Importance: Long-term follow-up after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is of interest given that longitudinal data on mortality and durability of transcatheter heart valves are limited. The REPRISE III (Repositionable Percutaneous Replacement of Stenotic Aortic Valve Through Implantation of Lotus Valve System-Randomized Clinical Evaluation) randomized clinical trial compared the mecha

Importance: Recent studies have questioned the presumed low-risk status of patients with asymptomatic nonsevere aortic stenosis (AS). Whether annual N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurements are useful for risk assessment is unknown. Objective: To assess the association of annual NT-proBNP measurements with clinical outcomes in patients with nonsevere AS. Design, Setting, a

Ultrasonic motors (USMs) have been extensively studied for three decades, due to their attractive features, such as high torque at low speed, simple structure, and precise positioning capability. However, since USMs are driven by the friction force between the rotor and the stator in most cases, they inherently possess the friction loss and the wear of contact materials, which cause their low effi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om hur fett (lipider) i kosten bryts ner och transporteras i blodet för att slutligen antingen användas som energi, byggstenar i cellväggarna eller lagras i fettväven. I den här avhandlingen kan man också läsa om hur man kan modifiera fetter med hjälp av speciella proteiner: enzymer för att förbättra näringsinnehållet och dess fysikaliska egenskaperAn important indicator of the metabolic capacity of humans is the ability to regulate plasma triacylglycerol levels and to clear triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) from the circulation after a meal. This is crucial since most of the day is spent in the postprandial state. High concentrations and long circulation times of TRL remnants may be detrimental since these are considered to be highly

Hjärtsvikt betecknar ett syndrom som innebär att hjärtat har otillräcklig förmåga att försörja kroppen med blod. Detta kan antingen bero på att hjärtat inte kan fyllas med eller stöta ut tillräckligt med mängd blod. Patienter med hjärtsvikt har i allmänhet hög dödlighet, detta trots att stora framsteg har gjorts avseende behandlingen av hjärtsvikt, speciellt sedan 1980-talet. Femårsöverlevnaden föIntroduction: Despite major advances, the incidence rate and mortality of heart failure (HF) remains high, with a five-year survival of approximately 50%. At the time of inception of this thesis the familial risks of HF, including the aspects of mortality, were largely underdetermined. This thesis is composed of four papers with the main aims as follows:To determine the risk of hospitalization of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Beräkningar från Cancerfonden visar på att ungefär var tredje person i Sverige kommer att få en cancerdiagnos under sin livstid. Cancerceller är celler som har utvecklat speciella förmågor som gör att de har börjat dela sig ohämmat. Denna ohämmade celldelning leder till bildandet av en tumör och när tumören har nått ett visst stadie i sin utveckling så börjar den spridaAs a cancer grows it will, at a certain stage of disease progression, start spreading in the body. For several types of cancer this spreading will first occur through the lymphatic system and the first place where metastatic cell will be encountered is the first lymph node that drains the area where the tumor is located. This lymph node is defined as the sentinel lymph node (SLN). By analyzing the

Numerous Neoproterozoic mafic dykes, referred to as the Dashigou swarm, are identified in the central and southeastern parts of the North China craton (NCC). They are 305-010 degrees trending dykes, with widths of similar to 10-100 m and exposed lengths of several to >10 km. Precise U-Pb isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) measurements on baddeleyite grains separated fr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgörs av studier av smärtupplevelse i olika befolkningsgrupper. I fokus för analyserna står smärtans totala utbredning. Ett beteendepsykolo-giskt perspektiv har applicerats på psykosociala aspekter av betydelse för att hantera den kroniska smärtan. Alla studier har genomförts på urval av Malmöbefolkningen. Bakgrund. Smärtrelaterad arbetsoförmåga är ett foMusculoskeletal pain-related vocational dysfunction is a major public health problem. The solution is beyond the scope of biomedicine, but the problem could well be analyzed in the complementary, cognitive-behavior psychological frame of reference. In order to better prevent the development of pain-related dysfunction: The sociodemographic milieu of dysfunctional chronic pain patients was examined

The doubly magic nucleus ¹⁰⁰Sn represents a crucial test for the nuclear shell model, which is a widely used model for a quantitative description of nuclei. Excited states in ¹⁰⁰Sn are experimentally not accessible with present day techniques, but it is possible to gain insight into its structure by studying the properties of excited states of neighboring nuclei. These nuclei

