ABSTRACT Background: Approximately 15 % of all couples in the Western countries experience infertility. Up to half of these cases are thought to solely or partly depend upon the male factor. In most cases male infertility is unexplained. During the last decade there has been a growing focus on sperm DNA damage as a cause of male infertility. Sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) is increasingly
En grundläggande målsättning i svensk rätt är att barnets bästa ska sättas i främsta rummet och det ska alltid ske utifrån barnets individuella förhållan-den. Umgänge bedöms som utgångspunkt vara bra för barnet. Barn har rätt och behov av att träffa båda sina föräldrar och umgänge ska ske under trygga former. Genom att analysera och kombinera det som anses vara bra för barnet, barnets vilja, barneA basic aim in swedish law is the ”best for the child” always should be giv-en first priority from an individual child perspective. Parental visitation rights are assessed according to what is best for the child. Children have right and also need to see both their parents under safe and secure forms. Through an analysis of what is reasonably good for the child, the child’s own will and need, the b
Background Medication abortion, with a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, is highly effective and safe. However, there is insufficient evidence on efficacy and safety at very early gestations before a pregnancy can be visualized with ultrasonography. Methods We conducted a multicenter, noninferiority, randomized, controlled trial involving women requesting medication abortion at up to 42
OBJECTIVES: To investigate hip dysplasia as a risk factor for clinically relevant and incident radiographic hip OA.METHODS: From a prospective cohort (CHECK) of 1002 middle-aged, new consulters for hip and/or knee pain, 468 hips (251 individuals) were selected based on hip pain, available lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and absence of definite radiographic hip OA (Kellgren and Lawrence [KL] grade
Background: Treating patients in cardiac arrest (CA) with mechanical chest compressions (MCC) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is now routine in many coronary catheterization laboratories (cath-lab) and more aggressive treatment modalities, including extracorporeal CPR are becoming more common. The cath-lab setting enables monitoring of vital physiological parameters and other clini
Rapid development in the realms of electronic publishing has had a profound impact on information services in general and the academic library in particular. Since mid 1990´s an increasingly number of scholarly journals and other information resources have been made available electronically. Electronic books are the newest electronic service in the hybrid library and can be seen as the third wave
The general view of learning has dramatically changed during the last two decades. Today we talk about learning for life and educate to meet the demands of the information society. This new view forces us to constantly relearn and develop new knowledge ? something which has resulted in large restructuring within the upper secondary school. New forms of teaching, where the pupils are given the oppo
We reviewed results of SBRT treatment of 138 patients with medically inoperable stage I NSCLC treated during 1996 - 2003 at five different centres in Sweden and Denmark. Mean age was 74 years ( range 56 - 90) with 69 men and 72 women. SBRT was delivered using a 3D conformal multifield technique and a stereotactic body frame. Doses delivered were 30 - 48 Gy (65% isodose at the periphery of planning
Purpose: To assess the association between cystatin C-derived estimates of kidney function and mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis. Materials and methods: Post-hoc analysis of sepsis patients in the FINNAKI-cohort (n = 802). Primary outcome was 90-day mortality. We measured plasma cystatin C and creatinine at intensive care unit (ICU) admission and estimated glomerular filtration rat
Climate change and its associated challenges may have an impact on people and communities. Studies provide conceptual and empirical insight of the relationship between social capital and resilience. However, the social dimensions of resilience have received little attention in climate change research. This short article provides a rapid review of published studies that investigate the social dimen
Detta är den åttonde årsrapporten från Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning, ett nationellt miljö-övervakningsprogram som koordineras av Lunds universitet på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket sedan 2010. Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning är ett samarbete mellan Sveriges Entomologiska Förening, Naturvårdsverket, Lunds universitet, Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet och Länsstyrelserna.

Climate change is affecting all regions of the globe, causing a shift of temperature distributions. As species try to track their optimal thermal conditions, they are also potentially met with new photic environments. Photoperiod is the main cue for synchronizing migratory birds' circannual rhythms, affecting both their physiology and migration. Thus, their ability to incorporate and adjust to
Cytostatika är läkemedel som används för att behandla cancer genom att hämma eller stoppa celldelning. De används även som immunhämmande medel, till exempel vid organtransplantationer och autoimmuna sjukdomar. Eftersom dessa läkemedel påverkar cellers tillväxt kan de vara skadliga även i mycket små mängder om de hamnar i miljön. Cytostatika har upptäckts i ytvatten, grundvatten och dricksvatten i Introduction: Cytostatic pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in the aquatic environment, raising concerns due to their persistence and toxicity. Background: Conventional wastewater treatment processes do not effectively remove these compounds. Advanced oxidation processes, such as ozonation, are needed to degrade cytostatic pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment. However, these process
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka effekterna av flotation-REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy, en sensoriskt reducerad avslappningsmetod) jämfört med passiv vila med lugnande musik på den subjektiva upplevelsen av fysisk ansträngning, mätt direkt efter högintensiv fysisk aktivitet. Fyrtiofyra deltagare (18 idrottare och 26 icke-idrottare) genomgick båda återhämtningsmetodern

Purpose: The purposes are to evaluate the change in mammographic density within individuals across screening rounds using automatic density software, to evaluate whether a change in breast density is associated with a future breast cancer diagnosis, and to provide insight into breast density evolution. Approach: Mammographic breast density was analyzed in women screened in Malmö, Sweden, between 2
Coffee is epidemiologically linked to health benefits and risks. Coffee is thought to be a diuretic. However, it can still contribute to daily fluid intake. Vasopressin is the most important physiological regulator of body fluid balance and diuresis. This study aimed to map the effects of coffee intake on vasopressin concentration. In the population-based cross-sectional Malmö Offspring Study (n =
The design of iron complexes with long-lived charge transfer states suitable for applications as photosensitizers remains a formidable challenge. Here, we investigated the effect of an extended ligand π-system on the ground- and excited-state properties of iron(II) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. For this purpose, three iron complexes based on the established [Fe(II)(pbmi)2]2+
