Data concerning the persistent reduction of flow velocities measured by transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) in relation to the clinical and radiological outcome among patients with ischemic events in middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory is scarce. Patients with > or = 50% reduction of peak systolic velocities (PSV-MCA) as compared to the contralateral MCA were prospectively included in fo
This article studies continued childbearing and union stability among "power couples," or dual-career couples. The determinants of these events are analysed multivariately using longitudinal data on couples from population registers in Sweden, 1991–2005. Power couples are identified using their levels and fields of education, and their sectors of employment. Income and other variables are controll
Background and purpose — First-line treatment (education, exercise) for patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) aims to reduce pain and improve function. We aimed to compare progression to joint replacement within 5 years between responders and non-responders to first-line treatment for hip and knee OA, respectively. Methods — This observational study included data for 30,524 knee OA and 13
This report contributes to the research project FIRE21 (Fire and Rescue Services in the 21st Century) and is part of a work package looking into key individual qualities for efficient collective problem-solving in a fire and rescue service (FRS) context.
There is emerging literature emphasizing the role of inflammatory eicosanoids, including prostaglandins and leukotrienes, in cancer development. Increased expression of both the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLTR1) and the enzyme responsible for the production of leukotrienes, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), is associated with poor prognosis in patients with colorectal adenocarcinomas. Apc mutation
In higher plants, genes for subunits of respiratory chain complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) have so far been identified solely in organellar genomes. At least nine subunits are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA and 11 homologues by the plastid DNA. One of the 'key' components of complex I is the subunit binding the substrate NADH. The corresponding gene for the mitochondrial subunit has no
Based on a commission by one of the Swedish Research Council, which has high ambitions to strengthen the collaboration between academia and society, this study aimed to reveal how researchers describe the collaboration with partners outside the university in research proposals. Globally, collaboration is advocated to bridge research-practice gaps and address complex societal challenges. This study
In 2017, the Danish parliament discussed prayer rooms at educational institutions in a broadly publicised controversy. The debate followed a series of issues arising from such institutions’ changing demography, resulting in increased Muslim presence. Beneath the public and parliamentary debate in 2017, civil servants in ministries and educational institutions became highly engaged in negotiating w
BACKGROUND: Lead exposure has been associated with increased incidence of adverse clinical cardiovascular outcomes. Atherosclerosis has been suggested as one of the underlying mechanisms, and findings from experimental studies support this, but human data are scarce. OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to determine the association between environmental lead exposure based on blood lead (B-Pb) concentrat
This paper explores the history of wind power technologies and the integration of wind energy in the Danish energy system. It does so focusing particularly on historical events, socio-cultural and socio-political changes and priorities that were important on this technological journey. From the first primitive wind turbines in the late 1800s, to the world wars, through the energy- crisis in the 70
Objectives Critical care is essential in saving lives of critically ill patients, however, provision of critical care across lower resource settings can be costly, fragmented and heterogenous. Despite the urgent need to scale up the provision of critical care, little is known about its availability and cost. Here, we aim to systematically review and identify reported resource use, availability and
Viljan att skydda växter och djur får ibland orimliga effekter. Det skriver flera företrädare för Moderaternas arbetsgrupp för en kommande miljöpolitik på DN debatt.Farlig polariseringDe tar bland annat upp viktiga frågor om ”människans plats i naturen”. Men konflikten mellan utveckling och miljö är en återkommande missuppfattning. Frågan om naturvården främst bör utgå från människans eller nature
Background: Research suggests that incident dementia is decreasing, yet researchon secular trends of prodromal dementia such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) islacking.Methods: To determine change ofMCI prevalence over time and potential explanatoryfactors, four baseline samples (years 2001–2020) of Swedish participants (n = 3910)aged 60 and 81 at examination were compared.Results: An overall dr
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated changes in European healthcare systems, with a significant proportion of COVID-19 cases being managed on an outpatient basis in primary healthcare (PHC). To alleviate the burden on healthcare facilities, many European countries developed contact-tracing apps and symptom checkers to identify potential cases. As the pandemic evolved, the European Un
Introduction: Ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water is crucial, especially in flood-prone regions where the water quality in dug wells can deteriorate due to various physicochemical factors. This research was aimed to measure the effectiveness of natural materials in improving water quality based on physicochemical parameters and to compare water quality before and after treatment in As
Purpose: Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous Y27632 (a ROK inhibitor) on intra-ureteral pressures and on blood pressure in an in vivo rat model for unilateral partial ureteral obstruction (PUO). Methods: 15 Male Sprague Dawley rats were used. Under isofluran anesthesia, saline was continuously infused via polyethylene (PE)-10 catheters inserted in the ureters beneath the ki
