AIMS: Tilt testing (TT) is recognized to be a valuable contribution to the diagnosis and the pathophysiology of vasovagal syncope (VVS). This study aimed to assess the influence of age on TT responses by examination of a large patient cohort.METHODS AND RESULTS: Retrospective data from three experienced European Syncope Units were merged to include 5236 patients investigated for suspected VVS by t

Background: Early metastasis is a hallmark of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the mechanisms and resulting patterns of SCLC dissemination are unclear. Our aim was thus to investigate the organ specificity and timing of blood-borne metastases in a comprehensive large cohort of SCLC patients. Methods: In this retrospective non-interventional cross-sectional study of 1009 Caucasian SCLC patie

Partially premixed combustion using gasoline-like fuels on compression ignition engines shows great potentials to break the soot-nitrogen oxides trade off and reduce both emissions simultaneously. By simply adjusting the dilution strategies and injection events, the control of partially premixed combustion is relatively easier compared to other low-temperature combustion concepts. However despite

Kriser är allmänna och problematiska inslag i samtida politik. Förstådd som en punkt i tiden då ordningen är underminerad av oordning och förändring medför krisen en normativ förskjutning som möjliggör extraordinära åtgärder och att krisen avgränsas från det normala, att det oförutsägbara kan avgränsas till krisen och det som görs i kriser kan anses sakna konsekvenser för normaliteten. AvhandlingeCrises are common and problematic features of contemporary politics. Thought as moments in time when order is undermined by flux and disorder, they entail a normative dislocation allowing for exceptional measures and for the bracketing off of crisis from normality, removing contingency from normality, and confining that done in crisis to crisis. This dissertation examines the concept of crisis in

Helping others is a key feature of human behavior. However, recent studies render this feature not uniquely human, and describe discoveries of prosocial behavior in non-human primates, other social mammals, and most recently in some bird species. Nevertheless, the cognitive underpinnings of this prosociality; i.e., whether animals take others’ need for help into account, often remain obscured. In

In Sweden decentralised drug-budgets at health-care facility levels were introduced in 1997 in an attempt to contain increasing pharmaceutical expenditures. This paper reports the findings of a postal survey which investigates whether decentralised drug-budgets according to a so-called primary-care based model in Swedish health care have led to increased cost awareness and changed attitudes toward

Cyclopentanone is a promising biofuel that can enable more efficient engine operation and increase the fuel economy of the light duty fleet over current and planned technology developments. While the ignition of cyclopentanone has been investigated in detail, more studies on the laminar burning velocities of cyclopentanone are called for. In this work, the laminar burning velocities of cyclopentan

Description: It is stated that even though plentiful of studies over the last decades have been concerned with internationalization in/of higher education, it has not been from the perspectives from the teachers and students and their experiences of aspects of internationalization in relation to their educational context (that is, as a student, and as a teacher). To emphasize the quality dimension

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande avhandling, Konsten att lägga pussel. Deckaren och besvärjandet av ondskan i folkhemmet, utgör en litteraturvetenskaplig och kulturhistorisk undersökning av den svenska pusseldeckaren under perioden 1945 till 1965, som var genrens storhetstid i Sverige. De huvudfrågor som avhandlingen ägnas att besvara är hur den svenska pusseldeckaren, under den period som

Electrochemical methods employing the hanging mercury drop electrode were used to study the interaction between variants of the complement-derived antimicrobial peptide CNY21 (CNYITELRRQH ARASHLGLAR) and dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) monolayers. Capacitance potential and impedance measurements showed that the CNY21 analogues investigated interact with DOPC monolayers coating the mercury drop

In preclinical research, allergic asthma is investigated in rats sensitised with the antigen ovalbumin (OVA), followed by a challenge with aerosolised OVA to induce an inflammatory reaction of the lower airways. This causes diffuse, nonfocal ventilation defects that lead to heterogeneously distributed signal intensities in hyperpolarised (HP) (3)He MR images, which are difficult to assess directly

Popular Abstract in Swedish Identifiering av ärftlig äggstockscancer har stor klinisk relevans för att förhindra nya tumörer hos individen och i familjen. Möjligheten att förhindra bröstcancer i BRCA familjer genom kontrollprogram och profylaktisk kirurgi är välkänd, medan möjligheten att förhindra tarmcancer och livmodercancer i HNPCC familjer är mindre känd. Studierna i denna avhandling har kunnOvarian cancer is a leading cause of gynecological cancer death and in Sweden nearly 700 cases are diagnosed annually. Ovarian cancer has one of the highest frequencies of hereditary cancer. This thesis focuses on estimates of the contribution of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) to the development of ovarian cancer and investigates t

The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the process of institutionalization and neo-/interdisciplinarization in Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies (WGFS) in Sweden, and the construction of feminist knowledge within this process. Furthermore, the thesis aims to contribute to the feminist debates on academic feminism as a transformative project. Three questions have guided the research process: 1) Ho

Barley is a good source of dietary fibre, particularly β-glucan and arabinoxylan, to increase formation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Butyric and propionic acid are involved in the preservation of colonic barrier function, thus decreasing the risk of inflammation. Previous studies have shown that malting barley increased formation of butyric acid in caecum of rats and had abundance of butyra

This paper will investigate the strategic design decision-making of an in-house designer in a company with a large product portfolio, with respect to how designers plan for future visual alterations of the product. In-house designers have to think strategically about the creation of recognition and differentiation through design because they influence the company's overall strategies. Therefore, w

The aqueous environment in the gastrointestinal tract frequently requires solubilization of hydrophobic drug molecules in appropriate drug delivery vehicles. An effective uptake/absorption and systemic exposure of a drug molecule entails many processes, one being transport properties of the vehicles through the mucus layer. The mucus layer is a complex mixture of biological molecules. Among them,

The structure-agency debate in the social sciences is pervasive in policymaking; in recent policy paradigms and in their consequent macro-level policies. The present study attempts to study how in the latest two policy paradigms, neoliberalism and social investment respectively, the structure-agency debate has undergone changes in Swedish Government Official Reports, which investigate the integrat
