Rationale & Objective: Data for outcomes of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) secondary to systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) are limited. We examined the incidence and prevalence of ESRD due to scleroderma in Europe and the outcomes among these patients following initiation of RRT. Study Design: Registry study of incidence and prevalence and
Lung cancer is a common cancer type associated with poor prognosis. Even in the group of patients with earlystage tumors, for which curative treatment is possible, lung cancer recurrence is frequent. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the potential prognostic role of mutations in tumor specimens, blood-based proteins and circulating tumor DNA.In study I, we performed EGFR mutation detection
The road safety barriers are today designed and installed in compliance with the European standards for Road Restraint Systems (EN 1317), which lays down common requirements for the testing and certification in all EU countries. The introduction of the European Union (EU) regulation for safety barriers, which is based on performance, has encouraged European road agencies to perform an upgrade of t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Summary in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Neuroblastom uppstår ur omogna nervceller i binjurarna eller i nervvävnaden bredvid ryggraden och är den vanligaste extrakraniala solida tumörformen hos barn. Varje år drabbas ca 10-15 barn i Sverige och sjukdomen uppkommer vanligast hos barn under 4 år. Trots enorma framgångar med behandlingsformer, så som cytostatAbstract Neuroblastoma is a highly malignant neoplasm found in children. Although children with high-risk neuroblastoma respond to chemotherapy, relapses are common and an estimated long-time survival prognosis is approximately 15%. Thus, there is a tremendous need for new chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment for neuroblastoma. Polyamines are needed for cell proliferation and cell survival. Th
In most genres of fiction representations of a profession, discipline or calling must broadly resonate with the conceptions of that role held by audiences. But very few represenations of PR practice to be found in novels written by UK-based writers draw a picture of PR activity that sits comfortably with the ”idealised” models offered by organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Public Re
Denna uppsats undersöker hur polisers muntliga utsagor värderas i brottmål och i vilken utsträckning denna bevisvärdering är förenlig med gällande rätt och vittnespsykologisk forskning. Detta mot bakgrund av diskussioner i den rättsvetenskapliga doktrinen om att polisers utsagor i vissa fall riskerar att övervärderas, samt erfarenheter från rättsväsendet och uttalanden i praxis som ger intryck av This essay examines how oral statements made by police officers are evaluat-ed as evidence in criminal proceedings and to what extent such evidentiary assessment is compatible with applicable law and psychological research. The study is motivated by discussions in the legal doctrine suggesting that police statements may be accorded excessive evidentiary weight, as well as experiences from the judi
Studier visar på att det finns bristfällig forskning om arbetsterapeuters arbete med sexuell hälsa. Syftet: Att undersöka arbetsterapeuters arbete med sexuell hälsa hos individer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning inom daglig verksamhet och vuxenhabilitering. Metod: Kvantitativ enkätstudie där 30 stycken arbetsterapeuter rekryterades via icke-slumpmässigt bekvämlighetsurval och snöbollsurval. Studies show that there is insufficient research on occupational therapists (OT) work on sexual health. Purpose: Investigate OT’s work on sexual health with individuals with intellectual disabilities in day-centres and adult habilitation. Method: A quantitative survey study where 30 OT’s were recruited via nonrandom convenience selection and snowball selection. Quantitative data were analyzed with
Aim: The risk for language disorder is high in children with all levels of hearing loss (HL). Early identification and intervention should be as important for children with mild HL as for those with more severe HL. Despite new-born hearing screening, a recent survey of speech language therapist services in southern Sweden indicates that children with mild and moderate HL are severely neglected whe
How the avian sex chromosomes first evolved from autosomes remains elusive as 100 million years (My) of divergence and degeneration obscure their evolutionary history. The Sylvioidea group of songbirds is interesting for understanding avian sex chromosome evolution because a chromosome fusion event ∼24 Ma formed "neo-sex chromosomes" consisting of an added (new) and an ancestral (old) part. Here,
Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials and observational studies assessing outcomes of different endovascular management approaches for the treatment of acute lower limb ischaemia (ALI) when adjusted for Rutherford classification. Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Review Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed
Background: The study of emotion regulation (ER) has gained traction in forensic psychological and psychiatric research as a correlate of antisocial and aggressive behavior as well as for its relevance to psychopathology. However, conceptual and definitional ambiguity persists. Methods: This pre-registered systematic review aimed to investigate how ER is conceptualized and measured in forensic pop
Att läsa Mario Vargas Llosas Staden och hundarna är en utmaning för svenska universitetsstudenter som läser spanska som främmande språk, men trots detta visar kursutvärderingar att de tenderar att uppskatta upplevelsen. Denna studie fokuserar på att utforska studenternas läsprocess och deras reaktioner på texten genom ett läsloggprojekt. Felskis (2008) kategorier igenkänning, kunskap, förtrollning
The aim of this study is to examine which attributes supervisors find most attractive when employing a new colleague. The dissertation was carried out through interviewing seven supervisors within social work, all of whom were searching for a new team member. The word employability has, in this study become central and relates to something that can make a person more or less employable. It also in
Background and objective: Patients diagnosed with grade group (GG) 1 prostate cancer (PCa) following treatment for benign disease (“incidental” PCa) are typically managed with active surveillance (AS). It is not known how their outcomes compare with those observed in patients diagnosed with GG1 on biopsy. We aimed at determining whether long-term oncologic outcomes of AS for patients with GG1 PCa
BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) carries prognostic importance after traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially when computed tomography (CT) fails to fully explain the level of unconsciousness. However, in critically ill patients, the risk of deterioration during transfer needs to be balanced against the benefit of detecting prognostically relevant information on MRI. We therefore aimed
Pimavanserin was the first US Food and Drug Administration approved antipsychotic drug that does not block D2 dopamine receptors at therapeutic doses. Pimavanserin is a selective 5-HT2A receptor inverse agonist that reduces the frequency of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson disease. Despite these attributes, pimavanserin prolongs the QT interval at therapeutic doses, limiting
BACKGROUND: Sacroiliac joint pain is increasingly recognized as a cause of low back pain. We compared the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive sacroiliac joint arthrodesis using triangular titanium implants and conservative management in patients with chronic sacroiliac joint pain. METHODS: This study was a prospective, multicenter randomized controlled trial of adults with chronic sacro

Cell‐based therapy for Parkinson's disease: A journey through decades toward the light side of the Force Eur J Neurosci. 2018;1–9. | 1wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/ejn 1 | INTRODUCTION It was with great sadness that we all received the news about Tom’s passing. He was a force for good in the Parkinson’s disease (PD) community and he will be greatly missed. For Tom, nothing was too serious
