BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent and malignant primary brain tumor in adults. While immune evasion is a well-recognized driver of GBM progression and a major obstacle for efficient immunotherapy, the role of the complement system remains underexplored. C1-inhibitor (C1-INH), a regulator of complement activation, was recently found overexpressed in GBM. We therefore hypothesized

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to examine associations between intake of macronutrients and dietary fiber and incident ischemic cardiovascular disease (iCVD) in men and women. METHODS: We used data from 8,139 male and 12,535 female participants (aged 44-73 y) of the Swedish population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. The participants were without history of CVD and diabetes mellitus, and
The key question answered by this study is whether it is possible to deliver a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic duration of antidiuretic action long enough to ensure adequate antidiuresis with two daily administrations of desmopressin in patients with central diabetes insipidus (CDI). We studied the efficacy and safety of desmopressin i.v. in 13 CDI patients using two 3-way crossover designs, i
Den moderna arbetsplatsen är i konstant förändring, varav nya krav ideligen ställs på såväl individen som organisationen. Behovet av engagerade medarbetare med förmågan att utveckla och leda sig själva anses vara en förutsättning för framgång, samtidigt som sociala relationer blivit allt viktigare på arbetsplatsen. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka sambanden mellan självledarskap, socialt stöToday’s modern workplace is one of constant change, which continuously places new demands on both individuals and organizations. The need for engaged employees with the ability to develop and lead themselves is a prerequisite for success, all the while social relationships have become increasingly more important in the workplace. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship betwee
The aim of the study was to investigate how professionals working with men who are victims of violence in heterosexual relationships perceive how norms and expectations in society affect the target group and the work in this field. The empirical material was based on eight interviews with professionals in different parts of Sweden who have come into contact with the target group in their work. The
Den svenska aktiemarknaden har under senare år utvecklats till att innehålla fler aktiva aktörer, och värdet på aktier noterade på svenska marknadsplatser har ökat markant. I takt med en ökad aktivitet har vi även sett en ökning of- fentliga uppköpserbjudanden och därmed även sådana av fientligt slag. Fient- liga uppköpserbjudanden tar formen av ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande, men med avvikelsenIn recent years, the Swedish stock market has developed to include more ac- tive players, and the value of shares listed on Swedish marketplaces has in- creased significantly. Along with increased activity, we have also seen an in- crease in public takeover offers and thus also those of a hostile nature. Hostile takeover offers take the form of a public takeover offer, but with the exception that
Sweden has set a climate goal that emissions generated by businesses within Sweden by 2045 should be at least 85% lower than emissions in 1990. In 2017, the construction and real estate sector accounted for 19 % of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions. A large part of a building's climate impact occurs during the product phase. The foundation is part of a building’s design which signifi
In the beginning of 2017, the debate regarding freedom of conscience and abortions surfaced again in Sweden, when the Labour Arbitration Court raised the case of the midwife Ellinor Grimmark. Grimmark had been denied work as a midwife, as she was unwilling to perform abortions, put in a contraceptive copper coil, and to provide patients with so-called oral emergency contraceptive. This essay aims
Importance: Lack of arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) after extremely preterm birth may contribute to preterm morbidity, including retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).Objective: To determine whether enteral supplementation with fatty acids from birth to 40 weeks' postmenstrual age reduces ROP in extremely preterm infants.Design, Setting, and Participants: The Mega Donna Mega trial,
Introduction: Preclinical studies have demonstrated the ability of FLASH irradiation to expand the therapeutic window by sparing normal tissues. The heart is a critical organ at risk in patients receiving radiotherapy for thoracic cancers. This study aimed to quantify the cardiac sparing effects of photon FLASH delivered as single (FLASH) or FLASH split dose (FSD) exposures. Methods: Female C57BL/
Introduction: Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a technique combining vaginal entrance to the abdomen with endoscopic overview. Previous studies have shown that vNOTES decreases operating time, hospitalization, postoperative complications, and pain. We aimed to present patient demographics, costs, and surgical outcomes following the implementation of vNOTES for be
Neuroinflammation may be involved in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) and specifically in non-motor symptoms such as depression, fatigue and cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to measure inflammatory markers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from PD patients and a reference group, and to investigate correlations between non-motor symptoms and inflammation. We quantif
Alcohols, such as 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), have been shown to induce a cooperative transition to an open helical structure in many proteins, but the underlying molecular mechanism has not been identified. Here, we employ the technique of magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD) to study the TFE-induced transition of -lactoglobulin at pH 2.4. Unlike traditional techniques that focus on protein sec
Purpose. To describe, by use of a phenomenological approach, how transfemoral amputees experience their first meeting and subsequent interaction with hospital staff in the acute phase, in the long term and suggestions for future care-giving. Method. Eleven transfemoral amputees, median age 33.5 years, were interviewed. The amputations, performed in median 7.5 years before the interview, were cause
PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term results of stent placement for chronic occlusions of the iliac arteries. METHODS: Between October 1992 and December 1997, 73 patients (40 men; median age 64 years, range 42-89) with 76 occluded iliac arteries (33 common, 34 external, and 9 both vessels) were treated with percutaneous recanalization and stenting using a variety of self-expanding and balloon-expand
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine with asthma-like symptoms ("ski asthma") is frequent in elite cross-country skiers. To further the understanding of "ski asthma", 10 nonasthmatic, nonatopic controls and 30 adolescent elite skiers were investigated by bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Nine skiers were atopic without allergy symptoms. Compared with controls, the macroscopic
