innebär i flertalet fall ett komplikationsfritt tillfrisknande. Cirka 20% drabbas dock av en allvarlig form som kräver stora sjukvårdsresurser och innebär avsevärd sjuklighet, inkluderande risk för vävnadsdöd i bukspottkörteln, lokala och spridda infekt

Background Non-heart-beating donor lung has been a promising source of lung transplantation. Many studies on non-heart-beating donor lungs are based on animal lung transplantation. In this study, we assessed by organ bath the effect of one-hour warm ischemia on the non-heart-beating donor lung in terms of the integrity of contractile and relaxant functions and tissue structures of pulmonic arterie

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global disease affecting more than 3.5 million people in the world, resulting in a high burden to societies. More research on IBD is definitely in need to prevent the disease and treat IBD patients. The intestinal epithelial barriers of IBD patients are weakened due to the inflammation, thereby, enteric microbes in the gut may translocate to the circulating sy

Research suggests that polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, that are found in considerable amounts in many types of berries, contributes with a positive effect on human cognition. However, clinical trials are warranted to support these findings. Preparation for such a trial includes developing a berry-rich study product and a corresponding reference beverage. Phenolic compounds are highly unstable a

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common, especially among athletes. The injury often leaves the patient with consequences, such as affected postural orientation, impaired functional performance, and muscle weakness, even after rehabilitation is completed. In addition to performance-based tests, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) may be used to measure the patient’s

Länge ansågs en triad av symtom, bestående av blödning under den hårda hjärnhinnan, ögonbottenblödning och hjärnpåverkan, innebära att ett barn hade blivit skakat. Triaden uppfattades även av svenska domstolar som stark bevisning för att ett barn blivit skakat och det finns flera fall där den tilltalade dömts med enbart triaden som bevisning. Anledningen till detta är att de experter som hördes i For a long time, a triad of symptoms, namely subdural hematoma, retinal bleedings and brain impacts, were considered an indication that a child had been shaken (the shaken baby syndrome). The triad was perceived as strong evidence by Swedish courts, demonstrated by several cases where the defendants were convicted based exclusively on the existence of this triad. The reason for this was that exper

The proportion of older adults in Sweden (aged 65 and older) is expected to be 25 % of the total population by 2060. Currently, the number of elders in Sweden who need help to prepare their meals are approximately 250,000. The creation of unique and customized food products and beverages targeting the health and nutritional requirements of the elderly population comes with challenges. New food-bas

In this thesis project, properties and factors that are involved in the fractionation of wood when using deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been investigated. The project is based on an earlier project that was conducted at RISE Processum in Örnsköldsvik and the results from that is the foundation for trials in this project. In that first project, five different DES were used (Oxalic acid, Lactic

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur efterlevande makes arvsrätt och andra ekonomiska skyddsregler vid händelse av den ena makens död är uppbyggda.

Uppsatsens behandlar den nedre gränsen för uppsåt i svensk rätt, gränsen mellan uppsåt och oaktsamhet. Uppsatsen fokuserar på hur uppsåtets nedre gräns kom att förändras i och med NJA 2004 s. 176 och hur uppsåtets nedre gräns och bevisning kring denna tillämpas i praxis idag. Uppsatsen undersöker också om dagens rättsläge ligger i linje med den som HD förespråkade i NJA 2004 s. 176 och om en ytterThis essay discusses the lower limit of intent, the line between intent and carelessness.
