The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, its reciprocal (1/HOMA-IR), quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) and McAuley's index in hypertensive diabetic patients. In 78 patients with hypertension and type II diabetes glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels were determined after a 12-h fast
Context: We have previously found that visceral fat is a stronger predictor for cardiovascular risk factors than body mass index (BMI). Objective: This study sought to investigate the prevalence of diabetes in elderly men and women in relation to objectively assessed visceral fat volume. Design and Setting: The cohort consisted of a population-based sample of 705 men and 688 women, all age 70 y at
Popular Abstract in Swedish Aneurysm är ett sjukdomstillstånd som är känt sedan ca 2000 år före vår tideräkning, och bukaortaaneurysm (bråck på stora kroppspulsådern i buken) beskrivs i publikationer från 1500-talet. På 1800-talet försökte man sig på att behandla med ligering, tyvärr med dåligt resultat, och först på 1920-talet beskrivs den första lyckade ligeringen. Behandling med graftrekonstrukThe incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is increasing. The risk of rupture is related to diameter. However, rupture may occur also in small AAA. To evaluate the size of an aneurysm when related to the predicted normal aortic diameter might be a better predictor of risk. AAA:s, range 40-55 mm were studied in relation to gender. No difference in AAA diameter was found. However, body surfac
The structural organization of the gene for the human cysteine-proteinase inhibitor cystatin C was studied. Restriction-endonuclease digests of human genomic DNA hybridized with human cystatin C cDNA and genomic probes produced patterns consistent with a single cystatin C gene and, also, the presence of six closely related sequences in the human genome. A 30 kb restriction map covering the genomic
PURPOSE: To compare conventional MR imaging, echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (EP-DWI) and spin-echo diffusion-weighted imaging (SE)-DWI at radiological diagnosis of acute stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-seven patients (30-85 years old) were examined. Clinical examination was performed before MR imaging. All MR examinations were assessed by an experienced neuroradiologist blinded to cli
Buildings worldwide account for 30% of energy consumption and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) represent roughly 38% of a building’s consumption. Therefore, energy savings are crucial for sustainability. The complexity of buildings, with diverse physical domains and large-scale components, presents challenges to achieving energy-efficient operation. Implementing high-performance co
Abstract Background Swedish foods have difficulty competing against imported food that has different cost scenarios. Food price inflation has today led to a major focus on low cost for consumers. This focus has created a risk of lower food quality for consumers and lower profitability for the food industry. Target To develop a principled business model with a focus on identifying realizable value
Recent decades have exposed the crisis inherent in the globalized agriculture system characterized by nature commodification, trade liberalization, corporatization and environmental destruction. The crisis is driven by a colonial and neoliberal-capitalist ideology grounded in the supposed universality of western knowledge. Smallholders are particularly affected, with the dominant system threatenin
Downstream processing is an essential part in the production of biomolecules and the optimization of these processes are of great value, since they can be both time consuming and expensive. One common type of enzyme used in different biotechnical approaches is proteases and in this study Protease X was investigated. In order to use the enzyme in a process, a purification procedure needs to be esta
The four fundamental freedoms granted to residents in the Community have become the pillars for fairness between economic operators and persons within the internal market. The aim of the freedoms is to prohibit any restriction or discrimination toward residents of another Member State and endorse equal treatment. Subsequently, tax laws of Member States have been scrutinised before the Court of Jus
We study the process gg → bb̄H+H- at large tanβ, where it represents the dominant production mode of charged Higgs boson pairs in a Type II 2-Higgs doublet model, including the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The ability to select this signal would in principle enable the measurements of some triple-Higgs couplings, which in turn would help understanding the structure of the extended Higgs
Background: The treatment strategy for proximal aortic disease or type I endoleak after previous infrarenal repair has traditionally been open surgery. As endovascular treatment options with fenestrated and branched stent grafts increasingly rival open surgery for juxtarenal and pararenal aortic aneurysms, secondary proximal repair may similarly be performed endovascularly. Fenestrated stent graft
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to review the Russian Federation Government Quality Award (RFGQA) over its 25-year existence. Design/methodology/approach: This paper looks into the evolution, model and key provisions of RFGQA, based on the authors’ long-time experience as an Award assessor. Apart from that, methodologically, this study uses the desktop research method, comparative literature
Background: Mental distress is a major public health problem which includes anxiety, depression and somatic symptoms such as sleeping problems, fatigue and headache. University students are consistently reported to have higher levels of mental distress compared to the general population. Although university students with mental distress have significantly impaired cognitive functioning, learning d
The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to compare the costs and benefits of computer-based 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional predictions in orthognathic surgery.Subjects aged 18–30 years with severe class III malocclusion had their treatment planned with both 2- and 3-dimensional techniques. They were randomised in a 1:1 ratio for one or other planning technique. Costs (financial, time, and
BackgroundCrop yields are lowest in sub-Saharan Africa compared to other regions, and this is true even for such an important staple crop as maize. Persistence of patches of low crop vigour side-by-side to patches with healthier maize crops has been shown to significantly contribute to low yields on smallholdings. Farmers' perspectives on the presence of such poor patches are important as far as t
Innovation and Society Doctoral course, 7.5 credit (course offered in collaboration between Social Science Faculty and CIRCLE – Centre for Innovation Studies at LU) Aim ‘Innovation’ as a narrative, a justification, an excuse and an end in itself are found in a wide range of fields.
