Background: Chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (chEVAR) techniques have been described to manage a group of patients who are unsuitable for either open aortic aneurysm surgery or a variety of standard endovascular repair techniques. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcomes of chEVAR in emergency settings for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms that have complex mo
The association between somatic cell count (SCC) and daily milk yield in different stages of lactation was investigated in cows free of clinical mastitis (CM). Data were recorded between 1989 and 2004 in a research herd, and consisted of weekly test-day (TD) records from 1,155 lactations of Swedish Holstein and Swedish Red cows. The main data set (data set A) containing 36,117 records excluded TD
OBJECTIVE: Developing and validating a risk assessment tool aiming to identify older adults (≥65 years) at increased risk of possibly medication-related readmission to hospital within 30 days of discharge.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: The risk score was developed using data from a hospital in southern Sweden and validated using data from four hospitals in the mid-eastern part of Swed
BACKGROUND: Cleaning workers are exposed to chemicals and high physical workload, commonly resulting in airway problems and pain. In this study the response in the upper airways and the physical workload following airborne and ergonomic exposure of cleaning spray was investigated.METHODS: A survey was answered by professional cleaning workers to investigate their use of cleaning sprays and the per
AbstractVascular risk factors are believed to be involved in dementia development by increasing risk of the most common dementia types, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia. The aim of this thesis was to study if risk factorsaffect key brain pathology directly, by using biomarkers for dementia in preclinical stages, and to assess previous findings in a large population-based setting.PapeVascular risk factors are believed to be involved in dementia development by increasing risk of the most common dementia types, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia.

Few studies have examined the association between individual-level socioeconomic status and access to kidney transplantation. This study aims to investigate the association between predialysis income and education, and access to (i) the kidney waitlist (first listing), and (ii) kidney transplantation conditional on waitlist placement. Adjustment will be made for a number of medical and
SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients. Since surgical patients are already at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than general populations, this study aimed to determine if patients with peri-operative or prior SARS-CoV-2 were at further increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We conducted a planned sub-study and analysis fro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vårt immunförsvar måste ständigt vara redo att försvara oss mot angrepp utifrån. Det måste kunna agera selektivt för att skydda oss mot främmande mikroorganismer som virus och bakterier. Om immunförsvaret istället missbedömer kroppens egna celler för att vara inkräktare och attackerar dessa, inträffar det vi kallar autoimmunitet. De autoimmuna sjukdomarna har ökat överaAim: The general objective of the present research was to study the association between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, and the effects of dietary gluten on the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. More specific aims were as follows: to estimate the prevalence of celiac-disease-associated autoantibodies in children with type 1 diabetes; to study the connection between non-HLA genetic risk marke
OBJECTIVES: To describe the outcome of growth-restricted fetuses with absent or reversed end-diastolic flow (ARED) in the umbilical artery delivered on fetal indication before 30 gestational weeks.METHODS: Between 1998 and 2004, 42 fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and ARED in the umbilical artery were delivered liveborn by Cesarean section on fetal indication before 30 gestation
Den 1 juli 2018 trädde en ny lag om våldtäktsbrottet i kraft baserad på frivillighet. Överväganden kring ett införande av en samtyckesbaserad lagstiftning har pågått och omdebatterats under lång tid och två gånger tidigare har frågan utretts i 1998 års sexualbrottskommitté och 2008 års sexualbrottsutredning. Efter lagändringen 2018 är det tillräckligt med avsaknad av frivillighet vid deltagande i The 1st of July 2018, a new legislation regarding rape came into force, based on consent and voluntary participation. Considerations regarding a consent-based legislation has been ongoing and disputed, not least during the last century and twice before the question has been investigated in the 1998 sex crime committee and the 2008 sex crime investigation. Since the change it is no longer required
Världen som vi känner den hålls samman av fyra grundläggande krafter. Gravitationskraften drar oss mot jorden och håller samman planeter, stjärnor och galaxer. Den elektromagnetiska kraften styr i princip allt annat vi upplever i vår vardag. Den starka kärnkraften håller samman protoner och neutroner i atomkärnor och binder de kvarkar som i sin tur bygger upp dessa partiklar, och den svaga kärnkraWe present a generalisation of the flavour-ordering method applied to the chiral nonlinear sigma model with any number of flavours. We use an extended Lagrangian with terms containing any number of derivatives, organised in a power-counting hierarchy. The method allows diagrammatic computations at tree-level with any number of legs at any order in the power-counting. Using an automated implementat
The main purpose of this thesis is to discuss the concept of the child’s perspective and in what extent it is met in the Swedish judicial practice, focusing on the time after the custody reform of 2006. The preparatory work concerning the reform holds numerous of guidelines for the definition of the child’s perspective. The foundation of the concept is the respect of the child’s full human dignity
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has many advantages over optical, one of which is allowing us to see through intergalactic dust, letting us probe deeper into space and dust-dense regions such as galactic centers. However the investigating the IR spectral range is a relatively new field, owing to recent developments in detector technology, and stellar parameter determination in IR is not well researchedMillions of stars litter the night sky, and our understanding of how they were born is still developing. These burning orbs of gas are so far away that even the light they give off takes years to arrive to us on Earth. So how are we to measure anything about them if sending any equipment to their distant locations is unimaginable? Since the days of Newton, the only way we have been able to say any
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading in microgrids is an innovative solution to local energy problems where consumers produce and sell their energy to their neighbours. The idea of a microgrid-based local energy trading enables decentralised energy system and strengthens consumers' participation. In the context of developing countries, microgrids play an important role in securing the mere access
Hur uppfattar svenska elever, från grundskolan till gymnasiet, storlek och skala i rymden? Det ska projektet Storlek och skala, som drivs vid Nationellt Resurscentrum för fysik (NRCF) vid Lunds universitet. Sedan 2020 har data samlats in via en webbenkät som getts ut till lärare och deras elever runt om i Sverige. Studier om elevers uppfattningar om rymden är ett stort område i internationell forThis study aims to investigate how students in Swedish upper secondary school conceptualize sizes and distances of some astronomical objects, such as planets and stars, as well as the students’ general knowledge of the objects themselves. The study uses a constructivist framework and explores how well the students’ conceptions match the scientific facts and definitions, and what misconceptions and
Popular Abstract in English Mobile communication systems are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, wearable accessories, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. We can imagine that much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. Sounds like the future of communiMobile communications are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, sensors, connected vehicles and so on.
