The neurocognitive development of children is shaped by growth patterns during fetal and early postnatal life, as well as conditions during childhood and adolescence. Adverse factors might harm this development, for example lack of nutrients or under-stimulation of cognitive function. In several contemporary observational studies based on follow-up of cohorts from childhood into adulthood, positiv

OBJECTIVE: We assessed the relationship between pulse pressure and intermediate cardiovascular phenotypes in a middle-aged cohort with high prevalence of hypertension. BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that central pulse pressure (cPP) is a better predictor of cardiovascular outcome than peripheral pulse pressure (pPP), particularly in the elderly. Yet, it is unclear if cPP provides additional pro

This paper aims to review the development of wastewater treatment operation and control over the last two decades. Due to the authors' background and experiences there is a special emphasis on the Scandinavian perspective. Since the developments in these countries have been in the forefront in the wastewater treatment area we believe that it may give a reasonable view of the progress also in other

A novel application of cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) as sensing element for a Bioelectronic Tongue (BioET) system has been tested. In this work CDHs from various fungi, which exhibit different substrate specificities, were used to discriminate between lactose and glucose in presence of the interfering matrix compound Ca(2+) in various mixtures. This work exploits the advantage of an electronic to

Early vascular ageing is common in patients with hypertension and increased burden of cardiovascular risk factors, often influenced by chronic inflammation. One aspect of this vascular ageing is arterial stiffening, as measured by increased pulse wave velocity or augmentation index and central pressure. Several studies have indicated that this process starts early in life and that arterial functio

Objective: To compare the accuracy of fetal weight estimation in large fetuses using four ultrasound formulas. Design: Prospective comparative study. Setting: University Hospital, Lund, Sweden. Population: Large-for-gestational age fetuses (n = 114) at a routine ultrasound examination in the third trimester. Methods: Persson & Weldner two-dimensional formula was compared with Hart et a
