Giant Cell Tumour of Bone (GCTB) is a rare bone tumour. Locally aggressive and recurrent, it might evolve into pulmonary metastases. Our present work is aimed at investigating the involvement of the epidermal growth factor receptor (ErbB) family and its downstream effectors in the development and recurrence of GCTB. For this purpose, we used a cohort of 32 GCTB patients and we evaluated the clinic
Introduction. People with Parkinson's disease (PD) have lower life satisfaction (LS) than healthy peers. No study has yet identified predictors of LS in people with PD. Such information would be valuable for health care and future interventions that aim to maintain or increase LS. Aim. To examine how LS evolved in people with PD over a 3-year period, as well as to identify predictive factors of LS
Objectives: This study evaluated if selecting the left ventricular (LV) target segment by echocardiography-derived late mechanical activation, with access to multimodality imaging for scar and venous anatomy, could help to increase responder rates to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Background: LV lead placement is important for clinical outcome, but the optimal strategy for LV lead placem
AIM: To analyse the prevalence of pain, pain sites, pain severity, and pain interfering with work or daily activities and sleep in adults with cerebral palsy (CP).METHOD: This was a cross-sectional study based on data from 1591 adults (16-76y, median age 25y; 879 males, 712 females; Communication Function Classification System [CFCS] levels I-V) in the Swedish Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Program. Pai
Objective: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of urinary bladder malignancies diagnosed on transvaginal ultrasound in women presenting with suspected gynecological problems. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective study of women with a histological diagnosis of urinary bladder malignancy that was suspected on transvaginal ultrasound examination. The cases were collected
ABSTRACTThis study aims to explore the scope of ‘knowledge-carrying’ objects in learning situations. The study is based on a qualitative content analysis of a design project conducted in a science centre for children aged 7-10 years, learning about polymers and circularity. The design project is based on research through design and has been an iterative process where design experiments and observaThis study aims to explore the scope of ‘knowledge-carrying’ objects in learning situations.

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is a mammalian virus that has been altered to be used as a gene delivery vehicle. Several changes to the viral genome have made them replication deficient so that this aspect of the viral infection cycle is under full control of the experimenter, while maintaining gene expression machinery. Over the last decades, rAAVs have become the gold standard for stu
To determine whether alcohol use disorder (AUD) is transmitted within families as predicted by contagion, we examined parent-offspring, siblings, and cousin pairs ascertained from Swedish registries with a primary case with AUD. Our outcome variable was AUD registration in at-risk secondary cases. In offspring, risks for AUD registration in the 3 years after a parental index registration residing
Recently a slight tension between data and predictions has been reported in tt¯ W production by both the CMS and ATLAS collaborations. We revisit the theoretical predictions for this process, focussing on the following two effects. We disentangle various effects that lead to asymmetries among the leptonic decay products of the (anti-)top quarks and W bosons, for which we find that the spin correla
Maturation of lymphoid cells is controlled by the action of stage and lineage-restricted transcription factors working in concert with the general transcription and chromatin remodeling machinery to regulate gene expression. To better understand this functional interplay, we used Biotin Identification in human embryonic kidney cells to identify proximity interaction partners for GATA3, TCF7 (TCF1)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate agreement between instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) for the functional assessment of nonculprit coronary stenoses at staged follow-up after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). RESULTS: We measured iFR and FFR at staged follow-up in 112 STEMI patients with 146 nonculprit stenoses. Median interval between STEMI and follow-up
En bön som kallas Heliga Birgittas har blivit populär bland pilgrimer: "Herre, visa mig din väg och gör mig villig att vandra den". Den är inspirerad av Birgittas uppenbarelser, men är inte ett ordagrant citat. Den är hämtad ur en längre bön av kyrkoherden Sam Stadener, ihopredigerad av Birgittacitat som Emilia Fogelklou tillhandahållit. Denna bön publicerades i Den svenska psalmbokens bönbok 1921
In Ethiopia, full vaccination coverage among children aged 12–23 months has improved in recent decades. This study aimed to investigate drivers of the improvement in the vaccination coverage. The Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition technique was applied to identify the drivers using data from Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey conducted in 2000 and 2016. The vaccination coverage rose from 14.3% in 2
The Swedish response to the COVID-19 pandemic included age-based recommendations of voluntary quarantine specifically for those 70 years of age or older. This paper investigates the experiences of a sudden change of policy in the form of an age restriction that trumped the contemporary active aging ideal. A web-based qualitative survey was conducted in April 2020. Through manual coding of a total
Objective: To develop a preoperative risk model, using endometrial biopsy results and clinical and ultrasound variables, to predict the individual risk of lymph-node metastases in women with endometrial cancer. Methods: A mixed-effects logistic regression model for prediction of lymph-node metastases was developed in 1501 prospectively included women with endometrial cancer undergoing transvaginal
