A classic in the field of Medical Humanities, the late Philip Sandblom's study of art and ill health first appeared in English in 1982. This is a new, extended version, based on the definitive Swedish edition of 2022.In riveting analyses of the interplay between illness and art, music, and literature, Creativity and illness shows how various diseases and disabilities have affected the works of famA pioneering work in the field of Medical Humanities, first published as Creativity and disease in 1982, Creativity and illness now appears in a fresh, extended version based on the definitive Swedish edition published in 2022. A renowned surgeon, Philip Sandblom was also a connoisseur of the fine arts, and throughout his life he was fascinated by the interplay between art and health. Having start

Background: Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a bone dominant lethal disease. Progression in bone scan of mCRPC disease is assessed with the Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) two and three criteria, which relies on the appearance of two or more new lesions. There is an unmet need for a quantitative assessment that can build on the current progression criteria. This thes

A novel polymeric material, off-stoichiometry thiol-ene-epoxy (OSTE+), has been evaluated for the fabrication of neural implants. OSTE+ is easily photo-structurable and exhibits mechanical properties suitable for stable implantation of the probe into brain tissue, while being sufficiently soft at physiological temperatures to reduce living tissue damage. The facile processing of OSTE+ allows use i

Aim: Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1D) has numerous complications including autonomic neuropathy, i.e. dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system. This study focuses on Heat Shock Protein 27 (HSP27), Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF), Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and HbA1c and their possible roles in effects of diabetes on the autonomic nervous system.Methods: Patients with Aim Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1D) has numerous complications including autonomic neuropathy, i.e. dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of hospital admissions due to unexplained syncope and orthostatic hypotension (OH) with subsequent cardiovascular events and mortality.METHODS: We analysed a population-based prospective cohort of 30 528 middle-aged individuals (age 58±8 years; males, 40%). Adjusted Cox regression models were applied to assess the impact of unexplained syncope/OH hospital

A central concept raised by the climate justice movement is climate debt. Here, the claims and warrants of the movement support for climate debt is identified through an argumentation analysis of their central manifestos.

This contribution discusses relations between the Swedish SAC and the legislature (Riksdag), focusing on how Sweden balances popular sovereignty with judicial independence. The analysis focuses on the legislature's influence on the SAC and – on the other hand – the SAC and its judges’ impact on the legislature, especially the constitutional control of draft legislation carried out by the Council oThis contribution discusses relations between the Swedish SAC and the legislature (Riksdag), focusing on how Sweden balances popular sovereignty with judicial independence.

It has been argued that the study of child L2 development can inform different maturational accounts of language acquisition. One such specific proposal was put forward by Meisel (2008) arguing for a cut-off point for (2)L1 type of development at 3-4 years. The paper analyses the longitudinal development of object clitics in child L2 French (L1 Swedish) and compares the developmental sequence in c

We report extensive relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations of oscillator strengths and hyperfine structures for a large number of electric dipole transitions in In II. Results for the 5s(21)S(0)-5s5p P-3(0)o hyperfine induced transition are also presented. Core polarization is accounted for by means of explicit CI. To describe spin-polarization effects configuration state

A theoretical model has been developed that describes ultrafiltration of nonionic surfactants. The model takes into account the fact that surfactants start to aggregate and form micelles at the critical micelle concentration, The model can be used to predict the performance of the membrane if the transport properties inside and at the membrane surface as well as the surfactant association behavior

We study the operation of a gated resonant tunnel diode placed in an oscillator tank circuit for application as a pulse generator. The gated diode is realized by a metal gate placed 30nm away from a resonant tunnelling double barrier heterostructure, where the gate is used to control the current of the tunnelling diode. A large signal model is developed for the gated resonant tunnelling diode and

We present a systematic comparison of four resins for nanoimprint intermediate polymer stamps, the standard IPS material, OrmoStamp and two new polymers GMN-PS90 (foil) and GMN-PS40 (liquid). The new polymers are based on acrylated silane and offer sufficiently high Young’s modulus and low shrinkage to provide good me­ chanical stability during the imprint process of well-separated structures.
