Purpose: To determine whether early assessment of cerebral white matter degradation can predict late delayed cognitive decline after radiotherapy (RT). Methods and Materials: Ten patients undergoing conformal fractionated brain RT participated in a prospective diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging study. Magnetic resonance imaging studies were acquired before RT, at 3 and 6 weeks during RT,

A time-related deterioration in male reproductive function caused by exposure to endocrine disrupters, including persistent organochlorines (POCs), has been hypothesized. In animal studies, POCs were found to have adverse effects on male reproductive function. However, little is known about the impact of POC exposure on reproductive parameters in men. In a study of 305 young Swedish men 18-21 year

The conceptual shift in the expectations of the wireless users from voice towards multimedia, from availability towards acceptable quality, and from stand-alone towards group-oriented computing has a significant impact on today's networks in terms of the need for mobility, quality of service (QoS) and multicasting. Ad hoc networks, being independent of any fixed infrastructure, can provide mobile

Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people and ranks among the most common neurological diseases worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, one-third of patients still suffer from refractory epilepsy. Wearable devices for real-time patient monitoring can potentially improve the quality of life for such patients and reduce the mortality rate due to seizure-related accidents and sudden death in epi

Sample mislabeling or misannotation has been a long-standing problem in scientific research, particularly prevalent in large-scale, multi-omic studies due to the complexity of multi-omic workflows. There exists an urgent need for implementing quality controls to automatically screen for and correct sample mislabels or misannotations in multi-omic studies. Here, we describe a crowdsourced precision

Applied Machine Learning in Steel Industry – Examination of possible applications of machine learning for SSAB Oxelösund In modern industry there are high demands for increased resource efficiency that in part are motivated by the stronger competition on the global market, as well as by the societal necessity for a more sustainable industry. This master thesis project examines applied machine lear

Byggnationen av bostadshus med trästomme har enligt Statistiska centralbyrån ökat med 85% efter den senast lägsta uppmätningen 2011. Statistiska centralbyrån menar också att det är bostadshus bestående av 4-8 våningar som byggs mest i Sverige idag. Av denna statistik förutspås det bli en ökning av efterfrågan på bostadshus med 4-8 våningar med trästomme inom den närmsta framtiden. Tillsammans meThe construction of residential buildings with timber as load-bearing system has according to Statistics Sweden increased with 85% since 2011, which is the latest low point of the collected data. Statistics Sweden also shows how residential buildings consisting of 4-8 storeys are, in Sweden, the most built type of house today. Of these statistics, 4-8- storey residential buildings made with timber

Bakgrund Truppgymnastik är en relativt ny och populär sport som ursprungligen kommer från Skandinavien. Sporten är indelad i tre delar; tumbling, trampett och fristående. Det är avancerade rutiner och kroppen utsätts för stora krafter vilket kan leda till ökad skaderisk. Vilken typ av skador som är vanligast, skadeincidensen och i vilka moment som skadorna uppkommer inom truppgymnastik är ett rela

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between authenticity and symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and life satisfaction in the context of the theoretically related constructs of adult romantic attachment, reflective functioning and insight in a convenience sample of Swedish adults. One hundred and ninety-one participants were recru

Bakgrund: Höga ljudnivåer och bullerskador är ett vanligt problem på arbetsplatser. Många väljer att inte använda hörselskydd då de upplevs försvåra kommunikation. En metod som med ett enkelt mått kan utvärdera hörselskydds påverkan av taluppfattning vore värdefullt. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka möjligheten att med metoden Speech intelligibility impact Level (SiimpL) mäta skillnad m

Det relativt nya fenomenet reality-serier blir allt populärare och upptar en stor del av dagens tv-tablå. Fenomenet tillsammans med övrig massmedia har större inflytande och påverkan på samhället och oss människor än någonsin tidigare. Man diskuterar alkoholens roll i samhället, dess konsekvenser för relationer, hälsa o.s.v. Sedan TV kom har även alkoholens representation i TV kommit att bli en he

Upptäcka gener inblandade i diabetes I många sjukdomar, så som diabetes, spelar människans gener en viktig roll i vem som insjuknar och hur utvecklingen sker. Därför är det viktigt att, i den mån det går, identifiera dessa gener så vid insjuknande, ge varje patient en mer specialiserad vård som kan bromsa sjukdomsförloppet. Diabetes är en metabolisk sjukdom där kroppen inte kan reglera glukoshaAbstract Aims/hypothesis Diabetes, a metabolic disease rapidly increasing worldwide, is triggered by both genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal studies, such as the Malmö Prospective Project (MPP), give a unique opportunity to study life-long risk of developing a disease. In MPP, more than 2,000 individuals developed diabetes during a mean 25-year follow-up time. However, patients with

As part of the REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes Phase 2 (RECCAP2) project, we developed a comprehensive African Greenhouse gases (GHG) budget covering 2000 to 2019 (RECCAP1 and RECCAP2 time periods), and assessed uncertainties and trends over time. We compared bottom-up process-based models, data-driven remotely sensed products, and national GHG inventories with top-down atmospheric

Patients and Interventions. Tissue damage caused by brain retraction was evaluated utilizing intracerebral microdialysis in six patients operated on subfrontally for pituitary adenoma. The microdialysis probes (membrane length 10 mm, cut-off 20 kDalton) were placed in cerebral cortex beneath the brain retractor and perfused with Ringer solution at 0.3 mul/min. The microdialysis vials were changed

Background: Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) indicate an increased risk of stroke, one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In order to prevent stroke, our knowledge of diagnosis, demographics, risk factors, investigations, and treatment of patients with TIA needs to be improved.Aims: The aims of this thesis were to validate data and diagnoses in the Riksstroke TIA module (Riks
