Background Monotherapy with anticoagulation has been considered as first-line therapy in patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT). The aim of this study was to evaluate outcome, prognostic factors, and failure rate of anticoagulation as monotherapy, and to identify when bowel resection was needed.Methods Retrospective study of consecutive patients with MVT diagnosed between 2000 and 2015.RBACKGROUND: Monotherapy with anticoagulation has been considered as first-line therapy in patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT).

Se-methyl L-selenocysteine (MeSeCys) is one of the major organic selenium compounds acquired from the diet by human beings. It has been shown to have anticancer activity and cancer prevention functions. However, its antioxidant activity, largely related to its biological function, has not been well characterized so far. We here report a stopped-flow kinetic study of the reduction of the Pt(IV) antSe-methyl L-selenocysteine (MeSeCys) is one of the major organic selenium compounds acquired from the diet by human beings.

Usage profiles are an important factor in software system reliability estimation. To assess the sensitivity of a system’s reliability to changes in the usage profile, a Markov based system model is used. With the help of this model, the statistical sensitivity to many independent changes can be estimated. The theory supports both absolute and relative changes and can be used for systems with or wi

We review the history of floristic studies of the parish of Stenbrohult, southern Sweden, where Carl Linnaeus was born in 1707 and spent his summers until 1728. Unfortunately, Carl Linnaeus never made a list of the wild vascular plants at his birthplace, although he mentioned at least 64 species from the parish of Stenbrohult in various manuscripts and books. However, he said that Stenbrohult was

Penguins face a major thermal transition when returning to land in a hypothermic state after a foraging trip. Uninsulated appendages (flippers and feet) could provide flexible heat exchange during subsequent rewarming. Here, we tested the hypothesis that peripheral vasodilation could be delayed during this recovery stage. To this end, we designed an experiment to examine patterns of surface rewarmPenguins face a major thermal transition when returning to land in a hypothermic state after a foraging trip.

Popular science This study is about the water balance of two forest stands. The water balance here means the inflow of the water by rain and outflow by evaporation and groundwater flow. The main question of this research is how increased air temperature and change in the precipitation will affect the water balance of these forests. This has been done through a modeling program which will be descriRecent studies show that future climate change will have a major influence on the water balance of forests in which the projected increase in air temperature and variation in the precipitation around the world are expected to be among the most important drivers affecting the forest’s hydrological cycle. The objective of this study is to compare the water balance of two forests stands in two diff

In 2011 Eli Pariser coined the term ‘filter bubble’ and warned that online algorithm driven filters based on users’ click behaviour, would risk to reduce the diversity of public discourses and thereby deliberative democracy. Through the multidisciplinary and iterative Realist Synthesis method, the aim of the study has been to synthesise empirically based understanding of how online algorithm drive

The aim of this study was to increase the understanding of how social workers, working with people with substance abuse, describe the client relationship, the strategies they use and the challenges they encounter in building and maintaining this relationship. The study was based on semi-structured interviews with five professional social workers from two different municipalities in southern Sweden

Drawing on practice centered approaches to consumption, this study situates a cultural analysis of Instagram, a smartphone-­‐based image sharing application used by over 80 million people worldwide, within wider discourses on reflexive modernity, critical media studies, prosumption, and late-­‐modern consumer culture. A seven-­‐day diary study with 25 international participants, supplemented by pa

Innovation platforms are new collaborative organisations in the urban development context that aim to support innovation. They assemble different organisations and actors and act as flexible intermediary links between the same. By being intrinsically flexible and adaptable in form and function, the innovation platform can be seen as an organisational accomplishment or enactment of adaptive planninInnovation platforms are new collaborative organisations in the urban development context that aim to support innovation.
