Rituximab in multiple sclerosis at general hospital level

Objectives: The use of rituximab (RTX) in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a rapidly increasing choice of disease-modifying therapy. Efficacy outside specialized university hospital-based care is not yet systematically investigated. Our aim was to evaluate off-label RTX treatment for MS at a general hospital in Sweden. Materials and Methods: Subjects with definite MS with at least one rituximab infusio

Bevacizumab in the treatment of ovarian cancer

Introduction: In the past decade there have been many attempts to improve systemic treatment and thus the outcome of patients with ovarian cancer. However, neither the sequential addition of non cross-resistant drugs to standard chemotherapy comprising carboplatin and paclitaxel, nor triplet combination therapies with conventional chemotherapeutic drugs have improved outcomes. Instead, such approa

Perspectives on climate policies

The purpose of this article is twofold: First to discuss three misconceptions in the debate on climate policies: i) that de-growth is necessary, ii) that the market economy is part of the problem rather than part of the solution to climate change, and iii) that the only policy tool needed is to price carbon emissions. Second, to argue that climate change cuts across traditional policy areas and th

Machinery prices during the second Industrial revolution : An international comparison of capital goods, 1850 – 1939

Machinery prices are a crucial part of the history of catching up, technological progress and the industrial revolution diffusion. However, the efforts to obtain an international price for capital goods have been scattered and the majority of the works dealing with this phenomena had a national scope mainly . In this paper, the authors have done an effort to homogenise the different national machi

Long-term effects on function, health-related quality of life and work ability after structured physiotherapy including a workplace intervention. : A secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial (WorkUp) in primary care for patients with neck and/or back pain

Objective: To study the long-term effects of a workplace intervention in addition to structured physiotherapy regarding self-reported measures in patients with acute/subacute neck and/or back pain. Design: WorkUp – a cluster-randomised controlled trial in 32 primary care centers in Sweden, from January 2013 through December 2014 (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02609750). Intervention: Structured physio

Malvas mystiska flaskpost

Skönlitterär bok för åldern 9-12 år.Vad är egentligen mod? Kan man lära sig att bli modig? Det frågar sig Malva, elva år, när hon inte lyckas stå inför hela klassen i skolan och berätta om sitt sommarlov. Inte ett vettigt ord får hon fram. De andra barnen fnissar och fröken suckar. En trasig flaskpost blir Malvas räddning. Genom det mystiska receptet i flaskan blir hon mindre än en tumme. Och sugs

Cerebro-spinal fluid biomarker levels : phosphorylated tau (T) and total tau (N) as markers for rate of progression in Alzheimer's disease

BACKGROUND: We investigated the potential associations between cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) levels of phosphorylated tau (P-tau) and total tau (T-tau) with short-term response to cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment, longitudinal outcome and progression rates in Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: This prospective, observational study included 129 participants clinically diagnosed with mild-to-m

OGRDB : a reference database of inferred immune receptor genes

High-throughput sequencing of the adaptive immune receptor repertoire (AIRR-seq) is providing unprecedented insights into the immune response to disease and into the development of immune disorders. The accurate interpretation of AIRR-seq data depends on the existence of comprehensive germline gene reference sets. Current sets are known to be incomplete and unrepresentative of the degree of polymo

Scientific publications as boundary objects: theorising the intersection of classification and research evaluation

Introduction. When using bibliometrics for research evaluation, the classification of research fields is an issue of great importance. The purpose of this paper is to outline a brief theoretical framework for analysing the role of classification in research evaluation practices.Theory. Taking departure in the concept of ‘boundary objects’ we develop a theoretical framework for analyses of how scie

Construction of an ultrasound phantom with micrometer-sized wall-less vessels

The development of new ultrasound imaging technologies that aim to resolve objects smaller than the conventional ultrasounds diffraction limit calls for new types of phantoms to evaluate these technologies. When it comes to vascular flow phantoms, this becomes challenging due to the difficulty of manufacturing phantoms with vessels smaller than 1 mm in diameter. Here we describe a novel manufactur
