Simulating temporal changes in breast tissue has been challenging, despite advancement in virtual clinical trials. This study aims to enable virtual trials over time, motivated by interest in the effect of tissue involution on tumor visibility. We present a framework for creating 3D voxel-based breast phantoms and lesions using in-house Perlin Noise-based algorithm. The framework consists of three

Aims: The objective of this study was to compare the risk of developing type 1 diabetes in individuals with celiac disease, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism to that of individuals without those conditions. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective, observational, matched-cohort study based on real-world claims data, individuals with at least one diagnosis of celiac disease, hyperthyroidism (e

En förflyttning av bilresor till cykeltrafik har många fördelar, t.ex.förbättrad folkhälsa genom ökad fysisk aktivitet och minskadeföroreningar och trängsel. En slät yta med adekvat friktion är viktigt förcyklisternas trafiksäkerhet, komfort och framkomlighet. Sprickor ochojämnheter är vanligt förekommande underhållsrelaterade brister som ärkopplade till cykelvägens nedbrytning. Ett syfte med den A shift in modal share from car driving to cycling has many benefits, e.g.,health benefits from increased physical activity and less pollution andcongestion. A smooth cycle path surface with sufficient friction isimportant for cyclist traffic safety, comfort and level of service. Cracks andsurface unevenness are frequent maintenance-related deficienciesassociated with the degradation of the struct

Mobile, near-source measurements are broadly used for determining δ13CH4 of individual methane (CH4) emissions sources. To answer the need for robust and comparable measurement methods, we aim to define the best practices to determine isotopic signatures of CH4 sources from atmospheric measurements, considering instrument accuracy and precision. Using the Keeling and Miller-Tans methods, we verify

Aims: Privileged access interviewing (PAI) has traditionally been used to reach illicit drug users and other ‘hidden’ populations. How PAI data compare to other self-reported data have seldom been discussed. We compare data from patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST), gathered through PAI and researcher interviews, respectively, to investigate whether PAIs and researchers are reaching com

Background and Aims: Perineal wound complications occur frequently after proctectomy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with persistent perineal wounds appearing in some patients. This study examines the surgical outcomes after proctectomy in patients with IBD in a contemporary setting, with primary perineal wound healing as the primary end-point. Methods: This is a multicentre ret

Coffee is epidemiologically linked to health benefits and risks. Coffee is thought to be a diuretic. However, it can still contribute to daily fluid intake. Vasopressin is the most important physiological regulator of body fluid balance and diuresis. This study aimed to map the effects of coffee intake on vasopressin concentration. In the population-based cross-sectional Malmö Offspring Study (n =

INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological evidence suggests the association of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) at baseline with the risk of heart failure (HF), however, the associations between transitions of PRISm and incident HF remain to be clarified. Furthermore, the causal relationship and underlying biological mechanisms linking PRISm and HF are unclear.OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to invest

Abstract Author: Madelene Öhlin Title: Meeting across borders – a study of the social worker’s reception of clients with borderline. [translated title] Supervisor: Kristina Göransson Assessor: Eva-Malin Antoniusson Borderline personality disorder is a diagnosis that it has been researched a lot about, but there is very little research for what a good reception to these clients’ means. People with

Abstract Increasing the share of renewable energy for covering our energy demand is central to the energy policy of the European Union. Despite the acknowledged importance, renewable energy has not yet reached the favoured wide-spread utilisation throughout Europe. Wood pellets, cylindrical sticks of 10 to 30 mm length mainly made from wood processing residues, are a renewable, cost-competitive, l

The first aim of this study was to on historical background survey women's alcohol habits and especially to investigate women aged 50-59 living in the Lund area. The second aim was to increase the understanding of how women's sex role has a restrictive influence on their alcohol habits. To investigate women's alcohol habits I made two quantitative studies. From secondary data I found t
