Aim: To compare the adherence to gluten-free diet between children with serology-based and biopsy-proven coeliac disease. Methods: Medical records were retrospectively reviewed in 257 Swedish children diagnosed with coeliac disease between 2012 and 2019 at a tertiary hospital. Adherence to a gluten-free diet was systematically assessed by trained dietitians at follow-up. Mixed models were used to

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Sen den industriella revolutionen har koldioxidhalten i atmosfären nästan fördubblats, från 280 ppm till 360 ppm. Detta har skapat stora diskussioner om hur vårt klimat kommer att påverkas. Koldioxid (CO2) är en växthusgas och med detta menas att den absorberar inkommande energi och på så sätt värmer upp vår jord. I denna studie har fokusen lagts på hur vegetatiIncreasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere may substantially increase net primary productivity (NPP) and thereby increase carbon sequestration by terrestrial ecosystems. Realistic Free Air Carbon Enrichment (FACE) experiments tend to show a NPP enhancement of about 25% if CO2 is elevated by 200 ppm. In this study two generalized vegetation models, the Lund-Postsdam-Jena dynamic generalized vegetat

BACKGROUND: In preterm infants, low levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) are associated with impaired brain growth and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Treatment with IGF-I/IGFBP-3 may be beneficial for brain development and may decrease the prevalence of ROP. METHODS: In a phase II pharmacokinetics and safety study, five infants (three girls) with a

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a green alternative method of extraction for neutral lipids in seeds compared to conventional methods utilizing organic solvents. In this work, a novel method where SFE is hyphenated with an evaporative light scattering detector is presented. The method was subsequently applied to determine lipid content in crushed linseed. The new method enables rapid quant

Objectives: To evaluate the use of cellular and cordless telephones as the risk factor For non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Methods: Male and female subjects aged 18-74 years living in Sweden were Included during a period from I December 1999 to 30 April 2002. Controls were selected from the national population registry. Exposure to different agents was assessed by questionnalre. Results: In total, 9

OBJECTIVES: The pattern of reflux in the most distal esophagus of asymptomatic individuals is largely unknown. Using a wireless technique we compared the degree and the pattern of acid reflux just above the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) with that measured at the conventional level for pH monitoring. METHODS: Fifty-three asymptomatic volunteers underwent endoscopy with transoral placement of two pH

Popular Abstract in English The sesquiterpene lactones is an important group of natural products, and they are present in many medicinal plants. Their most important biological activities are anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity, although for many decades their potential use as drugs was dismissed. The main reason for this was their alkylating capacity, reacting with thiol functions in proteDamsin (1) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone (SL) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens Mill., a plant used in the Andes as antiinflammatory medicine. This natural product is an inhibitor of NF- κB, a protein complex that controls the transcription of many genes in mammalian cells, and has a potential for standing model for the development of new anti-cancer lead structures. In order to improve the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Växter får energi att växa till och fortplanta sig genom fotosyntes och cellandning. Vid fotosyntesen använder växterna ljusenergin från solen medan vid cellandningen kolföreningar bryts ner för att frigöra den energi som behövs till olika kemiska processerna i cellen. Enzymer är proteiner som katalyserar dessa kemiska processer. För att omvandla ett utgångsämne (t ex sMost cells are crowded with solutes, enzymes, nucleic acids, structural proteins and membranes. Crowding promotes macromolecular interactions and determines major properties of the cellular environment such as viscosity, diffusion and inhomogeneity. Macromolecular interactions that involve enzymes can affect the kinetic and regulatory properties of these, hence the interactions are part of the met

In addition to its well-known hematopoietic effects, erythropoietin (EPO) also has neuroprotective properties. However, hematopoietic side effects are unwanted for neuroprotection, underlining the need for EPO-like compounds with selective neuroprotective actions. One such compound, devoid of hematopoietic bioactivity, is the chemically modified, EPO-derivative carbamylerythropoietin (CEPO). For c

Avgassystem i Saab Navals ubåtar har under lång tid haft en liknande design. Nya avgassystem följer samma designfilosofi som föregående ubåtar, vilket har resulterat i en låg nivå av teknisk utveckling. Detta har väckt ett intresse inom företaget att undersöka om en mer signifikant designförändring skulle kunna introduceras för framtida ubåtsklasser. Designförändringen som har utvärderats i dettaThe exhaust systems of Saab Naval’s submarines have long maintained a similar design. New exhaust systems have utilised the design philosophy of preceding submarines, resulting in a low level of technical evolution. This has sparked interest within the company to examine whether a more significant design change could be introduced for future submarine classes. The design change evaluated in this

Objective: To examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and osteoarthritis (OA) leading to total hip (THR) or knee (TKR) joint replacement. Methods: Case-control study design. All patients still living in Iceland who had had a THR or TKR resulting from OA before the end of 2002 were invited to participate. First-degree relatives of participating patients served as controls. A total of

BACKGROUND:: There is a large interindividual variability in thiopurine metabolism. High concentrations of methylthioinosine-5'-monophosphate (meTIMP) and low concentrations of 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGNs) have been associated with a lower response rate and an increased risk of adverse events. In this study, the role of inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) for differences in metabo

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The etiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is poorly understood. Reduced lung function, expressed as low forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) and low forced vital capacity (FVC), is a predictor of cardiovascular disease, but whether reduced lung function is a risk factor for SAH is not known. The association between lung function and incidence of SAH was invest

The bacterial surfaces of enterococci are not uniform. This fact is confirmed by several studies and by our results when great differences between individual strains with regard to their cell surface hydrophobicity, binding of eight ECM (extracellular matrix) molecules immobilized on latex beads and four selected ECM molecules in microtiter plates were observed. The strains expressing high binding

Objectives: Evaluate if socioecological and biological factors, at the age of 8 years, are associated with lower level of physical activity (PA) 2 years later. Method: In a study cohort of 199 children aged 7.8±0.6 years, we used questionnaires and physical measurements to evaluate biological (eg, sex), social (eg, parental PA) and environmental (eg, school settings) factors. Objective PA was meas
