Aims: This study investigates the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) in relation to country of origin of the mother. The role of psychosocial resources, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors was examined in different causal models. Methods: Among all pregnant nulliparous women in the city of Malmo¨ , Sweden, who gave birth in 1991 – 92, 872 (87.7%) women completed a questionnaire during their f

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akrylatallergi Plastmaterial består av stora molekyler som kallas polymerer samt tillsatsämnen som tillsätts för att modifiera materialets egenskaper. Polymerer bildas när det sker en stegvis reaktion mellan monomerer så att större molekyler bildas. Allergiframkallande ämnen i plastsystem kan vara monomererna, härdarna, modifierarna eller andra tillsatsämnen. AkrylaterAcrylate contact allergy has been frequently reported since the 1970s, with hundreds of articles published in dermatology journals so far. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the frequency of contact allergy to acrylates / methacrylates in patients with exposure to industrial, dental and nail uses of these substances. We also aimed to investigate the clinical and chemical aspects of pa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) är en av flera tillväxtfaktorer som finns lagrad i benvävnaden. bFGF framkallar celldelning och tillväxt hos många olika celltyper, däribland benceller (osteoblaster) och broskceller. bFGF kan stimulera till nybildning av blodkärl och även benvävnad. I denna avhandling undersökes om utifrån tillfört bFGF kan öka benbildning och vävnBasic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) is one of the endogenous factors found in bone matrix. bFGF is a mitogen for many cell types, including osteoblasts and chondrocytes. It can stimulate angiogenesis and osteoblast gene expression. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether exogenous bFGF can stimulate the formation of bone in bone grafts and in a bone graft substitute. All experiments

Purpose: To assess the performance of a 4-step algorithm for neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest recommended by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). Methods: Retrospective descriptive analysis with data from the Target Temperature Management (TTM) Trial. Associations between predicted and actual neurological outcome wer

In this paper I ask how ethnology with a medical humanities perspective can use the term Anthropocene to better understand the emerging fact that we soon will stand without functional antibiotics.

Syftet med denna rapport är att ge en bild av hur Sveriges kommuner arbetar med att främja kollektivtrafiken. Trots att kommunerna i de flesta fall inte har direkt rådighet över kollektivtrafiken påverkar kommunal styrning områden såsom bebyggelseplanering och lokalisering, trafikplanering (ex omfördelning av befintlig vägkapacitet), reglering av biltrafik (ex. parkering, bilfria zoner, m.m.) mobi

A color conversion digital filter is implemented which represents a block of a medical imaging system able to assist gynecologists during colposcopic image analysis is presented. The conceived tool is a monitoring system in the field smart health; in fact an early diagnosis could improve the quality of life and the life expectancy of patients. Tree different digital green filters are conceived and

The group of cetrarioid lichens with globose ascospores includes 37 species from eight genera. Phylogenetic analysis, using program PAUP 3.1.1, was carried out on two different data sets – morphological (incl. anatomical and chemical) and molecular characters (ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2 rDNA sequences) – to verify the correspondence of current taxonomy to the probable evolution of the taxa involved.

Since most models used to study neuronal dysfunction display disadvantages and ethical concerns, a fast and reproducible in vitro model to study mitochondria-related neurodegeneration is required. Here, we optimized and characterized a 3-day retinoic acid-based protocol to differentiate the SH-SY5Y cell line into a neuronal-like phenotype and investigated alterations in mitochondrial physiology an

The present research front of NbO2 based memory, energy generation, and storage thin film devices is reviewed. Sputtering plasmas contain NbO, NbO2, and NbO3 clusters, affecting nucleation and growth of NbO2, often leading to a formation of nanorods and nanoslices. NbO2 (I41/a) undergoes the Mott topological transition at 1081 K to rutile (P42/mnm), yielding changes in the electronic structure, wh

Background: Hypotension is common after cardiac arrest (CA), and current guidelines recommend using vasopressors to target mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) higher than 65 mmHg. Pilot trials have compared higher and lower MAP targets. We will review the evidence on whether higher MAP improves outcome after cardiac arrest. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted based o

Importance: Cutaneous malignant neoplasms are the most common subsequent neoplasm after blood or marrow transplant (BMT), but a full assessment among survivors is lacking. Objective: To identify risk factors for subsequent cutaneous malignant neoplasms using the BMT Survivor Study (BMTSS). Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent transplant

Since its heyday in the 1960 and 70s, the sociology of literature has been declared dead and gone, yet research related to the field also seems to be reemerging in the first decades of the 21st century. Research relating to the field is scattered across other disciplines, such as literary studies, media studies and cultural studies; indeed, sociology of literature is “everywhere and nowhere”, as J

In the light of recent developments in the design of structural materials, micro-architected heterogenous-structure metals are considered among most structurally efficient. In this work, a new technique for Local High Pressure Torsion (L-HPT) enabling the creation of heterogeneous structures through localised deformation processing in sheet metals by impeding a rotating punch is proposed. Using AA

Power Factor Correction (PFC) converters are essential in designing any charging architecture, regardless of the battery's capacity and the application. Nevertheless, power converters, having continuous output current features, are widely used for battery charging applications. In contrast, converters with continuous input current characteristics exhibit better PFC performance. The Cuk converter c

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka kostnader för ordningshållning som polisen kan ålägga anordnare av offentliga tillställningar och allmänna sammankomster. Huvudfokus kommer att ligga på under vilka förutsättningar polisen kan begära ersättningar för sina ordningshållande kostnader vid det aktuella evenemanget. Detta är en fråga som aktualiserats på senare tid, inte minst inom meThe purpose of this paper is to investigate which cost of maintaining security that the police can require from organizers of public events and public gatherings. The main focus will be on the conditions under which the police can request compensation for their costs maintaining security in the current event. This is a topic that has in recent times, not least in the media, mainly due to sports cl
