Decline of HPV infections in Scandinavian cervical screening populations after introduction of HPV vaccination programs

Objective: To monitor the changes in prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in women 12,000 women participating in cervical screening in the 3 Nordic countries before and after introduction of organized qHPV vaccination demonstrated a marked decline in HPV infection in the younger population in the 2 countries where qHPV vaccination programs started in 2008–2009, suggesting that organ

Synthesis and molecular structures of the 52-electron triiron telluride clusters [Fe3(CO)83-Te)22-diphosphine)] - Electrochemical properties and activity as proton reduction catalysts

Heating the 50-electron cluster [Fe3(CO)9 (μ3-Te)2] (1) with the diphosphines Ph2P-R-PPh2 [R = -CH2CH2- (dppe), Z-CH=CH- (dppv), 1,2-C6H4 (dppb), -CH2CH2CH2- (dpp), ferrocenyl (dppf), naphthalenyl (dppbn)] in benzene affords the 52-electron diphosphine-containing tellurium-capped triiron clusters [Fe3(CO)8 (μ3-Te)2 (κ2-diphosphine)] (diphosphine = dppe, dppv, dppb, dpp, dppf, dppnd) (2–7) in moder

Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay using alkaline phosphatase conjugated with streptococcal protein G

Protein G, an IgG-binding protein, purified from the surface of group G streptococci, was coupled to alkaline phosphatase. The conjugate was used for detection of polyclonal goat and rabbit antibodies and monoclonal mouse IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A two-step coupling procedure was used, in which glutaraldehyde was allowed to react with the enzyme, excess glutar

Fish and seabird spatial distribution and abundance around the largest seabird colony in the baltic sea

We studied the at-sea distribution of two auks (Common Murre Uria aalge, Razorbill Alca torda), two gulls (Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus, Herring Gull Larus argentatus), and Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo during the peak breeding season of 2014 around Stora Karlsö, the main Baltic Sea seabird colony. Simultaneously, we quantified forage fish abundance and distribution using hydro-acou

Lessons learnt from a three-year pilot field epidemiology training programme

PROBLEM: The Pacific region has widely dispersed populations, limited financial and human resources and a high burden of disease. There is an urgent need to improve the availability, reliability and timeliness of useable health data.CONTEXT: The purpose of this paper is to share lessons learnt from a three-year pilot field epidemiology training programme that was designed to respond to these Pacif

Short-Wave infrared atmospheric scheimpflug lidar

Atmospheric dual-band Scheimpflug lidar is demonstrated at 980 and 1550 nm. Signals are compared during three weather conditions, and the spatio-temporal resolution of the atmospheric structure is considered. The potential for aerosol classification is evaluated, and future directions are discussed.

Middle Triassic conodont assemblages from the Germanic Basin: implications for multi-element taxonomy and biogeography

Conodonts have been a key tool for biostratigraphical, evolutionary and palaeobiogeographical studies, and the GermanicBasin has been one of the most important regions for these studies. However, few modern studies provide systematic data onthe mainly endemic conodonts of the Middle Triassic Germanic Basin. Here we document conodonts from two sections inGermany, one Bithynian in age and the other

Fast Laplace Transforms for the Exponential Radon Transform

The Fourier slice theorem for the standard Radon transform generalizes to a Laplace counterpart when considering the exponential Radon transform. We show how to use this fact in combination with algorithms for the unequally spaced fast Laplace transform to construct fast and accurate methods for computing both the forward exponential Radon transform and the corresponding back-projection operator.

Att finna sin egen kraft. Hälsopromotion på arbetsplatsen utifrån BELE- ett program för att främja ett salutogent livspussel bland kvinnlig vård-, stöd- och omsorgspersonal.

