This study estimated the risk of second primary malignancies after Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) in relation to family history of cancer, age at diagnosis and latency, among 6946 patients treated for HL in Sweden in 1965-1995 identified through the Swedish Cancer Register (SCR). First-degree relatives (FDRs) to the HL patients and their malignancies were then ascertained together with their malignancies
OBJECTIVES: Under physiological conditions the blood flow velocity waveform in the umbilical vein (UV) has an even non-pulsating pattern. Pulsations in the UV have been described in human fetuses exposed to chronic hypoxia and heart failure. Current techniques for fetal surveillance during labor and delivery involve a risk of both over- and underestimation of fetal hypoxia. We aimed to examine whe
Two variants of the thermostable beta-glucosidase TnBgl1A (wt and N221S/P342L) from Thermotoga neapolitana were immobilized on acrylic supports (Eupergit (R) C, Eupergit (R) C250L, and cryogel) and evaluated at conditions close to the boiling point of water. Thermo-gravimetric analysis showed the supports to be stable <250 degrees C. Both wt and N221S/P342L were covalently bound to oxirane-groups
Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are important tools for modelling impacts of global change on ecosystem services. However, most models do not take full account of human land management and land use and land cover changes (LULCCs). We integrated croplands and pasture and their management and natural vegetation recovery and succession following cropland abandonment into the LPJ-GUESS DGVM.
The aim of this study is to describe in what way the students' learning outcomes and theoretical assumptions are used by teachers to enhance the design of lessons with a focus on development of sustainable learning over time. Seven teachers and 71 students in an upper secondary school participated, along with one researcher. Three lessons were designed and implemented in three different student gr
Background Endoscopic papillectomy is a standard treatment for ampullary lesions, which are typically small and confined to the papillary mound. Laterally spreading lesions (LSLs) of the papilla of Vater are a rare ampullary lesion subtype involving extensive duodenal mucosa. Data on endoscopic papillectomy outcomes for LSLs are limited. This study compared endoscopic papillectomy for ampullary LS
Uronate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.12; URI) catalyzes uronate sugar interconversion, a key step in bacterial metabolism, yet its reaction mechanism remains poorly understood. This study delineates the detailed mechanism for the isomerization of d-glucuronate to d-fructuronate catalyzed by a Zn2+-dependent URI enzyme (from Bacillus halodurans). Using quantum mechanical (QM) cluster calculations, three mec
Introduction – Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a chronic disease to vessels and nerves caused by vibrations. In Sweden, the medical check-up for vibrations (MCV) implements the EU surveillance system to detect early cases. No earlier research has shown participation in MCVs, nor why MCVs is avoided. We aimed to improve the understanding on avoidance of MCVs among vibration-exposed workers. M
We evaluated the association between cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time during surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and mid-term survival. Data of 1122 patients who underwent surgery for ATAAD in eight Nordic centers from January 2005 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. An adjusted logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association of incremental 30
BACKGROUND: The introduction of modern chemotherapy a decade ago has led to increased use of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). A recent North American study demonstrated increased use of NAT and improved operative outcomes in patients with PDAC. The aims of this study were to compare the use of NAT and short-term outcomes in patients with PDAC unde
When acquiring simple three-dimensional (3d) trajectory data it is common to accumulate large coordinate data sets. In order to examine integrity and consistency of object tracking, it is often necessary to rapidly visualise these data. Ordinarily, to achieve this the user must either execute 3d plotting functions in a numerical computing environment or manually inspect data in two dimensions, plo
We study the homogenization of the Dirichlet problem for the Stokes equations in R3 perforated by m spherical particles. We assume the positions and velocities of the particles to be identically and independently distributed random variables. In the critical regime, when the radii of the particles are of order m-1, the homogenization limit u is given as the solution to the Brinkman equations. We p

3D-macroporous chitosan-based scaffolds (cryogels) were produced via growth of metal-polymer coordinated complexes and electrostatic interactions between oppositely charged groups of chitosan and metal ions under subzero temperatures. A mechanism of reduction of noble metal complexes inside the cryogel walls by glutaraldehyde is proposed, which produces discrete and dispersed noble metal nanoparti
Motivationsfaktorer för användning av sociala media-tjänster är ett område som det i dagsläget finns begränsat med forskning om. I denna tvärsnittsstudie har syftet varit att utforska samband mellan motivationsfaktorer för användning av sociala media tjänster, problematiskt bruk av sociala media-tjänster, psykiskt mående och livskvalitet. Skillnader mellan de som identifierat sig som kvinnor respeMotivations for social media use is a topic where there is currently a limited amount of research. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to study correlations between motivations for social media use, problematic use of social media services, mental well-being, and quality of life. Differences between those who identified themselves as women and men were also studied. Data collection was d