Framställningen syftar till att belysa den svenska vårdnadslagslagstiftningen avseende bestämmanderätten vid gemensam vårdnad samt konsekvenserna av vårdnadshavares oförmåga att samarbeta i frågor som rör barns rätt till vård. Enligt svensk familjerätt är det bästa för barnet att stå under föräldrarnas gemensamma vårdnad samt att föräldrarna tar gemensamma beslut i alla frågor som rör barnet. NämnThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the current legislation regarding the right of decision under joint legal custody and the absence of legal rules in this area. The thesis furthermore analyses the consequences of the legal requirement of consensus between the parents for all decisions regarding the child, as well as the consequence of the parents inability to cooperate when it comes to the chil

För att en person ska kunna dömas för ett brott krävs det att denna har handlat med uppsåt eller i vissa fall oaktsamhet. För att uppsåt ska föreligga ska handlingen ha varit medveten och det ska finnas ett kausalsamband mellan denna och dess följd. Uppsåtsbegreppet är indelat i tre grader: avsiktsuppsåt, insiktsuppsåt och likgiltighetsuppsåt och de är graderade i den ordning de räknades upp med dResearchers who studied alcohol dependence in humans have come to the conclusion that alcoholism affects the brain's neurotransmitters, which means that the brain can begin to function differently about exposing the large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time. An addiction to alcohol is hard to recover from, with many severe withdrawal symptoms as a result. In the current legal situati

Ändtarmscancer är en av de vanligast förekommande cancersjukdomarna. Tillsammans med tjocktarmscancer är det den tredje vanligaste cancersjukdomen i världen. Den behandlas vanligen med kirurgi, under vilken en stor del av ändtarmen och dess omgivande fettvävnad tas bort. För att minska risken för återfall kan operationen kompletteras med strålbehandling, där patienterna oftast strålbehandlas innanBackground and purpose: During radiotherapy, rectal cancer patients show inter-fractional internal motion that effects the delivered dose distribution. The purpose of this work is to study I) the inter-fractional bladder volume change, II) the effect of bladder volume change on bowel dose distribution, III) the effect of bladder optimization on the relationship between bladder volume and bowel dos

Barnets ställning i det svenska samhället har under de senaste århundradena utvecklats från en obetydlig människa till en individ som spelar en stor roll i människors liv. Denna utveckling är ett exempel på hur mänskliga relationer och sociala processer påverkar hur man ser på olika individer i samhället. Utvecklingen skulle också kunna ses som en bidragande orsak till varför vårdnadstvister har öIn the last centuries, the child´s position in society has evolved from being seen as an insignificant human being to an individual that plays an important role in people’s lives. This development is an example of how social processes and human relations play part in how we see different people in society. The custody disputes in Sweden has increased over the past years. The evolvement of the chil

This thesis examines the transmission mechanism of indexed bonds and loans in comparison to nominal bonds in the context of Iceland's monetary policy. The study analyses the effectiveness of indexed bonds and loans in transmitting monetary policy, in the form of the policy rate, and their impact on the economy by using a VAR model. The study explores the historical background of indexation in

The impact of cytogenetic findings in AML was analyzed in the large population-based Swedish AML registry. Karyotypic patterns differed by age: t(8;21), inv(16) and t(11q23) were more common in younger patients, whereas loss of 5q, 7q and 17p, monosomal karyotype (MK) and complex karyotype (CK) were more common in older patients. Patients with ≥5 chromosome abnormalities had worse overall survival

De provokativa åtgärderna är en polisiär arbets- och utredningsmetod, vilken traditionellt beskrivs som att polisen i sitt brottsbekämpande arbete lockar fram beteenden från en enskild brottsmisstänkt, i form av yttranden eller handlingar, som kan vara ofördelaktiga för vederbörande. De provokativa åtgärderna har använts inom den polisiära verksamheten en längre tid, trots avsaknad av lagregleringProvocative measures can be described as a an investigation method, whereas the police entices to behaviour through expressions or actions, which in some aspect are unfavourable or disadvantegous for the provoced person. Provocative measures have been used as an investigation method by the Swedish police for a longer time, even though no legislation legitimizes or regulates its usage. The uncertai

Barsebäcks kärnkraftverk driftsattes 1975 och den första reaktorn togs ur drift 1999 och den andra 2005. Nedmontering och rivning av kärnkraftverket har inletts och processen beräknas vara klar på 2030-talet. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att kartlägga eventuell radioaktiv kontamination i området runt Barsebäcksverket. Mitt mål är att ta fram en metod för att särskilja bakgrundsstrålning från Background and aim: The Barsebäck nuclear power plant (NPP) units ceased operations in 1999 and 2005. Now the NPP is in the phase of decommissioning, which is a complicated process that will take many years to complete. Radiological characterization of the surrounding area is a part of the decommissioning process. The aim of this thesis was to identify and quantify residual anthropogenic radioacti
