Head Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is still a commonly obtained diagnostic test for patients with minor head injury despite availability of clinical decision rules to guide imaging use and recommendations to reduce radiation exposure resulting from unnecessary imaging. This prospective multi-center observational study of 251 patients with suspected mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Recension av Barbro Eberan, Brunt arv. Skuldfrågan efter Tysklands återförening 1990.
Increased levels of cardio-enriched microRNAs (miRNAs) have been described in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). We wanted to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic potential of cardio-enriched miRNAs in patients presenting with a suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Popular Abstract in Arabic Vårt immunförsvar är fantastiskt. Dagligen exponeras vi för bakterier, virus och andra sjukdomsalstrande mikroorganismer och i allra flesta fall besegrar vårt immunförsvar detta hot utan problem. I sällsynta fall uppstår det dock en situation då bakterier lyckas undvika vårt initiala immunförsvar, sprids i kroppen och orsakar blodförgiftning (sepsis). Vid detta tillståndSepsis is a heterogeneous, dynamic, and complex syndrome caused by interaction between the host and the invading pathogen. It is associated with an overwhelmingly dysregulated immune response, and also immunosuppression. In spite of our improved understanding of the underlying molecular pathology, sepsis still remains a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This is reflected in the un
The EULAR Sjögren's syndrome (SS) disease activity index (ESSDAI) is a systemic disease activity index that was designed to measure disease activity in patients with primary SS. With the growing use of the ESSDAI, some domains appear to be more challenging to rate than others. The ESSDAI is now in use as a gold standard to measure disease activity in clinical studies, and as an outcome measure, ev
From the mid-1990s onwards, the humanities and social sciences have devoted a great deal of attention to the operations of the affects, and there has been much talk about "the affective turn". This article begins by looking at the impact of that phenomenon on scholarly and critical work on T. S. Eliot, a milder impact than one might have expected. It then goes on to investigate the interplay of em
The aim of this present study was to examine duration of breastfeeding in relation to the risk of different subgroups of breast cancer. A prospective cohort, The Malmö Diet and Cancer study, including 14092 parous women, were followed during a mean of 10.2 years and a total of 424 incident breast cancers were diagnosed.
The aim of this thesis was to test a tool for assessing insomnia symptoms in elderly persons and to investigate late-life insomnia in terms of associated factors and evidence of non-pharmacological interventions in healthcare settings. Data were collected by means of a systematic literature search (Study I), questionnaires (Studies II-III), interviews and observations (Study IV). The results from
Taxonomic treatments recognize three varieties of Cercis canadensis: with variety canadensis, widespread throughout the eastern United States, and varieties texensis and mexicana, found east and west of the Pecos River in Texas, respectively. The distribution of Cercis continues southward into northeastern Mexico, but complex variation in leaf shape has confounded straightforward application of va
This article explores the core propositions articulated by several public actors in the so-called Bandera debate, i.e., discussions about the usable past and legacy of the wartime Ukrainian nationalist insurgency and its central symbolic figure, Stepan Bandera. In Western Ukraine, popular historical imagery as well as intellectual polemics about “Ukrainization” of World War II challenged both the
Harbour seals are active at night and during the day and see well in both air and water. Polarised light, which is a well-known visual cue for orientation, navigation and foraging, is richly available in harbour seal habitats, both above and below the water surface. We hypothesised that an ability to detect and use polarised light could be valuable for seals, and thus tested if they are able to se
We and others have recently shown that tumor characteristics are altered throughout tumor progression. These findings emphasize the need for re-examination of tumor characteristics at relapse and have led to recommendations from ESMO and the Swedish Breast Cancer group. Here, we aim to determine whether tumor characteristics and molecular subtypes in breast cancer metastases confer clinically rele
Popular Abstract in Swedish 1997 ökade långtidssjukskrivningarna i Sverige, vilka fortsatte att öka till och med 2002. Vanligtvis förklaras ökningen med orsaker på individnivå eller i arbetsmiljön. Genom att avgränsa avhandlingen till långtidssjukskrivningar bland arbetslösa, hamnar en annan förståelse i fokus, sammanfattad som att välfärdsstater utvecklar dold arbetslöshet bland dem med begränsadIn 1997 the number of long-term absences due to illness began and continued to rise in Sweden. Traditional explanations of why this is so have been centered on either blaming the individual or blaming the work environment. By focusing on long-term illness of the unemployed, this dissertation suggests that there is a growing residual unemployment within advanced welfare states. The main question th
Stimulated by the recent experimental report of optical properties of charged oligofluorenes [S. Fratiloiu et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 210, 59845993 (2006)], we have used time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) to study the electronic structure of neutral and charged ter-fluorene with and without keto-defect. We have characterized the excited states by site- and space-based representations
Abstract Receptor activity-modifying protein 3 (RAMP3) is a single-pass transmembrane protein known to interact with and affect the trafficking of several G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We sought to determine whether RAMP3 interacts with GPR30, also known as G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1. GPR30 is a GPCR that binds estradiol and has important roles in cardiovascular and endocrine phy
