BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Vitamin K dependent proteins are involved in numerous biological processes, including coagulation, cancer development and inflammation, but their profile and functions in many patient groups and conditions are still unknown. The aim of this study was to describe vitamin K dependent proteins in patients undergoing head and neck free flap surgery, with the hypothesis that thes
Objective. To examine the changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in terms of age, gender, and treatment strategy in Iran. Methods and Materials. Forty-nine patients responded to the Iranian version of the 36-item short form (SF-36) questionnaire to evaluate the HRQoL at first and third year after treatment. The paired and independentWilcoxo
Clinical and physical assessments of image quality are compared and the correlation between the two derived. Clinical assessment has been made by a group of expert radiologists who evaluated the fulfillment of the European Image Criteria for chest and lumbar spine radiography; yielding the so-called Image Criteria Score, ICS. Physical measures of image quality were calculated using a Monte Carlo m
To determine the association between vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) and levels of visual function loss in the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT).

A search is presented for flavour-changing neutral-current interactions involving the top quark, the Higgs boson and an up-type quark (q=u,c) with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis considers leptonic decays of the top quark along with Higgs boson decays into two W bosons, two Z bosons or a τ+τ- pair. It focuses on final states containing either two leptons (electrons or
The purpose of the article is to discuss the term ‘quality’ in relation to primary education in Tanzania, and to contextualize quality and identify the premises for obtaining quality in primary school education in rural and urban settings. To understand opinions about the quality of education and the current situation in primary schools, the author conducted interviews with teachers and focus grou
Många av dagens cancerpatienter får strålbehandling. Den strålning som produceras i en strålbehandlingsapparat är av två olika slag: elektronstrålning och fotonstrålning. Vanligt ljus är också fotonstrålning, men fotonstrålningen som används inom strålbehandling är mycket mer energirik och kallas med ett annat namn för röntgenstrålning. Inför en strålbehandling görs mycket planering utav ett team "This project concerns the precise characterization of one of the VARIAN accelerators used in the radiotherapy clinic at the Finsen Centre at Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark. Detailed characteristics of the clinical beam incident on the patient are almost impossible to measure. Even though manufacturers provide the necessary information about the specific accelerator, the models are c
Popular summary: Hydrocarbons, ground water and economic minerals occur in pores (voids) between sediment grains, which later may form more solid and less porous sedimentary rocks. Thus porosity is a term that describes the abundance of these pores and can be defined as the quantity of oil, gas, water and economic minerals a rock can hold and it is expressed as percentages (%). The other importa
Objective To evaluate any association of the presence and severity of nine major symptoms (pain, tiredness, drowsiness, nausea, appetite, breathlessness, depression, anxiety, and perceived well-being) with sleep quality and duration in elderly men.Design and setting Cross-sectional analysis within the population-based VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study (VASCOL) conducted in southe
Gallstone disease is common in the Western world, and approximately 15,000 cholecystectomies and 9000 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies (ERCPs) are performed each year in Sweden. While being safe, the high frequency of these procedures has a significant cumulative impact on health in the community, exceeding those of many complex procedures for malignant conditions. Compliance with
1. Grassland is an important habitat for butterflies and many other pollinating insects. Over half of the 501 European butterflies use grasslands as one of their main habitats.2. The Grassland Butterfly Index has been adopted by the EU as a key measure of progress towards the target of halting biodiversity loss, restoring nature in agro-ecosystems and reversing the decline in pollinators by 2030,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vibrationsskador i händerna utgör idag ett stort yrkesmedicinskt problem. Långvarig exponering av handhållna vibrerande verktyg kan leda till ett hand-arm vibrationssyndrom (HAVS) som är en kronisk åkomma. Vibrationsskadan kan vara irreversibel och är progressiv om vibrationsexponeringen fortsätter. Många arbetare utsätts dagligen för hand-arm vibrationer. Elva procent Workers exposed to hand-held vibrating machines may risk developing a hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), a condition which can cause chronic impairment and disability. The aims of this thesis were 1) to obtain deeper insight and further knowledge of HAVS and the consequences for hand function, and aspects of quality of life (QoL); 2) to investigate the usefulness of clinical assessments in diagno

Many cities around the world are undergoing urbanisation, developing undeveloped land or redeveloping underused areas due to changing times. Such developments often focus on attracting new residents and building new communities, and their economic benefits, so those areas are actively developed by developers and municipalities. Also, the concept of compact cities is encouraged in such areas in ter
