Background: The pathological process in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) probably starts decades before the onset of symptoms and the clinical AD diagnosis. In patients with AD, the level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ42) is usually lower, and the levels of total tau (T-tau) and phosphorylated tau (P-tau) higher than in healthy elderly people. However, the cutoffs differ between studies an

HR 8799 is a star accompanied by four massive planets on wide orbits. The observed planetary configuration has been shown to be unstable on a timescale much shorter than the estimated age of the system (~30 Myr) unless the planets are locked into mean motion resonances. This condition is characterised by small-amplitude libration of one or more resonant angles that stabilise the system by preventi

Several orogenies have shaped the bedrock of southern Sweden. While mafic intrusions represent significant sources of information for reconstructing geodynamics and crustal evolution, the characterization of the various generations of such intrusions in Sweden remains limited. We report in situ zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope data from a Fe-Ti eclogite and a coronitic metagabbro from the Eastern S

The rapid progression of the electrification of road transport in many countries urges the need to make informed decisions on the location and size of the required charging infrastructure. This paper’s main contribution is a novel method to position fast-charging stations based on the transportation energy demand and to evaluate the performance of such charging infrastructure. Depending on their r

Flood-related disasters pose one of the greatest contemporary challenges to development. Analysing and developing effective local coping strategies to flood-related disasters is crucial if at-risk communities are to successfully mitigate the impact of natural hazards whilst not compromising long-term development objectives. This thesis utilises a combination of household surveys and key informan

The responses of 44 nociceptive neurones in the lumbar dorsal horn evoked by controlled mechanical stimulation of the skin, with or without conduction block in myelinated afferent fibres, were studied in the halothane-anaesthetized rat, in order to evaluate the effects of impulses in cutaneous nociceptive C fibres on dorsal horn neurones. Continuous non-noxious pinch of the skin evoked a short-lat

Microsoft Word - ASG Rapid brain change and long term outcomes 2019-2019 ENG.docx ASG Rapid brain change and long- term outcomes We continue to learn new skills and develop our abilities throughout our life. Modern neuroimaging methods let us look inside the brain and observe how and where changes occur as an effect of experience. In the recent past, researchers have come to realize that learning

Introduction: timely access to safe cesarean section (c-section) delivery can save the lives of mothers and neonates. This paper explores how distance affects c-section access in rural sub-Saharan Africa, where women in labor present to health centers before being referred to district hospitals for surgical care. Methods: this study included all adult women delivering via c-section between April 2

Aims: The neurotransmitter Neuropeptide Y (NPY) was previously reported as a minor autoantigen in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. The single nucleotide polymorphism at rs16139 (T1128C, L7P) in the NPY gene was associated with an increased risk for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to develop a radiobinding assay for NPY-L (Leucine) and NPY-P (Proline) autoantibodie

Six patients with Parkinson's disease were followed for 10 to 72 months after human embryonic mesencephalic tissue from four to seven donors was grafted unilaterally into the putamen (4 patients) or putamen plus caudate (2 patients). After 8 to 12 months, positron emission tomography showed a 68% increase of 6-L-[18F]-fluorodopa uptake in the grafted putamen, no change in the grafted caudate, and

Background and aim: Repeat hepatectomy is increasingly performed for the management of recurrent colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The aim of this study was to evaluate longterm functional liver volume (FLV) after a second hepatic procedure and to measure survival outcome. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients treated for recurrent CRLM in the years 2005-2015 at two liver centers

With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat.Hf reactions during th

In his paper Hypnosis Reconsidered, Resituated, and Redefined (JSE 26(2):297–327), Adam Crabtree, a distinguished expert in the history of hypnosis, maintains that contemporary hypnosis research suffers from conceptual disorder. In his words, he attempts to redefi ne hypnosis in order to provide a stronger ground for future research. We find that his proposed reconsideration of hypnosis as a form
