ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The study was designed to investigate the effect of different measuring methodologies on the estimation of P wave duration. The recording length required to ensure reproducibility in unfiltered, signal-averaged P wave analysis was also investigated. An algorithm for automated classification was designed and its reproducibility of manual P wave morphology classification invest

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate whether preoperative infiltration with ropivacaine in conjunction with breast surgery improves postoperative pain management and attenuates postoperative nausea and vomiting. Method: Prospective, randomised, double-blind study, including 60 healthy women (ASA 1–2) allocated to one of two groups. Thirty patients were given 0.3 ml/kg saline in the o

Background: Evidence points to a link between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and an increased risk of lung cancer. Our objective was to provide a brief report of the lung cancer cases from an SLE cohort, with respect to demographics, histology, and exposures to smoking and immunosuppressive medications. Methods: Data were obtained from a multi-site international cohort study of over 9500 SLE p

BACKGROUND: /st> Previous studies have indicated that autoantibodies may be detected years before the clinical onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Cartilage biomarkers, such as cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), have not been studied previously in samples collected before the diagnosis of RA. METHODS: /st> Between 1991 and 1996, 30 447 subjects were included in the Malmö Diet Cancer Study

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur gick det till när det svenska riket expanderade norrut och införlivade Hälsingland? Denna bok är uppställd som en generalhypotes över denna långt utdragna process, som tar sin utgångspunkt i den samhälleliga kollaps som är skönjbar under 500-talet. De inhemska maktstrukturer som gradvis byggdes upp efteråt kom under medeltidens inledande århundraden att få känna på

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that short-term treatment with adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) has a strong and rapid lipid-lowering effect. In this long-term study of nephrotic patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy, the influence of ACTH on the serum lipoprotein profile and glomerular function as well as the dose-effect relationship was investigated. METHODS: Fourteen patien

HLA-DQ molecules account over 50% genetic risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D), but little is known about associated residues. Through next generation targeted sequencing technology and deep learning of DQ residue sequences, the aim was to uncover critical residues and their motifs associated with T1D. Our analysis uncovered (αa1, α44, α157, α196) and (β9, β30, β57, β70, β135) on the HLA-DQ molecule. The

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the genetic risk landscape of autoimmune disorders and Parkinson's disease overlap. Additionally, anti-inflammatory medications used to treat RA might influence PD risk.OBJECTIVE: To use a population-based approach to determine if there is an association between pre-occurring rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and later-life risk of Parkinson's disease (PD).METHODS

Mobility restrictions are among actions to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and have been pointed as reasons for improving air quality, especially in large cities. However, it is crucial to assess the impact of atmospheric conditions on air quality and air pollutant dispersion in the face of the potential variability of all sources. In this study, the impact of mobility restrictions on

Background: The use of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is complex because impaired renal clearance can cause increased drug levels, and risk of intolerance or adverse events. Due to the propensity for CKD to occur alongside atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AF/AFL), it is essential that AAD safety and efficacy are assessed for patients with CKD. Hypothes

Lung cancer is one of the most aggressive diseases in the whole world, claiming millions of people each year. Nobody has yet found a successful cure for it and, therefore, there is an urgent need for more research to discover how patients could be saved. Lung cancer is so hard to diagnose since it grows quietly and it’s often detected when it has spread to other organs, meaning that it has invaded

Den globala klimatförändingen är vår tids största utmaning och det största miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska hotet världen över. Genom att använda husdjursgödsel för produktion av förnyelsebar energi i form av biogas kan utsläppen av västhusgaser minskas, samtidigt som lokala resurser utnyttjas på ett hållbart sätt. Norge har som nationellt mål att 30 % av husdjurgödseln ska användas till produClimate change because of increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is widely recognized and is our times biggest environmental, social and economical threat worldwide. Converting livestock manure into a renewable energy resource such as biogas contributes to lowering greenhouse gases emissions and takes advantage of local energy resources in a sustainable way. Norway has a national goal to pro

Samhället genomgår ett omfattande paradigmskifte för att bekämpa de utmaningar som är förenade med de antropogena utsläppen av koldioxid (CO2) och andra växthusgaser som bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen. Fordonsindustrin som står för en femtedel av de globala utsläppen, varav tre fjärdedelar är kopplade till vägfordon, ser en omvälvande ökning i efterfrågan på icke-fossildrivna fordon så som The societal integration of electric vehicles (EVs) imposes several challenges on the electrical grid, where congestion and overcurrents through related components are of focus for this thesis. Active network management through control systems is one flexible solution to this problem, and in the project Active Network Management for All (ANM4L), a congestion management algorithm utilizing PI contr

Proteiner är kroppens byggstenar och behövs bland annat för att reparera celler, bygga upp vävnader och muskler samt bilda enzymer. Proteinbrist kan leda till försämrad hälsa och därför finns rekommendationer att andelen protein i den dagliga kosten bör utgöra 18 E%. Nedbrytning och upptag av proteiner sker från magsäcken till tunntarmen där bland annat olika enzymer är delaktiga i spjälkningen. TProteins are the building blocks of the body and are needed to repair cells, build tissues and muscles and form enzymes. Protein deficiency can lead to deteriorating health and therefore there are recommendations that the proportion of protein in the daily diet should be 18 E%. Digestion and uptake of proteins takes place from the stomach to the small intestine, where various enzymes are involved.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prostate cancer (PC) and dementia may commonly co-occur; yet, prior evidence for bidirectional associations is inconsistent. This study aims to determine the associations between PC and dementia in large population-based studies, which may further inform clinical care. METHODS: To assess the dementia risk in men with PC, a national cohort study was conducted in 178 746 me

To date, the use of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in ecological-model species for validating genotype to phenotype connections has focused primarily on visual phenotypes using G0 mutations, coupled with analyses of resulting mosaic phenotypes. However, studies of physiological phenotypes necessitate germline mutations in order to assess non-visible phenotypic effects, and thus, dedicated efforts to devel

Background: Benchmarking on an international level might lead to improved outcomes at a national level. The aim of this study was to compare treatment and surgical outcome data from the Swedish National Register for Oesophageal and Gastric Cancer (NREV) and the Dutch Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Audit (DUCA).Methods: All patients with primary oesophageal or gastric cancer who underwent a resectio

The high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles (NPs) makes them an interesting source for scientific research. How interfacial energies interplay between such a small structure and a solid bulk surface, are important because of the versatile applications NPs regard. In this thesis, a convenient and reliable method for interfacial energy determination was investigated. The interfacial energies
