Knowledge about food structures at different length scales is key for the continued development of sustainable, tasty and healthy foods. It is critical to control, model and predict the supramolecular architecture of foods along the whole value chain: from raw materials, to their changes during processing, all the way to how products form structures during consumption and digestion. Today, advance
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are structures that neutrophils form in response to various stimuli, including invading pathogens. NETs are increasingly studied, and their importance has been demonstrated in autoimmunity and infection. However, no consensus has emerged on their quantification, with many studies resorting to manually counting NETs in microscopy images. NETQUANT is a free soft
Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) is defined by a cystatin C-based estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFRCYS) being less than 60% or 70% of a creatinine-based GFR estimation (eGFRCR) in the absence of extrarenal influences on cystatin C or creatinine concentrations. SPS has been associated with a substantial increase in mortality or morbidity in all investigated populations. However, in these s
Objective: Although cancer promotes inflammation, the role of inflammation in tumor-genesis is less well established. The aim was to examine if low-grade inflammation is related to post-menopausal breast cancer risk, and if obesity modifies this association. Methods; In the Malmo Diet and Cancer cohort, a nested case-control study was defined among 8,513 women free of cancer and aged 55.73 years a
BackgroundPrevention of child obesity is an international public health priority and believed to be effective when started in early childhood. Caregivers often ask for an early and structured response from health professionals when their child is identified with overweight, yet cost-effective interventions for children aged 2–6 years and their caregivers in Child Health Services are lacking.Object
Aims: According to Braak's hypothesis, it is plausible that Parkinson's disease (PD) originates in the enteric nervous system (ENS) and spreads to the brain through the vagus nerve. In this work, we studied whether inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) in humans can progress with the emergence of pathogenic α-synuclein (α-syn) in the gastrointestinal tract and midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Methods:
Background and aims: Active aging is the process through which people strive to maintain wellbeing when growing old. Addressing the lack of research on active aging in the context of housing, the aim was to describe active aging among people aged 55 and older considering relocation and investigate whether perceived housing moderates the relationship between functional limitations and active aging.
Air pollution in urban environments exhibits large spatial and temporal variations due to high heterogeneous air flow and emissions. To address the complexity of local air pollutant dynamics, a comprehensive large-eddy simulation using the PALM model system v6.0 was conducted. The distribution of flow and vehicle emitted aerosol particles in a realistic urban environment in Malmö, Sweden, was stud
Identifying key molecular pathways and genes involved in the response to urban pollutants is an important step in furthering our understanding of the impact of urbanisation on wildlife. The expansion of urban habitats and the associated human-introduced environmental changes are considered a global threat to the health and persistence of humans and wildlife. The present study experimentally invest
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in intercellular communication by transferring bioactive molecules from donor to recipient cells. As a result, EV fusion leads to the modulation of cellular functions and has an impact on both physiological and pathological processes in the recipient cell. This study explores the impact of EV fusion on cellular responses to inflammatory signaling. O
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can accurately measure left ventricular (LV) mass, and several measures related to LV wall thickness exist. We hypothesized that prognosis can be used to select an optimal measure of wall thickness for characterizing LV hypertrophy. Subjects having undergone CMR were studied (cardiac patients, n = 2543; healthy volunteers, n = 100). A new measure, global wal
This study investigated the feasibility of targeting the free, unbound forms of prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) for in vivo imaging of prostate adenocarcinomas (PCa), as PSA is produced and secreted at abundance during every clinical stage and grade of PCa, including castration-resistant disease. We injected (125)I-labeled monoclonal antibody PSA30 (specific for an epitope uniquely accessible on

Innebörden av ensamrätten är att varumärkesinnehavare kan hindra tredje man från att använda innehavarens varumärke. Ensamrätten gäller endast om varumärkesanvändning föreligger vilket betyder att rekvisiten ”användning”, ”för varor eller tjänster” samt ”i näringsverksamhet” behöver vara uppfyllda. Eftersom att varumärkesrätten endast räknar upp exempel på handlingar som kan motsättas blir domstolThe meaning of an exclusive right is that a trademark owner has the right to prevent a third party from using the owner’s trademark. The exclusive right only applies if there is a trademark use, which means that the necessary requirements “use”, “for goods or services” and “in the course of trade” must be met. Since trademark law only gives examples of which actions can be opposed, the ECJ’s state
Den straffrättsliga regleringen av psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har varierat genom åren. Innan BrB trädde ikraft 1965 prövade domstolen psykiskt störda lagöverträdares tillräknelighet, men i samband med en omfattande straffrättsreform utmönstrades kravet på tillräknelighet. Sedan BrB trädde ikraft har straffrätten förändrats och flera utredningar om att återinföra tillräknelighet har publiceratsThe regulations of mentally ill offenders in criminal law have varied over the years. Before BrB came into effect in 1965, the Swedish law reviewed mentally ill offenders’ mental condition to try whether insanity defence was applicable. However in connection with an extensive reformation of Swedish criminal law, insanity defence was discarded. Since BrB came into effect, criminal law has been modi
Bakgrund: Hälsoläget och dödligheten bland schizofrena patienter är i jämförelse med normalpopulationen klart försämrad. Patientgruppen dör i genomsnitt 10-20 år tidigare och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar (CVD) är särskilt utmärkande. Patientgruppen lever stillasittande liv i högre utsträckning, men fysisk aktivitet, fysisk träning och ökad fysisk fitness har i flera studier visat sig ha goda hälsoeff
In recent years more attention has been given to the rights of the indigenous peoples. Global awareness has been raised concerning the difficult circumstances under which they live. The ILO Convention No 169 and the UN Draft Declaration will serve as foundations for a new relationship between States and their indigenous peoples, promoting a stronger protection against discrimination and violations
Pilotstudien syftade till att undersöka om en KBT-baserad vägledd självhjälpsbehandling för låg självkänsla administrerad över internet är associerad med förändring i självkänsla och livskvalitet för deltagarna. Studien har en kvasiexperimentell design med för- och eftermätning, utan randomisering eller kontrollgrupp. 35 personer deltog i SKÖN-projektet (självkänsla över nätet) som pågick under seThe purpose of this pilot study was to examine if a CBT-based guided self-help treatment administered online for people suffering from low self-esteem was associated with a change in self-esteem and life satisfaction. The study was quasi-experimental, without control groups or randomization. Participants were measured pre- and post-treatment. The study revealed a result that was statistically sign
Popular science Boreal forests play an important role within the global climatic system, since they generally act as a carbon sink. However, contrary to expectations, measurements have shown that the boreal forest at the Norunda research site in Central Sweden is acting as a carbon source, i.e. emitting more of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) as taking up. Soil CO2 efflux plays an importan
