Earlier treatment of breast cancer results in better survival. Screening enables this through detection of tumors before they cause symptoms. On the negative side, some tumors if not detected through screening would not cause symptoms, leading to overdiagnosis. Improvements in image quality allow even earlier detection and diagnosis of even smaller tumors at an even earlier stage. This study aims

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most prevalent and aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer. The combination of late-stage diagnosis and the tendency to exhibit resistance to existing treatments highlights a critical gap in effective therapeutic options. There is thus a need for novel strategies for targeting HGSOC, particularly in its advanced stages. To address this gap, we developed

Diarrhoeal disease is the second leading cau- se of death in children under five years old, and is responsible for killing around 525 000 children every year. The spread of diseases is also a problem in our western society. Thanks to our developed me- dical infrastructure not to the extent as in de- veloping countries. Nevertheless the amount of work and school hours missed because of preven

Bakgrund: Målet med rehabilitering är att hjälpa personer med funktionsnedsättning att återvända till sina vardagsaktiviteter och leva ett så bra liv som möjligt utifrån personens förutsättningar. Virtual Reality (VR) används i hälso-och sjukvården, bland annat inom strokerehabilitering. Syfte: Hur upplever vuxna patienter med funktionsnedsättning och rehabiliteringspersonal VR vid rehabilitering?Background: The purpose of rehabilitation is to support people with disabilities to return to their everyday activities and live as good a life as possible. For a rehabilitation process to be successful the patient needs to feel motivated. Virtual Reality (VR) is used in healthcare within e.g. stroke rehabilitation. Aim/Purpose: How do adult patients with disabilities and clinicians experience VR

Inadequate water infrastructural development and high costs of water are few of the many challenges that affect water access in Kibera. Consequently, many alternatives to piped water grew out of necessity to meet the needs of residents. The aim of this thesis is to examine the conditions that have led to poor water provision in Kibera and how transitions to improved water access can be achieved by

The puzzle is long lasting conflicts. The conflict in Northern Ireland lasted from 1968 until 2007. Although there appeared to be a religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants it was a much more complex situation. My hypothesis is that Northern Ireland had a structural inequality that hindered the peace process. My aim is to test the Copenhagen school theory of social security with Northe

A proteoglycan is a protein with at least one glycosidic chain or glycosaminoglycan (GAG) covalently bound to it. Since a common linker between the core protein and the GAG chain has a xylose present, the biosynthesis of GAGs can be primed using xylosides containing hydrophobic aglycons providing that these xylosides are capable of penetrating the cell membrane. 2-naphthyl β-D-xylopyranoside prim

Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant syndrome that predisposes individuals to development of cancers early in life. These cancers are mainly the following: colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, small intestine, stomach and urinary tract cancers. LS is caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes (MMR), mostly MLH1 and MSH2, which are responsible for more than 85% of known germline

C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration is a heritable systemic marker of inflammation that is associated with cardiovascular disease risk. Genome-wide association studies have identified CRP-associated common variants associated in ∼25 genes. Our aims were to apply exome sequencing to (1) assess whether the candidate loci contain rare coding variants associated with CRP levels and (2) perform an e

Background/Aims: Factors including rate of disease progression, different aspects of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment, and use of community-based services might affect the longitudinal outcome of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Whether these factors alter life expectancy in AD is unclear. We therefore examined the association between long-term ChEI therapy and survival. Methods: The present stu

Nanodiscs are self-assembled nanostructures composed of a belt protein and a small patch of lipid bilayer, which can solubilize membrane proteins in a lipid bilayer environment. We present a method for the alignment of a well-defined two-dimensional layer of nanodiscs at the air-water interface by careful design of an insoluble surfactant monolayer at the surface. We used neutron reflectivity to d

Overwash, the flow of water and sediment over the crest of a beach, contributes to flooding and the deposition of sand landward of the beach crest. Washover, the sand deposited by overwash, contributes to the sediment budget and migration of barrier islands. The ability to predict the occurrence, location, and thickness of overwash deposits is important for coastal residents, coastal town planners

Well-organised PLB gives rise to a X-ray diffraction pattern overlaid by a scattering pattern arising from individual tubules within less wellorganised regions of the lattice. TEM and SAXS measurements were used to characterise the structural changes in PLB subjected to perturbation by freeze-thaw, exposure to pH 6.5, or resuspension in high-salt media. Comparison of SAXS patterns measured, before

Elevated concentrations of arsenic in drinking water are common worldwide, however, little is known about the presence of other potentially toxic elements. We analyzed 31 different elements in drinking water collected in San Antonio de los Cobres and five surrounding Andean villages in Argentina, and in urine of the inhabitants, using ICP-MS. Besides confirmation of elevated arsenic concentrations
