The primary aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of lithium associated end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and to compare the relative risk of ESRD in lithium users versus non-lithium users. Second, the role of lithium in the pathogenesis of ESRD was evaluated. We used the Swedish Renal Registry to search for lithium-treated patients with ESRD among 2644 patients with chronic renal replacem
Agricultural intensification has contributed substantially to the increase in food production, but has come at the expense of soil degradation and environmental problems. Management of soil based ecosystem services need to be considered in agricultural management since intensive management implies not only costs to the farmer but also to society. In this study we used data from four long-term (55
The aims of the study were to define the frequency, outcome and reasons for prenatal diagnosis (PND) in Sweden during a 30-year period in order to study trends and changes. The study population, from the Swedish nationwide registry of PND of haemophilia, consisted of 54 women, compromising >95% of all, who underwent PND (n = 90) of haemophilia during 1977-2013. PND was performed by amniocentesis (
Climate reconstructions from data sensitive to past climates provide estimates of what these climates were like. Comparing these reconstructions with simulations from climate models allows to validate the models used for future climate prediction. It has been shown that for fossil pollen data, gaining estimates by inverting a vegetation model allows inclusion of past changes in carbon dioxide valu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kemister kallas de, som förstå att utreda hwad hwarje sak består utaf, och huru man af beståndsdelarne må kunna sammansätta nya ämnen. Kunskapen härom kallas Kemi. Den största Kemisten war wår landsman Jacob Berzelius, som föddes 1779 i Wäfwersunda i Östergötland och dog i Stockholm 1848. Så skriver N. J. Berlin i sin Läsebok i Naturläran för Sweriges AllmogeThe rapid developments within the life science and biotechnology areas put up ever-new demands on more sophisticated techniques and methods for chemical and biological analysis to reach deeper insight into the events at molecular level. Miniaturisation of assays and systems on microchips is one way to increase throughput and advance through parallel analysis lines, multiplexing and integration. Th
Background: Venous and arterial thrombotic complications exhibit a seasonal variation, with risk peaking in winter and dropping to a nadir in summer. We sought a possible correlation between sun exposure habits and venous thromboembolism (VTE) events. Methods: This was a cohort study comprising 40 000 women (1000 per year of age from 25 to 64 years) who were drawn from the southern Swedish populat
The aim of the study was to assess plasma volume (PV) and red cell volume (RCV) in preterm infants with a liquid chromatographic hemoglobin subtype method (HbST) based on dilution of autologous fetal hemoglobin (HbF) by donor adult hemoglobin and measurement of the amount of HbF. PV determination with the indocyanine green dye dilution technique (ICG) was used as a reference method. Eight infants,
This chapter examines the relevance of ideas developed by Petrazycki and Ehrlich to the current concerns of the sociology of law. It starts by briefly describing the academic and political contexts in which these ideas were born. Then it goes on to present some aspects of the theories of Petrazycki and Ehrlich and to examine their imprints on empirical research. The final part of the chapter bring
The first low-energy Coulomb-excitation measurement of the radioactive, semi-magic, two proton-hole nucleus 206Hg, was performed at CERN's recently-commissioned HIE-ISOLDE facility. Two γ rays depopulating low-lying states in 206Hg were observed. From the data, a reduced transition strength B(E2; 2+1 → 0+1) = 4.4(6) W.u. was determined, the first such value for an N=126 nucleus south of 208Pb, whi
This chapter exemplifies rodent models of Parkinson's disease that have been used in transplantation studies and recounts basic transplantation methods. It describes morphological features of grafts containing dopamine neurons and focuses on the role of nigral grafts that are implanted homotopically in the mesencephalon, for example, near their location in the normal brain. The neurotoxin 6-hydrox
This paper addresses coherence at the levels of policy objectives and instruments. The existing literature usually links policy coherence to strong hierarchical coordination mechanisms. This paper builds on two cases of, respectively, hierarchical imposition and deliberation within the European Commission (the step‐up to a 30% greenhouse gas reduction target on the one hand, and the energy efficie
Epilepsy is a complex disorder affecting the central nervous system and is characterised by spontaneously recurring seizures (SRSs). Epileptic patients undergo symptomatic pharmacolog-ical treatments, however, in 30% of cases, they are ineffective, mostly in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. Therefore, there is a need for developing novel treatment strategies. Transplantation of cells releasin
RATIONALE: This study aimed to explore whether a computer-based training in eating and nutrition for hospital nursing staff can influence the precision in nutritional treatment and care.METHOD: A pre-intervention and post-intervention study was conducted with a cross-sectional design at each time point. The settings were one intervention (IH) and two control hospitals (CH1 and CH2). Hospital inpat
The ratio of production cross sections of the W and Z bosons with exactly one associated jet is presented as a function of jet transverse momentum threshold. The measurement has been designed to maximise cancellation of experimental and theoretical uncertainties, and is reported both within a particle-level kinematic range corresponding to the detector acceptance and as a total cross-section ratio
The current environmental problems are continuously getting worse, and as structural and societal change demand a relatively large time period to prove successful, the need for the individual to engage in pro-environmental behavior is as crucial as it is important. In this study we sought to appeal to individuals’ environmental concerns by using two different framings of an environmental cause in
International trade has been put forth by the EU as Africa’s most significant opportunity for economic development. Yet, challenges for African exports to the EU persist. This bachelor’s thesis explores the challenges faced by small businesses importing African products in Malmö and Lund, Sweden. It does so through interviews with stakeholders involved in the import process: owners of shops import
En slitsmur är en geokonstruktion som utförs genom att paneler platsgjuts med marken som form. Panelerna bildar tillsammans en samverkande vägg. Tekniken är vanlig utomlands men fortfarande relativt ovanlig i Sverige. Behovet, och därmed intresset, av slitsmurar i Sverige växer dock i takt med förtätningen av städer och infrastrukturprojekt som kräver djup schaktning och anläggning. Kraven på låg A diaphragm wall is a retaining wall which is produced as a cast in-situ concrete wall. The ground itself acts as formwork. The technique is widely used internationally but it is comparably still a rare technique in Sweden. However, the need, and therefore interest in Sweden for diaphragm walls is growing as the number of inner city infrastructure projects requiring deep excavations increases. The
I dagens samhälle används stora mängder vatten som måste renas innan det släpps tillbaka ut i naturen. Rening av vattnet sker i avloppsreningsverk som ska minska mängden organiskt material och mängden näringsämnen i vattnet innan det släpps ut. Om vattnet inte renas finns det en risk för negativ påverkan på sjöar och vattendrag, t.ex. övergödning. Fosfor är ett av de näringsämnen som finns i avlWastewater is an excellent source of nutrients and energy. By treating the wastewater in a clever way, it is possible to both recycle nutrients and recover energy, and thereby create opportunities for a sustainable system. In conventional wastewater treatment where the activated sludge process is used, aeration is needed and a lot of biomass is produced. In regions with warmer climate, or if low-v
