Cardiac arrest and therapeutic hypothermia: Prognosis and outcome
Popular Abstract in Swedish Personer som drabbas av hjärtstopp riskerar grava hjärnskador p.g.a. brist på blodflöde till hjärnan. Patienterna blir ofta långvarigt medvetslösa och vårdas på intensiv¬vårdsavdelning i respirator. Risken för hjärnskada kan minskas med kyl¬behandling. Under kylbehandlingen, cirka 1.5 dygn, får patienten sederande och ev. muskelavslappnande medicin för att minska ”huttrAbstract Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only treatment available to reduce neurological sequels for unconscious patients following cardiac arrest (CA). TH requires sedation and muscular relaxation, obscuring the clinical neurological examination for estimation of prognosis, and clinical decision making. Continuous amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) has been used to predict outcome in neonates
Peak Bone Mass, Lifestyle Factors and Birth Weight: A study of 25-year old women
Background: Osteoporosis is a common bone disease, which does not give symptoms until the ultimate outcome, the fragility fracture occurs. Regulation of bone mass is controlled by genetic, environmental and nutritional influences. Peak bone mass, defined as the maximum bone mass accrued, is usually reached by the third decade of life and is an important determinant of future osteoporotic fracture.

Reflection measurements to reveal the absorption in nanowire arrays
The absorption of light is at the core of photovoltaic applications. For many nanostructure-based devices, an assessment of the absorption in the nanostructures is complicated by a thick, opaque substrate that prohibits transmission measurements. Here, we show how a single reflection measurement can be used for approximating the amount of light absorbed in vertical semiconductor nanowire arrays. (
Is Buddhism the low fertility religion of Asia?
BACKGROUND The influence of religion on demographic behaviors has been extensively studied mainly for Abrahamic religions. Although Buddhism is the world's fourth largest religion and is dominant in several Asian nations experiencing very low fertility, the impact of Buddhism on childbearing has received comparatively little research attention. OBJECTIVE This paper draws upon a variety of data sou
Development of an extremely fatigue-resistant Shock Absorber
An extremely fatigue resistant shock absorber was developed from basic mechanics principles using nonlinear elastic material models and finite element analysis. Prototypes were manufactured and tested to confirm the calculations and to find out the fatigue properties. The rubber body fills a cavity at gradually increasing compression. This idea has some clear advantages: A large part of the rubber
A theatre for all senses: 30 years with the Orion Theatre
Visual Orientation and Navigation in Nocturnal Arthropods.
With their highly sensitive visual systems, the arthropods have evolved a remarkable capacity to orient and navigate at night. Whereas some navigate under the open sky, and take full advantage of the celestial cues available there, others navigate in more difficult conditions, such as through the dense understory of a tropical rainforest. Four major classes of orientation are performed by arthropo
Maternal smoking during pregnancy - Long-term health effects in the offspring
Popular Abstract in Swedish Idag röker cirka 6% av alla gravida kvinnor i Sverige. I vissa regioner är andelen så hög som en av tio gravida kvinnor. Trots att det betyder att det har skett en kraftig nedgång sedan man började mäta utbredningen av graviditetsrökning i början på 80-talet, visar siffror att denna nedgång verkar ha avstannat. Det är känt sedan länge att rökning under graviditeten är sGlobally, around 10 % of women smoke during pregnancy today. It is known that pregnancy smoking increases the risk of adverse short-term health effects in the offspring, such as preterm birth, low birthweight and spontaneous abortion. Less is known about whether any adverse health effects persist until adulthood. In Sweden, there are nationwide population-based health registers that are becoming i
Swedish Lung Cancer Radiation Study Group: Predictive value of age at diagnosis for radiotherapy response in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
Introduction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of age at diagnosis on prognosis in patients treated with curatively intended radiotherapy for NSCLC. Material and methods. This is a joint effort among all the Swedish Oncology Departments that includes all identified patients with a diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer that have been subjected to curatively intended irradia
Isolated mouse islets respond to glucose with an initial peak of glucagon release followed by pulses of insulin and somatostatin in antisynchrony with glucagon
Recent studies of isolated human islets have shown that glucose induces hormone release with repetitive pulses of insulin and somatostatin in antisynchrony with those of glucagon. Since the mouse is the most important animal model we studied the temporal relation between hormones released from mouse islets. Batches of 5-10 islets were perifused and the hormones measured with radioimmunoassay in 30
Efficacy and tolerability of anti-TNF therapy in psoriatic arthritis patients: Results from the South Swedish Arthritis Treatment Group Register.
Background: The use of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) blocking agents in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is increasing, and the SSATG register has followed patients with PsA for more than 5 years. The aim of the present work therefore was to present efficacy and tolerability data of TNF-blocking agents on PsA in clinical practice, and to study potential predictors for drug survival (the length of time a p
Queering school, queers in school: An introduction
Queer studies of education and research with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) kids, tightly connected to anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia and norm-critical activism, have become a growing field with a range of theoretical and political positions and methodological approaches. One of the key contentions within this field is what researchers and activists mean by “queer” in the
Online and Offline Continuities, Community and Agency on the Internet
How the Internet spawns community and gets its features into offline life is a recurring problem met in searches for “impacts” of its successive iterations in the Middle East and arises particularly in assessing equivocal findings most recently about social media in the Arab Spring uprisings. But the problem is more methodological than ontological: it lies in viewing the Internet through a media l
Gene Expression and MicroRNA Expression Analysis in Small Arteries of Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats. Evidence for ER Stress.
Small arteries are known to develop functional and structural alterations in hypertension. However, the mechanisms of this remodeling are not fully understood. We hypothesized that altered gene expression is associated with the development of hypertension in mesenteric arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Three sublines of SHR and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) were studied at
Autoimmune diseases and hypersensitivities improve the prognosis in ER-negative breast cancer.
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide. Immunostimulatory treatment has increasingly been used as adjuvant therapy in the last few years, in patients with melanoma and other cancer forms, often with an induction of autoimmunity as a consequence of a successful treatment. We aimed at investigating if coexisting autoimmune diseases (AD) or hypersensitivities (
Equivalent circuit based calculation of signal correlation in lossy MIMO antennas
Correlation coefficient of received signals across a pair of antennas is a key performance indicator for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. For multipath environments with uniform 3D angular power spectrum, the signal correlation between two antennas can be exactly calculated from their 3D radiation patterns. When radiation patterns are unavailable, a simplified approach that only requ

Determination of lactose by a novel third generation biosensor based on a cellobiose dehydrogenase and aryl diazonium modified single wall carbon nanotubes electrode
In this paper a new third-generation amperometric biosensor for lactose determination is described. The biosensor is based on the highly efficient direct electron transfer (DET) between cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from Phanerochaete sordida (PsCDH) and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). The SWNCTs were surface modified with aryl diazonium salts of p-phenylenediamine (NH2-PD) and deposited
