Background: Emerging data propose biomarker alteration due to clonal selection between the primary invasive breast cancer and corresponding metastases. In addition, impact on survival has been demonstrated. The present study investigates the relationship between the oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) between primary ductal carcin
The expected increase in both consumption and production of electricity strains the Swedish electricity grid, necessitating both reinforcement and expansion. Concurrently, the need to decarbonise heavy industry is becoming more urgent to achieve the EU Climate neutrality goal by 2050, with hydrogen anticipated as a key player. Hybrid energy systems that combine the generation of renewable electric
Background: The objective of this systematic review is to identify prognostic factors among women and their offspring affected by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), focusing on endpoints of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) for women, and cardiometabolic profile for offspring. Methods: This review included studies published in English language from January 1st, 1990, through
Objectives To study the prevalence of and interplay between common neuropsychiatric sequelae 3-4 years after onset of first-ever stroke - specifically post-stroke fatigue (PSF), post-stroke depression (PSD) and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Design Population-based cohort study. Setting Catchment area of a Swedish University Hospital. Participants We recruited individuals with first-ever
This thesis concerns involuntary treatment of alcoholism. Clients committed according to the Swedish Act on Care of Addicts in Certain Cases were treated in the same residential treatment setting as voluntarily admitted clients. After informed consent, 104 clients (73 men and 21 women of whom 56 were compulsorily committed and 47 voluntarily admitted) participated in a test-series, including asses
Through several decades of research, absolute paleointensity estimates have been obtained from a wide range of rocks with varying ages, covering the last 3.45 Ga years. These paleointensity data are crucial to study the past geodynamo and the geological evolution of the Earth's deep interior. However, paleointensity data are often difficult to interpret, and on-going discussions concerning the pas
The current epidemiologic evidence suggests that men with type 2 diabetes mellitus may be at lower risk of developing prostate cancer, but little is known about its association with stage and grade of the disease. The association between self-reported diabetes mellitus at recruitment and risk of prostate cancer was examined in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
En av polisens metoder för att bedriva spaning är genom provokatörer. Provokatörer kan genomföra provokativa åtgärder. Om ett brott begås efter att en provokativ åtgärd vidtagits får den tilltalade inte dömas om dennes rätt, enligt europakonventionen, blivit oåterkalleligen undergrävd. Enskilds rätt är att anse som oåterkalleligen undergrävd om denne provocerats till att begå en typ av gärning som
Theoretical and empirical studies suggest that the structure and position of hybrid zones can change over time. Evidence for moving hybrid zones has been directly inferred by repeated sampling over time, or indirectly through the detection of genetic footprints left by the receding species and the resulting asymmetric patterns of introgression across markers. We here investigate a hybrid zone form
Nonradical-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) catalyzed by defective carbonaceous materials have exhibited great superiorities in trace antibiotics removal from natural water matrices. However, the complicated, extensive and highly-energy consumed synthesis methods are seriously hindering its development and application. Herein an in-situ electrochemical synthesis technology was developed a
Advanced instrumentation and versatile setups are needed for understanding light interaction with biological targets. Such instruments include (1) microscopes and 3D scanners for detailed spatial analysis, (2) spectral instruments for deducing molecular composition, (3) polarimeters for assessing structural properties, and (4) goniometers probing the scattering phase function of, e.g., tissue slab
A simultaneous measurement of the three components of the top-quark and top-antiquark polarisation vectors in t-channel single-top-quark production is presented. This analysis is based on data from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Selected events contain exactly one iso
OBJECTIVE To characterize distinct islet autoantibody profiles preceding stage 3 type 1 diabetes RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The T1DI (Type 1 Diabetes Intelligence) study combined data from 1,845 genetically susceptible prospectively observed children who were positive for at least one islet au-toantibody: insulin autoantibody (IAA), GAD antibody (GADA), or islet antigen 2 antibody (IA-2A). Using
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the value of discussing rectal cancer patients in a multidisciplinary team (MDT).METHODS: All treated rectal cancer patients (>T1M0) diagnosed in 2006-2008 were included. According to the national guidelines, neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy should be given to all rectal cancer patients. Patients were scored as "discussed" (MDT+) only if
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate patient-related factors predicting the selection of rectal cancer patients to Hartmann’s procedure as well as to investigate how often, and on what grounds, anterior resection is intraoperatively changed to Hartmann’s procedure. Methods: Prospectively collected data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry regarding patients with rectal cancer operated u
The dating of moraine deposits can present challenges to standard geochronological methods; terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN), sediment luminescence and radiocarbon dating may suffer from problems of incomplete resetting (by inheritance, intermittent cover/exposure, transport under unfavourable conditions) and/or a lack of suitable (organic) material. Rock surface luminescence burial dating (RS
Sentinel lymph node dissection is widely used in the staging of endometrial cancer. Variation in surgical techniques potentially impacts diagnostic accuracy and oncologic outcomes, and poses barriers to the comparison of outcomes across institutions or clinical trial sites. Standardization of surgical technique and surgical quality assessment tools are critical to the conduct of clinical trials. B
The Jk(a-b-) phenotype results from alterations in the JK gene and is characterized by absence of the RBC urea transporter in the cell membrane. The frequency of Jk(a-b-) varies among populations, but this phenotype is most commonly found in people of Polynesian and Finnish descent. Although rare, Jk(a-b-) individuals present a clinical challenge because anti-Jk3 is produced readily in response to
Most patients with symptoms suggestive of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) have no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and better selection of patients to be referred for diagnostic tests is needed. The CAD-score is a non-invasive acoustic measure that, when added to pretest probability of CAD, has shown good rule-out capabilities. We aimed to test whether implementation of CAD-score in clini
