Background: The purpose of this study was to analyse if there is a relationship between the directions of windswept hip deformity and scoliosis for children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to explore potential associations with spasticity, contractures and hip displacement. Methods: A cross-sectional registry-based study was conducted using data from the combined Swedish CP Follow-up Program and Nati
People with intellectual disabilities have an increased risk of diabetes mellitus (DM). They tend to develop it at earlier ages than the general population, resulting in even higher risks in younger people. However, few studies have separated Type 1 and Type 2 DM. The aim of this study was to assess prevalence of different types of DM in different age groups in relation to the general population.
BackgroundAmbulance clinicians increasingly refer patients to self-care, positioning ambulance service within a wider gatekeeping role and necessitating the assessment of whether self-care is a safe option or if further support is needed. Contrary to primary healthcare centre (PHC) referrals, self-care referrals often lack structured follow-ups, with the decision consequences remaining underexplor

Background: Breast cancer diagnoses are limited in low- and middle-income settings due to lack of medical resources. In these settings, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) combined with artificial intelligence (AI)-based interpretation could be a suitable approach. Purpose: To compare the performance of an AI-based breast cancer classification algorithm with radiologists and assess whether POCUS perf
As digital communication has transformed how people read, words now routinely appear alongside pictographic symbols such as emojis. How the reading system processes these mixed displays, and whether such processing is universal across language backgrounds, remains unclear. This study examined how emojis are semantically processed during sentence reading and whether the reader's language backgr
This study examines the relationship between video games exposure and political attitudes among young adults in Sweden. As video games have become one of the most prominent forms of contemporary popular culture and entertainment media, and Sweden ranks as one of Europe’s most founded gaming industries. It is important to understand whether gaming engagement is associated with political socialisati

Popular Abstract in Swedish ETT PARADIS FÖR ALLA. EPA MELLAN FOLKHEM OCH FÖRFÖRELSE I början av 1930-talet etablerades en ny form av konsumtion i Sverige när Enhetsprisaktibolaget Epa öppnade dörrarna för en hänförd och överväldigad allmänhet. Hörnstenar i Epa-systemet var fasta priser, massproducerade produkter, stora lagerutrymmen och låga leveranskostnader. Varorna var avsedda för en ny bred kA Paradise for All. Epa between the People's Home and Seduction. This dissertation is about the Epa department store chain, which existed in Sweden from 1930 to 1977. For many people, Epa was an arena for meeting modernity. By allowing issues of tradition and modernity, cultural learning processes, class, gender and aesthetics to collide with the Epa phenomenon, a complex picture of the Swedish P
1 We examined non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) stimulation for its stabilizing effect on bronchial smooth-muscle tone with respect to its regulatory power and the effect of variations in neural impulse frequency. 2 The guinea-pig isolated main bronchus (n = 4-12) was pretreated with indomethacin (1O JAM) and incubated with atropine (1 pM) and guanethidine (10 JM).

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fetma räknas som ett av världens tio viktigaste hälsoproblem enligt WHO och ökar i snabb takt. Man beräknar att över 1 miljard av världens vuxna befolkning är överviktig, d.v.s. har ett kroppsmasseindex (BMI) ?25.0 kg/m², varav 300 miljoner är feta, d.v.s. har ett BMI ?30.0 kg/m². I Sverige är 38% av kvinnor och 58% av män mellan 25 och 64 år överviktiga, och 11% respekThe aim of this thesis was to study the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in obese individuals, as measured by different obesity measurements, and to explore how the CVD risk related to obesity was modified by other biologic and socio-demographic circumstances. Data from two population-based cohort studies was used. The Malmö Preventive Project included 22 444 middle-aged me
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of highly malignant mesenchymal tumors that account for ~1% of all malignancies. Frequent heterogeneity and pleomorphism along with suboptimal diagnostic reproducibility and insufficient prognostic markers make clinical management of these tumors difficult. This thesis has applied microarray-based gene expression and copy-number profiling to STS
The structures of the hydrated thallium(III) halide and pseudohalide complexes, [TlX(n)(OH2)(m)]((3-n)+), X = Cl, Br, CN, in aqueous solution have been studied by a combination of X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS), large-angle X-ray scattering (LAXS), and vibrational spectroscopic (Raman and IR) techniques including far-infrared studies of aqueous solutions and some solid phases
Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan 1981, då de första fallen av AIDS beskrevs, har 25 miljoner människor dött på grund av att de har blivit smittade av immunbristviruset HIV . Det finns idag mer än 40 miljoner människor som lever med HIV eller AIDS. SIV är apsläktets variant på HIV och orsakar normalt ingen sjukdom hos sina värddjur som är olika afrikanska apor, men då asiatiska apor, t. ex. makakeSimian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infections in macaques are commonly used as models to study the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Both SIV and HIV normally use the CD4 receptor and an additional coreceptor for cell entry. The most common coreceptors used by HIV are CCR5 and CXCR4. SIV use CCR5 and rarely CXCR4 but may use other coreceptors as alternatives. We have studied vi
This work deals with a detailed analysis of the vibrational spectra of methoxy (CH3O-) and ethoxy (CH3CH2O-) on W(110) and Cu(100) single crystal surfaces. By using theoretical ab initio quantum mechanical modeling, it is demonstrated that an unprecedented quantitative understanding of the vibrational frequencies of a surface adsorbate can be obtained. A qua
The secondary structure of proteins is crucial for proper function of the protein in biological systems. Peptide T, an octapeptide from the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of the HIV virus, has previously been shown to be responsible for binding to the CD4 receptor on T helper/inducer lymphocytes. NMR studies showed that the four C-terminal amino acid residues of peptide T adopted a beta-turn conforma
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligast förekommande cancerformen hos kvinnor. Under sin livstid kommer tio procent av den kvinnliga befolkningen att få bröstcancer men endast en minoritet kommer att avlida av den. Operation är den vanligaste behandlingen och kombineras oftast med strålbehandling. Armlymfödem samt nedsatt axelrörlighet och muskelstyrka är välkända sidoeffekter tilTen percent of the female population in Sweden will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, but only a minority will die from the disease. Arm lymph oedema is a well-known complication following breast cancer treatment and the incidence varies between about 10% when axillary node dissection is performed and about 40% when axillary radiotherapy is added. The general aim of this thes
Popular Abstract in Swedish Med hackspettsögon: att förstå habitatval, revirkvalitet och reproduktionsbeslut utifrån individers beteende Min doktorsavhandling bygger både på teoretiska modeller och på fältstudier av mindre hackspett (Dendrocopos minor). För att slippa språkliga krumbukter eller tvetydigheter kommer jag hädanefter att kalla arten "småspett" i denna sammanfattning. Fältstudierna gjIn this thesis I present some connections between foraging behaviour and reproductive success, time budget, tree species use, and habitat selection. The thesis is based upon both theoretical and empirical work. All empirical studies concern a south Swedish population of lesser spotted woodpeckers Dendrocopos minor, studied between 1990 and 1996. The foraging behaviour of the lesser spotted woodpe
Anaerobic digestion (AD) offers considerable potential in the production of energy from renewable sources, and is being increasingly recognised as a sustainable technology for the treatment of waste. The production of energy from waste such as municipal solid waste (MSW), lipid-rich waste, and agricultural biomass and waste may play an important role in the production of renewable energy given the
