OBJECTIVE: Cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for acute cholecystitis, but in high-risk patients with serious comorbidity and in patients of advanced age there is substantial morbidity and mortality associated with the intervention. In these selected patients, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PCS) is an alternative mode of management. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcome of
There is limited knowledge of knee laxity in the long term after a complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear treated without ACL reconstruction. The aim of this study was (1) to describe the clinical course of knee laxity after a complete ACL tear over 15 years, and (2) to study the association between knee laxity and meniscal injuries and the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA). We studi
Identifying the genetic variants that regulate fasting glucose concentrations may further our understanding of the pathogenesis of diabetes. We therefore investigated the association of fasting glucose levels with SNPs in 2 genome-wide scans including a total of 5,088 nondiabetic individuals from Finland and Sardinia. We found a significant association between the SNP rs563694 and fasting glucose
Neurochemical evidence indicates that cognitive impairment in dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) is related to degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the brain. A pharmacological approach is treatment with a cholinesterase inhibitor such as tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA). THA treatment of 17 patients with DAT was studied with a double-blind crossover design with three types of treatment, THA + lecith
We have studied the influence of bacterial host on the secretion of single-chain Fv antibody fragment (scFv), the production of this antibody fragment as intracellular fusion protein, and the effect of chaperonin coexpression on intracellular antibody expression. Seven bacterial strains were transformed with a vector carrying the genes encoding the variable regions of an anti-CEA scFv antibody and
Industrial relevance is essential for an applied research area like software engineering. However, it is unclear how to achieve industrial relevance and how we communicate and assess it. We propose a reasoning framework to support the design, reporting, and assessment of research for industrial relevance.
Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc), an autosomal recessive disorder, is associated with cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. Previous studies were focused around exploring the functional annotation of VPS13A gene in ChAc, whereas the genetic labyrinth underlying this disease and plausible drug targets were underexplored. In the present study, we have identified the pivotal genes and molecular pathway
Ferritin, the central iron storage protein, has attracted attention as a biomarker of severe COVID-19. Few studies have investigated regulators of iron metabolism in the context of COVID-19. The aim was to evaluate biomarkers for iron metabolism in the acute phase response to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by SARS-CoV-2 compared with CAP caused by bacteria or influenza virus in hospital
We present a method for estimating fossil fuel methane emissions using observations of methane and ethane, accounting for uncertainty in their emission ratio. The ethane:methane emission ratio is incorporated as a spatially and temporally variable parameter in a Bayesian model, with its own prior distribution and uncertainty. We find that using an emission ratio distribution mitigates bias from us
BackgroundWe aimed to fill the gaps of knowledge concerning incidence rates and temporal trend, clinical features and risk factors for death for M. morganii bloodstream infections in south Sweden.MethodsThis was an observational, population-based study including all patients with at least one blood culture positive for Morganella morganii between 2013-2023 in Skåne, south Sweden.ResultsA total of
Neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain is well studied, in the two main regions subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone (SGZ), under different physiological and pathological condition. Recent studies also revealed newly formed neurons in other parts of the brain including the hypothalamus. However, how robust neurogensis in this area is, is still unclear. In this study we used a novel re
Barnpornografibrott innebär att ett barn har utsatts för ett sexuellt övergrepp. Ett övergrepp som dessutom har dokumenterats och kan spridas vidare. I svensk lagstiftning utgör det emellertid inte ett sexualbrott, utan ett brott mot allmän ordning. Till följd av detta har barnet inte en självklar ställning som målsägande, det har istället staten. Om barnet inte har målsägandeställning finns det iWhen a child pornography crime is committed, it means that a child has been subjected to sexual abuse. The abuse has been documented and can be spread. In Swedish law, child pornography crime does not constitute a sex crime; instead, it is a crime against public order. The consequence of this is, that the child is not to be considered the victim in a legal procedure; instead the state has that pos

Does method matter? … 1 Does method matter? Collecting and understanding experience data with different techniques Abstract When collecting data on experiences, respondents’ reports change as time goes by. Therefore, it is vital to collect data on experiences close to where and when they take place. In this study, GPS devices combined with questionnaires were compared to smartphones to collect exp
