A simple method is tested for scaling climate-extreme results from high resolution regional climate models (RCMs) to time-periods and emission scenarios for which the RCMs have not been run. The 30 yr mean relationships between indicators of extremes (IoEs) and annual mean daily maximum temperature (T-xa) are investigated. Such relationships from the UK Met Office Hadley Centre RCM HadRM3P, along
BACKGROUND: Global haemostatic tests are often abnormal in critically ill patients, secondary to activation or consumption of coagulation factors or inhibitors. Methods for analysing plasma levels of these factors are, however, not widely available, and the predictive value of global tests is not known. We examined the clinical applicability to predict the outcome of the global haemostatic tests u
Screening of 29 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae revealed that 16/21 serum resistant strains and 0/8 serum sensitive strains bound C4bp. suggesting that C4bp binding to gonococci could contribute to serum resistance. C4bp bound to gonococci retained cofactor (C4b-degrading) function. Using allelic exchange to construct strains with hybrid Por1A/B molecules, we demonstrate that the N-terminal loop
Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether relative qualitative and quantitative differences in protein expression could be related to smoke exposure or smoke-induced airway inflammation. We therefore explored and characterized the protein components found in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid sampled from either lifelong smokers or never-smokers. Methods: BAL fluid samples obtaine
Objective. To measure the effect of low-dose systemic glucocorticoid treatment on the adrenal response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. Patients with RA who took part in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of budesonide (3 mg/day and 9 mg/day) and prednisolone (7.5 mg/day) underwent a short (60-minute) test with injection of
Objective: To compare guidelines from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) based on the Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) with a protocol based on logistic regression model LR2 developed by the International Ovarian Tumour Analysis (IOTA) group for triaging women with an ovarian mass as low, moderate, or high risk of malignancy. Design and setting Observational diagnostic stud
Objective: An association between small for gestational age (SGA) and risk for celiac disease (CD) in childhood has previously been reported. However, this association may reflect residual confounding by genetic or environmental factors. For example, presence of subclinical CD in the mother might be a common cause of both SGA and CD in the offspring. We investigate whether SGA is causally associat
Many studies have reported an increased incidence of inhibitors in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with severe haemophilia A after the introduction of recombinant products. It was the objective of this study to investigate whether the inhibitor incidence has increased between 1990 and 2009 in an unselected cohort of PUPs with severe haemophilia A (FVIII<1 %). Patients were consecutively recru
BACKGROUND: The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors and establish the proportion of people with psychosis meeting criteria for the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The study also aimed to identify the key lifestyle behaviours associated with increased risk of the MetS and to investigate whether the MetS is associated with illness severity and degree of func
AIM: Physical performance in chronic kidney disease affects morbidity and mortality. The aim was to find out which measures of physical performance are important in CKD and if there are associations with declining measured GFR.METHODS: Endurance was assessed by 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) and stair climbing, muscular endurance by 30-seconds sit to stand, heel rises and toe lifts, strength by quadri
Background/aim: Exertional breathlessness is a dominating symptom in cardiorespiratory disease, limiting exercise capacity. Multidimensional measurement has been proposed to capture breathlessness, but it is unknown whether it is useful to differentiate people with abnormal vs normal exertional breathlessness intensity. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial of out
Background and objective The Scania Accelerated Intermittent Theta-burst Implementation Study (SATIS) aimed to investigate the tolerability, preliminary effectiveness, and practical feasibility of an accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aTBS) protocol in treating depression. Methods We used an open-label observational design, recruiting 20 patients (aged 19–84 years) from two public b
Two different food grade functionalised porous calcium carbonates (FCC), with different pore size and pore size distributions, were characterised and used as carrier materials to increase the dissolution rate of poorly soluble flavouring compounds in aqueous solution. The loading level was varied between 1.3% by weight (wt%) and 35 wt%, where the upper limit of 35 wt% was the total maximum loading
Objective: Following the favorable outcomes demonstrated by the Early MiNimally-invasive Removal of IntraCerebral Hemorrhage (ENRICH) trial in supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS), and considering the increasing interest in MIS, we aimed to assess the potential eligibility rate for ICH patients in Sweden. Methods: All patients with sp

All viruses are composed of both genetic material and a capsid. The capsid is composed by identical protein subunits and the purpose is protection of the genetic material, in this case RNA. This project is about cowpea chlorotic mottle virus, also called CCMV, which is a plant virus and the disassembly and reassembly mechanisms of the capsid are investigated to understand how the capsid proteins a
Synnerligen grov misshandel är en brottstyp som introducerades i svensk straffrätt år 2010, detta efter att regeringen uttryckt att straffskärpningar behövdes då man inte ansåg att de utdömda straffen var proportionerliga i förhållande till brottets allvar. Flertalet fall har sedermera hamnat i HD och hovrätterna och en praxis har skapats kring vad brottet innebär. Stort fokus läggs på hänsynslöshExceptional aggravated assault is a crime which was introduced to Swedish criminal law in 2010. The reason behind this was the fact that the Swedish government believed that harsher punishments were needed due to the fact that they were not proportional in comparison to the seriousness of the crime. Regarding what is to be considered as exceptional aggravated assault, the courts tend to focus on t
Byggnationen av bostadshus med trästomme har enligt Statistiska centralbyrån ökat med 85% efter den senast lägsta uppmätningen 2011. Statistiska centralbyrån menar också att det är bostadshus bestående av 4-8 våningar som byggs mest i Sverige idag. Av denna statistik förutspås det bli en ökning av efterfrågan på bostadshus med 4-8 våningar med trästomme inom den närmsta framtiden. Tillsammans meThe construction of residential buildings with timber as load-bearing system has according to Statistics Sweden increased with 85% since 2011, which is the latest low point of the collected data. Statistics Sweden also shows how residential buildings consisting of 4-8 storeys are, in Sweden, the most built type of house today. Of these statistics, 4-8- storey residential buildings made with timber
Popular Abstract in Swedish Njurfunktion inom hjärtkirurgi Akut njursvikt (AKI) efter hjärtkirurgi är en allvarlig komplikation som förekommer i 25-35 % av alla patientfall. AKI medför förhöjd risk för allvarliga komplikationer och död efter hjärtkirurgi. Ett stort fokus ligger på detektion, prevention och behandling av AKI och forskningsfältet uppdateras kontinuerligt. En rad olika läkemedel har Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication after cardiothoracic surgery and is associated with increased short- and long-term mortality risk. Despite extensive studies in the field, a comprehensive understanding of this syndrome has remained elusive, partly due to divergent definitions of AKI and partly due to the limitations of available routine biomarkers to predict,
