Popular science summary: An MK-801 Hyperactivity Model in Zebrafish Larvae Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by psychosis, depression and cognitive impairments. The severity of this disease is easily underestimated, since the manifestations are not consequently lethal. Additionally, Schizophrenia is correlated with a 50 times increased risk of attempted suicide. Considering that a

Abstract The breeding season of the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita Laurenti 1768), a „prolonged breeder“, lasts up to three months in southern Sweden. However, not all reproducing individuals are present at the breeding sites during the full time span. Thus, some populations can be sub-divided into temporally isolated subpopulations using earlier or later periods of the season for reproduction. T

Optokinetic reflex in chickens Vision is the most important sense for many birds. Birds use their vision for many different tasks like finding food, spotting potential mates and predators. They also use this very important sense to navigate and move through the environment, and this is interpreted by the visual system as self-motion. The visual system divides properties of the environment into di

I den politiska överenskommelsen januariavtalet ingick bland annat förslag om att den svenska arbetsrätten skulle förändras och moderniseras. Regeringen tillsatte först en egen utredning, SOU 2020:30. Därefter utarbetade arbetsmarknadens parter efter förhandlingar en egen principöverenskommelse om förändringar av arbetsrätten. I januari år 2020 tillsatte Regeringskansliet tre utredningar vars syftThe political agreement “januariavtalet” included a proposal to change and modernise Swedish labour law. The government first appointed its own enquiry, SOU 2020:30. Subsequently, the social partners negotiated and prepared their own agreement regarding changes to the labour law. In January 2020 the Swedish government offices appointed three enquiries whose purpose was to modernise the labour law

Popular science summary: The European silver eel oceanic migration During the past 30 years the population of the European silver eel has been declining dramatically. This is a commercially important species and several action plans have been established but little information about the biology of the European eel is known. During the EELIAD project female silver eels were electronically tagged

The interactions between airway epithelial cells (AECs) and dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in the sensitization towards airborne allergens. Not much is known about the underlying mechanisms and novel in vitro approaches are needed, which include the different involved cell types in order to investigate what happens at the molecular level during sensitization. In this project, one aim

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of Gafchromic EBT3 films for reference dose measurements in the beam of a prototype high dose-per-pulse linear accelerator (linac), capable of delivering electron beams with a mean dose-rate (Dm) ranging from 0.07 to 3000 Gy/s and a dose-rate in pulse (Dp) of up to 8 × 106 Gy/s. To do this, we evaluated the overall uncertainties in EBT3

Objective To date, the major pathways contributing to cardiovascular disease among night shift workers remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as novel regulators of cardiovascular risk factors and are estimated to control more than 30 candidate miRNAs among night shift workers.Materials and Methods RNA was extracted from plasma samples of 110 night and 90day shift worker

BackgroundRisky sexual behavior is a public health challenge that significantly affects young people’s health and well-being in Sweden and throughout the world. Moreover, poor mental health, anxiety and depression among adolescents and young adults have increased in recent years. However, although hypothesized, the associations between general mental health and risky sexual behavior among young ad

Background: The development of new targeted alpha therapies motivates improving alpha particle dosimetry. For alpha particles, microscopic targets must be considered to estimate dosimetric quantities that can predict the biological response. As double-strand breaks (DSB) on DNA are the main cause of cell death by ionizing radiation, cell nuclei are relevant volumes necessary to consider as targets

Background Fragility fractures are caused by low-energy insults such as falls from standing height or less and pose a growing health challenge as their incidence rises with increasing age. Impaired orthostatic blood pressure response and a number of cardiovascular biomarkers have been previously identified as risk factors for fractures. It is likely that severe episodes of syncope and orthostatic

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors are now a part of the treatment arsenal for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) but refinement of PD-L1 as a prognostic and predictive biomarker is a clinical priority. We aimed to evaluate the relevance of novel PD-L1 immunohistochemical (IHC) thresholds in TNBC with regard to PD-L1 gene expression, prognostic value, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs),

Land cover governs the biogeophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks between the land surface and atmosphere. Holocene vegetation-atmosphere interactions are of particular interest, both to understand the climate effects of intensifying human land use and as a possible explanation for the Holocene temperature conundrum, a widely studied mismatch between simulated and reconstructed temperatures. Prog

The rheological properties of bituminous binders tested with a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) as a function of loading time and temperature can more accurately represent real road situations with rising traffic loads and densities combined with climatic change. This method is more effective than traditional methods such as measuring the softening point and penetration. Complex shear modulus and pha

Background: Single diffusion encoding is a widely used, noninvasive technique for probing the tissue microstructure in breast tumors. However, it does not provide detailed information about the microenvironmental complexity. This study investigated the clinical utility of tensor-valued diffusion encoding for evaluating microstructural changes in breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

OBJECTIVES: The occurrence of hand and forearm disorders related to vibration exposure, adjusted for relevant background factors, is scarcely reported. We analysed the prevalence of such conditions in a large population cohort, stratified by sex, and associations with exposure to vibrating hand-held tools.DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study.SETTING: Individuals in the Malmö Diet and Cance

BACKGROUND: The risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among health care workers (HCWs) is a concern, but studies that conclusively determine whether HCWs are over-represented remain limited. Furthermore, methods used to confirm past infection vary and the immunological response after mild COVID-19 is still not well defined.METHOD: 314 HCWs were recruited from a Swedish Infectious Diseases clinic caring for
