Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper presents a filtering ADC for the LTE communication standard, where a second-order Delta-Sigma modulator (DSM) is incorporated into the third-order Chebychev channel-select filter (CSF) of the radio receiver. The CSF introduces an additional third-order suppression of both thermal and quantization DSM noise, while the CSF transfer function is maintained. A design

The Parkinson's disease (PD) home diary is frequently used in clinical trials to measure efficacy of medical treatments for motor fluctuations in advanced PD. This prospective study in fluctuating PD patients examines the validity of the diary for quantification of motor states in comparison to direct clinical observation. 51 patients (median age: 65 years, disease duration: 11 years) completed th

AimsInfection is a serious complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy. An antibiotic-eluting absorbable envelope has been developed to reduce the infection rate, but studies investigating the efficacy and a reasonable number needed to treat in high-risk populations for infections are limited.Methods and resultsOne hundred and forty-four patients undergoing CIED implantati

Introduction: Ampullary neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) is rare and evidence regarding their management is scarce. This study aimed to describe clinicopathological features, management, and prognosis of ampullary NEN according to their endoscopic or surgical management. Methods: From a multi-institutional international database, patients treated with either endoscopic papillectomy (EP), transduoden

Population-specific thresholds have not been defined for the levels of adiposity and systemic biomarkers that predict chronic health risks in people with restricted growth conditions. Here, anthropometric measures of adiposity, basal metabolic requirements, and fasted blood samples were obtained from adults with restricted growth (age 41 ± 14 years, height 1.30 ± 0.10 m, body mass 60.5 ± 18.3 kg,

BACKGROUND: To evaluate potential sex differences, this study aimed to investigate blood pressure and lipid control and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease in treated hypertensive (tHT) patients from primary healthcare. DESIGN AND METHODS: This cross-sectional survey of tHT patients was carried out between 2002 and 2005 by 264 primary care physicians from Sweden who consecutively recruit

PURPOSEWe report on a multicenter phase II trial of (90)yttrium-ibritumomab-tiuxetan ((90)YIT) as first-line stand-alone therapy for patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). PATIENTS AND METHODSFifty-nine patients with CD20(+) FL grade 1 to 3a in stages II, III, or IV, age 50 years old or older requiring therapy were enrolled. They received (90)YIT according to standard procedure. If complete respo

Introduction: Whether busulphan -treated patients develop blastic transformation earlier than hydroxyurea treated has been a controversial issue. In a randomised prospective study, we examined the busulphan versus hydroxyurea influence on time to blast crisis and on survival. When we opened our study in 1984, the clinical benefit of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was not well known;

Objectives To determine the causes and predictors of mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Patients with SSc (n=5860) fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology criteria and prospectively followed in the EULAR Scleroderma Trials and Research (EUSTAR) cohort were analysed. EUSTAR centres completed a structured questionnaire on cause of death and comorbidities. Kaplan-Meier and Cox pro

The mechanism(s) behind the larger relative increase of Plasma beta 2 microglobulin (P-beta 2m) than that of Plasma albumin (P-alb) during Cuprophan hemodialysis is disputed. To elucidate this phenomenon P-alb, P-beta 2m (MW 11,800) and Plasma cystatin (P-cC; MW 13,000) an inhibitor of cystein proteinases, were determined before and after a Cuprophan or polysulphone hemodialysis (4-7 hr, QB 200 ml

Aim: To assess the prevalence of neurodevelopmental problems in adolescents with severe obesity and their associations with binge eating and depression. Methods: Data were collected at inclusion in a randomised study of bariatric surgery in 48 adolescents (73% girls; mean age 15.7 ± 1.0 years; mean body mass index 42.6 ± 5.2 kg/m2). Parents completed questionnaires assessing their adolescents’ sym

PURPOSE: To present Swedish Macula Register (SMR) data regarding treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in clinical practice since 2008.METHODS: A retrospective register-based study was conducted. Evaluation of baseline demographics, visual outcome and number of injections during this period is presented.RESULTS: Mean age at diagnosis was 79 ± (SD) 8 years; 65% were female

BACKGROUND: Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are recommended as part of first-line treatment for HIV-1 in Africa. However, NNRTI-based regimens are more prone to resistance development than protease inhibitors (PIs) in a context in which drug interruptions are frequent. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of NNRTIs with PIs in HIV-1-infected pa

Objective: In Sweden complications after radical cystectomy have been reported to the nationwide population-based Swedish Cystectomy Registry since 2011. Here, validation of the reporting was assessed in two healthcare regions. Materials and methods: Complications were ascertained from patient records by a third party not involved in the care delivered to 429 randomly selected patients from 949 wh

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) impacts many veterans and active duty soldiers, but diagnosis can be problematic due to biases in self-disclosure of symptoms, stigma within military populations, and limitations identifying those at risk. Prior studies suggest that PTSD may be a systemic illness, affecting not just the brain, but the entire body. Therefore, disease signals likely span multipl

In the current study we evaluated the structure of positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) diagnostics in the Russian Federation. Patient effective doses, organ doses and corresponding radiation risks for the most common PET/CT examinations were evaluated. Data was collected in 12 regions of the Russian Feder

Background and Aims: Population-based data on prescribed opioid use among adults with Crohn's disease (CD) remain limited. Methods: This nationwide register-based study included individuals ≥ 18 years with incident (2008–2019) or prevalent (2008–2021) CD and up to 10 individually matched reference individuals without inflammatory bowel disease. We categorised opioid dispensations as weak (e.g., tr
