A total of 20 patients with a depressed fracture of the lateral tibial plateau (Schatzker II or III) who would undergo open reduction and internal fixation were randomised to have the metaphyseal void in the bone filled with either porous titanium granules or autograft bone. Radiographs were undertaken within one week, after six weeks, three months, six months, and after 12 months. The primary out
Lyme arthritis (LA) is a recognized manifestation of Lyme borreliosis in Sweden, but data on the causative Borrelia species are limited. This study aimed to describe the demographics of LA and identify Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi s.l.) genospecies present in synovial fluid (SF). Patient data were collected from the test requisition form accompanying consecutive SF samples submi
Heat pumps are a key technology for decarbonizing residential heating, yet their diffusion remains limited in many countries, partly due to challenges of public acceptance and legitimacy. This study tracks how heat pumps are portrayed in German public discourse by analyzing sentiment in online news coverage. We compile a corpus of 33,131 German heat pump–related news articles published between 201
In addition to a majority of insulin-producing β-cells, the mammalian pancreatic islets contain considerable numbers of α1- and α2-cells. While the α2-cells are the cellular source of glucagon, the secretory product stored in the granules of the α1-cells still remains to be identified.Several authors have reported that glucagon stimulates insulin release. This effect of glucagon was found to be de
A simple modification of Greiner electronics selective analyser G300 allowing direct transference of serum samples to the process tubes is described. The modified instrument permitted use of pediatric and capillary blood samples. Eight different capillary analyses were tested on the modified instrument and the results agreed with those obtained by the ordinary analytical macroprocedures of the ins
Mutations in mitochondrial D-loop region of DNA (mtDNA) may serve as a potential sensor for cellular DNA damage and marker for cancer development. We investigated the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern of the D-loop region in the blood samples of breast cancer patients among Mizoram population. Significant differences were observed among breast cancer and healthy blood samples
Therapeutic strategies directed at the tumor surfaceome (TS), including checkpoint inhibitor blocking antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, provide a new armament to fight cancer. However, a remaining bottleneck is the lack of strategies to comprehensively interrogate patient tumors for potential TS targets. Here, we have developed a platform (
The number of companies in Sweden has shown a significant increase over the last five years (www.bolagsverket.se). Data about these companies is an important asset for the customer relationship management market. In most business areas, users are in search for new customers. Companies, such as Lundalogik AB, provide a service, where the analysts can look for customers in an interactive environment
In times of major global interconnectedness and environmental change, the pressure to identify, create, and exploit new resources is certain to intensify. Given that there are unavoidable trade-offs, conflicts, and arenas for violence involved when increasingly more material and immaterial things are turned into resources, we call for explicit research on the very process – a process that we label
Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by hyperthyroidism and is caused by an interplayof genetic and environmental factors. One-third of patients with GD develop Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO). Keyprocesses in the pathogenesis of GO are inflammation and adipogenesis in orbital tissue. Strong risk factorsassociated with the development of GO are smoking and radioiodine treatment
Background and purpose: Inter-modality image registration between computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images is associated with systematic uncertainties and the magnitude of these uncertainties is not well documented. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential uncertainty of gold fiducial marker (GFM) registration for localized prostate cancer and to estimate the i
The impact of plastic on the environment has been acknowledged on different levels, among others various NGOs around the world. These NGOs are known to aim for a reduction of plastic ending up in nature and more specifically the ocean. Plastic has been instrumental to the development of modern societies since the 1950s as the properties of the material enables it to be used for various purposes. T
