Objective. To study the relationship between inflammation, diabetes and HbA(1)c levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Design. Single-centre cross-sectional study comprising 688 consecutive patients with ACS (108 with diabetes) and 341 with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) (51 with diabetes). High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), albumin and fibrinogen concentrations, ery
Protein E (PE) is a ubiquitous multifunctional surface protein of Haemophilus spp. and other bacterial pathogens of the Pasteurellaceae family. H. influenzae utilizes PE for attachment to respiratory epithelial cells. In addition, PE interacts directly with plasminogen and the extracellular matrix (ECM) components vitronectin and laminin. Vitronectin is a complement regulator that inhibits the for
Abstract Aim: To investigate trends in mortality and morbidity in very preterm infants. Methods: Population-based perinatal register; liveborn infants 22 + 0 to 31 + 6 gestational weeks were investigated (time period 1995-2004). Time trends for mortality and common morbidities were explored using logistic regression analyses. Results: Data from 1614 liveborn infants were included. There was an inc

he nearby meadows during a number of days, in order to increase the production. During 1991 it has been tested, in two places in Scania (the southernmost part of Sweden), as a system for removing nitrogen from river water. The nitrogen removal measured through mass balance budget is compared with directly measured plant uptake and denitrification. At the first site, Vombs ängar near Vombsjön, wher
Background: The link between colorectal cancer (CRC) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has been extensively studied. Although it is commonly accepted that T2D is a risk factor for CRC, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Research Design and Methods:Given that the genetic background contributes to both traits, it is conceivable that genetic variants associated with T2D may also
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vår värld drivs av förbränning. Från den lilla elden som används vid matlagning till gigantiska gasturbiner och kolkraftverk som genererar en stor del av all elektricitet. Dessutom så drivs nästan alla fordon av förbränningsmotorer. Det har uppskattats att över nittio procent av alla energi vi i världen omvandlar kommer från förbränning i någon form. Det är således ganHigh repetition rate laser diagnostics has proven to be a useful tool for studying combustion phenomena. Laser techniques are, in general, relatively non-intrusive and have the potential to measure specific species at very low concentrations and with extremely high temporal resolution. However, most laser systems in this field of research are limited to repetition rates below 100 Hz, and are thus
"Göteborgskravallerna skadade demonstranters demokratisyn". I Göteborgskravallerna för, i dag, fem år sedan deltog en stor grupp mycket politiskt engagerade unga människor. De förlorade sin tro på det politiska systemet, skriver en grupp forskare. Den globala rättviserörelsens aktivister är betydligt mer politiskt aktiva än befolkningen som helhet och har högre valdeltagande, skriver forskarna so
Putative biomarkers of gemcitabine response have been extensively studied in pancreatic cancer, but less so in other types of periampullary adenocarcinoma. The most studied biomarker is human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1), and the activating enzyme deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) has also been linked to treatment response. The RNA-binding protein human antigen R (HuR) has been demonstr
The function of the immune system requires coordinated expression and action of many genes and proteins. With the emergence of high throughput technologies it has become possible to target human immunity from a systems biology point of view. To perform systems biology studies with comparable results we need not just a reference gene and protein set but also useful and descriptive reference categor
