We present a novel acoustofluidic chromatography platform for high-throughput nanoparticle trapping and enrichment, with a focus on extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood plasma. The system features a packed bed of polystyrene beads inside a rectangular glass capillary, acoustically actuated by a piezoelectric element. Using fluorescent polystyrene nanoparticles as small as 25 nm, we characterize
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Swedish Covid Association (SCA) was established to represent individuals with Long COVID (LC). The unique Swedish response to the pandemic, characterized by minimal restrictions, serves as the backdrop for the SCA’s efforts to highlight the specific needs of LC patients, who were largely excluded from pandemic policies and protective measures. Utilizing the Narrat
Background: Childhood (< 20 years) nervous system tumors manifest in some rare cancer syndromes but how commonly they present with familial clustering between various histological types is not well known at a nation-wide level. Our aim is to enhance understanding of familial risks in childhood nervous system cancers. Methods: We used the Swedish population and cancer data from years 1958–2021 to a
ObjectivesFrequent blood sampling in vulnerable patient groups, such as prematurely born infants, can lead to significant blood loss and increased transfusion needs. Current pre-analytical technology requires comparably large blood volumes and leads to discarding of cells. This study investigates a device prototype enabling in-line sampling where cell-reduced plasma for clinical chemistry analyses
The X-ray flux from X-ray free-electron lasers and storage rings enables new spatiotemporal opportunities for studying in-situ and operando dynamics, even with single pulses. X-ray multi-projection imaging is a technique that provides volumetric information using single pulses while avoiding the centrifugal forces induced by conventional time-resolved 3D methods like time-resolved tomography, and
Synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres using precipitation polymerization was first reported in 1999 in Lund. The synthetic approach attracted great interest for molecular imprinters worldwide due to its simplicity. Following the initial demonstration of feasibility for material synthesis, imprinted polymer microspheres were found to exhibit good colloidal stability qualifying for
Quantifications of phytoplankton biomass and species composition are crucial for monitoring biodiversity and population dynamics in aquatic environments, and both direct microscopic counts and fluorescence-based methods have been widely used for monitoring. Recent advancements in DNA metabarcoding offer an alternative way of easily assessing diversity and species composition. However, a comprehens
Background: The use of unique national personal identification numbers (PIN) for linkage of medical records across health facilities and population-based studies is limited in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. The disintegration of healthcare research with different participant identifiers creates methodological challenges in linking data from multiple sources to answer a diverse range of policy
Ultrasmooth solution-processable quasi-2D perovskite thin films are of critical importance for many optoelectronic devices. In this work, we fabricated an ultrasmooth intermediate-phase free quasi-2D (PEA)2(FA)n−1PbnBr3n+1 perovskite film by using antisolvents with different polarities and boiling points to engineer the crystallization process. The XRD patterns of the perovskite powder showed that
Researchers selecting probands for molecular genetic studies confront a range of sampling issues with modest empirical guidance. In this paper, using cases of major depression (MD), anxiety disorders (AD) alcohol use disorder (AUD), drug use disorder (DUD), bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ) from a large population cohort of all native Swedes born 1940–2003, we examine the implications o
The compositions of alternative jet fuels can vary radically, and the consequences of these differences are a subject of ongoing investigation. Numerical combustion simulations are vital to this research and require chemical reaction mechanisms that efficiently and accurately capture the chemical pathways of combustion. Here, we present the recently developed Z79 collection of small pathway-centri
Staphylococcus aureus remains one of the most elusive targets in bacterial vaccinology, primarily due to its complex immune evasion strategies and the phenomenon of immune imprinting. Despite decades of research and numerous clinical trials, no vaccine has demonstrated protective efficacy in humans. This review examines the underlying reasons for these failures and proposes a rational, integrati

In Sweden, the topic of invasive flatworms is as relevant as ever following the recent introduction of the species Obama nungara. Invasive flatworms are predators of earthworms which indirectly makes them a threat to soil quality ecosystem services. These services provided by earthworms play an important part in a sustainable agriculture system because of their effect on the quality of soil. The a
Hållbarhet och cirkulärt byggande blir alltmer centrala i Sveriges miljömål, men implementeringen av Design för Demontering (DfD) är fortfarande begränsad. Denna studie undersöker de ekonomiska, regulatoriska och tekniska hinder som försvårar en storskalig tillämpning av DfD i den svenska byggsektorn samt identifierar strategier för att påskynda dess genomförande. Studien bygger på kvalitativ
