He was a physician, a scientist and a university vice chancellor. Kilian Stobaeus was the man whose donations formed the foundation for several University departments and museums, and the collection grew intensively over the next century. The Stobaeus Project aims to shed light on his life and achievements. Kilian Stobaeus was born on 6 February, 1690 in Vinslöv in southern Sweden to a well-educat

Hemicellulose is next to cellulose the most abundant polysaccharide on earth and as such an important renewable resource. Mannans are the major hemicellulose in so:ftwodd and are found as storage polysaccharide in various plants. -mannanases are the main mannan degrading enzymes. In this work the -1,4-mannanase from the soilliving bacteria Cellulosamas Jimi was studied and special focus was put on

Background: Management of severe aortic stenosis (AS) has evolved over the past decade, driven by the widespread adoption of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aims to assess trends in procedural volumes, patient characteristics, and outcomes for patients undergoing TAVI or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in Sweden. Methods: This was a descriptive, non-comparative,

Introduction: Most centers treating patients with anorectal malformation (ARM) will screen for anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract by using ultrasonography. There is no consensus on whether screening for vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) should occur. To meet the diagnostic needs of ARM patients a method was developed to include a simultaneous VUR diagnosis and pre-reconstructive fistula work-up

Target factors aim at setting criteria to select foreign vessels that should be inspected by port state control authorities. Although a relative consensus exists on the main factors to consider in selecting vessels, the weight to be given to these factors is still unclear. Using data on 26 515 PSC inspections that took place within the Indian Ocean MoU region from 2002 to 2006, we investigate the

Simian virus 40 (SV40), a polyoma virus of the rhesus macaque was discovered in 1960 as a contaminant of human polio vaccines produced in monkey cells. A number of studies have reported the detection of SV40 nucleotide sequences in human tumors, mainly mesotheliomas, but the reports have not been consistent. The presence of SV40 in 26 consecutive cases of malignant mesothelioma of biphasic type wa

BACKGROUND: While metformin is the first line treatment in type 2 diabetes, the best way to escalate therapy is not always clear, particularly whether to add one or two oral agents or to introduce insulin. METHODS: Thirty-six patients inadequately controlled on metformin and sulfonylurea/meglitinide were randomized to receive add-on therapy with insulin glargine or pioglitazone for 26 weeks. Insul

Thirteen common susceptibility loci have been reproducibly associated with cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). We report the results of an international 2-stage meta-analysis of CMM genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This meta-analysis combines 11 GWAS (5 previously unpublished) and a further three stage 2 data sets, totaling 15,990 CMM cases and 26,409 controls. Five loci not previously asso

When a shotgun phage-display library of Staphylococcus aureus Newman was affinity selected (panned) against recombinant von Willebrand factor (vWf), a novel von Willebrand factor binding protein (vWbp) was found. Experimental data indicate that the interaction between vWbp and vWf is very specific and mediated by a region of 26 aa residues in the C-terminal part of vWbp. vWbp has an N-terminal sec

Background: Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) predict coronary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and death, all of which are also related to sodium intake. We studied estimated sodium intake and PVC frequency in the randomly selected population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study cohort. Methods: In our cross-sectional study, we included 5636 individuals with 24-hour

The aim of this work is to study present Rwandan social identities. The aim is made operational by posing the question; how are group identities produced and reproduced in Rwanda? In order to answer this the study uses the bourdieuesian notion of habitus, incorporated products of history that are active principles for unification of practices and representations, as the analytical concept of socia

A partially protected C-5=C-5a unsaturated carbasugar with alpha-lyxo configuration is synthesised in five steps and 26% overall yield from a known mannose-derived hemiacetal, using ring-closing metathesis as a key step. This carbasugar is converted into valienamine derivatives with beta-lyxo (i.e., corresponding to beta-manno at C-1-C-4), alpha-lyxo (i.e., corresponding to alpha-manno at C-1-C-4)

Context: Evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) provides a process for solving practical problems based on a rigorous research approach. The primary focus so far was on mapping and aggregating evidence through systematic reviews. Objectives: We extend existing work on evidence-based software engineering by using the EBSE process in an industrial case to help an organization to improve its auto

Based on high-resolution spectra obtained during gravitational microlensing events we present a detailed elemental abundance analysis of 32 dwarf and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. Combined with the sample of 26 stars from the previous papers in this series, we now have 58 microlensed bulge dwarfs and subgiants that have been homogeneously analysed. The main characteristics of the sample an

OBJECTIVE-Myocellular ATP synthesis (fATP) associates with insulin sensitivity in first-degree relatives of subjects with type 2 diabetes. Short-term endurance training can modify their fATP and insulin sensitivity. This study examines the effects of moderate long-term exercise using endurance or resistance training in this cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A randomized, parallel-group trial tes

Introduction: Low aerobic fitness, low muscular strength, and obesity have been associated with premature mortality, but their interactive effects are unknown. This study examined interactions among these common, modifiable factors, to help inform more-effective preventive interventions. Methods: This national cohort study included all 1,547,478 military conscripts in Sweden during 1969-1997 (97%-

The three-dimensional structure of a bacterial superantigen, Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin H (SEH), bound to human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II (HLA-DR1) has been determined by X-ray crystallography to 2.6 Å resolution (1HXY). The superantigen binds on top of HLA-DR1 in a completely different way from earlier co-crystallized superantigens from S. aureus. SEH interacts with h
