Two patients with haemophilia B and high-responding inhibitor to factor IX were subjected to immune tolerance induction according to the Malmo protocol, including high dosage of factor IX, cyclophosphamide and intravenous gammaglobulin. In one of the patients the treatment was preceded by extracorporeal protein A adsorption. Both patients had previously been subjected to immune tolerance induction

In this work the temperature dependence of the proton resonance frequency was assessed in agarose gel with a high melting temperature (95 degrees C) and in porcine liver in vitro at temperatures relevant to thermotherapy (25-80 degrees C). Furthermore, an optically tissue-like agarose gel phantom was developed and evaluated for use in MRI. The phantom was used to visualize temperature distribution

The objective of this study was to assess the use of on-line monitoring to support the QMRA at water treatment plants studied in the EU MicroRisk project. SCADA data were obtained from diary records, grab three Catchment-to-Tap Systems (CTS) along with system descriptions, sample data and deviation reports. Particular attention was paid to estimating hazardous event frequency, duration and magnitu

Yearly, a quarter billion people are infected and a half a million killed by the mosquito-borne disease malaria. Lack of real-time observational tools for continuously assessing the unperturbed mosquito flight activity in situ limits progress toward improved vector control. We deployed a high-resolution entomological lidar to monitor a half-kilometer static transect adjacent to a Tanzanian village

We present direct photon-hadron correlations in 200 GeV/A Au+Au, d+Au, and p+p collisions, for direct photon pT from 5-12 GeV/c, collected by the PHENIX Collaboration in the years from 2006 to 2011. We observe no significant modification of jet fragmentation in d+Au collisions, indicating that cold nuclear matter effects are small or absent. Hadrons carrying a large fraction of the quark's momentu

High salinity wastewater (HSW, NaCl mass fraction ≥ 1%) from industries and aquacultures contains massive organic matters with a wide variety. These organic matters have been considered as significant threaten to both human and environment. The removal and degradation of them before discharge emerge as necessity. However, the traditional treatment methods show significant drawbacks for this purpos

The chapter analyses the obligation upon states to identify migrants as victims of harm falling within the scope of Article 4 ECHR and to extend protection and assistance to them as victims independently from any criminal proceedings and from any actual or potential participation by the victims in any criminal proceedings. More specifically, the questions under investigation are the following: Is

Aim: The aim was to interpret the interplay between critically ill patients and their next of kin in an ICU and to disclose a deeper understanding of the visiting situation. Method: A hermeneutic research design with non-participant observation was chosen as the data collection method. Ten observations of 10 patients and 24 loved ones over a 20-h period were conducted. The text describing the obse

Contemporary research observes how foreign information influence present a governing challenge for liberal democratic states. Less attention has been paid to how this governing dilemma emerged in its present form. This article outlines a genealogy of the longstanding Swedish strategy of psychological defence with the aim of tracing historical trajectories of liberal democratic thinking about infor

Purpose: This study aims to provide insights into the experiences of working from home (WFH) in a global context from the perspective of perceived productivity. Design/methodology/approach: This paper uses a multivariate analysis benefiting from an extensive data set of almost 137,500 respondents from 88 countries. Findings: This paper find that most respondents are satisfied with their productivi

The purpose with our essay was to examine which clients/patients get treatment for alcohol problems from either health care units or social service units. We also wanted to find out how staff in these units considers the importance of social background in the assessment of treatment. The questions we have focused are: How do the clients/patients get in contact with the units? How does staff in the

In a world of ?formal organizations?, which is constantly exposed for institutionalized super standards and ideas of a what a modern orgnization should be like, the pressure for changes are strong. This is the environment in which Lund University finds itself. Ideas in the beginning of the 21-century is concerning a stronger emfasis on steering, centralisation, re-hieriarchyzation, standardised pr

Cells, the basic units of living organisms, are well delineated and separated from the external environment by membranes. Capable of both enclosing the cellular constituents and allowing exchanges with the outside world, these membranes are only a few nanometers thick. All the membranes in a human body cover an area of a few hectares, but account for only a small part of our mass. To study the dyn

Context. In the advent of new infrared high-resolution spectrometers, accurate and precise atomic data in the infrared are urgently needed. Identifications, wavelengths, strengths, broadening, and hyper-fine splitting parameters of stellar lines in the near-infrared are in many cases not accurate enough to model observed spectra, and in other cases, these parameters do not even exist. Some stellar
