Description of the platformIn the last decade it has become clear that the underlying disease pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) start to accumulate several decades before onset of overt symptoms. We can now use biomarkers to reliably detect these disease pathologies (e.g., amyloid-beta, tau and alpha-synuclein) even during pre-symptomatic and prodromal phases of
Background: Erysipelas is a common infection that often reoccurs, but only a few studies have investigated risk factors for recurrent episodes. How the natural course of events in the infection corresponds to the inflammatory signs is not well described. Objective: The aim of this study was to indentify risk factors for recurrent erysipelas and the possibility to study the course of events
Like many other terns, European Sandwich Terns (Thalasseus sandvicensis) exhibit a period of post-breeding dispersal before migrating to their wintering grounds in Africa. In order to understand the significance of Danish waters for these movements, I analysed the post-breeding phenology of Sandwich Terns at nine roosting sites and determined their overall distribution throughout Denmark by using
In the following study a collection of almost 300 travelogues from the second half of the 19th century is investigated. The travellers were technicians in the sense that they were technically knowledgeable and skilled individuals. The technicians, most of them skilled workers, travelled through the industrialised countries in Europe as well as the United States. During their travels they worked in

Background: As the volume of surgical cases in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) increases, surgical-site infections (SSIs) are becoming more prevalent with anecdotal evidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), despite a paucity of data on resistance patterns. Objectives: As a primary objective, this prospective study aimed to describe the epidemiology of SSIs and the associated AMR among wo
Background: Most antidepressant treatment studies have included patients strictly based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders definition of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Given the heterogeneity of MDD, this approach may have obscured inter-patient differences and hampered the development of novel and targeted treatment strategies. An alternative strategy is to use bioma
Background and aim: Neuropathic pain arises as a direct consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory system. Pharmacological treatments for neuropathic pain often fail despite following guidelines. Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Programs (IPRP) are an effective intervention for chronic pain conditions. Little research has investigated whether IPRP can benefit patients with
Background: Some legacy and emerging environmental contaminants are suspected risk factors for intrauterine growth restriction. However, the evidence is equivocal, in part due to difficulties in disentangling the effects of mixtures. Objectives: We assessed associations between multiple correlated biomarkers of environmental exposure and birth weight. Methods: We evaluated a cohort of 1,250 term (
This thesis is an empirical and theoretical exploration of the surprising finding that people often may fail to notice dramatic mismatches between what they want and what they get, a phenomenon my collaborators and I have named choice blindness. The thesis consists of four co-authored papers, dealing with different aspects of the phenomenon. Paper one presents an initial set of studies using a co
Aim. The aim of this paper was to evaluate short-term outcome of the use of endoanchors to secure the primary migrated endograft and additional extender cuffs to the aortic wall in patients with previous failed endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. Methods. Consecutive patients who needed proximal repair of a primary failed endograft due to migration (with or without type IA endoleaks) were treated
Popular Abstract in English Insects, birds, bats and pterosaurs have all evolved the ability to fly, even though it requires a lot of energy. The advantage is obvious: one can move about vertically, to go where others cannot, find and access distant food sources or escape your predators. But flying is also a very fast mode of transportation, and when you count the amount of energy required to get Flight is an expensive form of locomotion, but also offers the ability to travel great distances at relatively low cost. Birds have developed various adaptations for optimizing flight performance. The main aim of this thesis is to identify how morphological variables in birds affect aerodynamic drag and flight performance. To this end I studied the aerodynamic performance of a jackdaw (Corvus mone
OBJECTIVE: The Swedish Early Psoriatic Arthritis Register describes the course of early psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in a real life clinical setting in Sweden. The aim of this study was to obtain information on predictors of clinical outcomes over a 5-year period with special focus on effects of gender, joint patterns, diagnostic delay and initial disease activity. METHODS: In six centres, patients w
We counted butterflies in almost all open grasslands in an area of 8000 hectare over five years (2001-2005) in the central part of the parish of Stenbrohult, southern Sweden (Fig. 1; 56 degrees 37' N, 14 degrees 11' O). This area is currently dominated by forests. Grasslands, mainly grazed by cattle and horses, only cover about 6 % of the area. The study area consisted of 18 farms, most ot them ar
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: More knowledge is needed about patterns of healthcare consumption at different times during old age, particularly with regard to the relationship between various agents in the healthcare and social services system. One aim was to investigate healthcare costs in the public medical healthcare system in men and women (65+) and, with regard to age, in the two years prior to the st
It is well established that floral odours play a significant role in the nectar foraging behaviour in Lepidoptera and other insect orders. Floral odour may elicit searching, alighting and feeding behaviours alone or in concert with visual stimuli. The goal of the present project was to investigate attractiveness of different species of flowers to the silver Y moth, to identify constituents of vola
