Repetitive iodinated contrast media exposure may be harmful for the kidneys. The aim of the present study was to evaluate if patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing CT angiography (CTA) and local continuous thrombolysis for acute lower limb ischemia (ALI) had an increased risk of developing contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) compared to patients without DM. Methods: This is a

Background and Aims: Results from prior studies of risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are inconsistent. Few studies have investigated risk factors measured before the event and separately for different locations of ICH. We investigated risk factors for incident ICH in the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Method: Baseline information, assessed by a questionnaire and in a

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Främmande gen ger fler skott Ibland händer det att arter i naturen byter gener med varandra. Frågan är hur det kan påverka deras förmåga att anpassa sig till sin miljö. Kan en extra gen till exempel få ett gräs att växa annorlunda, eller klara av torka bättre? Det är frågor vi försökt få svar på i den här studien—med hjälp av femhundra krukor gräs och ett växt

Over the last 40 years, the concept of resilience has made a journey from the fields of ecology and psychology into the social sciences. By now, it has become a term commonly used in the international climate change adaptation and development spheres, describing the ability of an individual or a community to cope with or recover from harmful events. Critics have raised concerns about this spread,

An iron-molybdenum alloy powder was extensively deformed by high energy milling, so to refine the bcc iron domain size to nanometer scale (~10 nm) and introduce a strong inhomogeneous strain. Both features contribute to comparable degree to the diffraction peak profile broadening, so that size and strain contributions can be easily separated by exploiting their different dependence on the diffract

Urbanisation is an inevitable part of globalisation. With the globalised food chain in place to feed the growing number of people living in urban areas. A remedy is often expressed to be urban farming, with local, sustainable production of food. This study presents a preliminary assessment of the dynamics between urban farms and residents in Malmö. Urban farms produce available food for the reside

This bachelor thesis uses the case of a double land allocation agreement on the Swedish island of Gotland and asks to what degree neoliberal planning is present when using the policy instrument. The main theoretical framework used was that of David Harvey(2005), on the manifestation of neoliberal policies. His framework puts forth four main ways in which neoliberal policies are manifested. In orde

In this paper we study the impact that political risk premiums have on market index returns in thirty-one countries. We also include the impact of exchange rates and inflation rates. Fifteen of the countries are classified as developing, and sixteen of them are classified as developed based on the World Bank classifications. These classifications play a role in the analysis as they are included as

Syfte: Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur banker tolkar och tillämpar regelsystemet kring gruppvisa nedskrivningar av lånefordringar. Metod: För att fördjupa oss i ämnet har vi valt att genomföra personliga intervjuer med sex respondenter. Utöver detta har vi gjort en studie av tio bankers årsredovisningar där vi jämfört det sätt på vilket de hanterar gruppvisa nedskrivningar av låneforPurpose: The purpose with this thesis is to make researches into how banks interpret the law concerning collective impairment of loans and how they put it into practice. Methodology: In an attempt to deepen our understanding of the subject, we have chosen to carry out personal interviews with six respondents. On top of this, we have studied the annual reports of ten banks. The aim of this study h

The literature shows that lack of good hygiene is an important issue on which to focus as hygiene deficiency can lead to healthcare associated infections (HAI). HAI affects the safety of patients and can result in substantial economic costs and an increase in morbidity and mortality among patients. The aim of this study was to explore the health care workers basic hygienic routines and their compl

Earlier studies have shown that while free-viewing images people tend to gaze at regions with a high local density of bottom up features such as contrast and edge density. In particular, this tendency seems to be more emphasized during the first few fixations after image onset. In this paper, we present a new method to investigate how gaze locations are chosen by introducing varying image resoluti

OBJECTIVES:: Cholecystokinin (CCK)-dependent exocrine pancreatic regulation seems to involve different pathways in different species. The aims were to explore the enteropancreatic reflex in the CCK-mediated regulation of the exocrine pancreas and to evaluate a possible involvement of this reflex in the endocrine insulin release. METHODS:: In anesthetized pigs, CCK-33 in increasing doses (4-130 pmo

Popular Abstract in Swedish SVENSK SAMMANFATTNING Den kliniska effekten av läkemedel som administreras till näsa eller lunga beror på läkemedlets egenskaper och på dess lokala deposition. Depositionsstudier är därför värdefulla för att kunna karakterisera olika beredningar. Depositionen påverkas av partiklarnas storlek och hastighet, genom att stora partiklar med hög hastighet ger upphov till en hThe local deposition, pharmacokinetics, and systemic activity of inhaled and intranasal glucocorticosteroids in different formulations and devices(ICSs) has been investigated. After nasal administration of the ICS budesonide (Bud), the systemic availability (F) was found to be significantly higher from an aqueous pump spray and from the powder inhaler Turbuhaler, than from a pressurized metered do

Background: Adenocarcinomas of the rectum shed viable cells, which have the ability to implant. Intraoperative rectal washout decreases the amount and viability of these cells, but there is no conclusive evidence of the effect of rectal washout on local recurrence after rectal cancer surgery. Methods: Data were analysed from a population-based registry of patients who had anterior resection from 1
