Pain upon negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) dressing removal has been reported and is believed to be associ- ated with the observation that granulation tissue grows into foam. Wound tissue damage upon removal of the foam may cause the reported pain. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P are neuropeptides that cause inflam- mation and signal pain and are known to be released w

This report summarises our efforts in deriving, characterising and banking of 20 different human embryonic stem cell lines. We have derived a large number of human embryonic stem cell lines between 2001 and 2005. One of these cell lines was established under totally xeno-free culture conditions. In addition, several subclones have been established, including a karyoptypical normal clone from a tri

Background and aims: Anti-alpha 4 integrin therapy with natalizumab is efficacious in refractory Crohn's disease and in multiple sclerosis, but carries an estimated 1/1000 risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) caused by reactivation of latent JC virus infection. Athough anti-alpha 4 integrin therapies are likely to be introduced in the clinic, screening for the risk of PML has n

The authors present fabrication and electrical measurements of InSb nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) and quantum dots. The devices are made on a SiO2-capped Si substrate from InSb segments of InAs/InSb heterostructured nanowires, which are grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. For the FETs, both single- and dual-gate devices are fabricated. The Si substrate is employed as the back gat

Purpose The purpose is to examine various aspects of integration in order to structure and define the concept of supply chain management integration. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on an extensive literature review in three steps and a series of interviews with leading SCM consulting firms. Findings We found limited empirical research discussing SCM integration beyond the dyadi

A kinetic model for glucose and xylose co-substrate uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is presented. The model couples the enzyme kinetics with the glucose-dependent genetic expression of the individual transport proteins. This novel approach implies several options for optimizing the co-substrate utilization. Interestingly, the simulations predict a maximum xylose uptake rate at a glucose concent

This paper presents DC and RF characterization as well as modeling of vertical InAs nanowire MOSFETs with LG = 200 nm and Al2O3/HfO2 high-κ dielectric. Measurements at VDS = 0.5 V show that high transconductance (gm = 1.37 mS/μm), high drive current (IDS = 1.34 mA/μm), and low on-resistance (RON = 287 Ωμm) can be realized using vertical InAs nanowires on Si substrates. By measuring the 1/f-noise,

The objective of this paper is to compare predictions with two hand-calculation methods with data from a small-scale two-room compartment fire experiment including 52 individual tests. The first method is based on two previously presented empirical models, and the second method consists of several calculation steps in order to solve a simple energy balance. The second method is based on the conser

In this paper, we show how studies of fracture mineral paragenesis, their orientation and Ar-40/Ar-39 geochronology can be applied in order to recognise the brittle tectonothermal evolution in an area. Samples were selected from nearly 18 km of drill cores from the upper I km of the Fennoscandian Shield obtained during the site investigation for a repository of spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, cent

Objective To develop a disease activity index for patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS): the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Sjogren's syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI). Methods Thirty-nine SS experts participated in an international collaboration, promoted by EULAR, to develop the ESSDAI. Experts identified 12 organ-specific 'domains' contributing to disease activity. Fo

The enantiomeric lactams (-)-8, (+)-8, (+)-9, and (-)-9 were formed by the reaction of the dimeric phthalide rac-tokinolide B (rac-3) with (R)-(+)-alpha-methylbenzylamine and (S)-(-)-alpha-methylbenzylamine. The absolute configurations of compounds 8 and 9 were assigned by experimental and theoretically calculated electronic circular dichroism methods for (+)-8 and (-)-9. Compounds 3, 5, (-)-8, (+

The three works analyzed here were published at the culmination of Swedish romanticism. The strange mixture of the high and the low, the sacred and the profane that is typical for them has been an interesting challenge for literary scholars. For instance, in older research one sometimes spoke of poor handwork, or bad taste of the writers or it was explained that these works were a stage between th

A measurement technique capable of recording three-dimensional laser induced images with a spatial resolution of 610x512x20 voxels over a volume of 29x24x15 mm(3) and at a frame rate of 1 kHz is presented. A novel approach for sweeping the illuminating laser sheet across the investigated volume is introduced as a key feature. The technique is applied to imaging nebulized water droplets with a nitr

The aim of this study was to gain insights into the tempo and mode of the evolutionary processes that sustain genetic diversity in coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) and into the interplay with virus transmission. We estimated phylodynamic patterns with a large sample of virus strains collected in Europe by Bayesian statistical methods, reconstructed the ancestral states of genealogical nodes, and tested fo

The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate and explore job satisfaction, strain and stress of conscience (SC) among nurse assistants (NAs) working in residential care for older people. The thesis had a descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational design and consisted of one paper where qualitative methodology was used and three where quantitative methodology was used. The qualitative study
