AIMS: In western countries out-of-hospital ischaemic heart disease (IHD) deaths account for approximately 50-70% of all IHD deaths. The objective was to examine the trends in out-of-hospital IHD deaths in the Region of Skåne in southern Sweden, in different sex- and age-groups. METHODS: All 14,347 persons (range 24-110 years) in Skåne who died out-of-hospital between 1992 and 2003 from IHD (I410-

We demonstrate a method for nonintrusive scanned near-field optical microscopy. The microscope utilizes an optical trap to position accurately a 50-100-nm-diameter lithium niobate particle. The infrared trapping beam is frequency doubled in the particle, resulting in a visible microscopic optical probe. By separation of the trapping and detection wavelengths, objects that are transparent in the in

This paper presents results from one of the few existing outdoor measurement campaigns for UWB. We specifically focus on scenarios applicable for "infostations," where large amounts of data can be downloaded to a user within a limited amount of time. We describe the measurement setup, and present a novel high-resolution algorithm that allows the extraction of the scatterer's positions. Measuremen

BACKGROUND: Anandamide, a proposed endogenous cannabinoid (CB) agonist, has been shown to enhance neurogenic responses in vitro of the rat corpus cavernosal tissue (CC). However, no information is available on the distribution of CB-receptors or effects by anandamide in CC from primates or humans. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the distribution of CB-receptor isoforms in the human and primate CC and t

To evaluate an intervention aimed at enriching day centres for people with psychiatric disabilities by exploring staff experiences from developing and implementing the intervention.

A design for generating distributed input data for a regionalized version of the steady-state model PROFILE was tested by Monte Carlo simulations of critical loads of acidity for 67 sites within a south Swedish municipality, Svalov. Input and output data were integrated in a geographic information system for data manipulation and to facilitate its use in local planning. Pooled standard deviations

Currently, no ideal prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostic or prognostic test is available due to the lack of biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity. There is an unmet medical need to develop combinations of multiple biomarkers which may have higher accuracy in detection of PCa and stratification of aggressive and indolent cancer patients. The aim of this study was to test two biomarker gene p

Indoor air measurements were conducted in one unoccupied apartment of a ‘near-zero-energy’ residential building with a unique, wooden construction. Ozone, NO2, fine particles and volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) were measured under ‘as is’ conditions and after intentional intervention by adding ozone to simulate an ambient air ozone episode. Und

Swedish concrete dams are designed and assessed based on deterministic design using safety factors. The combination of increasing age, new methods for calculation of design floods and increasing demands by society to ensure a high level of safety, has resulted in upgrading and rebuilding needs for dams. When safety is re-evaluated it is important that evaluation is based on modern safety concepts.

Abstract Objective. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the long-term clinical performance of implant-supported full-arch zirconia-based fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). Materials and methods. Ten patients received full-arch zirconia-based (Cercon) mandibular FDPs supported by four implants (Astra Tech). Nine patients received 10-unit FDPs and one patient received a 9-unit FDP. The FDPs

In the context of global R&D, we connect literature on knowledge management to a network-based theoretical framework helpful to analyse and explain the impact of globalisation of R&D on innovation performance. This framework is applied to two case companies, both global leaders within their respective industries, in order to analyse the extent to which their strategic globalisation of R&am
