Background - Aortic valvular stenosis (AS) is the most common cause of cardiac valvular replacement surgery. During the last century, the pathogenesis of AS has undergone transitions in developed countries, from rheumatic heart disease to a degenerative calcific pathogenesis. Although a familial component has been described for a subset of cases with a bicuspid valve, data are limited on the overa
Supplemental Instruction is one of the most successful programmes of peer-assisted study in existence. Numerous studies show that SI attendance correlates with student achievement, regardless of the level of knowledge of the student prior to commencing their studies. The present study, from Humanities at Lund University, Sweden, outlines a method for gauging the effect of SI on soft values such as
Kapitlet beskriver en övning lämplig för studenter i kurser om socialt entreprenörskap. Övningen tillämpar tekniker för kommunikation för att erhålla donationer från olika intressenter.
En av utmaningarna för lärare är att känna igen språkfel som en del av språkutvecklingen. Eftersom normen i klassrummet ofta är språklig korrekthet kan det vara svårt att urskilja utvecklingen. Synen på inlärarspråket som ett eget språk snarare än en sämre variant av målspråket samt kunskap om typiska drag i inlärarspråket ökar möjligheterna att se den utveckling som faktiskt sker hos eleverna, vi
Boken presenterar på ett populärt sätt forskningsresultat från arkeologi, geologi och historieforskning. Det geografiska perspektivet omfattar Skåne under förhistorisk tid men därefter Kävlinge socken. Uppgiften om ett slag på Kävlingebro omkring 1020 föranledde en arkeologisk undersökning vilket presenteras. Lantbrukets utveckling utgör en viktig tråd i boken. Rikt illustrerad.
Objective: Sensation is essential for recovery after peripheral nerve injury. However, the relationship between sensory modalities and function of regenerated fibers is uncertain. We have investigated the relationships between touch threshold, tactile gnosis, and mechanoreceptor and sensory fiber function after nerve regeneration. Methods: Twenty-one median or ulnar nerve lesions were repaired by
BACKGROUND: Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive, fatal tumor. Current therapeutic options only marginally improve survival. Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a dominant mediator of immunosuppression, binding to programmed cell death 1 (PD-1). PD-L1 is up-regulated in cancer cells, and the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway plays a critical role in tumor immune evasion, thus providing a target for
Heart failure (HF) is the end-stage of all heart disease and arguably constitutes the greatest unmet therapeutic need in cardiovascular medicine today. Classic epidemiological studies have established clinical risk factors for HF, but the cause remains poorly understood in many cases. Biochemical analyses of small case-control series and animal models have described a plethora of molecular charact
En källa från Ryds klosters årsbok skriver om slaget på Kävlingebro cirka 1020. Invid broläget påträffades en cirkulär anläggning som efter arkeo-/ geologiska undersökningar visade sig vara en kreatursfålla. Artikeln söker anledningen til det eventuella slaget och fållans funktion i närområdet. Ulf jarls härkomst till norra Skåne prövas.
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may be caused by either pressure or volume overload. RV function is conventionally assessed with echocardiography using tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV fractional area change (RVFAC), tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity (S') and RV index of myocardial performance (RIMP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether
ObjectivesThe main objective of this study was to derive cost estimates of five major foodborne illnesses (campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), yersiniosis and shigellosis) in Sweden. These estimates provide a necessary contribution to perform future cost-benefit analyses aimed at reducing the burden of foodborne disease. A secondary aim was to obtain estim
Opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS), often called "dancing eyed syndrome," is a rare neurological condition associated with neuroblastoma in the majority of all childhood cases. Genomic copy number profiles have shown to be of prognostic significance for neuroblastoma patients. The aim of this retrospective multicenter study was to analyze the genomic copy number profiles of tumors from children w
