The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic superstructure that regulates multiple cellular functions and that has been implicated in cell death regulation. We investigated whether modulating the neuronal actin cytoskeleton polymerization by Rho GTPase kinase (ROCK) inhibition influences cell death in hippocampal neuronal cultures and in murine organotypic hippocampal slice cultures subjected to in vitro
To conduct a survey across European cardiac centres to evaluate the methods used for cerebral protection during aortic surgery involving the aortic arch.
Background: The importance of early life conditions and current conditions for mortality in later life was assessed using historical data from four rural parishes in southern Sweden. Both demographic and economic data are valid. Methods: Longitudinal demographic and socioeconomic data for individuals and household socioeconomic data from parish registers were combined with local area data on food
We tested one of the foundational hypotheses of the field of ecological immunology: that it is difficult for animals to simultaneously carry out two or more especially demanding physiological processes at optimal levels because of energy needs or other factors that cause tradeoffs among competing components of life history. We investigated possible effects of molt (a costly life-history stage that
BACKGROUND: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with mitomycin C has been applied following cytoreductive surgery for various peritoneal surface malignancies. The aim of this study was to evaluate heat penetration in the abdomen during 10 HIPEC procedures.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Temperature measurements were taken at 5 levels through the abdominal wall. Core temperature and room tempe
Objective: This paper analyses intergenerational relationships in Sweden during the corona pandemic, with a special focus on practices of care. The research question is: How is care between generations – between grandparents, adult children and grandchildren – done during pandemic conditions? Background: In Sweden, where an extensive welfare state provides affordable child- and eldercare, the coro
The development of gut microbiota during ontogeny is emerging as an important process influencing physiology, immunity and fitness in vertebrates. However, knowledge of how bacteria colonize the juvenile gut, how this is influenced by changes in the diversity of gut bacteria and to what extent this influences host fitness, particularly in nonmodel organisms, is lacking. Here we used 16S rRNA gene
During peritoneal dialysis (PD), a major portion of the osmotically induced water transport to the peritoneum can be predicted to occur through endothelial water-selective channels. Aquaporin-1 (AQP-1) has recently been recognized as the molecular correlate to such channels. Aquaporins can be inhibited by mercurials. In the present study, HgCl2 was applied locally to the peritoneal cavity in rats

What was the outcome of Sweden’s fiscal policy between 2009 and 2012 and why was it different from forecasts? Research by the OECD during the financial crisis, used by the Swedish Government to illustrate their fiscal policy, suggested that Sweden would have the biggest stimulus of all OECD countries. However, Sweden’s fiscal policy ended up rather modest. By examining the forecasted fiscal policy
Background: Childhood adversity (CA) leads to greater vulnerability for psychopathology by causing structural as well as functional brain abnormalities. Recent findings on gray matter effects point towards the importance of identifying CA outcome as a function of different CA types, varying in the dimensions of threat and deprivation. Using diffusion tensor imaging, we investigate whether differen
Abstract In childhood atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most frequent inflammatory condition. Validated eczema questionnaires have been available for schoolchildren only, but the incidence of atopic dermatitis is highest during infancy. Evidence is needed on the further development of asthma, and rhinitis in these infants with AD and on remission of AD in children. We aimed to validate a parental ques

Background: Although patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are advised to stop interferon (IFN) beta-1a therapy before becoming pregnant, some patients become pregnant while on treatment. Methods: We examined individual patient data from eight clinical trials with IFN beta-1a. Results: Of 3,361 women in the studies, 69 pregnancies were reported, of which 41 were patients receiving (or who had stop
