Background: Opioid-related mortality is high and increasing in the Western world, and interventions aimed at reducing opioid-related deaths represent an important area of study. In Skåne County, Sweden, a patient choice reform resulted in increased access to opioid substitution treatment (OST). In addition, a gradual shift towards less restrictive terms for exclusion from OST has been implemented.

BACKGROUND: Deregulated lipid metabolism is common in cancer cells and the mevalonate pathway, which synthesizes cholesterol, is central in lipid metabolism. This study aimed to assess statin-induced changes of the intratumoral levels of cholesterol and the expression of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) to enhance our understanding of the role of the mevalonate pathway in cancer cholest

Tetra Pak is developing a new flexible packaging machine called Tetra Pak C3/FLEX. With this machine it will be possible to manufacture packages of different volumes with the same cross sections. A volume change denotes that the repeating length of the packages changes. This results in a variation of the web velocity through the machine. When the web velocity changes, the emitted amount of heat to

There are high hopes in Greenland that the country will go from being a nation of fishermen to a nation of oil producers. But what do we really know about the prospects? Our thesis investigates how favourable the geological, economic and institutional conditions are for building a self-­sustaining economy in Greenland based on its hydrocarbon resources. The geological conclusions are encouraging.

BACKGROUND: A new generation of positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET-CT) was recently introduced using silicon (Si) photomultiplier (PM)-based technology. Our aim was to compare the image quality and diagnostic performance of a SiPM-based PET-CT (Discovery MI; GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA) with a time-of-flight PET-CT scanner with a conventional PM detector (Gemini TF; P

The number of heating and cooling system using vertical borehole heat exchangers is increasingly rapidly in Sweden. Currently, there are over 600,000 installations, mostly using U-tube ground collectors. In recent years, several new ground collectors with innovative designs and configurations have been launched. They claim to have superior performance and competitive advantages over the convention
