OBJECTIVES: Statins may decrease the risk of primary venous thromboembolism (VTE), that is, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) but the effect of statins in preventing recurrent VTE is less clear. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the association between statin therapy and risk of recurrent VTE.DESIGN: A prospective cohort study.SETTING: All hospitals in Denmark

CONTEXT: Pharmacodynamic studies have shown that persistently high platelet reactivity is common in patients with diabetes in spite of clopidogrel treatment. Clinical trials have not convincingly demonstrated that clopidogrel benefits patients with diabetes as much patients without diabetes.OBJECTIVES: To estimate the clinical effectiveness associated with clopidogrel treatment after myocardial in

The development of LED light has been rapid in the last decade and it has become the most attractive lighting solution for many buyers. The reasons have to do with the high energy efficiency of these lamps as compared to the traditional incandescent lamps. As society is trying to cope with climate change threats and all the connected issues related to nature and life of people, all opportunities t

LED-ljusen har utvecklats i snabb takt under de senaste tio åren och de är idag de ljus som är mest attraktiva för många köpare.

It is easy to get carried away with the rhetoric of solidarity. Rethinking solidarity aims to problematize the way that solidarity has been conceptualized and applied as a governing principle of EU asylum law and policy, in particular as a response to the 2015–2016 ‘refugee crisis’. Navigating through a family of ideas – from Aristotle’s philia, Christian agape, and Roman law to French solidarism,

Short-lived α-decaying nuclei "northeast" of 208Pb in the chart of nuclides were studied using the reaction 48Ca+243Am with the decay station TASISpec at TASCA, GSI Darmstadt. Decay energies and times from pile-up events were extracted with a tailor-made pulse-shape analysis routine and specific α-decay chains were identified in a correlation analysis. Decay chains starting with the even-even 220R

Ska elevers olika modersmål samt skolspråket svenska användas på engelsklektioner? Detta är den övergripande frågeställningen i forskningsprojektet Flerspråkiga praktiker – en resurs i engelskundervisningen? som är finansierat av Vetenskapsrådet. I föreläsningen presenteras forskning om undervisning och lärande i engelska som ligger till grund för projektet samt projektets första resultat. Dessa b

The pitch.
