Economic Costs and Benefits of Promoting Healthy Takeaway Meals at Workplace Canteens

Canteen Takeaway is a novel concept, which entails workplace canteens to utilise existing production capacity to supply packaged meals for employees to bring home. The concept has a potential to raise the average nutritional quality of employees' diets. The purpose of the study is to assess the economic net gains for users, and for society as a whole, of promoting healthy canteen takeaway meals, u

Clinical utility of tomosynthesis in suspected scaphoid fracture. A pilot study.

BACKGROUND: Radiography alone will not detect all scaphoid fractures. There is a reported prevalence between 9 and 33% of occult scaphoid fractures. The evidence-based literature suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most suitable secondary imaging modality due to the ability to evaluate the bone marrow directly and to also identify other injuries. However, there is no consensus on

Serum Response Factor Controls CYLD Expression via MAPK Signaling Pathway.

Tumor suppressor gene CYLD is a deubiquitinating enzyme which negatively regulates various signaling pathways by removing the lysine 63-linked polyubiquitin chains from several specific substrates. Loss of CYLD in different types of tumors leads to either cell survival or proliferation. In this study we demonstrate that lack of CYLD expression in CYLD-/- MEFs increases proliferation rate of these

Unsuccessful use of a titanium mesh cage in ankle arthrodesis: a report on three cases operated on due to a failed ankle replacement.

Three patients with a failed total ankle arthroplasty underwent tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis. In an attempt to preserve leg length, a titanium cage filled with autologous bone was placed in the defect. None of the ankles healed primarily. After 9 to 29 months, the cages, which only contained necrotic material, were removed and repeat arthrodesis was performed using a retrograde intramedullary nail.

Laser Sensing for Quality Control and Classification – Applications for the Food Industry, Ecology and Medicine

Monitoring constitutes a cornerstone, both for efficient control of optimized industrial processes and for obtaining knowledge about non-controlled, natural phenomena. This thesis is all about monitoring, or measurements. In this case the primary information is gathered with light, and in a non-intrusive, and usually a stand-off or remote way. The applications of optical monitoring in this work

Bedside Point of Care Coagulation Testing for Individualized Antivitamin K Reversal: A Prospective Study

A delay in surgery due to laboratory abnormalities may increase mortality in patients with hip fracture. In order to optimize the logistics for urgent surgery in patients with hip fractures and anti-vitamin K treatment, individualized doses of a Prothrombin Concentrate were guided by a bedside whole blood prothrombin time test. Thirty patients with emergency hip fracture and preoperative anti-vit

TNF-alpha is an independent serum marker for proliferative retinopathy in type 1 diabetic patients.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine if there are any associations between serum levels of inflammatory markers and proliferative retinopathy (PDR) in type 1 diabetic patients. DESIGN: A cross-sectional design was utilized for this study. METHODS: One hundred twenty-eight type 1 diabetic patients underwent stereo fundus photography according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study and

Measuring Corporate Liquidity Risk

Cash Flow-at-Risk (CFaR) is a risk measure that conveys information on the shortfall in cash flow, associated with a certain probability, a firm could experience over a certain time period. However, to provide information on outcomes that are identified as costly by the risk management literature, in particular underinvestment due to financing constraints, a risk measure needs to make explicit ref
