Background: Myocardium at risk (MaR) can be evaluated by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging using contrast-enhanced steady state free precession (CE-SSFP) in patients after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, CE-SSFP utilizes gadolinium contrast, which is contraindicated in patients with severe renal insufficiency. Native T1-mapping is a non-contrast CMR method which

Abstract in Danish Formål: Formålet er at beskrive tuberkulosens (tbc.) epidemiologi i Danmark de sidste 25 år, specielt udviklingen i den danske befolkning. Metode: Et registerstudie af anmeldte tilfælde af tbc. i Danmark 1972-1996: Fra 1970-1989 i DIKE's register, fra 1990-1996 i EPI-registeret, epidemiologisk afd., Statens Serum Institut. Resultater: tbc.-incidensen faldt jævnt fra 1972 indtiThe present study is based on notified cases of tuberculosis (TB) in the National tbc. register 1972-1996. A decline in Tb incidence was seen from 1972 and until the mid-1980's. Subsequently the trend has reversed due to an increasing number of TB cases in foreigners. In 1996, 60% of all cases of TB in Denmark were found in foreigners reflecting the rising number of refugees and their families arr

Background: Several attempts to increase the locoregional control in locally advanced lung cancer including concurrent chemotherapy, accelerated fractionation and dose escalation have been made during the last years. As the EGFR directed antibody cetuximab has shown activity concurrent with radiotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, as well as in stage IV NSCLC combined with che

It is essential to label roads, landmarks, and other important features on maps for mobile applications to help users to understand their location and the environment. This paper aims to examine real-time map labelling methods suitable for the small screen on mobile devices. A slider method with a continuous search space was proposed to sequentially label both line and point features. The method s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Strålbensfrakturer i armbågsleden I denna avhandling har jag försökt kartlägga hur det går för individer som drabbats av ett benbrott i anslutning till armbågen. I underarmen finns två ben, strålbenet och armbågsbenet. Strålbenets övre del ledar dels mot överarmsbenet men också mot armbågsbenet. När en person ramlar med utsträckt arm finns det risk att det uppstår ett All elbow fractures between 1969 – 1979 (n=2965) registered at the radiographic archives at the Malmö University Hospital, where all radiographs are saved since a century, were evaluated. Fractures of the radial head and neck were classified according to the by Broberg and Morrey modified Mason classification. A Mason type I fracture is a less than 2 mm displaced fracture of the radial head or nec

This paper presents datasets that enable historical longitudinal studies of micro-level geographic factors in a rural setting. These types of datasets are new, as historical demography studies have generally failed to properly include the micro-level geographic factors. Our datasets describe the geography over five Swedish rural parishes, and by linking them to a longitudinal demographic database,

IMPORTANCE Fluid overload occurring as a consequence of overly aggressive fluid resuscitation may adversely affect outcome in hemodynamically unstable critically ill patients. Therefore, following the initial fluid resuscitation, it is important to identify which patients will benefit from further fluid administration. OBJECTIVE To identify predictors of fluid responsiveness in hemodynamically uns

The aim of this study was to describe how former male patients perceive life after recovery from an eating disorder. A qualitative method with a phenomenographic approach was used to identify ways of experiencing recovery. Two descriptive categories were developed: body acceptance and self-worth. Six conceptions describe how recovered patients now relate in a balanced way to exercise and food, usi

A considerable part of latency in the baseband of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is introduced by orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (de)modulation. To address the low-latency demand of massive MIMO systems, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor and corresponding reordering scheme are proposed, which reduce the processing latency and reordering latency of O

Integrated models are inherently complex and often obscure to any but those who write them. Their usefulness can be greatly enhanced through well-structured, object-oriented design. A robust and computationally efficient Simulink/C++ library of optics, control, finite-element, and visualization routines for modeling radio telescope performance under various operating conditions is being developed

Drug-induced dyskinesias in dopamine-denervated animals are known to depend on both pre- and postsynaptic changes of the nigrostriatal circuitry. In lesion models used thus far, changes occur in both of these compartments and, therefore, it has not been possible to dissect the individual contribution of each compartment in the pathophysiology of dyskinesias. Here we silenced the nigrostriatal dopa

Organized human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination was introduced in Sweden in 2012. On-demand vaccination was in effect from 2006 to 2011. We followed the HPV prevalences in Southern Sweden from 2008 to 2013.

The age of parallelism is here. For a sustainable software development for massively parallel architectures the von Neumann model need to be replaced by one with native support for parallelism. We suggest a data flow model for signal processing applications. This will make it possible to reuse software implementations for different targets and future platform generations. We also outline our devel

Nyhetsmedierna i vårt samhälle är i förändring, och traditionell nyhetsbevakning blir allt svårare att skilja från populärkultur och nöjesmedier. Samtidigt uppvisar framför allt unga människor ett bristande intresse för traditionell medierapportering kring politiska frågor, och vänder sig istället till alternativa källor för information. En sådan källa är The Daily Show, ett satirprogram som fokus

It has during a long period been discussions whether Sweden should investigate the system regarding the rules on capital gains tax relief on home sales. The Commission has criticised Sweden regarding these rules for example because they do not enclose all legal forms of ownership. Sweden differs from the rest of the countries in the EEA as we use the legal form of appartments called ''bost
