Deoxyribonucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and can be synthesized via de novo and salvage pathways. Deoxyribonucleoside kinases (dNKs) salvage deoxyribonucleosides by transfer of a phosphate group to the 5' of a deoxyribonucleoside. This salvage pathway is well characterized in mammals but in contrast little is known about how plants salvage deoxyribonucleosides. We show that during salva
Abstract Purpose: To assess the use of periscope grafts to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in extending the distal sealing zone of thoracic stent-grafts. Case Reports: Three patients with ruptured Crawford type I thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) and 1 patient with a symptomatic type B dissection underwent endovascular repair; the celiac trunk was intraoperatively occluded in all patie
Popular Abstract in Swedish Med ett stokastiskt fält (random field) kan man matematiskt modellera en yta vars struktur och variationer i större eller mindre utsträckning kan beskrivas som slumpmässiga. Ett typexempel är havsytan. Det finns vissa ''regler'' för hur den kan se ut, men det exakta utseendet hos en viss våg uppfattas som slumpmässigt. Reglerna omfattar bland annat medelnivån, huIn this thesis the focus is on crossing points in random fields and the probability distributions of various crossing variables in different applications. The crossing points are generalisations to random fields of points of level crossings by stochastic processes. Only crossing events that occur at distinct points in the parameter space are considered, for example stationary points (zero-crossing
We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of using high-dose iodine-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((131)I-MIBG) followed by reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and transplantation of T cell-depleted haploidentical peripheral blood stem cells (designated haplo-SCT) to treat relapsing/refractory neuroblastoma (RRNB). Five RRNB patients were enrolled: 4 with relapse (3 after autologous SCT) and 1 with
INTRODUCTION: Branched iliac stent-grafts (bSG) have recently been developed in order to preserve internal iliac artery (IIA) flow in patients with aneurysmal or short common iliac arteries. The aim of this study is to evaluate a single-center experience with bSG for the IIA. METHODS: Twenty-two male patients (70 (IQR 65-79) years old) underwent EVAR with 23 bSG (1 bilateral repair) between Septem
Popular Abstract in SwedishAvhandlingen syftar till att studera svenska föreställningar om USA och det amerikanska och genom dem den svenska självbilden och olika visioner om den svenska framtiden i den offentliga debatten under perioden c:a 1900-1939, då USA var omdiskuterat som en mycket betydelsefull ny nation men ännu inte erkänt som en obestridlig supermakt. Den söker visa hur föreställningarThe aim of this thesis is to study Swedish notions of the USA and of things American and through them the Swedish self-image and the ideas about the Swedish future as seen in public debate in the period c. 1900-1939, when the USA was the subject of a good deal of discussion as an up-and-coming nation of great importance but was not yet recognized as an indisputable super power. It tries to demonst
BackgroundUnconscious survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have a high risk of death or poor neurologic function. Therapeutic hypothermia is recommended by international guidelines, but the supporting evidence is limited, and the target temperature associated with the best outcome is unknown. Our objective was to compare two target temperatures, both intended to prevent fever. MethodsIn an
ABSTRACT Background: A Quick Test of Cognitive Speed (AQT) is a brief test that can identify cognitive impairment. AQT has been validated in Arabic, English, Greek, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish. The aim of this study was to develop Italian criterion-referenced norms for AQT. Methods: AQT consists of three test plates where the patient shall rapidly name (1) the color of 40 blue, red,
Much remains to be understood about the nature of exoplanets smaller than Neptune, most of which have been discovered in compact multi-planet systems. With its inner ultra-short period planet b aligned with the star and two larger outer planets d-c on polar orbits, the multi-planet system HD 3167 features a peculiar architecture and offers the possibility to investigate both dynamical and atmosphe
Considerable debate has focused on whether sampling of molecular dynamics trajectories restrained by crystallographic data can be used to develop realistic ensemble models for proteins in their natural, solution state. For the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, Mpro, we evaluated agreement between solution residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and various recently reported multi-conformer and dynamic-ensemble
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was discovered in the 1970s, with assays to detect PSA in blood approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1986. Almost from the very beginning, its role as a prostate cancer marker has been severely misunderstood. One of the most well-known misconceptions is that prostate cancer detectable by elevated PSA in asymptomatic men requires treatment, irrespective
In this thesis, Photon Time-of-Flight Spectroscopy (PTOFS) is presented as a method to measure absorption and scattering spectra of turbid media samples in the near infra red wavelength range. In particular, absorption and scattering spectra measured on pharmaceutical tablets and dairy products are used to analyse the composition of the samples. In PTOFS, a temporally short pulse of a specific wav
Spridningsmöjligheterna för fyra arter av hotade eller sårbara trädlevande skalbaggar i Lunds stad är bristfälliga. För att bibehållandet av livskraftiga populationer är det av stor vikt att individerna har möjlighet att sprida sig mellan de livsmiljöer som träden utgör. Därför ökar betydelsen av ett bevarandearbete som integreras med stadens samhälleliga planering så att befintliga träd som är väUrban trees are of great value as habitat and as elements for dispersal of many biological organisms. Hence, tree inventories are an important step for local municipalities in the effort to promote urban biodiversity of organisms dependent of trees for dispersal and survival. Lund is one of the municipalities which have carried out a comprehensive tree inventory. The purpose of this study is, on b
BACKGROUND: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without targeted biopsy, is an alternative to standard transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy for prostate-cancer detection in men with a raised prostate-specific antigen level who have not undergone biopsy. However, comparative evidence is limited. METHODS: In a multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial, we assigned men
Malawi är ett land i södra Afrika och betraktas som ett av de fattigaste länderna i världen. Befolkningen lever framför allt på landsbygden och är helt beroende av jordbruk för att överleva. Det finns dock inga register och ingen säkerställd rättighet över marken de brukar. Användandet av geografiska informationssystem, GIS, ökar runt om i världen. Hos ett jordbrukskooperativ i Malawi, NASFAM, fiMalawi is a country in southern Africa and considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world. The main part of the population lives in rural areas and is completely depending on farming for their livelihood. There are, however, no records of land registration or tenure for the smallholder farmer. The use of geographical information systems, GIS, is increasing around the world. At a small
Projektet Intelligent Survey (IS) utvecklades för att predicera depression och ångest från naturligt språk genom att översätta individers kvalitativa svar från elva öppna frågor till kvantitativa värden som jämförs och prediceras mot skalorna; Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), Harmony in Life scale (HILS) och Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). I saThe project Intelligent Survey (IS) was developed to predict depression and anxiety from natural language by translating individuals' qualitative answers from eleven open-ended questions to quantitative values, which are compared and predicted against the scales; Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD -7), Harmony in Life scale (HILS) and Satisfaction Wit
In the light of (super) wicked problems, as climate change is, a deep transformation of energy and transport systems is needed. Among other technological innovations, liquid biofuels were adopted also in Romania as an innovation that could contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable transport. However, the biofuels sector is not well-developed in Romania, in spite of considerable poten
Much of the income equalization that took place during the first half of the twentieth century was driven by shifts in the shares of the incomes of the rich, such as the top 1 percent. But the available studies using tabulated data have not been wholly able to account for the relative decline in top earners’ incomes. In this paper, we present the first evidence on the composition of the top groups
Background: To assess the quality of life of people with dementia, measures are required for self-rating by the person with dementia, and for proxy rating by others. The Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease scale (QoL-AD) is available in two versions, QoL-AD-SR (self-rating) and QoL-AD-PR (proxy rating). The aim of our study was to analyse the inter-rater agreement between self- and proxy rating
