Denna berättelse om Synergi mellan Strål- och Immun-Terapi har sitt ursprung i resultaten av försök som utfördes år 2001 vilka avsåg att kombinera tumörvaccin-behandling med strålterapi av Fischer-344 råttor med gliom-tumörer inokulerade i hjärnan.Med 3 omgångar tumörvaccin kombinerat med endast en fraktion strålterapi á 5Gy, överlevde sex av åtta behandlade djur (ca.75%). Detta dramatiska re

Adaptive haptics, an amalgamation of different haptic systems and machine learning algorithms, has the potential for intelligent feedback in healthcare. Such systems are capable of learning to suit individual user needs in real-time, thereby improving patient care, medical education, and treatment. Targeted techniques of machine learning approaches are reinforcement learning, neural networks, supp

Background: Bioresorbable scaffolds have been associated with inferior outcomes compared to contemporary permanent metallic drug-eluting stents (DES) for percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly within the initial years after implantation; however, their long-term performance remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of Swedish patients treated with Absorb bior

Purpose: This paper aims to comprehensively clarify the research status of thermal transport of supercritical aviation kerosene, with particular interests in the effect of cracking on heat transfer. Design/methodology/approach: A brief review of current research on supercritical aviation kerosene is presented in views of the surrogate model of hydrocarbon fuels, chemical cracking mechanism of hydr

Introduction: Housing shortage due to population growth within metropolitan areas, combined with an ageing population, has put pressure on current housing provision in Sweden. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable housing policies to accommodate the growing number of seniors in accessible home environments. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of how municipalities cur

Global value chains (‘GVCs’) have become a basic operative unit of economic production. Their development over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has resulted in immense creation of wealth while linking together individuals, companies and economies across the world. But GVCs are also a major cause for environmental degradation, carbon emissions and human rights abuses—the ‘externalities’ of

The Andean lakes of northern Chile and southern Bolivia are characterized by their high salinity due to arid climate and high evaporation. These lakes are poorly studied due to access difficulties. The aim of this study is to characterize two shallow saline lakes in northern Chile (Salar de Atacama, 23°S, Chile) and South Lipez of Bolivia (Khalina lake, 22.61°S) using satellite images (Landsat 8).

This study investigated the impact of a national palliative care policy introduced in 2013. The hypothesis was that end‑of‑life and palliative care policy shape healthcare services, which in turn influence service utilisation and ultimately place of death for people dying from cancer. The aim was to identify longitudinal trends in place of death for people with cancer in Sweden. A population‑level

Music and Performing Arts is one of the fields Georgia can pride itself on internationally. While the country is in transition as it officially embarks on its long path to the European Union membership, this study explores the process of Europeanization of Higher Music Education in Georgia. Authors analyze how Higher Music Educational Institutions employ European projects for organizational change

The European XFEL is a research facility that delivers extremely bright and short coherent X-ray pulses of tunable energy at MHz repetition rate, providing unprecedented capabilities to conduct scientific research across multiple domains. Among the suite of deployed detectors, several ePix100 modules, belonging to the family of ePix detectors developed at SLAC, are used. These charge-integrating h

The element silicon is everywhere! In fact, silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust. Silicon in rocks and minerals breaks down and is transported from rivers and streams into the world’s oceans. Many marine organisms need silicon as it is a crucial nutrient to build their skeletons. Silicon eventually reaches the seafloor, but its journey into the abyss is not straightforward

Introduction: A blood-based biomarker (BBBM) test could help to better stratify patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), reduce unnecessary imaging, to detect and treat secondary insults, predict outcomes, and monitor treatment effects and quality of care. Research question: What evidence is available for clinical applications of BBBMs in TBI and how to advance this field? Material and methods:
