The aim of our study was to examine the pathophysiology of ST depression (STD) in leads V1-V3 in the setting of inferior ST elevation myocardial infarction (iSTEMI) through the perspective of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods: Differences in myocardial area at risk (MaR), infarct size, ejection fraction and myocardial segment involvement by CMR were compared in MITOCARE trial patients with
A proteoglycan is a protein with at least one glycosidic chain or glycosaminoglycan (GAG) covalently bound to it. Since a common linker between the core protein and the GAG chain has a xylose present, the biosynthesis of GAGs can be primed using xylosides containing hydrophobic aglycons providing that these xylosides are capable of penetrating the cell membrane. 2-naphthyl β-D-xylopyranoside prim
Objective. Our aim was to study the risk of a first ischaemic stroke (IS) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated in primary healthcare. Design. The study population included all adults (n = 11,517), 45 years and older diagnosed with AF, from 75 primary care centres in Sweden between 2001 and 2007. IS was defined as a hospital care event of stroke between 2001 and 2010. Association betwe
There is growing evidence that immune functions are linked to the regulation of body fat. Our studies of knockout mice indicate that both endogenous interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1 can suppress mature-onset obesity. We now investigated whether four common polymorphisms of the IL6 and IL1 systems are associated with the fat mass measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in elderly men (n = 3
ObjectiveIncreased nuchal translucency originates from disturbed lymphatic development. Abnormal neural crest cell (NCC) migration may be involved in lymphatic development. Because both neuronal and lymphatic development share retinoic acid (RA) as a common factor, this study investigated the involvement of NCCs and RA in specific steps in lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) differentiation and nucha
Summary. Breast cancer in women under 30 years old carries a poor prognosis, for reasons that have not been identified. This study aimed to identify prognostic factors in this age group. Special attention was paid to the history of pregnancy. The clinical presentation and course of breast cancer was documented for 407 women, aged 20-29 years, who registered between 1978 and 1988 at one of nine can
BACKGROUND: Sharp force injuries display varying patterns depending on the manner of death (homicide, suicide, accidental). The purpose of this study was to analyse forensic autopsy data to examine the characteristics of sharp force injuries on the extremities, to differentiate between different manners of death and to examine demographic differences.METHODS: This retrospective cohort study utiliz
Over geologic time, biocalcification – the process by which marine organisms make calcium carbonate (CaCO3) – has reshaped climates, ocean life, and seawater chemistry. In particular, the evolution of coccolithophores, the largest group of nannoplankton and today’s most productive calcifiers, transformed ocean environments and the carbon cycle. Their origins, however, remain enigmatic. This is par
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most prevalent and aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer. The combination of late-stage diagnosis and the tendency to exhibit resistance to existing treatments highlights a critical gap in effective therapeutic options. There is thus a need for novel strategies for targeting HGSOC, particularly in its advanced stages. To address this gap, we developed
An experimental study of smoke propagation from an apartment to an escape route corridor in a real-scale residential building is presented in this paper. The experiments were performed using the same experimental setup but with different ventilation and apartment door opening times. The setup consisted of a fire in a two-seater sofa in an apartment connected to a corridor and other apartments. A t
We aimed to determine if thyroid autoimmunity is associated with a child's risk for subsequent development of islet or celiac autoantibodies. Children at high genetic risk of type 1 diabetes were followed for thyroid autoimmunity (thyroid peroxidase antibodies [TPOAb] and thyroglobulin antibodies [TGAb]), islet autoimmunity (IA), and celiac disease autoimmunity [CDA] in The Environmental Determina
Along with the increasingly globalized business environment that we have witnessed over the past decades cross-culture management research has establish itself as an important research field with much of its inspiration coming from colonialism and a Western rational thinking. The legacy of colonialism and Western rationality is apparent in its engagement in research practices involving the essenti
Neurochemical evidence indicates that cognitive impairment in dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) is related to degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the brain. A pharmacological approach is treatment with a cholinesterase inhibitor such as tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA). THA treatment of 17 patients with DAT was studied with a double-blind crossover design with three types of treatment, THA + lecith
Public policy conflicts emerge when feelings of scarcity and different interests dominate interactive process among the government and the public. The stakeholders struggle in a lower violence capacity but broad range of conflicting issues. Thus, some parties may use cooperative or/and competitive conflict management approaches to achieve their goals. This thesis argues that different political st
This thesis investigates machine learning-based control charts with Variable Pa- rameters(VP)formonitoringGeneralizedLinearModel(GLM)profiles. Previous studies have examined machine learning control charts under Fixed Parameters (FP) schemes for several GLM distributions, while VP schemes have mainly been studied for Binomial profiles with logit link. This thesis extends the VP frame- work to two
Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet som presenteras i denna avhandling handlar om att utveckla nya processer för att producera gasformiga biobränslen som är mer energieffektiva än de som används idag. Genom att göra processerna mer energieffektiva kan kostnaden för att producera biobränslen minskas. En lägre produktionskostnad för biobränslet gör det lättare att ersätta fossila bränslen med förnyeReplacing fossil fuels with biofuels is one way of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, thus decreasing our impact on the global climate. For this to be a viable option, several production routes are needed, as no single option can fully replace fossil fuels. One way of making biofuels more competitive with fossil fuels is by reducing the production cost. As most of the p
In Sweden, hypertension, is one of the most common reasons to attend primary care thus a Swedish public health problem of epic proportions. There is a general consensus about that effective antihypertensive treatment reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and premature death. Non-pharmacological treatment is advocated to be the basis of treatment. The caregiver is responsible for s
