Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a non-invasive, non-dye-based imaging modality that has the potential to enhance our understanding of retinal diseases. While this rapidly advancing imaging modality offers great potential, there is a need for community-wide understanding of the range of technologies and methods for interpreting the images, as well as a need to enhance understand
Glutamatergic transmission is an important factor in the development of neuronal death following transient cerebral ischemia. In this investigation the effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA receptor antagonists on neuronal damage were studied in rats exposed to 10 min of transient cerebral ischemia induced by bilateral common carotid occlusion combined with hypotension. The animals w
Background: While patient performance after participating in cardiac rehabilitation programmes after acute myocardial infarction is regularly reported through registry and survey data, information on cardiac rehabilitation programme characteristics is less well described. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate Swedish cardiac rehabilitation programme characteristics and adherence to European G
I den här studien används extremvärdesanalys för att beräkna våguppspolning och årlig dynerosion med 10, 50, och 100 års återkomsttid. Frekvensanalysen baseras på en 40 år lång tidsserie med simulerad dynerosion och våguppspolning från Ängelholms strand i Skälderviken. Med SMB-metoden beräknas vågor ute till havs som sedan transformeras till kustnära vågor i vågmodellen SWAN. Våguppspolningen berä
The element silicon is everywhere! In fact, silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust. Silicon in rocks and minerals breaks down and is transported from rivers and streams into the world’s oceans. Many marine organisms need silicon as it is a crucial nutrient to build their skeletons. Silicon eventually reaches the seafloor, but its journey into the abyss is not straightforward
Vad är det som överlåts vid en transaktion avseende fast egendom? Ofta vållarden frågan inte några svårigheter att besvara och innebörden framgår vanligtvis tydligt av såväl köpeavtal som köpebrev. Men vad gäller i det fall parternainte tillräckligt tydligt har formulerat köpeobjektet i avtalet, om parterna inte äröverens om vad som ingår i överlåtelsen eller om formuleringarna ser olika ut iköpea
Aims: Iron deficiency (ID) is comorbid in up to 50% patients with heart failure (HF) and exacerbates disease burden. Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) reduced HF hospitalizations and improved quality of life when used to treat ID at discharge in patients hospitalized for acute HF with left ventricular ejection fraction <50% in the AFFIRM-AHF trial. We quantified the effect of FCM on burden of disease an
Ecogeographical rules, describing common trends in animal form across space and time, have provided key insights into the primary factors driving species diversity on our planet. Among the most well-known ecogeographical rules are Bergmann's rule and Allen's rule, with each correlating ambient temperature to the size and shape of endotherms within a species. In recent years, these two rules have a
University teachers funded to engage in educational development projects have been found to become increasingly engaged in the scholarship of teaching and learning. However, research also points to obstacles such as departmental culture, lack of support from management, and unhelpful administrative processes. In this study, I interview university teachers and their heads of departments in an educa
Dataflow is a Model of Computation (MoC) that describes applications as networks of actors. The CAL Actor Language (CAL) is one of the programming languages for describing such actors. A downside to CAL is that the actors and their networks are rigidly defined - it is not possible to have a parametric number of ports or actions in an actor. This makes it difficult to define flexible applications o
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the legal issues relating to cruise ship passenger contracts, their nature and salient features, parties to the contract and their rights and obligations. Claims arising out of passenger carriage subject to applicable law and contracts containing standard terms and conditions are addressed. It is rare for passengers to examine the terms and conditions of t
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has shown similar or improved clinical outcomes compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at low risk for surgical mortality. This cost-utility analysis compared TAVI with SAPIEN 3 versus SAVR in symptomatic severe aortic stenosis patients at low risk of surgical mortality fr
Machine Learning (ML) applications shape, and are shaped by, human values. In the last decade classificatory models have become the most widely applied type of ML. However, since the invention of Generative Adverserial Networks (GANs) in 2014, the field of generative ML is likely to become equally prolific in the years to come. GANs can generate convincing fakes of video footage, pictures, graphic
One of the most important routes to employment within the social welfare sector worldwide is higher education, which equips students not only with the knowledge for employment, but with the tools to use and build on this knowledge. During the last few decades there has been an academic drift in professional education, especially for many shorter professional programmes. Many of these shorter progr
Under de senaste åren har flera författare granskat de kliniska resultaten av Electro Enhanced Chemotherapy:• Elektrokemoterapi för primär hudcancer och hudmetastas i samband med andra maligniteter (Reinhold, 2011).• Utnyttjande av elektrokemoterapi vid behandling av melanom (Testori et al., 2012).• Antitumörverkan av elektrokemoterapi: En systematisk granskning och meta-analys (Mali et al., 2013)In recent years several authors have reviewed the clinical results of Electro Enhanced Chemotherapy: • Electro-chemotherapy for primary skin cancer and skin metastasis related to other malignancies (Reinhold, 2011). • Utility of electro-chemotherapy in melanoma treatment (Testori et al., 2012).• Antitumor effectiveness of electro-chemotherapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis (Mali et al., 20
