To confirm findings from a previous pilot study in a larger normal cohort and to study first trimester maternal serum levels of cell-free fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and the heme-scavenger α1-microglobulin (A1M) in patients who subsequently developed preeclampsia (PE), furthermore to evaluate these proteins as predictive biochemical markers of PE.
The purpose of this study was to investigate breathing-motion induced interplay effects for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of liver tumours treated with flattening-filter free (FFF) volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Ten patients previously treated with liver SBRT were included in this study. All patients had four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) scans acquired prior to treatmen
An unbalanced chromosome number (aneuploidy) is present in most malignant tumours and has been attributed to mitotic mis-segregation of chromosomes. However, recent studies have shown a relatively high rate of chromosomal mis-segregation also in non-neoplastic human cells, while the frequency of aneuploid cells remains low throughout life in most normal tissues. This implies that newly formed aneu
We have monitored electrical activity, voltage-gated Ca2+ currents, and exocytosis in single rat glucagon-secreting pancreatic A-cells. The A-cells were electrically excitable and generated spontaneous Na+- and Ca2+-dependent action potentials. Under basal conditions, exocytosis was tightly linked to Ca2+ influx through omega-conotoxin-GVIA-sensitive (N-type) Ca2+ channels. Stimulation of the A-ce
“Bunny Needs Money, Honey” is a whimsical play centered around Honey Bunny, a spirited young rabbit determined to break free from the monotonous hamster wheel of her life. After trying her luck as an OnlyFans model and attempting a daring bank heist, Honey Bunny’s aspirations hit a snag. With her camgirl career falling short of her expectations, she embarks on a comedic journey, exploring unconven

The potential effects of income inequality have received much attention from researcher and policy-makers in recent years. Income inequality is found by many researchers to have negative effect on health outcomes, crime rates and long-term economic growth. Previous studies have focused mainly on developed countries due to data availability. This study aims at further investigate the hypothesis of
Online market makers bring together two or more distinct different parties to interact and transact with each other. By doing this, they either reduce search costs, shared transaction costs, or both. Reducing search costs reduces asymmetric information among users and makes sampling of candidates easier. Reducing shared transaction costs means making the transaction more flexible, less costly, and
The wide variety of physical phenomena, such as motion of objects, reaction among chemical substances, electricity flow in a circuit can be described by equations with quantities that vary along time.The rate at which a quantity is changing with respect to its independent variable (time), is represented by its derivative. Thus, these phenomena are modeled by equations with differential variables Adaptive multistep methods have been widely used to solve initial value problems. These ordinary differential equations (ODEs) may arise from semi-discretization of time-dependent partial differential equations(PDEs) or may combine with some algebraic equations to represent a differential algebraic equations (DAEs).In this thesis we study the initialization of multistep methods and parametrize som
Background: Intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is an accepted strategy to prevent recurrence of non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) but associated with significant toxicity. Objective: NIMBUS assessed whether a reduced number of standard-dose BCG instillations are noninferior to the standard number and dose in patients with high-grade NMIBC. Design, setting, and par

This essay investigates the impact of classroom gender composition on the mental health of adolescent students. Using data from the Health Behaviours of School-aged Children survey in the Czech Republic, we exploit idiosyncratic classroom variation in the gender composition within the same schools across different grades. We find that a higher proportion of female peers in the classroom has a detr
Misfolding, self-assembly, and subsequent deposition of amyloid β plaques and tau tangles are closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its neurodegenerative processes, driving healthy neurons into a diseased state. At present, AD is the most widespread form of dementia, causing profound personal and familial hardship as well as imposing a substantial societal economic burden.Currently,The purpose of the work that forms the basis of this thesis has been to investigate fundamental properties of amyloid β and tau self-assembly and their solubility. The results of this research are presented as five research articles. In Paper I, a solubility assay for determining the solubility of amyloid proteins is developed and its use demonstrated for the Aβ40 peptide. Paper II finds that tau
In view of the complexity of the wing-beat kinematics and geometry, an important class of theoretical models for analysis and prediction of bird flight performance entirely, or almost entirely, ignores the action of the wing itself and considers only the resulting motions in the air behind the bird. These motions can also be complicated, but some success has previously been recorded in detecting a
1.Offspring size is a key functional trait that can affect all phases of the life history, from birth to reproduction, and is common to all the Metazoa. Despite its ubiquity, reviews of this trait tend to be taxon‐specific. We explored the causes and consequences of offspring size variation across plants, invertebrates and vertebrates.2.We find that offspring size shows clear latitudinal patterns Offspring size is a key functional trait that can affect all phases of the life history, from birth to reproduction, and is common to all the Metazoa.

Population aging has tremendous economic consequences and generates an unprecedented pressure on the welfare state. As the number and share of ‘dependent’ people grows, the state struggles to finance pensions and health-related costs. In this optic, Sweden is no exception: the mean age of the population, life expectancy and share of people above 65 continuously increase – which warrants the focus
The aim of this study was to investigate if pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) are present in mosaic form in patients with congenital heart malformations. We have collected cardiac tissue and blood samples from 23 patients with congenital heart malformations that underwent cardiac surgery and screened for mosaic gene dose alterations restricted to cardiac tissue using array comparative genom
Our events are sometimes fully booked. For fire protection and safety reasons, we only allow seated audiences in Kapellsalen. Here are some rules of behaviour: In the case of free admission, we admit the public in the order in which they arrive. First come, first served.It is possible to hold a seat for your party as long as we judge that it is not about to be full. If it is full, we may have to g