AbstractThe overall aim of this thesis was threefold; first, to explore resources associated with work-life balance (WLB), with a focus on the work and private lives of human service employees. Second, to develop a workplace health promotion (WHP) intervention with a WLB focus. Third, to explore the participants’ experiences of the developed WHP intervention done in the workplace. A mixed method a

Identification of novel diagnostic biomarkers for deep venous thrombosis

The combination of a negative D-dimer and a Wells score can rule out, but not confirm, a diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). We aimed to identify new diagnostic biomarkers for DVT and to investigate their relationship with hypercoagulability markers [D-dimer and activated protein C-protein C inhibitor (APC-PCI) complex]. We screened 92 cardiovascular-specific proteins in plasma samples from

Complete polarization control

The polarization state of isolated attosecond pulses generated by high-order harmonic generation can now be manipulated at will. The development opens the door for a multitude of ultrafast experiments to investigate chiral media.

Spectroscopic differences in posterior insula in patients with chronic temporomandibular pain

Chronic pain including temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain involves a complex interplay between peripheral and central sensitization, endogenous modulatory pathways, cortical processing and integration and numerous psychological, behavioral and social factors. The aim of this study was to compare spectroscopic patterns of N-Acetyl-aspartate (NAA), total creatine (tCr), choline (Cho), myo-inosito

Decalcification and survival of benthic foraminifera under the combined impacts of varying pH and salinity

Coastal areas display natural large environmental variability such as frequent changes in salinity, pH, and carbonate chemistry. Anthropogenic impacts – especially ocean acidification – increase this variability, which may affect the living conditions of coastal species, particularly, calcifiers. We performed culture experiments on living benthic foraminifera to study the combined effects of lower

Analysis of HIV-1 envelope evolution suggests antibody-mediated selection of common epitopes among Chinese former plasma donors from a narrow-source outbreak

The HIV-1 envelope mutates rapidly to evade recognition and killing, and is a major target of humoral immune responses and vaccine development. Identification of common epitopes for vaccine development have been complicated by genetic variation on both virus and host levels. We studied HIV-1 envelope gp120 evolution in 12 Chinese former plasma donors infected with a purportedly single founder viru

3D-macroporous chitosan-based scaffolds with in situ formed Pd and Pt nanoparticles for nitrophenol reduction

3D-macroporous chitosan-based scaffolds (cryogels) were produced via growth of metal-polymer coordinated complexes and electrostatic interactions between oppositely charged groups of chitosan and metal ions under subzero temperatures. A mechanism of reduction of noble metal complexes inside the cryogel walls by glutaraldehyde is proposed, which produces discrete and dispersed noble metal nanoparti

An insight into molecular motions and phase composition of gliadin/glutenin glycerol blends studied by 13C solid-state and 1H time-domain NMR

Monitoring of the molecular motions and secondary structures of gliadin (Gli) and glutenin (Glu) in blends with 10, 20, 30, and 40% glycerol was performed by solid-state (SS) and time domain (TD) NMR spectroscopy. Increasing the glycerol content increased the relative amount of β-sheets and disordered structures, while decreasing α-helices in Gli/Glu–glycerol blends studied by 13C CPMAS NMR. For ≥

The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) : definition, concept and duration

The Ordovician biodiversification has been recognized since the 1960s; the term ‘The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event’, abbreviated by many as the ‘GOBE’, has been used for the past 20 years. The conceptual development and terminology applied to this crucial episode in marine life signify its considerable complexity. The GOBE includes successive biodiversity phases of the pelagic and bent

Data Descriptor : Wide-field corneal subbasal nerve plexus mosaics in age-controlled healthy and type 2 diabetes populations

A dense nerve plexus in the clear outer window of the eye, the cornea, can be imaged in vivo to enable non-invasive monitoring of peripheral nerve degeneration in diabetes. However, a limited field of view of corneal nerves, operator-dependent image quality, and subjective image sampling methods have led to difficulty in establishing robust diagnostic measures relating to the progression of diabet

CGRP as the target of new migraine therapies — successful translation from bench to clinic

Treatment of migraine is on the cusp of a new era with the development of drugs that target the trigeminal sensory neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor. Several of these drugs are expected to receive approval for use in migraine headache in 2018 and 2019. CGRP-related therapies offer considerable improvements over existing drugs as they are the first to be designed s
