Objective: To investigate the relationship between meniscus magnetic resonance (MR) relaxation parameters and meniscus degradation through quantitative imaging of ex vivo posterior horns of menisci from subjects with and without knee osteoarthritis (OA). Design: We sampled medial and lateral menisci from ten medial compartment knee OA patients (mean age 63 years) undergoing total knee replacement
BACKGROUND: Sphingomyelin occurs in modest amounts in the diet, in sloughed mucosal cells, and in bile. It is digested by the mucosal enzymes alkaline sphingomyelinase and ceramidase. In humans, alkaline sphingomyelinase is also secreted in bile. The digestion of sphingomyelin is slow and incomplete, which has been linked to the inhibition of cholesterol absorption and colonic carcinogenesis. OBJE
BACKGROUND: Subclinical myocardial injury has been reported in newborns with fetal weights < 2 SDs for gestational age. Intrauterine growth restriction might affect cardiac function and coronary flow (CF). METHODS: Seventeen newborns with intrauterine growth restriction and 15 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Blood flow in the umbilical artery and maternal uterine artery wa

Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at piers and abutments, including contraction scour. The design prin-ciples for bridges in Sweden, including both impacting forces and local scour, are relatively simplistic. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of extreme river flows on bridges
Collagen type II (CII)-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice is a model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in which the role of T lymphocytes remains controversial. To clarify this, we have bred a targeted gene deletion of TCR beta or delta loci into two mouse strains susceptible to CIA, the B10.Q and DBA/1 strains. The TCRbeta-/- mice lacked alphabeta T cells, which was compensated by an expansion of B cell
Transgenic techniques in inbred mouse strains are powerful tools to investigate the specific roles of genes in biological pathways and disease models. However, there is increasing concern over the influence of a variable genetic background in such experiments. To date there have been few investigations of the immunological differences between inbred mouse strains used in models of autoimmune disea
Previous research has shown that class differences in adult mortality in the study area emerged only in the mid-twentieth century. Such findings question a universal association between socioeconomic status and mortality. This chapter examines whether these class differences in adult mortality emerged at the same time in urban as in rural areas. The analysis shows that the social class gradient in
The influence of the deformation speed in C-ring tests in Ringer's solution on crack initiation and propagation of extruded Mg10Dy and Mg10Dy1Nd is investigated. Deformation speeds varying from 2 to 0.012 mm/min allow corrosion times from a few minutes to hours. Both the crack initiation force (higher for Mg10Dy1Nd) and displacement (higher for Mg10Dy) increase with decreasing deformation speed up
Background: Interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs) for tuberculosis infection (TBI) cannot distinguish different stages of the TBI spectrum (including spontaneously cleared infection). We investigated patterns of Mtb-specific blood mediators in people with and without TBI during tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT). Methods: Individuals with likelihood of recent Mtb exposure, aged 15–25 years, with
In this article, I explore interpretations and depictions of the Hebrew Bible in Swedish daily press between 1987 and 2017. As a point of departure, I examine three debates concerning three different aspects of the Hebrew Bible (in the debates understood as the “Old Testament”): its depictions of women, God, and homosexuality. The analysis shows that the Hebrew Bible tends to be portrayed as a pro
The pyISC is a Python API and extension to the C++ based Incremental Stream Clustering (ISC) anomaly detection and classification framework. The framework is based on parametric Bayesian statistical inference using the Bayesian Principal Anomaly (BPA), which enables to combine the output from several probability distributions. pyISC is designed to be easy to use and integrated with other Python li
