Objective: The complement system is activated in human atherosclerotic lesions and may hence aggravate local inflammation. We studied the presence and localization of C4b-binding protein (C4bp), the major inhibitor of the classical complement pathway, in human atherosclerotic lesions in relation to complement activation products and protein S, which circulates in complex with C4bp. Methods and res

Objective. The first changes in the diabetic kidney are glycogen deposits in the epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle. These cells produce Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP). Is low excretion of THP associated with the development of renal insufficiency or cardiovascular disease? Material and methods. Urine samples were collected at baseline in patients with type 1 (n=131) and type 2 (n=

Recreational physical activity in 25-year-old women in Sweden increases bone mineral density (BMD) in the trochanter by 5.5% when combining regularity and impact. Jogging and spinning were especially beneficial for hip BMD (6.4-8.5%). Women who enjoyed physical education in school maintained their higher activity level at age 25. INTRODUCTION: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of

Icke-statliga organisationer är inflytelserika aktörer i världspolitiken och utvecklingsarbeten. Under det senaste decenniet har allt fler icke-statliga organisationer, internationella och nationella, rapporterat om kränkningar av de mänskliga rättigheterna för HBTQIAP+ personer och de utmaningar som de möter i deras liv. Hur de rapporterar om dessa frågor är viktiga eftersom språk och diskurs harNGOs are influential actors in world politics and development efforts. During the last decade increasing numbers of NGOs, international and national, have been reporting on the violations of the human rights of LGBTQIAP+ persons and the challenges these people face in their lives. How they report on these issues matters since language and discourse have an influence over whose voices are heard and

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has a heterogeneous clinical course. The recently proposed Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (MIPI) predicted the survival of MCL better than the International Prognostic Index in MCL patients treated with conventional chemotherapy, but its validity in MCL treated with more intensive immunochemotherapy has been questioned. Applied here to 158 patients o

Given preschools’ important role in shaping children’s learning and development surprisingly little is known about why some Swedish preschools are much more successful in offering high-quality early education than others. Earlier research has shown that socioeconomic gaps in educational achievements can largely be explained by knowledge gaps established during the preschool years. There may be soc

Voting cohesion in the European Parliament is a thoroughly studied field, however a deep dive into the kingmaker of coalition building, the liberal party group, has yet to be done. This thesis attempts to illustrate how voting cohesion varies within the Alliance of Liberals & Democrats and Renew Europe respectively, and what factors can explain variation in cohesion. Specifically, how cohesion

Background: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) provides highly accurate data about the migration of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) component. However, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) reflect the patients' perspective of their functional status, pain, and overall health after TKA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between tibial implant migration and change in postopera

Background: The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI) are conditions that increase with age. Apart from few larger studies data on prevalence and severity of UI and FI is scarce, especially among the > 80 yrs. and data of birth cohort effects is lacking. Methods: The purpose of this study was to evaluate birth cohort effects on prevalence of UI and FI in the general o

The article summarizes the results of work since 2010 to develop non- destructive energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF) as a non-destructive method for determining the provenience of flint in northern Europe. Some 40 localities from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland, and Ukraine have been sampled and analyzed. Trace elements have not proven particularly effective in drawing distinct

Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in most developed countries. This work summarizes state-of-the-art, and possible future, diagnostic and evaluation approaches in multiple stages of CVD, including (i) visualization of sub-clinical disease processes, (ii) acute stroke theranostics, and (iii) characterization of post-stroke recov

BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene are associated with fracture risk, and a potential mechanism is through vitamin K transport.OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relation between dietary vitamin K(1) intake, APOE polymorphisms, and markers of bone health.DESIGN: We measured bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) in a cohort of Scottish wome

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues researched in Sustainability Science. Even though risks and consequences have been shown, actions to reduce emissions have been unsuccessful. UNFCCC is the global center for climate change policy and the host of the greatest concerted will to fight climate change, the Paris Agreement. Even with the hopeful aim and goals of the agreement, global emi

This thesis investigates the Danish public service station DR and the national structure of the media. As the democratic process has increasingly moved from the national level to the EU and as Danes rely on television as the main source of information on European political matters, it is only reasonable to expect the national public service station, DR, to fulfil that role, nonetheless previous st
