The utilization of low calorific value gases (LCVG) in combustion devices presents particular challenges in terms of ignition and sustained combustion stability due to the presence of non-combustible components. Moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion has emerged as a promising technology for LCVG combustion, offering numerous advantages such as high combustion efficiency, reduce
The concentrations of gas-phase potassium hydroxide (KOH), potassium chloride (KCl) and atomic potassium (K(g)) were quantitatively measured from the near-surface to downstream area of burning pinewood pellets by a newly developed photofragmentation tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (PF-TDLAS) technique to reveal the original form of the released potassium. The novel arrangement of the P

Background: The objective of this study was to explore the potential of Airspace Dimension Assessment (AiDA) to rapidly determine the type and severity of airway obstruction, detect emphysema in individuals with chronic airflow limitation (CAL), and distinguish it from non-emphysematous obstruction, asthma, and absence of respiratory disease with normal spirometry. Methods: Among the 744 participa
Oligomers are transient toxic species in amyloidoses such as Alzheimer's disease. The binding of oligomers by human chaperone proteins has been inferred from the lack of detectable interactions with monomeric amyloid proteins and delay of fibril formation at sub-stoichiometric chaperone to monomer molar ratios. In this study, we provide direct experimental evidence for the binding of the human cha
Tendons adapt their structure and mechanical behavior in response to mechanical loading, where mechanical stimuli, such as strain, are believed to play a pivotal role. Recent studies employing finite element modeling have provided detailed insights into the distribution of strain across tendon structures under various loading conditions. However, most researchers have adopted highly simplified geo
Rapid advances in tissue preservation and the growing adoption of machine perfusion have fundamentally reshaped solid-organ and tissue transplantation in recent years. Multiple short-term perfusion devices have received regulatory approval and are increasingly used in clinical practice to preserve grafts for several hours, improving allograft assessment. The boundaries of dynamic tissue preservati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Delaktighet i biståndsbedömning av äldre personer inför kommunalt bistånd. Äldre personers, familjemedlemmars och biståndsbedömares upplevelser. Den äldre generationen förväntas snabbt öka i Sverige och i övriga Europa under de kommande årtiondena. De äldres vårdbehov kommer att öka och därmed förväntas svårigheter att ombesörja tillräcklig kommunal vård och omsorg. ÅlAim: The overall aim of this thesis was to illuminate older persons' experience of becoming in need of public home help and their family members' experience of this situation. Further, the aim was to illuminate experiences of participation in the needs assessment process of older people and influence on decisions about public home help from the perspective of older needs-assessed persons, their fa
AIMS: To study HLA-DQB1 genes and islet cell autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GADA) and insulinoma antigen-2 (IA-2A) in relation to diabetes post partum in mothers with diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: During 2003-2004, women undergoing a 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during pregnancy were invited to participate in the Mamma Study. Cut-off leve
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is genetically characterized by the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, formed through a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 and giving rise to the constitutively active tyrosine kinase P210 BCR/ABL1. Therapeutic strategies aiming for a cure of CML will require full eradication of Ph chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) CML stem cells. Here we used gene-expression
Genome-wide-association studies have identified numerous BMI-associated variants, but it is unclear how these relate to weight gain in adults at different ages.
The epidemiological evidence for an obesity-cancer association is solid, whereas the association between obesity-associated lipoprotein levels and cancer is less evident. We investigated circulating levels of Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and association to risk of overall cancer and common cancer forms. The Malmö Diet and C
Treatment with warfarin in combination with clopidogrel has been shown to reduce the incidence of major bleeding as compared to triple antithrombotic therapy (TT; warfarin, clopidogrel and aspirin). However, there are uncertainties regarding the risk for thrombosis since poor-responsiveness to clopidogrel is common. Ticagrelor is a more potent platelet inhibitor, but data supporting concurrent use
We previously reported the occurrence of Lewy bodies in grafted human fetal mesencephalic neurons in two patients with Parkinson's disease. Here, we have used immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy to characterize the development of Lewy bodies in one of these cases. This patient was operated in putamen on both sides at 12 or 16 years before death, respectively. We demonstrate that 2% of the
Background/Aims: We examined the potential impact of vascular risk factors including copeptin - a robust surrogate marker of arginine vasopressin associated with the metabolic syndrome and diabetes risk - on future cognitive abilities in a population-based cohort. Methods: Participants (n = 933) were investigated using baseline data, including copeptin levels, and data collected 16 years later usi
To examine if overall diet quality is associated with cellular and soluble biomarkers of systemic inflammation in middle-aged individuals.
OBJECTIVES: To examine whether the decrease in IMT progression rate in the carotid bulb induced by metoprolol CR/XL treatment (25mg once daily) observed in the β-blocker Cholesterol-lowering Asymptomatic Plaque Study (BCAPS) was accompanied by an effect on carotid plaque echogenicity. METHODS: Gray scale median (GSM) in carotid plaques, used as a score of echogenicity, was measured at baseline and
To identify stop-codon variants associated with blood pressure (BP).
OBJECTIVE: Serum and glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) expression is increased by aldosterone and is a key regulator of the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (ENaC) in the distal nephron. We have previously shown that two SNPs in SGK1 (rs1057293 and rs1743966) are associated with blood pressure variation and blood pressure progression in the general population. Therefore, we tested the ass
