The purpose of this study was to characterize the outcome of attempted endovascular intervention in patients with acute embolic or thrombotic superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion. The records of 21 patients during a 3-year period between 2005 and 2008 were retrieved from the in-hospital registry. The first group included 10 patients (6 women and 4 men; median age 78 years) with acute embolic
Mouse anticoagulant protein C (461 residues) shares 69% sequence identity with its human ortholog. Interspecies experiments suggest that there is an incompatibility between mouse and human protein C, such that human protein C does not function efficiently in mouse plasma, nor does mouse protein C function efficiently in human plasma. Previously, we described a series of human activated protein C (
BACKGROUND: Stroke is common in cancer patients, but risk estimates for different cancer sites/types have not been determined. The aim of this nationwide study was to examine whether there is an association between cancer and first hospitalisation for haemorrhagic or ischaemic stroke. METHODS: All 820,491 individuals in Sweden with a diagnosis of cancer between 1st January 1987 and 31st December 2
Spatially distributed air temperature data with high temporal resolution are desired for several modeling applications. By exploiting the thermal split window channels in combination with the red and near infrared channels of the geostationary MSG SEVIRI sensor, multiple daily air temperature estimates can be achieved using the contextual temperature-vegetation index method. Air temperature was es
Background: Changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) tone are present before, during, and after episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR, the inverse of the atrial cycle length) has been used as a surrogate marker for local refractoriness and is a key characteristic of the fibrillatory process in patients with AF. Aim of this study is to assess changes in AFR, as an
Some evidences suggest that obesity impairs the effectiveness of TNF inhibitors. We examined the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the clinical effectiveness of abatacept in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. This is a pooled analysis of 10 prospective cohorts of RA patients. All patients with available BMI were included in this study. The primary endpoint was drug retention of abatacept in the
OBJECTIVE: Increased inflammation and oxidative stress have been shown in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), although there is significant heterogeneity across studies. Whether markers of inflammation and oxidative stress are associated with antidepressant treatment response in MDD is currently unclear. The goals of the present study are to investigate markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in
Background and purpose — Idiopathic clubfoot can be bilateral or unilateral; however, most studies of gait have assessed clubfoot cases as one uniform group. The contralateral foot in children with unilateral clubfoot has shown deviations in pedobarographic measurements, but it is seldom included in studies of gait. We evaluated gait in children with idiopathic clubfoot, concentrating on foot invo
OBJECTIVES: Increased vulnerability to stress has been suggested as a possible mechanism behind medically unexplained conditions such as sensitivity to electricity and common smells. This study examined whether subjective environmental annoyance among the general population is associated with increased physiological reactivity or subjective stress scores.METHODS: Four groups were studied (N=141):
Background: The size of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at diagnosis is an indicator of outcome. Previous studies have focused mostly on patients with resectable disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between tumour size and risk of metastasis and death in a large PDAC cohort, including all stages. Methods: Patients diagnosed with PDAC between 1988 and 2013 were
Att multinationella koncerner ägnar sig åt aggressiv skatteplanering har under det senaste decenniet blivit en självklarhet. De kan genom att utnyttja olikheter i ländernas skattelagstiftning planera sin beskattning och allokera kostnader till ett högskatteland och intäkter till ett lågskatteland för att på så vis behålla en större del av vinsten inom koncernen. Det har uppdagats i flertalet journThe fact that Multinational enterprises (hereinafter only referred to as MNE's) engage in aggressive tax planning has become a matter of course in the last decade. This is usually possible due to the fact that they are active in many countries. By exploiting differences in the tax law of the different countries in which they operate they can plan their taxation in order to retain a greater pro

Insects have been recommended by the FAO as a sustainable food alternative to meat. Despite their nutritional quality and sustainability, most Western countries still see insects as belonging far away from the dinner table. Although still a niche market, Denmark has been at the forefront of innovation and adoption of edible insects. I used integral theory to map out the structural, cultural and pe
Det kan konstateras utan vidare att den världen som vi lever i håller på att bli allt mer digitaliserad. Människor kommunicerar på Facebook, beställer varor på Amazon och använder sig av Google Search för att komma åt allting som Internetet har att erbjuda. En gemensam nämnare för dessa tjänster är att de erbjuds gratis. Affärsmodellen för dessa företag är istället att maximera upptagningen av dat
Denna uppsats hade som syfte att besvara frågorna om huruvida status som rättighetsbärare tillkommer ofödda människor, samt om gällande regleringar är tillräckliga för att skydda ofött liv. Undersökningen om rättighetsbärarstatus skedde inom ramen för rätten till liv, eftersom denna rättighet förutsattes vara den mest relevanta för ofödda människor. Uppsatsen undersökte först internationella mänsThis essay set out to answer the questions whether a status as rights-bearer is acknowledged for unborn human beings, and if the regulations in place are adequate in order to protect unborn life.

The essay first examined international human rights law, focu
Under Covid-19 pandemin har distansarbete varit en central del i strategin för att minska smittspridningen av viruset. Före pandemin arbetade endast 5 % av arbetstagarna inom EU på distans regelbundet. När pandemin bröt ut ökade andelen distansarbetare inom EU till nästan 40 %. Den snabba omställningen till distansarbete har aktualiserat flera arbetsrättsliga frågor. Syftet med denna uppsats är atDuring the Covid-19 pandemic, telework has been a central part of the strategy to reduce the spread of the virus. Before the pandemic, only 5% of EU workers worked remotely on a regular basis. When the pandemic broke out, the proportion of employees working remotely in the EU increased to almost 40%. The rapid transition to telework has raised several issues of labor law. The purpose of this thesi

Lagstiftningen på diskrimineringsområdet har utvecklats mycket sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Idag finns såväl internationella konventioner som regionala och nationella bestämmelser vars syfte är att motverka diskriminering inom olika samhällsområden. Den svenska nationella rätten har i stor utsträckning påverkats av EU-rätten och dess utformning. I Sverige finns idag ett skydd mot diskriminering på Legislation in the field of discrimination has developed a lot over the past decades.
