Aims: To quantify the association of self-reported walking pace and handgrip strength with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. Methods and results: A total of 230 670 women and 190 057 men free from prevalent cancer and cardiovascular disease were included from UK Biobank. Usual walking pace was self-defined as slow, steady/average or brisk. Handgrip strength was assessed by dynamomet

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mesenteriell ischemi (nedsatt blodcirkulation till tarm och övriga bukorgan) är vanligt förekommande vid ett flertal olika sjukdomstillstånd som t ex blödnings-, septisk och cirkulatorisk chock. Inte minst är tarmen mycket känslig för nedsättning av blodflödet. Tarmskadan, inkluderande dess barriär(skydds-)funktion sker dels under perioden med nedsatt blodförsörjning meIntestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is not infrequent in the clinical situation and the intestinal barrier plays an important role in gut barrier function, preventing not at least septic complications and potentially the development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Mechanisms of intestinal I/R induced gut epithelial and endothelial barrier dysfunction and remote organ dysfunction

The time scale of the dynamics in atoms and molecules varies from attoseconds (10-18) to picoseconds (10-12) depending on the size of the particles. To study such dynamics, ultrafast light pulses are needed to trigger and capture the reaction. One of the most direct methods consists in ionizing the system and observing the following response. In this work, we use two different light sources with c

Background: Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a bone dominant lethal disease. Progression in bone scan of mCRPC disease is assessed with the Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) two and three criteria, which relies on the appearance of two or more new lesions. There is an unmet need for a quantitative assessment that can build on the current progression criteria. This thes

In the Mediterranean area, the 4.2 ka BP event is recorded with contrasting expressions between regions. In the southern Alps, the high-altitude Lake Petit (Mercantour Massif, France; 2200 m a.s.l.) offers pollen and diatom-rich sediments covering the last 4800 years. A multi-proxy analysis recently revealed a detrital pulse around 4200 cal BP due to increasing erosion in the lake catchment. The

Mineral evolution is concerned with the timing of mineral occurrences, such as the earliest reported occurrences in the geologic record. Minerals containing essential Li have not been reported from rocks older than ca. 3000 Ma, thus the lithian tourmaline (fluor-elbaite) and mica (lepidolite) assemblage from a pegmatite near Zishineni associated with the ca. 3000 Ma Sinceni Pluton presents unusual

Objectives: The aims of this study are (1) to compare dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and bioimpedance for body composition measurements in nondialysis patients with chronic kidney disease, and (2) to investigate factors associated with any measurement differences. Design and Methods: This is a substudy using some baseline data from a randomized controlled clinical trial. One hundred twent

The growing acceptance and recognition of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) as a promising imaging technique has supported its recent spread in a large number of radiation oncology facilities. Although this technology is not new, many aspects of it have only recently been exploited. This review focuses on the latest SGRT developments, both in the field of general clinical applications and sp

Background: Providing equal access to health care is an important objective in most health care systems. It is especially pertinent in systems like the Swedish primary care market, where private providers are free to establish themselves in any part of the country. To improve equity in access to care, 15 out 21 county councils in Sweden have implemented risk-adjusted capitation based on the Care N

En i praktiken vanligt förekommande situation är att driften av en offentlig verksamhet överlåts genom ett offentligt upphandlingsförfarande. Det kan då tänkas att den upphandlande myndigheten önskar säkerställa att de anställda erbjuds fortsatt sysselsättning hos den nya verksamhetsutövaren. Ett skäl till detta kan vara att den upp­handlande myndigheten annars riskerar att få bära kostnader för iA common contemporary phenomenon is the transfer of the operation of public business through a public tendering process. In a public tender, the contracting authority may wish to ensure that its employees are offered continued employment with the new operator. The contracting authority may wish to do this because it might otherwise have to bear the costs of personnel not assumed by the new operato

This thesis examines the relationship between international law protecting refugees and national legislation in Sweden and in the UK. International protection is afforded by the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. But also general international human rights instruments are relevant. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil

Tensor-valued encoding in diffusion MRI allows probing of microscopic anisotropy in tissue, however, time-dependent diffusion (TDD) can bias results unless b-tensors are carefully tuned to account for TDD. We propose two novel strategies for tuning b-tensors to enable accurate measurements without interference from TDD due to restricted diffusion. The first strategy involves identifying encoding t

Purpose Gangliogliomas are highly epileptogenic tumors that are common in epilepsy surgery. The main aim of this study was to investigate whether the outcome of Anti-seizure medication (ASM) withdrawal differed between patients undergoing ganglioglioma surgery in an epilepsy surgery program compared with those who underwent surgery in other surgical programs. We also investigated which factors inf

Precise synchronization of paleoclimate records is essential for inferring the dynamics and past evolution of the climate system. For the last glacial period, the time scales of ice cores from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been synchronized by the use of cosmogenic radionuclides, atmospheric gas concentrations, and traces of large volcanic eruptions. Here we identify the sulfate depo
