Introduction: Complicated perianal disease (cPD) may be the sole presentation of Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the diagnostic algorithm of cPD is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the role of SBCE as a diagnostic tool, in patients with cPD, after a negative standard workup for CD. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study, in patients with
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy in detecting signs of fetal hypoxia in labour of intermittent (I-group) versus continuous (C-group) electronic fetal monitoring in women with low or moderate risk factors for fetal distress. DESIGN: A prospective, randomised study. SETTING: A tertiary referral centre. SUBJECTS: Four thousand and forty-four parturients at low risk for obstetric complications with
Most of the recombinant proteins produced nowadays are fused to affinity tags, in order to facilitate their purification through affinity chromato-graphy. Out the different tags available, poly-histidine tags are among the most commonly used and can help purification through immobilised metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). In this thesis, we present different metal binding tags, and their af
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad framgång är i dagens skandinaviska elitfotbollsklubbar och vilka strategier som är användbara för att uppnå denna. Uppsatsen ämnar således belysa och klargöra de viktigaste aspekterna i en lyckad strategi inom en modern skandinavisk fotbollsklubb. Med denna kunskap har vi för avsikt att återge en bild över hur en elitfotbollsklubb strategiskt bör organiser
Armlängdsprincipen kan betraktas som en av de mest centrala principerna inom den internationella beskattningsrätten. I OECD:s modellavtal, som ligger till grund för utformningen av bilaterala dubbelbeskattningsavtal, stadgas armlängdsprincipen i artikel 9, den regel som tillåter korrigering av ett företags vinst när interna transaktioner prissatts på ett sätt som inte är armlängdsmässigt. SamtidigThe ALP can be considered one of the most significant principles within international taxation law. It is regulated under article 9 of the OECD MTC, which acts as a model for developing new bilateral tax treaties. According to article 9, the profit of an enterprise may be adjusted if the enterprise has been involved in transactions with an associated enterprise on conditions that are not of an arm
As the new generation of Information Technology is progressing at a rapid pace, with big data establishing a trend in organisations, integration between systems becomes substantial. In this chapter, we particularly look at information security as a system that has become an essential part of Business Intelligence (BI). BI systems represent one type of decision support system (DSS) with a focus on
In multi-view sports broadcasting, extracting high-quality highlights and selecting the optimal camera angle from concurrent video streams is traditionally a labor-intensive process with significant computational overhead. This thesis explores the feasibility of automating the production of multi-view sports highlights using Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). To manage the high computatio
Background: Under inflammatory conditions, T cell-dependent (TD) protein antigens induce proinflammatory T-and B-cell responses. In contrast, tolerance induction by TD antigens without costimulation triggers the development of regulatory T cells. Under both conditions, IgG antibodies are generated, but whether they have different immunoregulatory functions remains elusive. Objective: It was shown
Increasing demands for highly sensitive, accurate, fast and portable analytical assays have led to the development of new analytical tools. The integration of highly specific biological sensing elements and appropriate transducers has enabled design of even more efficient biosensor devices for the detection of target substances. In a clinical setting, early detection of biomarkers is crucial for
To estimate incremental costs for patients with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis (PsO/PsA) compared to population-based referents free from PsO/PsA and estimate costs attributable specifically to PsO/PsA.
Mörk materia har funnits sedan tidernas begynnelse, från den Stora Smällen. Under Universums första hundratals miljoner år var tyngdkraften från den mörka materian så kraftfull att den drog till sig den vanliga materian, som muskler till revben, och formade gigantiska strukturer. De första galaxerna växte där dessa strängar möttes.Galaxer kolliderade med andra galaxer, och slogs samman för att
Security for outsourced control applications can be provided if the physical plant is enabled with a mechanism to verify the control signal received from the cloud. Recent developments in modern cryptography claim the applicability of verifiable computation techniques. Such techniques allow a client to check the correctness of a remote execution. This article delivers a proof of concept for applic
OBJECTIVE: Determination of lactate in fetal scalp blood (FBS) during labour has been recognised since the 1970s. The internationally accepted cutoff of >4.8 mmol/l indicating fetal acidosis is exclusive for the point-of-care device (POC) LactatePro™, which is no longer in production. The aim of this study was to establish a new cutoff for scalp lactate based on neonatal outcomes with the use of t
This paper reconsiders how central banks get involved in the process of determining nominal variables such as market interest rates and inflation rates. It is argued that the traditional story deriving central bank power from its monopoly of issuing base money is flawed. That story - in its various guises - is based on the quantity equation. This equation, however, is only applicable in the hypoth
