Background: Knowledge regarding the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children with celiac disease remains limited and inconclusive. We investigated the HRQoL of three groups of 12-year-olds with: i) undetected celiac disease ii) clinically diagnosed celiac disease, and iii) without celiac disease. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional multicenter screening study invited 18 325 children,
The main goal of this thesis is to initiate a set of experiments on high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in hollow core waveguides and to verify a higher conversion efficiency of HHG in waveguides compared to classical HHG schemes. High harmonics are in this context electromagnetic waves generated by focusing laser light into a dilute noble gas. The frequency of the thereby generated waves is q t
Background and Objectives: Fetal RHD genotyping of cell-free fetal DNA from RhD-negative pregnant women can be used to guide targeted antenatal and postnatal anti-D prophylaxis for the prevention of RhD immunization. To assure the quality of clinical testing, we conducted an external quality assessment workshop with the participation of 28 laboratories. Materials and Methods: Aliquots of pooled ma
Tekniken för millimetervågor har fått stor uppmärksamhet inom 5G-kommunikation tack vare att ett stort spektrum finns tillgängligt i frekvensområdet för millimetervågor. Men mm-våglänkarna lider av allvarlig bana-förlust och atmosfärisk absorption. Strålformning,, att skapa riktade strålar som kan riktas åt olika håll med hjälp av ett stort antal antenner, är en lovande lösning till dessa utmaningMillimeter wave (mmWave band) technology has gained a lot of attention in 5G communications, due to large amounts of spectrum being available in the mmWave frequency range. However, mmWave links suffer from severe free-space loss and atmospheric absorption. Beamforming, which generates directed beams with strong gain using multiple antennas, is one promising solution towards these challenges. In t
What kind of diseases are studied?We study the most common common diseases that occur in middle-aged and elderly people such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, cancer, dementia, depression, lung disease, diabetes, obesity, joint and skeletal pain. We also study disabilities and quality of life, something that often changes as you get older.Who has been selected to participate in EpiHealth?Th

Genome-wide analysis of the DNA methylation landscapes in human tissues The prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity is rapidly increasing worldwide. Both pancreatic islets and adipose tissue play an important role in metabolic processes in humans, and dysfunction in these tissues may contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Epigenetics is thought to be one of the processes

Deadlines need to be met, things need to be finished up, you need to plan for next semester maybe and maybe you are not much into the mood (or maybe you are) and then there are all expectations in between. Hopefully you

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ehrlichia hos människor och djur Fästingburna infektioner uppmärksammas alltmer både hos människor och djur. Fästingar har visat sig kunna överföra flera olika infektiösa agens som till exempel borrelia- och ehrlichiabakterier, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)-virus och babesia-parasiter. De i Skandinavien förekommande ehrlichia-bakterierna Ehrlichia phagocytophila, orsakEhrlichia phagocytophila is a tick-borne pathogen of domestic animals, which has recently been acknowledged also as a human pathogen. It is a strictly intracellular bacterium, infecting granulocytes of the host, sometimes resulting in clinical disease - granulocytic ehrlichiosis - with manifestations ranging from mild flu-like conditions to severe infections with multi-organ failure and death. Thi
Objectives: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of adnexal torsion. Methods: This was a retrospective study. From the operative records of the eight participating gynecological ultrasound centers, we identified patients with a surgically confirmed diagnosis of adnexal torsion, defined as surgical evidence of ovarian pedicle, paraovarian cyst and/or Fallopian tube twisted on its
Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive malignacy arising from the biliary tree. Anatomical subtypes ofcholangiocarcinoma differs in tumor biology and clinical management. Distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA)originates from the common bile duct. Radical resection is the only curative treatment, for dCCA it entails apancreatoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure). Other periampullary cancers treated with pancrea
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) arises when leukemia-initiating cells, defined by a primary genetic lesion, acquire subsequent molecular changes whose cumulative effects bypass tumor suppression. The changes that underlie AML pathogenesis not only provide insights into the biology of transformation but also reveal novel therapeutic opportunities. However, backtracking these events in transformed huma
Microbes are vital in human health. It is helpful to promote diagnostic and treatment of human disease and drug development by identifying microbe-disease associations. However, knowledge in this area still needs to be further improved. In this paper, a new computational model using matrix completion to predict human microbe-disease associations (mHMDA, Fig. 1) is developed. First, we extract the
Decidualization is essential for successful pregnancy in rodents and primates. Although L-Tryptophan and its metabolites are essential for mammalian pregnancy, the underlying mechanism is poorly defined. We explored effects of tryptophan and kynurenine on human in vitro decidualization in human endometrial stromal cell line and primary endometrial stromal cells. Tryptophan significantly stimulates
Exercising your OA-affected joints is really important Agneta had long struggled with pain in her right knee, but because she felt she could still manage daily life despite the discomfort, it took a while before she sought medical advice. However, delaying seeking care meant postponing the right treatment, which eventually led to an emergency hospital visit. At the hospital, she underwent an X-ra
