Main recommendations: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the standard of care for the complete removal of large (≥ 10mm) nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs). Increased detection of LNPCPs owing to screening colonoscopy, plus high observed rates of incomplete resection and need for surgery call for a standardized approach to training in EMR. 1 Trainees in EMR should have achieved basic co
Objective: Previous work suggested that the ultrasound-based benign Simple Descriptors can reliably exclude malignancy in a large proportion of women presenting with an adnexal mass. We aim to validate a modified version of the Benign Simple Descriptors (BD), and we introduce a two-step strategy to estimate the risk of malignancy: if the BDs do not apply, the ADNEX model is used to estimate the ri
Many factors influence the language environment in preschool, for example, the language background and competence of the teachers, children's ages, language proficiency levels and language backgrounds, the access to play and learning materials and the composition of preschool groups. There is a lack of knowledge on how various aspects of the interactive language environment in preschool relate to
This chapter focuses on how to apply salutogenesis in practice in the context of health care, especially when designing interventions. The foundation for implementation is to understand and apply the core principles of salutogenesis and health promotion, hereby building capacity and strength in all involved, i.e.: the patients, participants, health professionals and relatives. The key salutogenic
COVID-19 is a severe respiratory disease affecting millions worldwide, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) is a vasoactive hormone regulating the endothelial barrier and has been associated with COVID-19 mortality and other adverse events. This prospective cohort pilot study included 119 consecutive patients with verified SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to two inten
Objectives: Posttransplant infections may lead to dire consequences in immunocompromised organ recipients. Oral foci of infection are therefore often eliminated prior to solid organ transplantation to reduce posttransplant morbidity. However, despite increasing numbers of organ transplantations the necessity of pretransplant dental treatment and its effect on transplant outcome remains uncertain.
When discussing choice of methodology in evaluation studies, it is wise to reflect upon organizational considerations concerning contracting, conducting and utilization. Based upon research conducted among social workers in Sweden this paper focuses upon possibilities and problems in knowledge dissemination and usage. Powerful institutions in Sweden are now encouraging knowledge development of soc

I sydvästra Skåne består berggrunden huvudsakligen av kalkberg som överlagras av en fast lermorän. Kalkberget skiljer sig från andra bergarter genom sin relativt låga hållfasthet och sin ofta uppspruckna struktur. Detta resulterar i att kalkberg i många fall klassas som mjukt berg. Dessa egenskaper påverkar dimensioneringen av stödkonstruktioner, dess nedslagningsdjup samt de lasteffekter som utveIn the southwestern part of Skåne, the bedrock consists mainly of limestone, followed by sedimentary soils. Limestone differs from other rock types due to its relatively low strength and often fractured structure. This results in it being classified as a weak rock in many cases. These properties affect the design of retaining structures, their embedment depth and the effects of actions that develo
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new automated method for the interpretation of lung perfusion scintigrams using patients from a hospital other than that where the method was developed, and then to compare the performance of the technique against that of experienced physicians. A total of 1,087 scintigrams from patients with suspected pulmonary embolism comprised the training group. The
This thesis examines the ownership and governance of SMT Malmö Partner Holding AB in the context of the Jägersro urban development project in Malmö. It explores how a mix of public and private interests shapes urban projects through neoliberal governance, with a particular emphasis on Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). Through a comprehensive literature review, the paper establishes a theoretical
Popular Abstract in Swedish I litteraturen kring marknadsföring av tjänster har det i flera sammanhang diskuterats hur tjänster baserade på kombinationer av kundmedverkan och teknologi kan erbjudas till kunden. Exempel som behandlats är bankers uttagsautomater, självbetjäning på bensinstationer och automatiska banktjänster över telefon. Innan man kan presentera sådana rekommendationer behövs det gThis doctoral thesis deals with consumers’ attitudes towards serving them-selves with machines rather than being served by personnel. Its aim is to contribute to the theory of perceived service quality by providing a better understanding of customers’ attitudes and preferences when using technology-based self-service. In addition to aspects of service dealt with by traditional service-quality rese
This is one of the first reference works to survey existing research on transparency and explore its meaning and significance in different areas. It provides an up-to-date account of existing work on and approaches to transparency in economic research. Contributions are authoritative, yet accessible and approach transparency from a range of discplines. In recent years, the term 'transparency' has
Gender stereotypes describe women as communal and men as agentic. Laboratory-based research (Rudman & Glick, 1999, 2001) suggests that trying to disconfirm such descriptive gender stereotypes (e.g., women self-promoting their agency), entails the risk of hiring discrimination due to violation of prescriptive gender stereotypes: a backlash. To examine whether backlash occurs when applying for r
The gap between theory and practice in social work continues to be great, and research results seem to live a life of their own, far from the field they were intended to improve. This article considers research information as a useful contribution to the practice of social work with elderly demented people and to qualitative methods used in the area of social scientific research. Arising out of a
Unraveling functional and ancestral relationships between proteins as well as structure-prediction procedures require powerful protein-alignment methods. A structure-alignment method is presented where the problem is mapped onto a cost function containing both fuzzy (Potts) assignment variables and atomic coordinates. The cost function is minimized by using an iterative scheme, where at each step
Protein levels, mRNA expression, and localization of laminin alpha1 and alpha2 chains in development and in adult mice were examined. Recombinant fragments were used to obtain high-titer-specific polyclonal antibodies for establishing quantitative radioimmuno-inhibition assays. This often demonstrated an abundance of alpha2 chain, but also distinct amounts of alpha1 chain for adult tissues. The hi
This study of maxillary sinus reconstruction in conjunction with insertion of endosseous implants included 99 patients. Two separate surgical methods were applied; a one-staged strategy (n=49) and a two-staged strategy (n=50). The aims were to compare two different strategies concerning implant and prosthetic construction survival. Differences in positioning and angulation of the inserted implants
BACKGROUND: Traditional Botanical Supplement-101 (TBS-101) is a newly developed proprietary botanical agent containing seven standardized botanical extracts, including: Panax ginseng, cranberry, green tea, grape skin, grape seed, Ganoderma lucidum and chamomile. Each of the components has been consumed either in the regular diet or as natural supplement. When used as a single agent, each of these
