Objective: (1) To evaluate constraint-induced movement therapy for chronic stroke patients modified into group practice to limit the demand on therapist resources. (2) To explore whether extended mitt use alone may enhance outcome. Design: A combined case-control and randomized controlled study with pre- and post-treatment measures by blinded observers. Setting: A university hospital rehabilitatio

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

This essay is a statistical analysis on the patients at the rheumatology clinic of Lund. We investigate whether effects of the treatment differ depending on the patient’s diagnosis, sex, age and drug. Diagnoses included in this study are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondarthritis, juvenile chronic arthritis and arthritis. The drugs we investigate in this study are Mabthera inf, Cimz

The extreme 2018 hot drought that affected central and northern Europe led to the worst wildfire season in Sweden in over a century. The Ljusdal fire complex, the largest area burnt that year (8995 ha), offered a rare opportunity to quantify the combined impacts of wildfire and post-fire management on Scandinavian boreal forests. We present chamber measurements of soil CO2 and CH4 fluxes, soil mic

BACKGROUND: Viral shedding and neutralizing antibody (NAb) dynamics among patients hospitalized with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and immune correlates of protection have been key questions throughout the pandemic. We investigated the duration of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positivity, infectious viral shedding and NAb titers as well as the association be

Context. To take full advantage of upcoming large-scale spectroscopic surveys, it will be necessary to parameterize millions of stellar spectra in an efficient way. Machine learning methods, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), will be among the main tools geared at achieving this task. Aims. We aim to prepare the groundwork for machine learning techniques for the next generation of sp

BACKGROUND Sentinel-lymph-node biopsy is associated with increased melanoma-specific survival (i.e., survival until death from melanoma) among patients with node-positive intermediatethickness melanomas (1.2 to 3.5 mm). The value of completion lymph-node dissection for patients with sentinel-node metastases is not clear. METHODS In an international trial, we randomly assigned patients with sentine

Context. SDSS-IV APOGEE-2, GALAH, and Gaia-ESO are high-resolution, ground-based, multi-object spectroscopic surveys providing fundamental stellar atmospheric parameters and multiple elemental abundance ratios for hundreds of thousands of stars of the Milky Way. Data from these and other surveys contribute to investigations of the history and evolution of the Galaxy. Aims. We undertake a compariso

Introduction: Multidrug resistance (MDR) has been identified in wound bacterial isolates from Ukrainian war victims treated in Ukraine and across Europe. ILP100, a drug candidate for the treatment of skin wounds, is composed of a Limosilactobacillus reuteri expressing human chemokine CXCL12. In this study, the antimicrobial effects of ILP100 were tested on MDR bacteria isolated from wounds of Ukra

Background and purpose — We have previously reported on the prosthetic survival of total ankle replacements (TAR) in Sweden performed between 1993 and 2010. Few other reports have been published on 5- and 10-year survival rates. Furthermore, there is a lack of long-term outcome data on modern prosthetic designs. Therefore, we compared early and current prosthetic designs after a mean 7-year follow

BACKGROUND: Alcohol is an established risk factor for several cancers, but modest alcohol-cancer associations may be missed due to measurement error in self-reported assessments. Biomarkers of habitual alcohol intake may provide novel insight into the relationship between alcohol and cancer risk.METHODS: Untargeted metabolomics was used to identify metabolites correlated with self-reported habitua

Ett vattenskyddsområde vad är det egentligen? Jo, runt om i Sverige finns det idag områden med speciella förhållanden som är skapade för att skydda vårt grundvatten. Dessa områden har speciella regler som måste följas. Reglerna är enormt viktiga och reglerar bland annat lantbruken inom dessa områden gällande hantering och användning av kemikalier. Olika dispenser för användningen finns även inom oThis study investigates the relationship between the use of pesticides within Ängelholm Municipality’s largest water protection area and the levels of these substances in the drink-ing water. With a growing population and modern lifestyle, society has developed a de-pendency on continuous food production, which in turn has led to increased use of pesti-cides to ensure stable harvesters. This can h

This study aims to contribute to the research field of public diplomacy and nation branding on social media. The study examines how Swedish government representatives communicated nation branding, reputation management and public diplomacy. The chosen time period was January 12th to February 3rd because two events took place in Sweden that evoked strong reactions from the outside world. The resear
