Background: Social and lifestyle influences on age-related changes in body morphology are complex because lifestyle and physiological response to social stress can affect body fat differently. Objective: We examined the associations of socioeconomic status (SES) and lifestyle factors with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in middle-aged and elderly European men. Design and setting
För cirka tio år sedan började användningen av en ny produkt på den svenska försäkringsmarknaden för företagsförvärv. Den så kallade M&A- försäkringen syftar till att hantera de garantiåtaganden som säljaren lämnar i aktieöverlåtelseavtalet genom att överföra ansvaret till en försäkringsgivare. På grund av den riskallokering som försäkringslösningen innebär kan den fungera som ett förhandlingsRoughly ten years ago started the usage of a new product on the Swedish insurance market for acquisitions. The so-called M&A-insurance is designed to handle the warranty obligations, that the seller provides in the share purchase agreement, by transferring the responsibility thereof to an insurer. Because of the risk allocation that the insurance solution means it can function as a negotiating
A small, nucleotide-binding domain, the ATP-cone, is found at the N-terminus of most ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalytic subunits. By binding adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) it regulates the enzyme activity of all classes of RNR. Functional and structural work on aerobic RNRs has revealed a plethora of ways in which dATP inhibits activity by inducing oligome
Purpose: To investigate the contributors to self-rated health in people with late-stage Parkinson’s disease (PD) and cognitive impairment. Methods: A secondary analysis of baseline data from the international Care of Late-Stage Parkinsonism (CLaSP) cohort study was conducted. Participants with PD and either dementia or mild cognitive impairment or MMSE < 24/30 in the absence of major depression we
Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) are two common and aggressive subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma. The aim of this study was to assess potential transcriptomic differences between MFS and UPS tumours and to evaluate the extent to which differences in gene expression profiles were associated with genomic and clinical features. The study included 162 patients with t
Background: Registry data used to monitor clinical care need to be reliable, and the process for assuring data quality transparent. Here the auditing process of the Swedish quality registry for cardiac disease, SWEDEHEART, is described. Methods: SWEDEHEART audits have been performed at 4 time-points in 2011 to 2018, with data quality audited in the 3 largest subregistries covering acute coronary s
Dendrometers offer valuable insights into how tree growth responds to climatic variables and physiological processes over the course of a year. Yet, their applicability to extremely slow-growing trees, such as those in peatlands, has been limited due to the intricate and slow nature of growth, therefore rendering interpretation of results complex. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive monito
Philosophy played an important role in the Soviet political system becauseit provided ideological legitimization for the regime. Therefore, throughout the existence of the Soviet Union, the authorities and general populations showed a great interest in the works of philosophers. The collapse of the Soviet Union and its Marxist-Leninist ideology led to philosophy’s losing its privileged political s
HVAC systems have the purpose of improving indoor air quality in buildings to enhance appropriate occupants- comfort, health and good productivity. Window airing may be one measure to consider in the absence of occupant control of the ventilation and by that, we mean occupants opening windows and doors. Approximating the volume of air exchanged during window airing is important in understanding th
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has many known dysregulated inflammatory proteins. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is a protease that sheds several proteins involved in COPD pathogenesis. The aim was to investigate ADAM17, its phosphorylated form (pADAM17) and its substrates in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and blood from COPD and control subjects. METHODS:
Objectives: The purpose of this study is the development of a porcine model of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning to investigate alterations in brain and heart mitochondrial function. Design: Two group large animal model of CO poisoning. Setting: Laboratory. Subjects: Ten swine were divided into two groups: Control (n = 4) and CO (n = 6). Interventions: Administration of a low dose of CO at 200 ppm to
Cytogenetic analysis using Giemsa banding technique was successful in 30 of the 49 adult patients with nonHodgkin lymphomas investigated. The results are correlated with previous findings in 48 non‐Hodgkin lymphoma patients studied by means of fine needle aspiration in our laboratory. As 8 patients were included in both series, the total number successfully investigated was 70. The success rate wi
Recent climate warming has altered plant phenology at northern European latitudes, but conclusions regarding the spatial patterns of phenological change and relationships with climate are still challenging as quantitative estimates are strongly diverging. To generate consistent estimates of broad-scale spatially continuous spring plant phen
Background: Home care service (HCS) for sick children is a complex healthcare service, which can be organised in various models. Despite the possibility to support family everyday life, the accessibility and utilisation may still be limited. The aim of this study was to (i) determine characteristics in referrals to county-based HCS, (ii) determine characteristics of referred children and (iii) ass
Interaction of mono- and disaccharides, polysaccharide particles and yeast cells with boronate-containing copolymers (BCC) of N-acryloyl-m-aminophenylboronic acid (NAAPBA) with NN-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) or N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) was studied. The binding of saccharides to BCC of NIPAM resulted in a shift of its phase transition temperature (Delta T-p), which provided a quantitative measur
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) commonly results in injury to the components of the white matter tracts, causing post-injury cognitive deficits. The myelin-producing oligodendrocytes (OLs) are vulnerable to TBI, although may potentially be replaced by proliferating oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). The cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a key mediator of the complex inflammatory response, and
Background: It remains unknown if bivalirudin compared to heparin confers any additional inhibition of platelet and coagulation activation during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) after pretreatment with ticagrelor. Methods: In this substudy of VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART trial, 103 patients pretreated with ticagrelor were randomized before PPCI to heparin or bivalirudin. Blood samples wer
Background Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) enhances coagulation via endothelial perturbation and inflammation. Role of natural anticoagulants in interactions between coagulation and inflammation as well as in acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) are not well known. The purpose of this study was to define changes in natural anticoagulants over time in association with GVHD. Patients an
Early identification of patients who could benefit from early re-intervention after catheter ablation is highly warranted. Our aim was to investigate the association between post-procedural burden of supraventricular ectopic complexes (SVEC) and the risk of long-term atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. A total of 125 patients undergoing catheter ablation for AF were included. Patients underwent 7
