The structural study of glycans and glycoconjugates is essential to assign their roles in homeostasis, health, and disease. Once dominated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometric methods have become the preferred toolbox for the determination of glycan structures at high sensitivity. The patterns of such structures in different cellular states now allow us to interpret the s

Limited data are available on the possible changes in cancer risk brought about by widowhood and divorce, an increasing segment of the population. We calculated standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for cancer among 47,000 widows/widowers and 60,000 divorced people, based on the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. Persons had to be identified with the same civil status in the census of years 1960 and 1

Gas turbine systems are predominantly designed to be fuelled with gaseous fuels within a limited Wobbe index range (typically HHV=45-55 MJ/Nm3 or 1200-1480 Btu/scf). When low calorific fuel gases are fired, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. The added mass flow will typically raise the cycle pressure ratio and in two-shaft designs also raise the gas generator shaft s

For older people using long-term care services, the conditions of their life-space may be critical. The relationships between the physical housing environment and aspects of health were examined among older people in Japan (aged 65+ years, N = 1,928) by multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics. Lack of safety, low access to emergency assistance, lo

Monoclonal antibodies targeting CD20 are central in the treatment of B-cell lymphomas. In diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), inactivating mutations of the histone acetyltransferases CREB-binding protein (CBP) and EP300 are common. Moreover, knockdown of CBP in DLBCL has been shown to result in aberrant transcriptional silencing. Expression of CD20 is sensitive to epigenetic manipulation, and h

To identify homeless people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who were at highest risk for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), we studied 982 homeless and 15,674 domiciled people with CKD receiving public health care. We developed four risk prediction models for the primary outcome of ESRD. Overall, 71 homeless and 888 domiciled people progressed to ESRD during follow-up (median: 6.6 years). Homeless

Background:Continuous flow peritoneal dialysis (CFPD) is performed using a continuous flux of dialysis fluid via double or dual-lumen PD catheters, allowing a higher dialysate flow rate (DFR) than conventional treatments. While small clinical studies have revealed greatly improved clearances using CFPD, the inability to predict ultrafiltration (UF) may confer a risk of potentially harmful overfill

Background: The purpose of this paper is to explore the underlying challenges in the telehealth environment in India and Pakistan that impede the delivery of high-quality images between a patient and health care professional.Method: An exploratory study was conducted among healthcare professionals in India and Pakistan to assess their perceptions regarding image quality, which is used for the diag

It has recently been argued that in normal decision circumstances no systematic decision method that predicts the likelihood that individuals possess some property can be fair. Either (i) the decision method correctly identifies the relevant property (e.g. recidivism) more often in one subgroup (e.g. black defendants) than another (e.g. white defendants); or (ii) the decision method systematically

Background: Persistent breathlessness is debilitating and increases in prevalence with advanced age and at end of life. This study aimed to evaluate any relationship between self-reported global impressions of change (GIC) in perceived health and breathlessness in older men.Design: Cross-sectional study of 73-year-old Swedish men in the VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study. A postal

Phasor measurement signals are used as only input to a wide-area power system stabilizer to increase interarea mode damping of the Icelandic system. Modal analysis and time simulations of a detailed model show that frequency difference as PSS input gives a damping improvement that is robust to drastic changes in system topology. Field data from phasor measurement units indicate high signal quality

1 Exercise in Remote Sensing, Geomorphology, Ecology and Development Geography based on Google Earth Ulrik Mårtensson VT2013 1. Aims and objectives The World Bank and UN introduced the concept of State of the Environment Report (SOER) on their agendas about 30 years ago. The SOER is produced by national governments and includes descriptions of the current situation, issues and plans for future dev

Bakgrund: God kommunikativ och empatisk förmåga hos läkare skapar trygghet och upplevs som professionellt av patienter och närstående. Forskning visar att empati förbättrar patienters följsamhet, nöjdhet och relationen mellan läkare och patient, vilket i sin tur leder till högre vårdkvalitet, bättre behandlingsresultat och minskade vårdkostnader. Ett empatiskt förhållningssätt främjar både fysisk

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
