A series of four new analogue phases Ca2M2X (M = Pd, Pt and X = Al, Ge) were prepared by direct combination of the respective elements in stoichiometric mixtures at high temperature in order to analyze the impact of valence electron count (vec) and electronegativity differences (Delta chi) on the structure selection and stability. Their crystal structures, as determined from single-crystal X-ray d

Background No effective standard treatment exists for patients with radioiodine-refractory, advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of vandetanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of RET, VEGFR and EGFR signalling, in this setting. Methods In this randomised, double-blind, phase 2 trial, we enrolled adults (aged >= 18 years) with locally advanced or metastatic

The Baltic Sea is one of many aquatic ecosystems that show long-term declines in dissolved silicate (DSi) concentrations due to anthropogenic alteration of the biogeochemical Si cycle. Reductions in DSi in aquatic ecosystems have been coupled to hydrological regulation reducing inputs, but also with eutrophication, although the relative significance of both processes remains unknown for the observ

Intermittent Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)((1-34)) has an established place in osteoporosis treatment, but also shows promising results in models of bone repair. Previous studies have been dominated by closed fracture models, where union is certain. One of the major clinical needs for anabolic therapies is the treatment of open and high energy fractures at risk of non-union. In the present study we th

Background: Podocalyxin-like 1 (PODXL) is a cell-adhesion glycoprotein and stem cell marker that has been associated with an aggressive tumour phenotype and adverse outcome in several cancer types. We recently demonstrated that overexpression of PODXL is an independent factor of poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to validate these results in two additional indepen

BACKGROUND: Hemostatic disorders are common in obstetric complications. Thromboelastography (TEG (R)) simultaneously measures coagulation and fibrinolysis within 10 to 20 minutes. Our primary aim in this prospective longitudinal study was to obtain knowledge about physiological changes in TEG (R) variables during normal pregnancy and 8 weeks postpartum. The secondary aims were to compare TEG (R) v

The complement system, a part of the innate immune system with several links to the adaptive immune system, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. The purpose of this thesis was to document and clarify some of these mechanisms. The thesis is based on four papers (I-IV). (I and II) Autoantibodies to the C3 cleaving enzyme complex of the alternative pathway, C3 nephritic facto

The transition from animal-based to plant-based proteins is rapidly increasing because of different concerns about meat consumption, some being the nutritional and environmental effects of meat consumption. During this transition, there needs to be a holistic approach to assessing plant-based food. This master thesis is focused on investigating the nutritional and environmental impact of three pla

Background: The global plant-based food shift puts high pressure on manufacturing capacity at facilities like Oatly's Landskrona site. This environment faces high combinatorial complexity due to growing product variety and sequence-dependent cleaning requirements. Relying on manual, experience-based planning to navigate these rules limits throughput and introduces organisational risk. Purpose

Biodiversity hotspots are biogeographic regions exceptionally rich in endemic species showing high rates of habitat loss, making them the priority of global conservation efforts. As part of the biodiversity hotspot with the highest density of endemic species, the West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania require an efficient and resourceful monitoring solution. This thesis aimed to model the tree specie

Forest Aboveground biomass (AGB) is an important indicator of forest carbon storage, but long-term, high-resolution, and spatially continuous Aboveground biomass estimation remains challenging. This study produced annual forest Aboveground biomass estimates across mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands from 2000 to 2024 at 30 m resolution by combining Landsat time series, Global Ecosystem Dynamic

Background: The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) can be beneficial in several ways. However, presentations of PROM data from individuals living with, through, or beyond cancer are scarce in the existing scientific literature, and challenges in presenting and interpreting PROM data may be an explanation. Our overall aim was to describe aspects of wellbeing in individuals living with

Introduction: Glycolytic activity and hypoxia are associated with poor prognosis and radiation resistance. Including both the tumor uptake of 2-deoxy-2-[18 F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and the proposed hypoxia tracer copper(II)diacetyl-bis(N4)-methylsemithio-carbazone (Cu-ATSM) in targeted therapy planning may therefore lead to improved tumor control. In this study we analyzed the overlap between s

We propose a novel analytical time-domain model for migration of Raman scattered photons in inhomogeneous two-layer diffusive media. Based on this model, the methods for reconstruction of the Raman spectra of the two layers are developed, tested in simulations and validated on phantom measurements data.

Aims/hypothesis: Low birthweight is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes but it is unknown whether low birthweight is associated with distinct clinical characteristics at disease onset. We examined whether a lower or higher birthweight in type 2 diabetes is associated with clinically relevant characteristics at disease onset. Methods: Midwife records were traced for 6866 individuals with type 2 diabe

Background: Violence due to firearms is a major global public health issue and vascular injuries from firearms are particularly lethal. The aim of this study was to analyse population-based epidemiology of firearm-related vascular injuries. Methods: This was a retrospective nationwide epidemiological study including all patients with firearm injuries from the national Swedish Trauma Registry (SweT

BACKGROUND: This is an open-label, single-arm, single-center pilot study using 7-Tesla in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) to measure brain cortical glutathione concentration at baseline before and during the use of oral fumarates as a disease-modifying therapy for multiple sclerosis. The primary endpoint of this research was the change in prefrontal cortex glutathione concentr
