IMPORTANCE: Recent studies suggest standard reference intervals for serum free light chains (FLC) are inaccurate and that this problem can only be partially remedied by using separate reference intervals for individuals with impaired kidney function. This decreases the utility of FLC testing in the clinical evaluation and follow-up of plasma cell disorders, particularly affecting the diagnosis of
BACKGROUND: Reproductive factors have been shown to be differentially associated with risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and ER-negative breast cancer. However, their associations with intrinsic-like subtypes are less clear.METHODS: Analyses included up to 23 353 cases and 71 072 controls pooled from 31 population-based case-control or cohort studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortiu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Helicobacter pylori är en spiralformad Gramnegativ human-specifik patogen, som kan penetrera magsäckens slemlager och kolonisera epitelskiktet. H. pylori infektion är en högriskfaktor för utvecklandet av kronisk gastrit, magsår och ventrikelcancer. Både aktivt växande spiralformer av H. pylori och dess runda viloformer framkallar kronisk magkatarr (gastrit) i BALB/cA möHelicobacter pylori is a human pathogen strongly associated with chronic type B gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma. Our aims were to establish a mouse model of H. pylori infection, to study pathogenesis of gastritis and gastric cancer and to investigate new treatment strategies in this model. Both spiral and coccoid forms of H. pylori strains 17874, 25 and 553/93 cau
The purpose of this study was to evaluate 10 process-based terrestrial biosphere models that were used for the IPCC fifth Assessment Report. The simulated gross primary productivity (GPP) is compared with flux-tower-based estimates by Jung etal. [Journal of Geophysical Research 116 (2011) G00J07] (JU11). The net primary productivity (NPP) apparent sensitivity to climate variability and atmospheric
Contributions of changes in soil moisture to the projected climate change in the tropics at the end of the twenty first century are quantified using the simulations from five different global climate models, which contributed to the GLACE–CMIP5 experiment. “GLACE” refers to the Global Land Atmosphere Coupling Experiment and “CMIP5” to the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.

Popular Abstract in SwedishDenna doktorsavhandling har studerat förskolebarns kamratkompetens och speciellt uppmärksammat tre aspekter som är av central betydelse för barns samspel med kamrater; prosocialt beteende, aggressivt beteende och social kognition. Prosocialt beteende är handlingar som på något sätt gynnar en annan person (t ex hjälpa, trösta och dela med sig). Trots att prosocialt beteenThis doctoral thesis explored three broad aspects of preschoolers’ social competence: prosocial behavior, aggression, and social cognition. The longitudinal study followed forty-four children (initially 22-40 months), who were observed in natural peer interactions at their daycare centers during a two-month period in each of three con-secutive years. In addition, social-cognitive data were gathere
Popular Abstract in Swedish Svår alfa-1antitrypsinbrist (AAT-brist), s.k. PiZZ, är ett ärftligt tillstånd som har en hög förekomst i Sverige, cirka 1/1600. Bristen innebär ökad risk för utveckling av kroniskt obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL), speciellt hos rökare. Leversjukdom är också relativt vanlig och kan förekomma såväl i barndomen som i hög ålder. Levercirros (skrumplever) och levercancer är öveSevere alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic disorder associated with increases risk of developing of chronic obstructive lung disease and liver disease. The Swedish National Registry for individuals with severe AATD was started 1991.Up to October 2008, a total of 1349 individuals were included in the registry. The aims of the studies in this thesis which bases on AATD registry are to
Principen om barnets bästa framhålls i både svensk nationell rätt och i internationella konventioner. Barnets bästa ska vara vägledande i alla beslut som rör barnet, så som barnets boende, umgänge och vårdnad. Vad som är barnets bästa är inte lagstadgat, rangordnat eller uttömt i varken svensk nationell rätt eller i internationell rätt utan barnets bästa anses skilja sig beroende på tid och plats,The principle of “the best interests of the child” is emphasized in both Swedish national law and international conventions, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the European Convention on Human Rights. The principle shall to be used as guidance in all decisions relating to a child and can involve determination regarding the child's residence, visitation regulation or cu
Free movement of goods is regulated by Article 28 of The EC Treaty. The most important judgments of European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this field are Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. The interpretation of Article 28 was very broad in Dassonville and Cassis cases therefore the national rules which were designed for social policy reasons, but not for controlling the trade between Member States

Importance: Disrupted sleep commonly occurs with progressing neurodegenerative disease. Large, well-characterized neuroimaging studies of cognitively unimpaired adults are warranted to clarify the magnitude and onset of the association between sleep and emerging β-amyloid (Aβ) pathology. Objective: To evaluate the associations between daytime and nighttime sleep duration with regional Aβ pathology
STUDY QUESTION Does an intensive weight reduction programme prior to IVF increase live birth rates for infertile obese women? SUMMARY ANSWER An intensive weight reduction programme resulted in a large weight loss but did not substantially affect live birth rates in obese women scheduled for IVF. WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN Among obese women, fertility and obstetric outcomes are influenced negatively wit
Importance Limited information exists about the epidemiology, recognition, management, and outcomes of patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Objectives To evaluate intensive care unit (ICU) incidence and outcome of ARDS and to assess clinician recognition, ventilation management, and use of adjuncts—for example prone positioning—in routine clinical practice for patients fu
Background: One of the challenges of the 21st century is the high turnover rate in the nursing profession due to burnout and mental illness. From a biopsychosocial perspective, an individual's personality is an important vulnerability-resilience factor that comprises four temperament traits (i.e., a person's emotional reactions) and three character traits (i.e., self-regulation systems). Indeed, d
Background: The African continent hosts many industrial mining projects, and many more are planned due to recent prospecting discoveries and increasing demand for various minerals to promote a low-carbon future. The extraction of natural resources in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) represents an opportunity for economic development but also poses a threat to population health through rapid urbanisation a
Dopamine and serotonin are two major monoamine neurotransmitters associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), but their spatial distribution and relationship to underlying functional brain architecture are not fully understood. We assessed 30 patients with PD at baseline using structural MRI, resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), 11C-PE2I and 11C-DASB PET, along with comprehensive clinical evaluati
Humanitarian crises require a quick and effective emergency response to answer the needs of vulnerable populations. Deploying mobile health clinics in the field is an example of an outreach activity that can be undertaken for this purpose. This study is based on a real mission implemented by a medical international aid organization (MSF or Médecins Sans Frontières) in Cameroon during the recent Ce
