The call is coming from inside: your body’s own defences might be against you Mycobacterium avium is a species of bacteria, closely related to tuberculosis, that can cause pulmonary disease in people. Despite this, we likely come in contact with these microorganisms every day. They can be found in water reservoirs and in the soil, entering the lungs of the host – like humans and rodents – through
Why studying proteins is important All our cells contain hereditary information, DNA, that allows the building blocks of our body, the cells, to know how to behave. However, the DNA is only the instruction book while proteins are the key players doing all the important work. We have to cope with many situations throughout our lives, such as stress, hunger and sickness among various others, and it
Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Genome editing and investigation of the peroxisome & beta-oxidation For thousands of years humans have used yeast to brew beer, bake bread and make wine. Nowadays, these microorganisms can be used to produce various chemicals and proteins. One interesting compound is capsaicin, found in the chili pepper plant and commonly used in food, but lesser-known for its applic
This article explores the complex relationship between performance programs in higher music education and the evolving demands of current and future professional music scenes. Drawing upon career anchor theory and enactive cognitive science, it introduces a workshop-based framework to support students in reflecting on future working life. The framework decenters ideas of entrepreneurship and marke
Aim: In uncertain clinical situations, such as assessing the risk of exacerbation of apical periodontitis in root- filled teeth, un-dergraduate students can benefit from being trained to reflect. This study aimed to explore how students specifically reflectedon clinical experiences in relation to uncertainty when assessing a case involving a root- filled tooth with apical periodontitis.Methodolo
BACKGROUND: Catheterization of the vein is frequently a painful procedure. Assessing venous cannulation induced pain (VCP) before surgery have been used to predict the intensity of postoperative pain and postoperative opioid consumption. The aim of this study was to investigate the intra-individual variation in venous cannulation induced pain at three consecutive time points and factors influencin
Introduction: Qualitative assessment of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy on computed tomography (CT) after cardiac arrest is limited by interrater agreement. We explored how qualitative assessment can be improved. Methods: In-depth analysis of radiological items evaluated in a prospective sub-study within the Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (T
The model is based on an existing framework for high-cycle fatigue by Ottosen et al. (2008) that treats the fatigue damage as a time-continuous variable, opposed to relying on cycle-counting techniques. We propose a generalized formulation where the relationship between the fatigue limits for fully reversed shear stress and normal stress can take any value, unlike in the original formulation, wher
To secure sufficient, clean, and reliable drinking water amidst climate change, evolving land use, and population growth, artificial infiltration ponds are essential tools for drinking water providers in many areas. Optimizing their operation requires a detailed understanding of infiltration processes and subsurface water transport dynamics.At a Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) facility in southern
Epilepsy affects a significant portion of people worldwide and still requires alternative treatments due to resistance to anti-seizure medications. Gene therapy offers a promising alternative with several targets already established. Of these, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and its receptor GFR⍺1 are well recognised for their roles in enhancing inhibitory signalling and support
ADAR1 as a Therapeutic Target in Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. While early-stage prostate cancer can be managed effectively, once it spreads, treatment options are limited and usually not curative. Immunotherapy, which boosts the immune system to fight cancer, has been effective in some cancer types but not in
Can Lin28b treat childhood leukemia? B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is one of the more common types of cancer in children. This disease originates mainly from progenitors of a white blood cell type known as the B-cell. Mature B-cells are mainly known for helping us clear infections by producing pathogen-binding antibodies. Because BCP-ALL cancer cells stem from B-cell pre
Vad kan stoppa mördarbakterierna? Varje år insjuknar tusentals svenskar i infektioner orsakade av bakterien Streptococcus pyogenes, även känd som grupp A-streptokocker. För de allra flesta yttrar sig detta som en ofarlig halsfluss som går över av sig själv eller med hjälp av antibiotika. Men för en liten andel leder det till allvarliga tillstånd såsom septisk chock och vävnadsnekros som i vissa f
Hur Påverkar Fosterutvecklingens Miljö Uppkomsten av Barncancer Neuroblastom är en aggressiv barncancer som uppstår under fosterutvecklingen när det sympatiska nervsystemet skapas, under fosterutvecklingen. Sympatiska nervsystemet kommer från neurallistceller, som vandrar ut i fostret och bildar olika celltyper. Tidigare forskning har visat att neuroblastom består av två huvudsakliga celltyper: m
The European Society for Clinical Evaluation of Balance Disorders (ESCEBD), based in Nancy, France, has been meeting yearly since 2005 to discuss equilibrium-related themes that are not yet clearly defined or standardized. One of our latest discussions was with regard to outlining strategies of internal and external compensation that may be used to cope with balance disorders. A Committee was elec
While NH3 has gained a lot of interest as a potential carbon-free fuel, at present, there are notable disagreements when it comes to predictions of some of its combustion characteristics, such as burning velocity or species mole fractions, in particular of NOx, which have the potential to cause significant harm to both human health and the environment. Nevertheless, because the NH3 flame presents
Nearly 40 % of individuals will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, translating to an estimated 20 million new cases annually. Despite remarkable therapeutic advances, only 15–20 % of patients achieve durable responses to immunotherapy, and the high cost of treatment (illustrated by immune checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab and nivolumab, totaling roughly $191,000 per year) remains a
Phytoplankton employ a wide variety of defenses to reduce mortality from zooplankton grazing. Many such defenses are inducible, that is, they are upregulated in the event of increased predation. Thus, theory predicts that they should come at a cost to the organism. When exposed to predatory cues from a copepod predator, the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia seriata upregulates the production of the neurotox
