OBJECTIVE: Imaging follow-up (FU) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is usually performed by periodic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of CT-FU after EVAR. METHODS: In this study, 279 of 304 consecutive patients (261 male, aged 74 years (interquartile range (IQR): 70-79 years) with a median abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diamet
Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the strong triple bond inN2. The active site contains a complicated MoFe7S9C cluster. It is believed that itneeds to accept four protons and electrons, forming the E4 state, before it can bind N2.However, there is no consensus on the atomic structure of the E4 state. Experimentalstudies indicate that it should contain two hydride ions bridging two pai
Labour is said to be obstructed when the presenting part fails to descend through the birth canal despite strong uterine contractions. The condition is mostly prevalent in low-income countries where the main causes are cephalopelvic disproportion and malpresentation. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the individual, community and health system factors associated with obstructed lab
IntroductionGovernment and public agencies in Sweden have promoted the expansion of eHealth. The strategy behind many of the eHealth services is to increase quality of care, enhance efficiency, patient empowerment and patient safety. Patient online access to their electronic health record (EHR) is one of the most important civic eHealth services. By 2017, all patients in Sweden will be able to acc
Background: To the best of our knowledge, no research of the work situation of full-time, paid, parental HC assistants has been done. Aim: To examine how parents experienced their work as HC assistants for their chronic disabled child. Methods: Semi-structured interviews based on the Work Environment Impact Scale (WEIS-S) were done with nine mothers who had a child aged 8-17 years old with a cogni

The aim of this thesis was to study nurse assistants’ experience of palliative care and to investigate how an intervention with a focus on a palliative care approach in residential care facilities influenced the nurse assistants and their work situation. The thesis is based on two qualitative and two quantitative studies, focusing on nurse assistants working at residential care facilities for olde
A considerable amount of mineral particles are found to have a plate-like shape. The work in this thesis concerns theoretical investigations, using Monte Carlo method, of the properties of such particles in aqueous solutions. The objectives were first to create a model that could capture the essential physics of clay suspensions and also to understand the role of thermodynamics in certain chemical

In astrophysics, the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ describes the circumstellar habitable zone, in which planets, sufficiently similar to Earth, could support human life. The children’s story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, one of the most popular fairy tales in the English language, uses this metaphor to describe conditions for life that are neither too hot nor too cold and neither too close to the sun nor
In this commentary, I will review the latest findings on the Bicoid (Bcd) morphogen in Drosophila, a paradigm for gradient formation taught to biology students for more than two decades. "Seeing is believing" also summarizes the erroneous steps that were needed to elucidate the mechanisms of gradient formation and the path of movement of Bcd. Initially proclaimed as a dogma in 1988 and later incor
Lateralized behaviours are widespread among the animals, including insects with their miniature brains, perhaps being a way of maximising neural capacity (reviewed in [1,2]). However, evidence for functional asymmetries in the neural circuitry itself is scarce. Here, using bilateral simultaneous recordings from the ex vivo nervous system of desert locusts, we show that the neural control of their
Although treaty abuse is an increasingly occurring element in international legal arguments, especially in the sphere of international economic law, the concept is still viewed by many lawyers as suspicious, for several reasons. First, lawyers have doubts about the legal status of the treaty abuse doctrine. Second, as many lawyers would seem to believe, the concept of treaty abuse is imprecise-it
Risk of breast cancer is temporarily elevated shortly after pregnancy and the available limited data suggest that a family history of breast cancer may reinforce the risk. We used the nation-wide Swedish Family-Cancer Database to estimate the relative risk (RR) for invasive breast cancer following childbirth among women with or without a family history. The RRs were defined using Poisson regressio
Objective: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease with no cure and is characterized by deranged epithelial repair, myofibroblast activation, and excess deposition of extracellular matrix. Yes associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-regulator with PDZ-binding domain(TAZ), co-transcriptional activators of the Hippo pathway and proto-oncogenes, were recently found to be
