Background: Previous studies have suggested that targeting the site of latest mechanical activation of the left ventricle (LV) results in improved cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) outcomes. It is not known whether these benefits are sustained over medium-term follow-up. Objective: To assess the clinical outcome of imaging-guided LV lead position. Methods: We sought to assess the medium-term
BACKGROUND: Hospital readmissions are common among older multimorbid patients, and hospitalisation is associated with functional decline and reduced quality of life. Identifying patient characteristics and risk factors for repeated hospital visits following an emergency department (ED) encounter is important for guiding targeted interventions to prevent future revisits.AIM: To characterise multimo
Objective: Data remain divergent regarding the activational effects of endogenous hormones on adult cognitive function. We examined the association between cognition, hormones and androgen receptor (AR) CAG repeat length in a large cohort of men. Design: Community-based, cross-sectional study of 3369 men aged 40-79 years. Methods: Cognition tests were the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure, Camden Topo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kring familjeproblematiken och för behandlingen av familjekonflikter har det svenska samhället organiserat olika sociala verksamheter som traditionellt regleras av Socialtjänstlagen. Familjerådgivningen är en av dessa verksamheter och definieras som en psykoterapeutisk behandling, till vilken en eller båda parter vänder sig oftast på frivillig basis när de upplever att
Small synthetic ligands for protein purification have become increasingly interesting with the growing need for cheap chromatographic materials for protein purification and especially for the purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Today, Protein A-based chromatographic resins are the most commonly used capture step in mAb down stream processing; however, the use of Protein A chromatography
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) remains a leading cause of transfusionrelated deaths. In most cases, anti-leukocyte antibodies in the transfusion product trigger TRALI, but not all anti-leukocyte antibodies cause TRALI. It has been shown that the anti-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antibody 34-1-2S (anti-H-2Kd) causes TRALI in BALB/c mice (MHC class I haplotype H-2Kd)
The spontaneous open-field behavioural effects of 10 days of chronic treatment with two clinical doses (10 and 20 mg/kg daily) and one high/toxic dose (100 mg/kg daily) of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram (delivered subcutaneously by implanted osmotic pumps) were examined in rats. Central and peripheral arena locomotor and rearing activities were recorded simultaneously, and t
The joint actions of animals in partnerships or social groups evolve under both natural selection from the wider environment and social selection imposed by other members of the pair or group. We used experimental evolution to investigate how jointly expressed actions evolve upon exposure to a new environmental challenge. Our work focused on the evolution of carrion nest preparation by pairs of bu
Enligt HSVs rapport ”Kartläggning av distansverksamheten vid universitet ochhögskolor” från 2011 är genomströmningen i landets distansutbildningar betydligt lägre än motsvarande för campusutbildningar. I detta paper kommer jag att belysa fenomenet genomströmning genom att rikta blicken mot MOOCs, en annan typ av nätbaserade kurser än de som vanligtvis diskuteras i sammanhanget. MOOCs erbjuder en m
