Allergic Contact Dermatitis from Methylisothiazolinone in Residential Wall Paint
A 33-year-old woman presented to our clinic for suspected photoallergic contact dermatitis with a recent episode of severe, vesicular dermatitis involving exposed skin and correlating with relocation to a new home. Biopsy results showed spongiotic and lichenoid dermatitis with eosinophils. Patch test results showed a very strong (+++) reaction to methylisothiazolinone (MI), mild (+) reaction to MI
Nut intake and 5-year changes in body weight and obesity risk in adults : results from the EPIC-PANACEA study
Purpose: There is inconsistent evidence regarding the relationship between higher intake of nuts, being an energy-dense food, and weight gain. We investigated the relationship between nut intake and changes in weight over 5 years. Methods: This study includes 373,293 men and women, 25–70 years old, recruited between 1992 and 2000 from 10 European countries in the European Prospective Investigation

A biokinetic and dosimetric model for ionic indium in humans
This paper reviews biokinetic data for ionic indium, and proposes a biokinetic model for systemic indium in adult humans. The development of parameter values focuses on human data and indium in the form of ionic indium(III), as indium chloride and indium arsenide. The model presented for systemic indium is defined by five different pools: plasma, bone marrow, liver, kidneys and other soft tissues.
Renal function and its association with blood pressure in Middle Eastern immigrants and native Swedes
BACKGROUND:: Iraqi-born immigrants residing in Sweden are at high risk for type 2 diabetes, obesity and hyperlipidemia compared with native Swedes. Paradoxically, hypertension is less prevalent in this immigrant population. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in renal function and further if differences in blood pressure (BP) levels were associated with differences across ethnicit
Head midline position for preventing the occurrence or extension of germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants
Background: Preterm birth is known to constitute the major risk factor for development of germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH). Head position may affect cerebral hemodynamics and thus may be involved indirectly in development of GM-IVH. Turning the head toward one side may functionally occlude jugular venous drainage on the ipsilateral side while increasing intracranial pressure an
Risk factors for developing hypoxic respiratory failure in COPD
Background: Hypoxemia is associated with worse outcomes in COPD. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of hypoxic respiratory failure (HRF) in COPD. Patients and methods: This was a longitudinal analysis of data from the Swedish National Register of COPD. HRF was defined as resting saturation ≤88% or long-term oxygen therapy. Risk factors for developin
What matters when implementing Flexible Assertive Community Treatment in a Swedish healthcare context : A two-year implementation study
Despite the lack of scientific evidence for the effectiveness of Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (Flexible ACT), the model disseminates rapidly in the mental health services in a number of countries. This is in contrast to many evidence-based practices that often face comprehensive implementation barriers. Knowledge is needed on the dissemination of Flexible ACT to understand the relative s
On the Design of Channel Shortening Demodulators for Iterative Receivers in Linear Vector Channels
We consider designing demodulators for linear vector channels that use reduced-size trellis descriptions for the received signal. We assume an iterative receiver and use interference cancellation (IC) with soft-information provided by an outer decoder to mitigate the signal part that is not covered by a reduced-size trellis description. In order to reach a trellis description, a linear filter is a

Beyond Massive MIMO: The Potential of Positioning with Large Intelligent Surfaces
We consider the potential for positioning with a system where antenna arrays are deployed as a large intelligent surface (LIS), which is a newly proposed concept beyond massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) where future man-made structures are electronically active with integrated electronics and wireless communication making the entire environment "intelligent". In a first step, we derive Fishe
Beyond Massive-MIMO : The Potential of Data-Transmission with Large Intelligent Surfaces
In this paper, we consider the potential of data-transmission in a system with a massive number of radiating and sensing elements, thought of as a contiguous surface of electromagnetically active material. We refer to this as a Large Intelligent Surface (LIS). The "LIS" is a newly proposed concept, which conceptually goes beyond contemporary massive MIMO technology, and arises from our vision of a

Searching for monocular microsaccades - a red Hering of modern eye trackers?
Despite early reports and the contemporary consensus on microsaccades as purely binocular phenomena, recent work has proposed not only the existence of monocular microsaccades, but also that they serve functional purposes. We take a critical look at the detection of monocular microsaccades from a signal perspective, using raw data and a state-of-the-art, video-based eye tracker. In agreement with
Effect of Travel Speed on the Visual Control of Steering Toward a Goal
Previous studies have proposed that people can use visual cues such as the instantaneous direction (i.e., heading) or future path trajectory of travel specified by optic flow or target visual direction in egocentric space to steer or walk toward a goal. In the current study, we examined what visual cues people use to guide their goal-oriented locomotion and whether their reliance on such visual cu
