Background: Treatment of chronically occluded infrainguinal venous bypass grafts in patients presenting with recurrent chronic limb threatening limb ischemia (CLTI) represent a clinical challenge. Recent case reports have suggested the use of endovascular recanalization techniques without preceding thrombolysis. This study assesses feasibility and mid-term outcomes of this technique. Results: A re

Aim: The first Swedish National Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer (NGOC) were published in 2012. We aimed to evaluate surgical outcomes and survival in patients with stage IIIC-IV disease, before and after the NGOC implementation. Method: Women with primary epithelial ovarian cancer, FIGO stage IIIC–IV, registered in the Swedish Quality Registry for Gynecologic Cancer 2008–2011 and 2013–2016 were incl

Workplace-collected blood spots deposited on filter paper were analysed with multiplexed affinity-based protein assays and found to be suitable for proteomics analysis. The protein extension assay (PEA) was used to characterize 92 proteins using 1.2 mm punches in repeated samples collected from 20 workers. Overall, 97.8% of the samples and 91.3% of the analysed proteins passed quality control. Bot

Pauline scholarship has gone through fundamental changes during the last decades. Old assumptions and premises have been questioned, debated and reformulated through the New Perspective on Paul. A more recent scholarly trend is known as the Paul Within Judaism Perspective (also labelled the Radical New Perspective on Paul). This article focuses on 2 Corinthians 3 in relation to this development an

An increased incidence of narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) was observed in Scandinavia following the 2009–2010 influenza Pandemrix vaccination. The association between NT1 and HLA-DQB1*06:02:01 supported the view of the vaccine as an etiological agent. A/H1N1 hemagglutinin (HA) is the main antigenic determinant of the host neutralization antibody response. Using two different immunoassays, the Luciferase I

The aim of this chapter in the report book in Sociology of Law, and Child Rights Institute, Lund University, is to sum up and report, in a summarizing overview in an Introduction our main experiences of Child Rights in Education during 18 years as researchers and teachers in the Sida international training program on "Child Rights, Classroom and School Management".The aim of this report book in Sociology of Law, and Child Rights Institute, LundUniversity, is to sum up and report, in a summarizing overview in the Introduction our main experiences of Children´s Rights in Education during 18 years in the Global South as researchers and teachers.

Recognition of impact-induced deformation of minerals is crucial for the identification and confirmation of impact structures as well as for the understanding of shock wave behavior and crater formation. Shock deformed mineral grains from impact structures can also serve as important geochronometers, precisely dating the impact event. We investigated zircon grains from the Mien impact structure in

This paper presents a data-driven measurement model for extended object tracking (EOT) with automotive radar. Specifically, the spatial distribution of automotive radar measurements is modeled as a hierarchical truncated Gaussian (HTG) with structural geometry parameters, e.g., truncation bounds, orientation, and scaling, that can be learned from the training data. The HTG measurement model provid

We revisit a Swedish comprehensive school reform first evaluated by Meghir and Palme (2005). This reform increased years of schooling and abolished tracking. We extend the original analysis to the full population and introduce an improved education measure. Our results confirm the original overall finding of small average earnings effects. However, we find considerably larger increases in educatio

Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are the most common childhood brain tumor in the general population and in individuals with the Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) cancer predisposition syndrome. Surgical biopsy is rarely performed prior to treatment in the setting of NF1, resulting in a paucity of tumor genomic information. To define the molecular landscape of NF1-associated LGGs (NF1-LGG), we integrated cli

n this paper, we introduce a constraint programming-based approach for the optimization of area and of reconfiguration time for communication networks for a class of regular 2D reconfigurable processor array architectures. For a given set of different algorithms the execution of which is supposed to be switched upon request at run-time, we provide static solutions for the optimal routing of data b

Inverse problems are important in quantum mechanics and involve such questions as finding which potential give a certain spectrum or which arrangement of atoms give certain properties to a molecule or solid. Inverse problems are typically very hard to solve and tend to be very compute intense. We here show that neural networks can easily solve inverse problems in quantum mechanics. It is known tha

The CKD-EPI creatinine-based estimation equation for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be used in children, overestimates GFR in young adults, and its combination with the KDIGO recommended pediatric CKiD (Schwartz bedside) equation causes implausible increases in estimated GFR when switching from pediatric to adult care. By establishing sex-specific creatinine growth curves for children and

MicroLED technology is expected to be the technology of choice for next-generation displays. Its advantages in various applications are reviewed. The challenges of microLED manufacturing, including red microLED realization, adequate efficiency, mass transfer, and structure and process design from a system perspective, are discussed with a special emphasis on how nano-scale material science may ope

Ecosystem respiration is a major component of the global terrestrial carbon cycle and is strongly influenced by temperature. The global extent of the temperature–ecosystem respiration relationship, however, has not been fully explored. Here, we test linear and threshold models of ecosystem respiration across 210 globally distributed eddy covariance sites over an extensive temperature range. We fin
