Rice paddy agro-ecosystems play an important role in global carbon (C) sequestration. Because of flooding management, paddy soil experience periodical changes in oxygen availability, which may make soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation unique as compared to upland or other wetland ecosystems. However, at present, information about the relevant mechanisms involved in paddy SOC mineralisation is

Objectives: to characterize the clinical presentation of patients with acute thrombo-embolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).Design: prospective study.Materials: twenty-four consecutive patients admitted to Blekinge County Hospital, Karlskrona, Sweden, with acute thrombo-embolic occlusion of the SMA, over a three-year period from April 1999 through March 2002.Methods: clinical da

The present study was carried out to explore the dynamics of the fibrinolytic and coagulation systems during non-occlusive intestinal ischaemia in a porcine model. Nineteen pigs underwent laparotomy. The inferior mesenteric artery and the collateral vessels to the rectum were ligated. The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was isolated at its origin from the aorta, and constriction and flowmeter dev

The first children's book in Kalamang (with Papuan Malay translations) tells two stories of the Kalamang ancestors. Illustrated by school children in Mas village.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and cardiovascular disease are intimately associated, the latter representing the most common cause of death in Sweden. Cardiac complications are held responsible for the majority of perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing repair of AAA. The importance of preoperative thorough cardiac assessment is therefore obvious. The aim of this

Objectives: Open abdomen (OA) treatment is sometimes necessary after surgery for aortic aneurysm (AA), to prevent or treat abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). A multicentre study evaluating vacuum-assisted wound closure (100-150 mmHg) and mesh-mediated fascial traction (VAWCM) was performed. Methods: All patients treated with OA after AA repair (2006-2009) were prospectively registered at four c

Background: New emerging evidence has demonstrated the need for effective interventions to help people living with an acquired brain injury (ABI). Evidence on cost-effectiveness, which can help inform use of limited resources, is scarce in this area and therefore the purpose of this systematic review is to critically appraise and consolidate the current evidence on economic evaluations of ABI reha

Objective: To evaluate mid-term survival in patients undergoing elective fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and standard endovascular aneurysm repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods: Consecutive patients treated from 2007 to 2011 with elective fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (n = 81) and endovascular aneurysm repair (n = 201) were evaluated concerning age, cardiovascular medi

Background/Aims: Inguinal incisions are a common route of access in vascular surgery. Due to anatomical challenges and a diverse bacterial flora in this area, surgical site infections (SSI) represent a common, debilitating and sometimes life-threatening complication. The INVIPS-Trial evaluates the role of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) on closed inguinal incisions in elective vascular surg

Background: The risk of stroke associated with carotid artery restenosis after stenting or endarterectomy is unclear. We aimed to compare the long-term risk of restenosis after these treatments and to investigate if restenosis causes stroke in a secondary analysis of the International Carotid Stenting Study (ICSS). Methods: ICSS is a parallel-group randomised trial at 50 tertiary care centres in E

Glas- och bärnstenspärlor var en del av dräkten som signalerade bärarens sociala och ekonomiska status. I artikeln presenteras pärluppsättningarna från 25 gravar daterade till yngre romersk järnålder period C1 och C2 funna i dagens Skåne. Pärlorna har ett varierat och unikt uttryck vilket stärker hypotesen att de mindre rika gravarna i Skåne, jämfört med på Själland, beror på ett mer stabilt samhäGlass and amber beads are colourful artefacts that have been much less discussed than other accessories such as fibulae. Like these, the beads were part of the dress that signalled the wearers’ social and economic status. In the article, beads from 25 graves from modern-day Scania, dated to the Roman Iron Age periods C1 and C2, are presented. In many ways they show a varied and unique expression,

Milk oligosaccharides are of high interest due to their bioactive properties. This study is the first to characterise milk oligosaccharides from native North European cattle breeds, as represented by 80 milk samples collected from eight native breeds originated from Norway (Norwegian Doela cattle and Norwegian Telemark cattle), Sweden (Swedish Mountain cattle), Denmark (Danish Red anno 1970), Icel

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity and results in rapid remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D), before significant weight loss occurs. The underlying mechanisms for T2D remission are not fully understood. To gain insight into these mechanisms we used RYGB-operated diabetic GK-rats and Wistar control rats. Twelve adult male Wistar- and twelve adult male G

It is known from experimental findings that three-dimensional effects can have a strong influence on magnetic shape memory behavior. Such phenomena are, however, often neglected in MSMA constitutive models, as they only become meaningful under complex loading conditions. The extensions of our original modeling framework, cf. Bartel et al. (2020), to include 3D-effects is threefold: (i) vector-valu
