Introduction: Oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) has been implemented with increasing frequency in the treatment of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the oncologic outcome after OBS to the outcome after conventional breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with invasive breast cancer. Patients and Methods: In all, 197 patients treated with OBS were compared to 1399 patients trea

Artificial two-dimensional (2D) materials, which host electronic or spatial structure and properties not typical for their bulk allotropes, can be grown epitaxially on atomically flat surfaces; the design and investigation of these materials are thus at the forefront of current research. Here we report the formation of borophene, a planar boron allotrope, on the surface of Ir(111) by exposing it t

Background: Few tools evaluates quality of movements in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The Test for Substitution Patterns (TSP) is developed to measure the ability to perform five functional movements regarding postural control and altered movement patterns (1). TSP is validated and reliable in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury, but has not yet been evaluated in indivi

Targeted proteomics allows researchers to study proteins of interest without being drowned in data from other, less interesting proteins or from redundant or uninformative peptides. While the technique is mostly used for smaller, focused studies, there are several reasons to conduct larger targeted experiments. Automated, highly robust software becomes more important in such experiments. In additi

The dissociation behavior of proton conducting sulfonated polysulfones has been investigated by combining electrophoretic NMR, pulsed magnetic field gradient NMR and conductivity meas- urements on monomeric and polymeric samples with concentrations of ionic groups in the range where dissociation is not complete (IEC = 4.55 – 7.04 meq g-1). In this regime, counterion con- densation is shown to crit

Rats housed in an enriched environment allowing both social interaction and physical activity improve more than rats housed in standard laboratory cages after focal brain ischemia. To determine the relative importance of social and physical activity, rats that sustained ligation of the middle cerebral artery were kept in an enriched environment with opportunities for various activities (group A),

Immunomodulatory effects of various factor VIII and factor IX clotting factor concentrates (CFCs) and of albumin were evaluated by a sensitive assay measuring the incorporation of 3H-thymidine in phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes in the presence of monodansylthiacadaverine. In contrast to previous findings by others, we found lymphocyte transformation to be inhibited by all plasma-derived

PbO and PbO- were studied utilizing CCSD(T), CASSCF/CASPT2, and the Fock Space FSCCSD methods. Relativistic effects were treated by the spin-free, two-component infinite-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess, Dirac-Coulomb and the restricted active space state interaction RASSI-SO methods. Our adiabatic electron affinity (EA), 0.696 eV, agrees favorably with experiment (0.714 eV). Theoretical dissociation ener

This investigation makes a survey of the spread of fire and the fire development in low-rise residential building areas through obtaining the literal knowledge of factors having influence on a fire in one burning building and fire spread between buildings within a group of single-family houses. The purpose of the investigation was, on basis of the knowledge, to propose improved measures and the ch

Despite the favorable prognosis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a substantial subset of patients relapses. Since this occurs not only in the high risk but also in the standard/intermediate groups, the presently used risk stratification is suboptimal. The underlying mechanisms for treatment failure include presence of genetic changes causing insensitivity to the therapy administere

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING (Summary in Swedish) Ett självmordsförsök innebär ett stort lidande, såväl ho's personen i fråga som ho's omgivningen. Psykiatrin's huvudsakliga syfte i behandlingen av självmordsnära individer är att förhindra upprepade självmordsförsök och självmord. Av dem som gör ett självmordsförsök har 35 – 50% gjort ett eller flera självmordsföAbstract One important task for the mental health services is to prevent suicidal behaviour, especially among persons at high risk, e.g. those who have attempted suicide. In two follow-up samples, one and three months after a suicide attempts, both n=97, we found that 32% and 38% of the patients respectively had no treatment and 30% in each sample had suicidal thoughts. In a randomised controlled

The effects of planktivorous fish on lower trophic levels through predation on zooplankton and nutrient excretion were experimentally separated and their relative importance quantified in a eutrophic humic lake. The experiment was performed in 12 enclosures (3 mi), which initially were identical with respect to all components except fish. At the start of the experiment, caged fish not able to feed

Six pigs were used to study whether the collection of shed blood by means of surgical compresses instead of suction traumatizes such blood. In an in vivo part of the study, the whole blood volume of the pigs was retransfused after treatment with citrated compresses, and in an in vitro part the blood was treated extensively with compresses and analyzed. All animals survived, with a minor fall in he

Biomolecular solutions and amphiphilic liquid crystals are studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Dispersion (NMRD) and Pulsed-Gradient Spin Echo (PGSE) respectively. A random-flight simulation is performed to obtain the obstructing factors for self-diffusion of small molecules in macrofluids. The accuracy of existing mean-field approximations for the obstruction factors is analyzed. The orientatio

Popular Abstract in Swedish 75% av alla kemiska reaktioner sker på en yta av något slag. En av anledningarna till detta är att många ytor har en katalytisk effekt. Inom kemins värld är en katalysator något som påskyndar en kemisk reaktion utan att själv förbrukas, och ett tydligt exempel på en katalytiskt aktiv yta är en bilkatalysator, vilken i princip består av en varm metallyta. På denna yta omThis work deals with interpretation of experimental surface spectroscopic data with the aid of first-principle calculations. Surface infrared reflection-absorption spectra as well as spectra from the electron spectroscopic methods photoemission and X-ray absorption are considered. In all cases the surface is modeled by a metal cluster with the same (frozen) geometry as part of the surface. The wo

Popular Abstract in English Peter is a part-time cocoa farmer who produces cocoa beans that are used for chocolate production. However, he has always wondered about the efficient utilisation of the residual cocoa pods, which seem to contain sugar as they attract bees. He discussed this with a student studying a biological process whereby organic material can be converted to biogas and a residue thThe replacement of fossil fuels by renewable fuels such as biogas and biohydrogen will require efficient and economically competitive process technologies together with new kinds of biomass. A two-stage system for biogas production has several advantages over the widely used one-stage continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). However, it has not yet been widely implemented on a large scale. Biohydro

This article proposes nonparametric inference procedures for analyzing microarray gene expression data that are reliable, robust, and simple to implement. They are conceptually transparent and require no special-purpose software. The analysis begins by normalizing gene expression data in a unique way. The resulting adjusted observations consist of gene-treatment interaction terms ( representing di

Monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDG), digalactosyldiacylglycerols (DGDG) and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerols (SQDG) are major lipids in vegetable food. Their digestion and absorption are unknown. This study examines the hydrolysis of galactolipids in vitro with human duodenal contents, pancreatic juice, and purified human pancreatic lipases. Galactolipids were incubated with human duodenal contents

When an excess of human cystatin C or chicken cystatin was mixed with papain, an enzyme-inhibitor complex was formed immediately. The residual free cystatin was then progressively converted to a form with different electrophoretic mobility and chromatographic properties. The modified cystatins were isolated and sequenced, showing that there had been cleavage of a single peptide bond in each molecu
