Background: Breathlessness is a cardinal symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is given to improve survival time in people with COPD and severe chronic hypoxaemia at rest. The efficacy of oxygen therapy for breathlessness and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in people with COPD and mild or no hypoxaemia who do not meet the criteria for LTOT
The production of events with multiple high transverse momentum particles including charged leptons and jets is measured, using 1.04 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector during the first half of 2011 at root s = 7 TeV. No excess beyond Standard Model expectations is observed, and upper limits on the fiducial cross sections for non-Standard Model production of these
Based upon earlier experimental work by our group, we have started a human immuno-gene therapy study. The goal is to study the effects of immunisation with autologous tumour cells expressing gene sequences for human interferon-gamma For more than two decades we have sought for efficient treatment against malignant gliomas. Our most successful treatment in the animal models is immuno-gene therapy w
Genom lagen om anställningsskydd (LAS 1982:80) har arbetsgivaren i Sverige möjligheten att sluta avtal om provanställning. Provanställningen är en säregen anställningsform som enligt förarbetena har som syfte att ge arbetstagaren tid att visa sin arbetsförmåga för arbetsgivaren för att den senare skall kunna avgöra vid anställningens utgång ifall arbetstagaren är lämplig för jobbet. Provanställnin
Problem description: There is a big difference between the Swedish and the Spanish bread culture. In Spain they normally buy their baguette-looking “barra” in the bakery and then break it to eat together with the food. As the bread should be eaten the same day it’s baked, the Spaniards need to visit the bakery every day. Maybe the Swedish ryemeal bread, with a durability of many days, would be app
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
In the CONVINCE trial, the primary analysis demonstrated a survival benefit for patients receiving high-dose hemodiafiltration (HDF) as compared with high-flux hemodialysis (HD). A secondary objective was to evaluate effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL); assessed in eight domains (physical function, cognitive function, fatigue, sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, pain interference
Measurements of inclusive, differential cross-sections for the production of events with missing transverse momentum in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV are presented. The measurements are made with the ATLAS detector using an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 and include measurements of dijet distributions in a region in which vector-boson fusion processes are enhan
BACKGROUND: Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can experience obstacles in traditional health care situations due to difficulties associated with their impairment.OBJECTIVE: This controlled study aims to investigate the feasibility of an internet-based support and coaching intervention (IBSC), including 2 weekly chat sessions and 2 c
Based on repeated surveys of the vascular plant flora in 120 hectar plots in the province of Scania, southern-most Sweden, and analyses based on species-specific traits and ecological indicator values, it is concluded that significant changes have taken place 2018–2020 but that they probably mostly reflect the effects of the extremely dry and hot summer of 2018. Species richness has increased signBased on repeated surveys of the vascular plant flora in 120 hectar plots in the province of Scania, southern-most Sweden, and analyses based on species-specific traits and ecological indicator values, it is concluded that significant changes have taken place 2018–2020 but that they probably mostly reflect the effects of the extremely dry and hot summer of 2018.

BackgroundGender stereotypes about women and men have a complementary structure, where women and men are seen as high/low in feminine characteristics and low/high in masculine characteristics. These stereotypes are related to representation within social roles, where beliefs about social role occupation influences which characteristics are associated with women or men. It is not known how people w
The dosimetry of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is not fully elaborated yet, and some of these systems presents dose-area-product (DAP) values after an examination rather than, as in the case of traditional CT, the doselength- product (DLP). The purpose of this study was to provide a reproducible and straight-forward method for DLP measurements on CBCT, as well as to validate a tool for esti
