Only Connect : A passage from Modernism to Postmodernism

In Cultural Communication: Approaches to Modernity and Postmodernity (2014) I studied the evolution of the canon as a result of the aesthetical and ideological transformations during the 20th century. The elaboration of the canon comports distinctions in terms of the relationship between modernism and postmodernism. Jennifer Ashton insisted on the transformations suffered by the regime of texts. T

Emotion regulation individual therapy for adolescents with nonsuicidal self-injury disorder : A feasibility study

Background: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a serious health risk behavior that forms the basis of a tentative diagnosis in DSM-5, NSSI Disorder (NSSID). To date, established treatments specific to NSSI or NSSID are scarce. As a first step in evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of a novel treatment for adolescents with NSSID, we conducted an open trial of emotion regulation in

Composite biomaterial as a carrier for bone-Active substances for metaphyseal tibial bone defect reconstruction in rats

Restoring lost bone is a major challenge in orthopedic surgery. Currently available treatment strategies have shortcomings, such as risk of infection, nonunion, and excessive resorption. Our primary aim was to study if a commercially available gentamicin-containing composite calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite biomaterial (GBM) could serve as a carrier for local delivery of bone morphogenic protein-2 (

Assessing the GeneRead SNP panel for analysis of low-template and PCR-inhibitory samples

Massive parallel sequencing (MPS) is increasingly used for human identification purposes in forensic DNA laboratories. Forensic DNA samples are by nature heterogeneous and of varying quality, both concerning DNA integrity and matrices, creating a need for assays that can handle low amounts of DNA as well as impurities. Commercial short tandem repeat (STR) analysis kits for capillary electrophoresi

Real-life clinical outcomes with everolimus eluting platinum chromium stent with an abluminal biodegradable polymer in patients from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR)

Background: No previous studies have evaluated the performance of the Synergy stent in a large real-life population. Objectives: To describe the initial real-life experience with a novel everolimus eluting platinum chromium stent with abluminal biodegradable polymer (SYNERGY) in unselected patients from a nationwide registry. Methods: All implanted Synergy stents were compared with other new gener

Lung toxicity after radiation in childhood : Results of the International Project on Prospective Analysis of Radiotoxicity in Childhood and Adolescence

Background and purpose This study presents the evaluation of acute and late toxicities of the lung in children and adolescents after irradiation in terms of dose–volume effects. Materials and methods Irradiated children and adolescents in Germany have prospectively been documented since 2001 in the “Registry for the Evaluation of Side-Effects after Radiotherapy in Childhood and Adolescence (RiSK)”

Metabolite profiling of obese individuals before and after a one year weight loss program

Objective:We and others have previously characterized changes in circulating metabolite levels following diet-induced weight loss. Our aim was to investigate whether baseline metabolite levels and weight-loss-induced changes in these are predictive of or associated with changes in body mass index (BMI) and metabolic risk traits.Methods:Serum metabolites were analyzed with gas and liquid chromatogr

Disturbed cervical proprioception affects perception of spatial orientation while in motion

The proprioceptive, visual and vestibular sensory systems interact to maintain dynamic stability during movement. The relative importance and interplay between these sensory systems is still not fully understood. Increased knowledge about spatial perception and postural orientation would provide better understanding of balance disorders, and their rehabilitation. Displacement of the body in space

Time-specific and cumulative effects of exposure to parental externalizing behavior on risk for young adult alcohol use disorder

Background Previous studies indicate that parental externalizing behavior (EB) is a robust risk factor for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in their children, and that this is due to both inherited genetic liability and environmental exposure. However, it remains unclear whether the effects of exposure to parental EB vary as a function of timing and/or chronicity. Methods We identified biological parent

Task Modifications in Walking Postpone Decline in Life-Space Mobility Among Community-Dwelling Older People : A 2-year Follow-up Study

Background: Task modification refers to performing a task differently than before. While task modification in walking may be a sign of looming walking difficulty, it may also be adaptive in and postpone the decline in life-space mobility. However, this has not been studied. This study examined whether changes in life-space mobility over a 2-year period differ between people who at baseline report

Leisure time physical activity among older adults with long-term spinal cord injury

Study design:Cross-sectional.Objectives:To describe participation in leisure time physical activity (LTPA) (amount, intensity and type) among older adults with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI), and to investigate the associations with sociodemographics, injury characteristics and secondary health conditions (SHCs).Setting:Home settings in southern Sweden.Methods:Data from the Swedish Aging with

Pain, Quality of Life, and Safety Outcomes of Kyphoplasty for Vertebral Compression Fractures : Report of a Task Force of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research

The relative efficacy and harms of balloon kyphoplasty (BK) for treating vertebral compression fractures (VCF) are uncertain. We searched multiple electronic databases to March 2016 for randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing BK with control treatment (nonsurgical management [NSM], percutaneous vertebroplasty [PV], KIVA VCF treatment system [Benvenue Medical, Inc., Santa Clara,

Automated computer-assisted quantitative analysis of intact murine lungs at the alveolar scale

Using state-of-the-art X-ray tomographic microscopy we can image lung tissue in three dimensions in intact animals down to a micrometer precision. The structural complexity and hierarchical branching scheme of the lung at this level of details, however, renders the extraction of biologically relevant quantities particularly challenging. We have developed a methodology for a detailed description of

One-year results of the SCANDIV randomized clinical trial of laparoscopic lavage versus primary resection for acute perforated diverticulitis

Background: Recent randomized trials demonstrated that laparoscopic lavage compared with resection for Hinchey III perforated diverticulitis was associated with similar mortality, less stoma formation but a higher rate of early reintervention. The aim of this study was to compare 1-year outcomes in patients who participated in the randomized Scandinavian Diverticulitis (SCANDIV) trial. Methods: Be
