BACKGROUND: The complement inhibitor CSMD1 acts as a tumor suppressor in various types of solid cancers. Despite its high level of expression in the brain, its function in gliomas, malignant brain tumors originating from glial cells, has not been investigated.METHODS: Three cohorts of glioma patients comprising 1500 patients were analyzed in our study along with their clinical data. H4, U-118 and
OBJECTIVE: The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are inflammatory disorders with ANCA autoantibodies recognising either proteinase 3 (PR3-AAV) or myeloperoxidase (MPO-AAV). PR3-AAV and MPO-AAV have been associated with distinct loci in the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) region. While the association between MPO-AAV and HLA has been well characterised in East A
Health inequalities are a persistent and growing issue in different countries worldwide. Sweden, despite being one of the scandinavian countries with internationally recognized welfare system is no exception. The issue of health disparities and its increase among some groups, including those who are categorised as migrant have been acknowledged. Emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, reveale
Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is part of the calcitonin peptide family, which includes calcitonin (CT), amylin (AMY), and adrenomedullin (ADM). CGRP and its receptor are highly present in the trigeminovascular system (TVS). Recent research suggests that other members of the calcitonin family could be feasible therapeutic targets in the treatment of migraine. The present study
Introduction: The 2024 ISTH clinical practice guideline (CPG) for treatment of congenital haemophilia, the NBDF-McMaster Guideline on Care Models for Haemophilia Management, and ASH ISTH NBDF WFH guidelines on the diagnosis and management of VWD all utilised GRADE methodology. Aim: Discuss missed opportunities and the methodological approach of the ISTH Guideline in contrast to how GRADE was previ
Autofluorescence poses an impediment to fluorescence microscopy of biological samples. In the Gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacteria of the genus Streptomyces, sources of autofluorescence have not been examined systematically to date. Here, we show that the model organism for the genus, Streptomyces venezuelae, shows autofluorescence in two of the commonly used fluorescence channels for visualizing
The paper looks at the development philosophy behind the establishment of the Lukzum Samdrupling, the first Tibetan refugee settlement in India and how it was received by the refugees. After reviewing Chinese development concepts in the 1950’s and 1960’s with an emphasis on Tibet, the paper explores the central concepts of Indian development philosophy at that time, such as cooperative, scientific
To combat climate change, different types of initiatives and policy instruments are required to support the development and dissemination of new energy efficient technologies. What type of policy instruments shall be used is, however, not pre-determined. To advance knowledge in how to design successful policy instruments, evaluations and deep-analyses are needed; this to better understand the role
This paper investigates the use of corpora, with a specific focus on concordances,in teaching and learning as a foreign language in classrooms in Vietnam. Students who used concordances obtained more correct answers than those who did not, and they could develop activeness in exploring words structures and grammatical rules.
Shallow lakes such as Lake Krankesjön are characterized by their extended littoral zones, usually covered by submersed and emergent vegetation. In paper 1, I investigated the relationship between turbidity and macrophyte growth (Chara spp.) during spring and summer in Lake Krankesjön and found that the colonization of the lake bed by macrophytes was dependent on turbidity on a non-linear way. Also
