An unprecedented upsurge in mpox, caused by clade I of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) was noted in Central Africa in 2024. The first mpox case with MPXV clade Ib outside Africa was reported in Sweden in mid-August. The case experienced a mild disease course after travelling to an affected country. No additional cases of this clade have been detected in Sweden. Strengthened public health measures and s
CD59 is a cell-surface inhibitor of the terminal step in the complement cascade. However, in addition to its complement inhibitory function, a non-canonical role of CD59 in pancreatic beta cells has been identified. Two recently discovered intracellular alternative splice forms of CD59, IRIS-1 and IRIS-2, are involved in insulin exocytosis through interactions with SNARE-complex components. In mic
Organ donation is a crucial aspect of healthcare, yet, the number of donors is insufficient to cover the demand for transplant procedures. In the European Union, around 15 people die each day waiting for a life-saving organ. National policies differ greatly among countries, but it is unclear how successful policies affect Deceased Organ Donation when introduced in other settings. This paper explor
Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is a significant global health concern, particularly in western Sub-Saharan Africa. This study describes causes of bloodstream infections and antimicrobial resistance at a tertiary hospital in The Gambia. Methods: This retrospective analysis included all blood cultures performed at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital, Banjul, The Gambia, from September
Studying how single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) crosstalk with non-autologous factors to cause complex autoimmune diseases is challenging. An amino acid replacement in the neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 (NCF1-339/NCF1R90H) leading to lower reactive oxygen species induction has been reported as the major SNP for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we show that infection with the murine noro
BACKGROUND: Lead is an established causal risk factor for coronary heart disease. Atherosclerosis may be the key mediator for this association, but evidence from studies in humans is limited. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that environmental lead exposure is associated with coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS: We used cross-sectional data from the SCAPIS (Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage S
Background Breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy are not well represented in studies evaluating the omission of completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) due to sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases. Methods The prospective multicentre SENOMIC cohort trial included patients with breast cancer and SLN micrometastases between October 2013 and December 2022. Completion ALND was omitted
Antibodies are important for protection against malaria. For optimal protective activity, it is thought that antibodies need to have high affinity. A longitudinal study conducted in Uganda followed newborn infants and their mothers for nine months. The study found that antibody affinity (here measured as dissociation rate constant, kd) against the merozoite antigens AMA1 and MSP2 decreased from bi
Introduction: Mycobacteria have a unique hydrophobic membrane with several lipid-enriched layers that are low in permeability, setting them apart from other bacteria. This complex structure, consisting of three distinct layers is crucial for cell growth, virulence, and providing a barrier to antibiotics. Previously, we identified a plectasin variant, NZX, which showed activity against Mycobacteriu
Water scarcity is a global problem and refers to a situation where the demand for water exceeds the available quantity over a given period or if sufficient water is available, the quality of the water is poor and its use is limited. The issue of water scarcity is very complex and is affected by a wide range of natural and anthropogenic factors. Water scarcity can arise from different aspects: (i)
The process that generates the different types of highly differentiated cells in the immune system from hematopoietic stem cells involves not only the acquisition of lineage-specific features, but also the permanent repression of alternative developmental programs and the preservation of lineage identity. The well-charted developmental trajectory of early B-cell development, in combination with ab
LTHs 11:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 9 december 2021 Abstract—The paper presents an effort to structure the course evaluation meetings at the Civil Engineering program (M.Sc.Eng.) at LTH Faculty of Engineering, at Lund University. A scheme has been developed to be used at the yearly course evaluation meetings to structure and guide the discussions between the students, teachers, and th

huber-06 On the theory of presentation STEFAN HUBER (LUND UNIVERSITY ) Abstract The aim of the paper is to introduce a new information-structural category presentation and to argue for its relevance and independence from other information-structural layers. It is shown that a successful presentation consists of two steps, namely the import of a new discourse participant and its establishing (proce

Abstract "The war on terror" has resulted in numerous exceptions from the constitutional order. This thesis is an attempt to give empirical support to Georgio Agambens theory that these exceptions should be regarded as a constant element in modern societies based on a constitutional order. The results of the case study of the empirical exceptions in the American context give Agambens th
