Complications associated with peripheral or central routes for central venous cannulation.

We undertook a review of studies comparing complications of centrally or peripherally inserted central venous catheters. Twelve studies were included. Catheter tip malpositioning (9.3% vs 3.4%, p = 0.0007), thrombophlebitis (78 vs 7.5 per 10 000 indwelling days, p = 0.0001) and catheter dysfunction (78 vs 14 per 10 000 indwelling days, p = 0.04) were more common with peripherally inserted catheter

Fashion and function: challenges faced by textiles incorporated with phase change materials

Designers focus on fashion and appearance, whereas safety and protection engineers and physiologists emphasize functions in terms of developing functional and protective clothing. Phase change materials (PCMs) have been used in textiles and clothing to achieve cooling or warming function. The objective of this paper was to compare effectiveness of PCM cooling or warming determined by critical fact

Analys av HER2 i bröstcancer kvalitetssäkrad. Viktig behandlingsprediktiv och prognostisk faktor.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed and/or amplified in 15-20% of all breast cancers, and is associated with an aggressive tumour type with impaired prognosis and a predictive marker for trastuzumab treatment. HER2 status can be determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) at protein level and by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysing gene amplification, and i

Cholesterol-lowering and anti-atherogenic effects of oats in mice

The cholesterol-lowering effect of oats is well established, but the crucial properties eliciting this effect need to be further investigated to optimize the use of oats as functional foods. Furthermore, there are almost no reports investigating the effect of oats on atherosclerosis development. This thesis describes our work with finding suitable mouse models to study cholesterol-lowering and ant

The crystal structure of the pathogenic collagen type II-specific mouse monoclonal antibody CIIC1 Fab: Structure to function analysis.

Monoclonal anti-collagen type II antibody CIIC1 is an arthritogenic autoantibody, which induces arthritis in mice. We crystallized and solved the structure of CIIC1 Fab molecule. Analysis of structure revealed an interaction between the CDR regions of one Fab to the CH1 domain of another Fab, which resembles an antibody-antigen interaction. ELISA experiments confirmed the cross-reactivity of both
