Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is a progressive metabolic disorder arising from genetic and environmental factors that impair beta cell function and insulin action in peripheral tissues. We identified reduced diacylglycerol kinase δ (DGKδ) expression and DGK activity in skeletal muscle from type 2 diabetic patients. In diabetic animals, reduced DGKδ protein and DGK kinase activit

This study aimed to compare different image-based methods for bone marrow dosimetry and study the dose–response relationship during treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE in patients with and without skeletal metastases. Methods: This study included 46 patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors treated with at least 2 fractions of 177Lu-DOTATATE at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. High- and low-uptake co

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) results in more people with severe mental illness obtaining employment in comparison to traditional vocational rehabilitation approaches. The implementation challenges of IPS vary across countries and contexts. However, the implications for IPS delivery and thus the IPS principles have not been studied in Sweden, which this embedded case study aims to investi

Psykisk ohälsa utgör idag det främsta skälet till sjukskrivning i Sverige och involverar i hög grad arbetsplatser. I denna litteraturöversikt har vi mellan 2000−2016 undersökt dels svenska primär- och sekundärpreventiva insatser som inkluderar arbetsplatsen för att förhindra eller minska sjukskrivning på grund av vanlig psykisk sjukdom dels kartlagt hur svensk lagstiftning och policy inom rehabili

Background: Research is needed on how to optimize the return-to-work process for persons with mental health problems.Objective: To develop a model that explains how employer and rehabilitation professional mental health literacy may influence strategies used in the return-to-work of persons with mental health problems.Methods: A grounded theory study design was used to collect and analyse intervie

In March 2018, it became publically known that Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO's launch on 12 January 2018 deployed four space objects into orbit that were not authorised by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States of America (US). Prior to the launch with ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, US-based tech start-up Swarm Technologies had received a dismissal by th

Statement of Purpose: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths and efficient therapies remain elusive. One emerging approach is to use nanoparticles (NPs) that are designed to specifically target malignant cells (1). Such targeting increases on-site drug doses and reduces systemic side effects. A common target in lung tumors is epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Here, we ex

The chiral tetradentate N4-donor ligand, 1-methyl-2-({(S)-2-[(S)-1-(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl methyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]pyrrolidin-1-yl}methyl) benzimidazole (S,S- PDBz L), based on a chiral dipyrrolidine backbone, has been synthesized and its corresponding Fe(ii) complex has been prepared and characterized. The X-ray structure of the complex reveals that the Fe(ii) ion is in a distorted octahedral

Evacuation times can be shortened in fire scenarios if people choose appropriate routes. Way-finding systems can be used to aid this process, thus their effectiveness needs to be evaluated. In the present study, the way-finding evacuation systems of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) are investigated as its evacuation design presents several

BACKGROUND: Teachers are at high risk of stress-related disorders. This longitudinal study aimed to (a) identify which occupational, sociodemographic and life-style factors and self-efficacy at baseline that were of importance for burnout, (b) explore associations between changes in the studied factors versus changes in burnout, and (c) by interviews increase the understanding of perceived job dem

People with psychiatric disabilities need to be able to express their views about their support, for example, the provision of meaningful activity in supported accommodation. Brief scales may be necessary to avoid strain and discomfort for this group. The aim was to develop a brief version of Perceived Meaning in Activity—Housing (PMA-H) and investigate its factor structure, internal consistency,

This article is situated in the context of an intensified discourse within which academic developers are being asked to provide evidence of impact, and argues that theoretical models currently used are imprecise and fail to capture the variation in outcomes from professional development activities. Through reference to previous research on how teachers' thinking can be described in relation to var

Introduction: Radiographers have performed research since 1988 in Sweden. The amount of doctoral and licentiate dissertations written by registered diagnostic radiographers has increased considerably since 2000. How this new field of research was established and developed has facilitated understand of the boundaries that strengthen the professional evidence base. The aim of this dissertation revie

The concept of coordination sphere (CS) is central to the rational development of hierarchical molecular assemblies in modern chemistry. Manipulating the organization around transition metal ions with covalent and supramolecular interactions is a general strategy that underlies most synthetic protocols. Achieving similar control for photoexcited molecular complexes is necessary to advance the des

Hydroacoustic and optical remote sensing have been commonly used to map shallow nearshore benthic features. However, the number, type, scale, and accuracy of the mapping products that can be obtained from the two sensors differ; as such, there can be limited agreement between their mapping products. These differences can be further accentuated if the hydroacoustic data are interpolated to produce
