Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING Halsbränna och sura uppstötningar är vanliga åkommor i den svenska befolkningen där upp till 20 procent av de tillfrågade uppger sig ha besvär av dessa symtom varje vecka. Både halsbränna och sura uppstötningar anses vara symtom på att magsäcksinnehåll flödar tillbaka upp genom övre magmunnen till matstrupen sk gastroesofageal reflux.This thesis investigates several aspects on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and associated complications as Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. I. To clarify the natural course of GERD, a pH-metry verified cohort was re-evaluated after 20 years. The course of GERD may well be progressive. A statement based on the evidence that reflux induced complications as esophagitis and

Herein I will provide a brief overview of artificial receptors with emphasis on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and their applications. Alternative techniques to produce artificial receptors such as in silico designed and modelled polymers as well as different receptors designed using libraries of more or less natural composition will also be mentioned. Examples of these include aptamers and

This project is set at the crossing of two burning topics of our time: the often ignored problematics of displaced people around the world; and the recently much more debated question of global warming. That these seemingly diverse thematics are deeply connected with each other becomes clear just by reading the IPCC* report from 2007 on global warming. As this report suggests, the real danger lies

Across different domains, justice is considered either from a perspective concerning mind-independent features of a situation or from a perspective related to mind-dependent motives, traits or emotions. Although these approaches have generated valuable insights, they remain largely disconnected from each other. What is missing is an integrative framework that can explain how the objective features

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is common among people with HIV (PWH), although studies comparing T2DM-related complications in people with and without HIV (PWoH) remain limited. This was assessed using data from the Cohort Study on Morbidity and HIV in Sweden (COSMOHS).METHOD: Nationwide study including Swedish residents born 1930-2006, diagnosed with T2DM between 2010 and 2019, follo

Background: Exertional breathlessness is a cardinal symptom of cardiorespiratory disease. Research Question: How does breathlessness abnormality, graded using normative reference equations during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), relate to self-reported and physiologic responses in people with chronic airflow limitation (CAL)? Study Design and Methods: An analysis was done of people aged ≥

Background: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) may be at higher risk of psychiatric disorders than the general population. However, few studies investigate the role of demographic factors.Methods: This register-based study includes all people living in Skåne, Sweden, on January 1st, 2014. The ID cohort comprises those who received support and service for people with functional impairments

In this conceptual article, we argue that artificial intelligence (AI) systems are contributing to the generation of an environment of affordances for everyday information practices through which they exert influence on people and the planet in ways that often are left unrecognised. We illustrate our insights by focusing on the practices of information seeking in everyday life, suggesting that the

Purpose We evaluated the impact of early integrated palliative care (PC) in patients with newly diagnosed lung and GI cancer. Patients and Methods We randomly assigned patients with newly diagnosed incurable lung or noncolorectal GI cancer to receive either early integrated PC and oncology care (n = 175) or usual care (n = 175) between May 2011 and July 2015. Patients who were assigned to the inte

The Wilms tumor gene (WT1) encodes a zinc-finger containing transcription factor present in primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells. WT1 is also highly expressed in most cases of acute myeloid leukemia. Moreover, WT1 can interfere with induced differentiation of leukemic cell lines. These data suggest a function of WT1 in the maintenance of a primitive phenotype and a role in leukemogenesis by in

During the course of development the motor repertoire of animals and humans alike go through dramatic changes. New motor patterns arise; movements become coordinated, improve in precision and are at the same time continuously calibrated to the changing body dimensions. The cerebellum is critical for movement coordination and adaptation in adults. Also, interfering with cerebellar development durin

Bytecode folding is an effective technique for speeding up execution in Java virtual machines. This paper investigates a hardware implementation of the aforementioned technique on BlueJEP, a Java embedded processor. Since BlueJEP is a micro-programmed stack machine, we adopt a micro-instruction oriented approach, folding up to four microinstructions (corresponding to up to four bytecodes, on occas
