An HbA1c threshold of ≥42 mmol/mol has been proposed to diagnose prediabetes. The sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of the proposed threshold for detection of individuals with prediabetes was examined in a study of 573 randomly selected individuals from Vara and Skövde. In addition, the utility of the FINDRISC questionnaire and of a fasting glucose test in combination with thr

AR-C117977, a monocarboxylate transporter inhibitor, reduces immune responses both in vitro and in vivo, maintains long-term graft survival, and induces operational tolerance. To evaluate the immunosuppressive limitations of AR-C117977, this study was performed in nonvascularized transplant models noted for their refractive response to standard immunosuppressive agents. Rat skin was transplanted f

Interaction with robot systems for specification of manufacturing tasks and motions needs to be simple, to enable wide-spread use of robots in SMEs. In the best case, existing practices from manual work could be used, to smoothly let current employees start using robot technology as a natural part of their work. Our aim is to simplify the robot programming task by allowing the user to simply make

En ansökan om betalningsföreläggande avvisas eller avskrivs för att gäldenären inte kan delges. Borgenären ansöker om stämning avseende samma sak. En omtvistad fråga — som rör förenklade tvistemål och tolkningen av 18 kap. 8 a § sjätte stycket rättegångsbalken — är om borgenären i tingsrättsförfarandet kan få ersättning för kostnaden hos Kronofogdemyndigheten. I denna artikel argumenteras för att

A collection of 18 articles on new perspectives of the historical archaeology from Lund.

Guidance of eye-movements in image viewing is believed to be controlled by stimulus driven factors as well as viewer dependent higher level factors such as task and memory. It is currently debated to what proportions these factors contribute to gaze guidance, and also how they vary over time after image onset. Overall, the unanimity regarding these issues is surprisingly low and there are results

A tabletop high-brightness line-emitting laser-plasma soft xray source utilizing single microscopic droplets as target is shown to produce several orders of magnitude less debris than conventional-target sources. Quantitative measurements of debris deposition rates and x-ray flux, at different directions around the droplet plasma are presented. With ethanol droplets and a. 10 Hz. 70 mJ/pulse laser

Excited states of nuclei in the vicinity of Sn-100 have been studied using: the EUROBALL detector array. Gamma-ray lines from Sn-103 have been identified for the first time, and a level scheme of low-lying excited states of Sn-103 has been established. New constraints on energies of single particle orbitals with respect to the Sn-100 core are obtained.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe elderly patients' knowledge about and attitudes towards their medicines in Swedish primary care. METHODS: Thirty-four patients aged 65 years and above with multiple illnesses were included. Medication knowledge was assessed with a questionnaire measuring knowledge about indication and possible adverse effects for each medicine. Attitudes were investig

On the basis of a patient with fulminant meningococcaemia and severe disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) syndrome, the diagnostic potential of a clot impedance test - Sonoclot coagulation analysis - was used to evaluate plasma exchange. A 17-yr-old girl was treated for a fulminant infection with Neisseria meningitidis in our intensive care unit. She developed severe DIC. Whereas platelet
