Background: According to the “brain-reserve hypothesis” in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), patients with more years of education are expected to have higher cognitive status during adulthood. Hence, they might have a relatively larger burden of AD pathology and a more advanced level of the disease when dementia is clinically evident. Higher educated people would also be expected to perform better on sta

BACKGROUND: During the last 5 years, there has been an increase in the use of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to treat knee osteoarthritis in Australia, and these account for almost 6% of annual knee replacement procedures. However, there is debate as to whether a fixed bearing or a mobile bearing design is best for decreasing revision for loosening and disease progression as well as impr

Importance: Patients who survive severe intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) typically have poor functional outcome in the short term and understanding of future recovery is limited. Objective: To describe 1-year recovery trajectories among ICH and IVH survivors with initial severe disability and assess the association of hospital events with long-term recovery. Des

In 2019 and 2021, the European League for Rheumatism (EULAR) jointly with the European Renal Association (ERA) and the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), respectively, released updated guidelines on the management of lupus nephritis (LN). The Immunology Working Group of the ERA reviewed and compared both updates. Recommendations were either consistent or differences were of negligi

Background: The T-peak-to-T-end ($\mathrm{T}_{pe}$) interval has shown potential in predicting ventricular arrhythmic risk. It is an appealing index to be measured during ischemia since it is less influenced by ST-segment changes than the early part of the T wave. A time-warping-based index, derived from a spat

Background: Free oxygen radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a naturally occurring enzyme which provides a defense against such oxidant injury. Providing supplementary SOD has been tested in clinical trials to prevent BPD in preterm infants. Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of SOD in

It is established that the glomerular filter sieves macromolecules based on their size, shape, and charge. Anionic proteins are thus retarded compared with their neutral or cationic counterparts. However, recent studies have indicated that charge effects are small, or even "anomalous," for polysaccharides. We therefore investigated the impact of charge on the glomerular permeability to polysacchar

Background Smokers have a substantially increased risk of postoperative complications. Preoperative smoking intervention may be effective in decreasing this incidence, and surgery may constitute a unique opportunity for smoking cessation interventions. Objectives The objectives of this review are to assess the effect of preoperative smoking intervention on smoking cessation at the time of surgery

Popular Abstract in Swedish En god näringstillförsel är viktigt för att ett barn ska växa och utvecklas tillfredställande. De första 2-3 åren innebär en kraftig tillväxt och optimalt kostintag är därför extra viktigt under denna perioden. Barnets vikt tredubblas först året och längden ökar med 50 %. Hjärnan har en kraftig tillväxt de första 3 åren. Således är näringsbehoven relativt sett störst deThe overall aim of this thesis was to describe the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and factors influencing iron status and iron intake among otherwise healthy children. The specific aim in paper I+II was to describe the prevalence of ID among 2 ½-year-old children in relation to intake of cow's milk and follow-on formula. The design in the first two papers were cross-sectional and 367 2 ½-year-

Abstract in Danish Nytter rollatorer og elkørestole? Mennesker med gangbesvær kan opleve manglende muligheder for at udføre aktiviteter, som er forudsætningen for at leve et godt liv og deltage i samfundslivet på lige fod med andre borgere. Desuden vil nedsat mobilitet føre til inaktivitet, der har helbredsmæssige konsekvenser. Derfor sættes der fra samfundets side ind med rehabilitering, blandt Rollator and powered wheelchair interventions are often applied to make participation possible for citizens with limited walking capacity. However, the research-based knowledge about outcomes is insufficient for societal prioritisation purposes and for quality development of assistive technology within occupational therapy contexts. In this thesis outcomes in terms of user satisfaction, participat

UNLABELLED: Persistent CB1 cannabinoid receptor activity limits neurotransmitter release at various synapses throughout the brain. However, it is not fully understood how constitutively active CB1 receptors, tonic endocannabinoid signaling, and its regulation by multiple serine hydrolases contribute to the synapse-specific calibration of neurotransmitter release probability. To address this questi

Sammanfattning Enligt svensk rätt krävs det att parterna till en transaktion har vidtagit ett sakrättsligt moment för att en förvärvare av lös egendom ska vara skyddad mot överlåtarens borgenärer. Vilket sakrättsligt moment som uppställs varierar beroende på vilken typ av egendom som transaktionen rör. Vid förvärv av lösöre vinner köparen som huvudregel skydd mot säljarens borgenärer först när vaSummary Swedish law requires that the parties to a transaction have fulfilled a controllable measure in order for a buyer of movable property to obtain protection against the seller’s creditors. What kind of controllable measure that needs to be carried out varies depending on what type of property the transaction concerns. When the purchase concerns chattels the main rule is that the buyer recei

Den bästa teorin vi har om den subatomära världen kallas för ”Standardmodellen”. Standardmodellen beskriver de allra minsta partiklarna och deras interaktioner med varandra genom den elektromagnetiska svaga och starka kraften. Genom åren har Standardmodellen förutspått en rad av olika partiklar som har verifierats experimentellt. År 2012 upptäcktes den allra sista partikeln förutspådd av standardmIn this thesis, we extend the Higgs sector of the Standard Model by two scalar singlets and impose a discrete Z2 symmetry on each of them, under which, both singlets are odd. One of the two scalar singlets will acquire a vacuum expectation value while the other one does not. This leads to one scalar field mixing with the SM-like Higgs field and one stable scalar singlet. Thus, three scalar bosons
