Objectives: Depression is common but not always recognized and often undertreated among elderly. Cardiovascular diagnoses have been reported to be associated with depression. The study examined if this association could be confirmed in a frail elderly population. It also assessed the association between high depressive scores and certain health complaints and the use of certain drugs, respectively
Right-wingauthoritarianism (RWA) is regularly implicated as a potential risk factor of abusive behavior, whereas social dominance orientation (SDO) is not. We compared RWA and the two subscales of SDO, SDO-Dominance and SDO-Egalitarianism, as factors behind legitimization and hypothetical self-involvement in the use of torture-like abusive behavior (a scenario from Abu-Ghraib military prison). Int
Gastroparesis is a well-known complication of diabetes mellitus, both in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Esophageal dysmotility has also been described, but is not as well-characterized. The etiology and effect of these complications need to be clarified. The aim of the present study was to evaluate esophageal and gastric motility, complications, gastrointestinal symptoms, and plasma biomar
Offspring sex ratios may deviate from parity when the fitness benefits of producing male or female offspring vary. We tested for sex ratio bias in smooth-billed anis Crotophaga ani, a communal laying cuckoo with low within-group relatedness and high offspring dispersal. One male group member performs nocturnal incubation and sires more offspring than other males in the group, suggesting males may
A high frequency of IgA1-positive tumour cells was found in tissue micro-arrays of oesophagus, colon, testis, lung, breast, bladder and ovarian cancer. IgA1 was observed in the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane. A correlation was found between intra-tumour IgA1 and poor overall survival in a large cohort of bladder cancer patients (n = 99, p = 0.011, log-rank test). The number of IgA1-positive tum
Reflecting the multiple ambiguities of its ordinary language use, the current scholarly use of the term(s) “medium”/“media” is fraught with contradictions. Starting out from the insight that the nucleus of any kind of communication is an act, in which an addresser presents an artefact and a task of interpretation to an addressee, which the latter is called upon to fulfil, anything else that accrue
Chemerin is a recently discovered adipokine shown to be involved in both inflammatory and metabolic processes. Here, we demonstrate that chemerin serum levels are elevated in patients with multiple myeloma and that it increases with disease progression. We found that chemerin is expressed by stromal cells and preadipocytes, whereas its receptor CCRL2 is expressed by primary myeloma cells, suggesti
En analys av komediserien Seinfeld där jag söker efter postmoderna tendenser i handling, manus och karaktärer för att besvara min frågeställning: Vad är identitet enligt Seinfeld som TV-serie?
Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine which leads in the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) are the best for detecting acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among chest pain patients in the emergency department. Methods: Neural network classifiers were used to determine the predictive capability of individual leads and combinations of leads from 862 ECCs from chest pain

Gruppen driver forskning kring det kliniska förloppet och risk för utveckling av lungsjukdom, leversjukdom och andra sjukdomar vid alfa-1-antritrypsinbrist (AAT-brist). En del av forskningen är baserad på det svenska nationella registret över personer med svår alfa-1-antitrypsinbrist (AAT-registret). Gruppen följer också upp en unik kohort av individer med svår och måttlig AAT-brist som identifierThe research group conducts research on the clinical course and risk of developing lung disease, liver disease and other diseases in alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AAT deficiency). Some of the research is based on the Swedish National Register of individuals with severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT). The research group also follows a unique cohort of individuals with severe and moderate AA
Internrevisionen är en oberoende, objektiv säkrings- och rådgivningsverksamhet med uppgift att tillföra värde och förbättra universitetets verksamhet. Vid Lunds universitet är internrevisionen en från den operativa verksamheten fristående enhet, administrativt placerad under rektor. Internrevisionen rapporterar resultatet av sitt arbete direkt till universitetsstyrelsen som är internrevisionens up
Katten är ett av våra mest populära sällskapsdjur, och de används allt oftare i terapi och som sällskap på bl.a. äldreboenden. Därför är det viktigt att vi får en bild av relationen mellan katt och människa, och hur vi kommunicerar med varandra. Katten har lärt sig att kommunicera med människor med både visuella signaler och ljud. Vi vet dock fortfarande väldigt lite om hur katter och människor ”pCats are very popular pets, and they are increasingly being used in therapy, and as companions in institutions such as retirement homes. Therefore, it is important to gain a better understanding of the human–cat relationship, including the vocal signals used to communicate. Cats have learned to communicate with humans using visual and vocal signals. However, many aspects of the cat's vocal communi
Organisationsforskning är ett tvärvetenskapligt område som undersöker vad som händer i och omkring organisationer. I syfte att finna ny kunskap och bättre metoder för organisering använder forskare en mängd olika perspektiv och metoder för att utforska både klassiska och särskilt aktuella frågor, exempelvis ledarskap i vardagsarbete och makt- och könsroller i organisationer. Inom nutida organisatiOrganization studies is a multidisciplinary field that investigates what happens in and around organizations. Seeking new understandings as well as better ways of organizing, researchers deploy a variety of perspectives and methods to explore both classic and particularly topical questions, such as how everyday work is managed and the role of power and gender in organizational life.
