BACKGROUND: Prior research has established a positive association between the single-measured triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hypertension. Nevertheless, longitudinal studies addressing the enduring impact of TyG index on incident hypertension are lacking. This study sought to explore the association between cumulative TyG index (cum-TyG) and incident hypertension, especially obesity-related
Numerical models of meteorite delivery from impacts on the Moon have demonstrated that the impact event forming the lunar crater Tycho (~85 km diameter; ca. 109 Ma age) would have delivered considerable amounts of ejected material to Earth. The ejecta, containing lunar Ti- and V-rich chrome spinels, would have been distributed globally and admixed with seafloor sediments over a few meters of a typ
This chapter discusses Article 114 TFEU as the choice of legal basis in the Digital Single Market. It argues that the EU’s competence in the internal market has developed into a default option for harmonising measures in digitalisation, exacerbated by the Union’s new regulatory approach. With particular reference to the area of competition law and the recently introduced Digital Markets Act, Artic
The Internet domains are tied together by service level agreements which are based on various QoS parameters such as delay, jitter, packet-loss rate, throughput and availability. To offer tighter and more comprehensive service level agreements, accurate modeling of IP traffic and its queuing behavior over the entire network domain is necessary. We present a novel analytical model of a single route
Work is central to people’s lives and the course of their life. The opportunities and chances an individual can have in their life are significantly connected to work. Individuals' work is also crucial for organisations, companies and for the whole of society. There is a constant need to make changes and readjustments of working life since these can deeply affect the individual and their employabi
Background Amyloidosis is a rare multi-system disorder associated with frequently delayed diagnosis, enormous disease burden and psychosocial distress. Methods Systematic assessment of needs was performed by a subtype-spanning questionnairebased survey within the AMY-NEEDS research and care program. Results 118 patients with proven amyloidosis (62.7% ATTR, 22.0% AL, 15.3% other forms) were include
During protoplanetary disk formation, dust grains located in the outer disk retain their pristine icy composition, while solids in the inner stellar-heated disk undergo volatile loss. This process may have left a fossil record in Solar System material, showing different nucleosynthetic imprints that have been attributed to different degrees of thermal processing. However, it remains unclear how a
OBJECTIVES: To describe changes in physical activity levels related to health-enhancing physical activity guidelines during and after adjuvant chemotherapy in a cohort of Swedish patients with breast cancer. DESIGN: Exploratory clinical prospective longitudinal study with 6 and 12 months of follow-up. PARTICIPANTS: Forty women treated for breast cancer with adjuvant chemotherapy were included, and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kunskapsarbete framställs ofta som något som präglas av dolskhet eller oklarhet: produkten som säljs är oklar, resultatet är oklart och även själva arbetsprocesserna framställs ofta som oklara. Detta påverkar i sin tur den styrning som man kan förvänta sig i kunskapsintensiv verksamhet: en styrning som ofta handlar om personalen mer än om arbetet. I denna studie problemKnowledge work is often portrayed as hidden or ambiguous: an ambiguous product is sold, ambiguous results are delivered, and work processes are ambiguous. This in turn affects the type of management expected in knowledge-intensive organisations, where emphasis is on managing people rather than work. In this study, the organisation of knowledge work is discussed and problematized through analysis o
Universities have become important components of the national innovation systems in innovation driven economies. To strengthen the university related flow of mainly technological knowledge into commercialized products many European countries have followed the American example and changed from an inventor-ownership system to a university-owned system (Genua & Rossi, 2011). Today most European c
In order to find sensitizers additional to the current fragrance mix (FM) a series of fragrance materials (series II) was evaluated in 6 dermatological centres in Europe. 11 of the test materials were essential oils, the remaining 7 being either mixtures of isomers or simple chemicals of frequent usage in the perfume industry. 1606 patients were consecutively tested with series II and 8% FM. Each
Background: beta-Microseminoprotein (MSP) is one of the three most abundantly secreted proteins of the prostate and has been suggested as a biomarker for prostate cancer risk. A common variant, rs10993994, in the 5' region of the gene that encodes MSP (MSMB) has recently been identified as a risk factor for prostate cancer. Methods: We examined the association between rs10993994 genotype and MSP l
Popular Abstract in Swedish Med magnetkamera (magnetresonans, MR) kan utmärkt morfologisk information erhållas men tekniken är även användbar för funktionella studier. En funktionell tillämpning är att mäta perfusion (kapillära blodflöden). Perfusionsrelaterad information kan åskådliggöras på flera sätt med MR, ofta via signalförändringar orsakade av spårämnen eller kontrastmedel i blodet. Den teThe studies presented in this thesis concern the optimisation and evaluation of the dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) technique for the assessment of perfusion-related parameters of the brain, such as cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV) and mean transit time (MTT). Several methodological factors influence these measurements, for example, contra
Abstract Background: Velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) can have various causes and may be a significant disability for the affected patient. Treatment options include surgery and speech therapy, but the success rates are often inconsistent. Methods: In this study, self-assessment questionnaires were sent out to 222 Swedish patients with VPD. The questionnaire included questions about satisfaction w
In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, salinization is a major threat to the productivity of agricultural land. While the influence of other physical and chemical environmental factors on decomposer microorganisms have been intensively studied in soil, the influence of salinity has been less exhaustively assessed. We investigated the influence of soil salinity on soil bacterial communities in soils cov
The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the radiologic findings in young adults with dysphagia undergoing barium swallow and to compare these with the final clinical diagnosis. Clinical history, barium swallow, endoscopy (21 patients), manometry (18 patients), 24 h pH monitoring (4 patients), and outcome of treatments were studied and compared in 43 patients aged 14-30 years (mea
PURPOSE: We studied plasma concentrations and elimination rates of prostate specific antigen (PSA) complexed to alpha1-antichymotrypsin and alpha2-macroglobulin, free PSA, total PSA (free PSA plus PSA alpha1-antichymotrypsin) and human glandular kallikrein 2 before, during and after radical retropubic prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Plasma was collect
