Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa are characterised by informal transportation services compensating for the lack of institutionalised transportation system. In Kampala, Uganda, the vast army of boda-boda (boda) motorcycle taxis have proliferated through the city, with passengers and/or cargo goods straddled behind the boda drivers as they navigate through the city’s congested and dilapidated roads. De

Several psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder (MDD), are associated with increased blood markers of oxidative stress. The relevance of this to the oxidation-sensitive hippocampus (HC) is unknown. We investigated the relationship between peripheral oxidative stress markers and HC volume in unmedicated individuals with MDD (n=16) and healthy controls (n=19). To conserve power, o

Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). TREM2 plays a critical role in microglial activation, survival, and phagocytosis; however, the pathophysiological role of sTREM2 in AD is not well understood. Understanding the role of sTREM2 in AD may reveal new pathological mechanisms and lead to the iSoluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

In order to qualify a subscriber loops for xDSL transmission, basic parameters like transfer function, scattering parameter S11 and characteristic impedance should be known. The aim of this paper is to present a test methodology for measurements of these basic parameters. The characteristic impedance is measured by open/short method and it is compared with the terminated measurement method defined

OBJECTIVES: To describe the outcome of growth-restricted fetuses with absent or reversed end-diastolic flow (ARED) in the umbilical artery delivered on fetal indication before 30 gestational weeks.METHODS: Between 1998 and 2004, 42 fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and ARED in the umbilical artery were delivered liveborn by Cesarean section on fetal indication before 30 gestation

PURPOSE: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) patients and their physicians currently face challenging treatment decisions with limited information about the individual's subsequent breast cancer risk or treatment benefit. The DCISionRT biological signature developed in this study provides recurrence risk and predicts radiotherapy (RT) benefit for DCIS patients following breast-conserving surgery (BCS)

AIM: We aimed to study the importance of erbB2 status in early stage postmenopausal breast cancer for patients who participated in a trial of five vs. two years of adjuvant tamoxifen.PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analysed the erbB2 status of the tumours from 577 patients participating in the trial, either by a DNA amplification assay (n = 181) or by measurement of the protein level with flow cytometry

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is the preferred treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal carcinoma. Patients with positive lymph node status have worse survival after CRS-HIPEC, which is probably due to higher rates of systemic failure. In this study, we analysed the effect of administration and timing of systemic chemot

BackgroundIn the splice variant factor (F)V-Short, 702 residues are deleted from the B domain, resulting in exposure of an acid region (AR2; 1493-1537) that binds TFPIα. FV-Short and protein S serve as synergistic TFPIα cofactors in inhibition of FXa. In the preAR2 region, a hydrophobic patch PLVIVGL (1481-1487) is crucial for synergistic TFPIα-cofactor activity and assembly of FV-Short, TFPIα, an

PURPOSE: The local immune infiltrate's influence on tumor progression may be closely linked to tumor-intrinsic factors. The study aimed to investigate whether integrating immunologic and tumor-intrinsic factors can identify patients from a low-risk cohort who may be candidates for radiotherapy (RT) de-escalation.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The SweBCG91RT trial included 1,178 patients with stage I to IIA

This research investigates the gender dimension of the impacts of access to clean and modern energy and technology in productive uses of energy. Rural organizations led by women supported by the EnDev project Bolivia were selected for a multi-site case study. This project aims to facilitate clean and modern energy access, create and strengthen rural markets, and alleviate poverty. The energy justi

Det är endast svenska medborgare som innehar en ovillkorlig rätt att vistas i Sverige. Motsatsvis åtnjuter utländska medborgare inte denna rättighet. Om en utlänning begår brott innanför Sveriges gränser kan denne, vid sidan av brottspåföljden, även utvisas ifrån riket kombinerat med ett återreseförbud som varar en viss tid eller livstid. Utvisning är således inte en brottspåföljd i lagens mening,Only Swedish citizens have an unconditional right to reside in Sweden. Conversely, foreign nationals do not enjoy this right. If a foreigner commits a crime within the borders of Sweden, they may, in addition to the criminal penalty, also be deported from the country, combined with a re-entry ban lasting a certain period of time or a lifetime. Deportation is thus not considered a criminal penalty

Connected to the ongoing global challenges relating to soil fertility loss and food security, there has been a recent upswing of alternative management practices (AMPs) within the agricultural sector. These methods are often focused on maximising soil health by safeguarding the below ground ecosystem and by increasing soil organic content. Consequently, AMPs tend to build resilience towards distur
