Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between exposure to phenoxyacetic acids, chlorophenols or their contaminating dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and soft-tissue sarcoma and malignant lymphoma. In this study adipose tissue concentrations of PCDDs and PCDFs were measured in nine patients with sarcoma or malignant lymphoma who had been exposed to phenoxyacetic acids or ch

In a retrospective study of the mutational spectrum of the p53 gene in oral squamous cell carcinoma, 80 primary tumours diagnosed in 1980-90 were included. Using polymerase chain reaction/single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR/SSCP) analysis 47 mutations were found distributed in 39 of the tumours (49%). Unexpectedly, the majority of the mutations (29/47; 62%) were found in exon 8, and at se

BackgroundEndovasvular aortic repair (EVAR) is the most commonly utilised technique for the treatment of abdominal aorticaneurysms (AAA) in tertiary referral centers. Detailed long-term outcomes of this technique are relatively scarce,especially for patients presenting symptomatically with AAA. Intra-operatively, proximal type Ia endoleak, involvingblood circulating into the AAA – due to poor prox

This special issue is the outcome of collaborative work on the relationship between language and landscape, carried out in the Language and Cognition Group at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. The contributions explore the linguistic categories of landscape terms and place names in nine genetically, typologically and geographically diverse languages, drawing on data from first-hand f

Background: Oxygen (O2) treatment has been a cornerstone in the treatment of patients with myocardial infarction. Recent studies, however, state that supplemental O2 therapy may have no effect or harmful effects in these patients. The aim of this study was thus to evaluate the effect of O2 therapy in patients with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) based on the culprit vessel; Left Anterio

As semiconducting nanowires have promising applications for materials science, nanoelectronics and photovoltaic devices, absolute control of their structure, morphology and composition is a prerequisite for their functionality. Nanowires, grown through the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method, exhibit a complex relationship between their liquid seed particle and what properties, such as the aforementio

Three homoleptic ruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(Q3PzH)3]2+, [Ru(Q1Pz)3]2+, and [Ru(DQPz)2]2+, based on the quinoline–pyrazole ligands, Q3PzH (8-(3-pyrazole)-quinoline), Q1Pz (8-(1-pyrazole)-quinoline), and DQPz (bis(quinolinyl)-1,3-pyrazole), have been spectroscopically and theoretically investigated. Spectral component analysis, transient absorption spectroscopy, density functional theory calculati

There are many ways in which climate futures can be envisioned, such asglobal and regional climate models, scenarios of future emission trajectories, orpathways and visions of societal transformation. All these anticipatory practicesaim to make the climatic future knowable in the present. In so doing, they quiteoften envision a climatic future that is inherently violent: a future marked bydisaster

Rapporten behandlar ett projekt som utifrån samverkan undersökte möjligheterna att använda människors minnen och historia som utgångspunkt för att utveckla en plats, specifikt det hamnområde som omvandlas till området Oceanhamnen i Helsingborg genom utvecklingsprojektet H+. Människor med anknytning till hamnen intervjuades, arkivmaterial och annat samlades in. Materialet sammanställdes och blev ut

Background: Subjective well-being refers to the extent to which a person believes or feels that her life is going well. It is considered as one of the best available proxies for a broader, more canonical form of well-being. For over 30 years, one important distinction in the conceptualization of subjective well-being is the contrast between more affective evaluations of biological emotional reacti

Within the field of tourism information search behaviour, this research aims at exploring the proposed concept of ‘planned serendipity’ and its connection with smartphone use for tourism information search. Although studies on smartphone and tourism have flourished in the past few years, research on information needs and how these needs exist in relation to smartphones is lacking. Moreover, there

Pathogenic sequence variants (PSV) in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) are associated with increased risk and severity of prostate cancer. We evaluated whether PSVs in BRCA1/2 were associated with risk of overall prostate cancer or high grade (Gleason 8+) prostate cancer using an international sample of 65 BRCA1 and 171 BRCA2 male PSV carriers with prostate cancer, and 3,388 BRCA1 and 2,880 BRCA2 male PSV

Background of the study One of the main challenges in tourism research is to find effective methodologies to capture the salient moments that make a tourist experience memorable (Cary, 2004; Tussyadiah, 2014). A gap exists between the tourist experience – which happens at a destination, during the time of the trip – and the recollection of it during the study – which often happens days, weeks or m

Background: There are limited data regarding efficacy of abatacept treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) outside clinical trials. Quality registers have been useful for observational studies on tumor necrosis factor inhibition in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical efficacy and tolerability of abatacept in RA, using a national register. Methods: RA patients that
