In this thesis work, a highly linear passive attenuator and mixer were designed to be used in a wide-band Transmission Observation Receiver (TOR). The TOR is a low IF receiver that accepts RF frequencies from 2GHz to 7GHz, and produces corresponding IF bandwidths of 280MHz to 990MHz respectively, using low side LO injection. The dynamic range is maximized by using passive topologies for both the a

Background: Liver cirrhosis is characterized by a silent phase until decompensation, which is defined by ascites, bleeding from esophageal varices or hepatic encephalopathy. Aim: We compare the clinical course, patterns of survival and causes of death by etiology during long-term follow-up in a large population-based cohort of patients with incident cirrhosis. Material and methods: We used populat

We studied the role of arachidonic acid metabolites, histamine, and 5-HT in airway responses to trimellitic anhydride (TMA) in actively sensitized guinea pigs. Sensitization was produced by two intradermal injections of free TMA (0.1 ml of 0.3% TMA in corn oil). After 21 to 28 days, guinea pigs were anesthetized and challenged with intratracheal instillation of 0.5% TMA conjugated to guinea pig se

Tamoxifen is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, there are few reports on long-term effects. Using data from a large Swedish randomized trial of 5 and 2 years of adjuvant tamoxifen in women with early breast cancer, we here present results on morbidity and mortality from cardiac diseases during treatment and long-term after treatment. A total of 4,150 patients

Att kunna se igenom människor Att kunna flyga, vara osynlig och ha röntgensyn – de superkrafterna är det många som önskar sig. Faktum är att röntgensyn är en verklighet; man måste bara få tag på lite speciell utrustning. På sjukhus runtom i världen används det dagligen medicinska avbildningtekniker som antingen grundar sig på röntgenstrålar eller andra former av strålning. Dessa tekniker hjälperThe full-width-at-half-maximum of the point spread functions for a pixellated cadmium telluride detector exposed to gammas from a 140.5 keV Tc-99m source are modelled in GATE, at a detector-collimator distance of 5 cm, and collimator-source distances of 5 cm and 10 cm, with lead pinholes of diameter 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm acting as collimators. The PILATUS3 X CdTe 300k detector from Dec

We have estimated the hydration free energy for 20 neutral drug-like molecules, as well as for three series of 6-11 inhibitors to avidin, factor Xa, and galectin-3 with four different continuum solvent approaches (the polarised continuum method the Langevin dipole method, the finite-difference solution of the Poisson equation, and the generalised Born method), and several variants of each, giving

Background: Home care service (HCS) for sick children is a complex healthcare service, which can be organised in various models. Despite the possibility to support family everyday life, the accessibility and utilisation may still be limited. The aim of this study was to (i) determine characteristics in referrals to county-based HCS, (ii) determine characteristics of referred children and (iii) ass

Capsule: Foraging behaviour in the Razorbill Alca torda during breeding was similar to that found elsewhere, aside from dive shape. Aims: To investigate the foraging behaviour of Razorbills during the breeding season at the largest colony in the central Baltic Sea. Methods: A combination of global positioning system (GPS) and time-depth recorder (TDR) devices were used on Razorbills breeding on th

1. In the rat hepatic artery, the SK(Ca) inhibitors UCL 1684 (300 nM) completely blocked, and scyllatoxin (1 μM) and d-tubocurarine (100 μM) partially inhibited EDHF relaxations when each of them was combined with charybdotoxin (300 nM). 2. The IK(Ca) inhibitors clotrimazole (3 μM) and 2-chlorophenyl-bisphenyl-methanol (3 μM) strongly depressed EDHF relaxations when each of them was combined with

Patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) are at high risk for atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke after surgery. There is an unmet clinical need to improve stroke prevention in this patient population. The LAA-CLOSURE trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of prophylactic surgical closure of the left atrial appendage for stroke and cardiovascular death prevention in patie

The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence and prognostic implication of progressive supraventricular arrhythmias from frequent supraventricular ectopic complexes, isolated, in bi- or trigeminy, to supraventricular tachycardias with different characteristics. In the STROKESTOP I mass-screening study for atrial fibrillation (AF) in 75- and 76-year olds in Sweden, participants registered

The recent randomized controlled phase III CLEAR trial results are the last to complement immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based doublet combination therapies for treatment-naïve metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. The CLEAR trial demonstrated an improved progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and an objective response rate (ORR) benefit for the combination of lenvatinib

Background: There is yet no clear consensus on which method is preferable in secondary breast reconstructions, prosthesis, or autologous tissue. Methods: In this first prospective randomized study, 29 women underwent reconstruction with expander prosthesis (EP) and 44 with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Inclusion started in 2012 and ended in 2018. Demographic data, complications,

Background: Somali women suffer from one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Somalia characterises a specific low-income country situation with a mix of newly urbanized and nomadic culture combined with a frail health care infrastructure set in a post-conflict era. Very little is known about the effects that these contextual factors can have on maternal mortality. Objectives: To

Urban tourism depends on the place specific qualities of destinations. In many cities, climate change poses a threat to these qualities, through increasing risk of excessive heat, draught and flooding. Cities need to adapt to reduce these risks. One way of doing this is to improve their green infrastructure. Urban forests, parks, rivers and wetlands may help reduce the effects of climate change in

BackgroundThere is a need for a measure that can be used across countries and cultures to advance cross-cultural research about internalizing mental health symptoms in children and adolescents. The Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) is a potential candidate, but no study has examined whether its scales are measured similarly in youth populations from different countries.Method
