Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Kroppen har många olika försvarsmekanismer för att skydda sig mot angrepp av olika slag. Bland försvarsmekanismerna i immunförsvaret finns förmågan att bilda antikroppar. Antikroppar, eller immunglobulin, är lösliga protein och består av fyra polypeptidkedjor som hålls samman av svavelbindningar. Dessa kedjor har en variabel ände som ger upphov till molekylensAntibodies are important protein structures in the immunological defence. Occasionally the regulation of the production of these antibodies fails and antibodies directed against self structures are produced in large scale. Antibody production can also complicate or make transfusions and transplantations impossible. Purified protein A from Staphylococcus aureus immobilised to beaded agarose can ads

The aim of this thesis is to explore the evolution of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) based on solid empirical material for the Swedish economy. NTBFs are argued to be one important type of entrepreneurial firms that contribute to technology change, knowledge spillovers, and economic growth. However, our knowledge concerning how NTBFs exert their technological and economic influences is far fro

Subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) are usually overweight and exhibit insulin resistance with a defective compensation of insulin secretion. In this study, we sought to establish the interrelation between insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity after oral glucose in non-obese subjects with IGT and we also examined this interrelation in relation to the 2 main incretins, glucagon-like

The combination of coagulation/flocculation and discfiltration with ozonation to reduce nutrients and organic micro-pollutants in secondary effluent was studied in pilot scale at Lundåkraverket wastewater treatment plant in Landskrona, Sweden. With a chemical dose of 4 gAl3þ/m3 and 1.5 g/m3 cationic polymer as active material effluent water quality with regards to total phosphorous (Tot-P), suspenThe combination of coagulation/flocculation and discfiltration with ozonation to reduce nutrients and organic micro-pollutants in secondary effluent was studied in pilot scale at Lundåkraverket wastewater treatment plant in Landskrona, Sweden.

Background: In a previous study, we explored real-world programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) testing and treatment patterns for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the era of immune-oncology. The present study aimed to investigate overall survival (OS) with PD-(L)1 inhibitors with longer-term follow-up in the Swedish setting. Materials and methods: Data were extracted from th

BACKGROUND: Patients diagnosed with Crohn disease (CD) are known to be at an increased risk of bowel cancers and lymphoma. CD is an autoimmune disease and we hypothesize that the patients are predisposed to a wider spectrum of cancers.PATIENTS AND METHODS: A CD research database was constructed by identifying hospitalized CD patients from the Hospital Discharge Register and cancer patients from th

Background: Falciparum malaria is an important risk factor for African Burkitt lymphoma (BL), but few studies have evaluated malaria patterns in healthy BL-age children in populations where both diseases are endemic. To obtain accurate current data, patterns of asymptomatic malaria were investigated in northern Uganda, where BL is endemic. Methods: Between 2011 and 2015, 1150 apparently healthy ch

Background: Evidence-based guidelines for assessing pituitary function in children remain limited. Improved understanding of paediatric pituitary diseases may improve clinical management and patient counselling.Aim: This thesis aimed to evaluate diagnostic aspects of paediatric pituitary diseases, focusing on radiological follow-up of pituitary microadenomas and cysts, pituitary refractoriness to

Objectives To study the prevalence of and interplay between common neuropsychiatric sequelae 3-4 years after onset of first-ever stroke - specifically post-stroke fatigue (PSF), post-stroke depression (PSD) and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that total metabolic tumor volume (tMTV) measured before treatment in lymphoma patients undergoing [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scans can predict prognosis. However, there is a lack of fast, reliable, and easy-to-perform multilesional segmentation tools with an urgent need to improve tMTV segmentation workflow in clinical practice. Here, we develop

By Peter Arnfalk, IIIEE, Lund University. Telework has been around for several decades, but with the current Corona virus epidemic, a large number of people who are unexperienced with working remotely have now started to do so. With today’s tech tools and digital maturity, working outside the office is really not a big deal. Still, I’d like to share with you a few success factors that I’ve learned

Being Interdisciplinary 12 Being i nterdisciplinary When I started to write this book, I called it “ The Beginners Guide to Interdisciplinary Studies ” . 1 But calling it a guidebook suggests that it is possible to guide the newcomer through the territory. The crux of interdis- ciplinary work is that you enter an unknown territory that requires a protean sensibility. Rather than a compilation of g

Introduction Attrition from antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes is a critical challenge among children receiving care in resource-limited settings. Our objective was to determine the rates and predictors of attrition among children on ART in Ethiopia. Methods Between December 2014 and September 2016, we conducted a prospective cohort study in eight health facilities in Ethiopia. Eligibility cr

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a system for delivery of inhaled nitric oxide.DESIGN: Prospective, laboratory study.SETTING: Engineering laboratory.SUBJECTS: A standard ventilator (Servo Ventilator 300), supplemented with extra gas modules for nitric oxide delivery.INTERVENTIONS: Two ventilator-integrated gas modules, delivering < or = 10 parts per million (ppm) or < or = 100 ppm of nitric oxide, were used

Small ligaments connecting the crack surfaces just behind the moving crack front are assumed to exist during fast cleavage crack growth. The production and conduction of heat during the process of tearing these ligaments are studied. The straining is computed by assuming an elastic visco-plastic material model. The produced heat during plastic work is calculated. Heat conduction is considered.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, affecting and disablingapproximately 300 million people worldwide. The inflammatory profile ischaracterized by infiltration of eosinophils, which are a rich source of factors thatare implicated in tissue remodeling. The chronic inflammatory response and theremodeled phenotype create a hospitable environment for secondary bacterialinfections.

This thesis investigates the influence of transnational municipal climate networks (TMCNs) on urban climate governance in Germany. The reality of climate change means that cities all over the world are faced with two challenges. First, they need to go through decarbonisation transitions to mitigate climate change. Second, they need to adapt to the conditions of a changing climate. The growth of ci
