Background Open abdomen (OA) treatment often results in difficulties in closing the abdomen. Highest closure rates are seen with the vacuum-assisted wound closure (VAWC) technique. However, we have experienced occasional failures with this technique in cases with severe visceral swelling needing longer treatment periods with open abdomen. Feasibility and short-term outcome of a novel combination o
Background: Cellular interactions elicited by Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein antigen 1 (PfEMP1) are brought about by multiple DBL ( Duffy binding like), CIDR ( cysteine-rich interdomain region) and C2 domain types. Elucidation of the functional and structural characteristics of these domains is contingent on the abundant availability of recombinant protein in a soluble form. A

Care about the elderly is the municipals’ responsibility, and this task is regulated in the law of social services and the law of health and healthcare. The legislation grant individual elderly the right to a standard of living that in the law
Insects have been recommended by the FAO as a sustainable food alternative to meat. Despite their nutritional quality and sustainability, most Western countries still see insects as belonging far away from the dinner table. Although still a niche market, Denmark has been at the forefront of innovation and adoption of edible insects. I used integral theory to map out the structural, cultural and pe

Sufficient solute and water removal are crucial for adequate peritoneal dialy- sis (PD) treatment. However, present clinical tests for peritoneal membrane trans- port characteristics are cumbersome and time consuming. Here, a mathematical model consisting of linear differential equations aiming to describe the complex process of solute and water transport accross the peritoneal membrane, in order
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is a furan-based platform chemical that can be used in various applications, as a renewable alternative to fossil-derived compounds or materials. It can be produced from biobased raw materials with high-sugar content, such as molasses. Sugar beet molasses is produced as a side product from domestic sugar beet plants in southern Sweden. Utilising it as a raw material
Hyran för kommersiella lokaler regleras utifrån principen om marknadshyra, vilken sätts av ingående kontrakt mellan hyresvärd och hyresgäst. Hyresavtalen beror vanligtvis på lokalens fastighetsanknutna attribut och medför givetvis att hyresnivåerna kommer att skilja sig åt mellan varje enskilt kontrakt. Förfarandet vid avtalsupprättande är välbeprövat och finns reglerat i Jordabalken (1979:994). SThe rents for commercial premises are regulated by the principle of market rent, which are set by contracts between landlords and tenants. The leases typically depends on the property related attributes and naturally means that rental levels will differ between each individual contract. However, according to the Swedish property indicator, the general rent levels of commercial stores and offices,
A combination of acoustic trapping and impedance spectroscopy for micrometer-sized objects is here presented for the first time. Acoustic trapping has proven to be a well-functioning method for non-contact immobilization and positioning of particles or cells in microfluidic channels. The combination with impedance spectroscopy allows for simultaneous electrical measurements on the trapped objects.
TGFα is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family and is one of the ligands for the EGF- receptor. The precursor of TGFα, pro-TGFα, is a transmembrane protein. The aim of this project has been to establish a model for studies of pro-TGFα effects on EGF receptor signalling, in particular through Gab1, a docking protein involved in PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. The experiments in this thes
Cerebral Palsy, commonly referred to as CP, is a neurological disorder that results in loss or impairment of motor function, which affects body movement, muscle control, muscle coordination and balance. In Sweden, about 200 children are diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy every year and the disorder can cause imbalances between the muscles. These imbalances can lead to contractures which is equiva- lent
Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka om brottslagstiftningen, närmare bestämt uppsåtsrekvisitet, fängelsepresumtionen och bestämmelsen om rättspsykiatrisk vård, tillämpas enhetligt när det gäller psykiskt störda lagöverträdare? Efter att ha besvarat den frågan skulle svaret fungera som ett underlag för en diskussion om huruvida rättstillämpningen vid allvarlig psykisk störning är förutsebar ur ett rThe purpose of the essay was to investigate whether criminal law, in particular the necessary intentional prerequisite, the presumption of prison and the provision of forensic psychiatric care, is applied uniformly in the case of mentally disrupted offenders? After answering that question, the answer would serve as a basis for a discussion as to whether law enforcement in case of severe mental dis
Sydvästra Grönlands arkeiska berggrund (North Atlantic Craton, NAC) intruderades av ett stort antal mafiska intrusioner och diabasgångar under arkeikum och proterozoikum, vars åldrar är dåligt kända. Detta arbete omfattar dateringar av fem intrusioner med U-Pb metoden av mineralen zirkon och baddeleyit från tre olika generationer av mafiska bergarter. En mafisk-ultramafisk lagrad intrusion i FiskeThe Archaean bedrock of southern Greenland (the North Atlantic Craton) is host to a large number of mafic intrusions and dyke swarms. This study present a robust U-Pb zircon age of 2990.1 ± 13 Ma for a mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion in the Fiskefjord region and four baddeleyite U-Pb ages of doleritic dykes that range between c. 2500 and c. 2050-2030 Ma. The dyke located SE of Ameralik Fjord is
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka om möjligheterna till resning i brottmål till förmån för en tilltalad, avgränsat till resningsgrunden nya omständigheter och bevis, är tillräckliga. Resningsbestämmelserna bygger på en avvägning mellan intresset av att en lagakraftvunnen dom förblir orubblig, orubblighetsprincipen, och intresset av materiellt riktiga avgöranden, sanningsprincipen. OrubbligheThe purpose of this thesis is to examine if the possibilities to grant new trial in favour of the defendant in criminal cases are sufficient, limited to new circumstances and evidence as cause for new trial. The new trial provisions are based upon a consideration between the rule of immovability and the rule of truth, that is, the interest of an immovable legally binding judgment opposite the inte
Små regulatoriska molekyler i vårt blod Sedan det mänskliga genomet kartlades i början av 2000-talet har stora upptäckter gjorts och teknikutvecklingen har gått fort. Dagens sekvenseringsmaskiner är kraftfulla och kan sekvensera hela det mänskliga genomet på bara två dagar. I mitt masterarbete har jag undersökt små korta RNA-molekyler i mänskligt blod. Denna typ av molekyler är mycket lovande somAbstract In recent years focused research aimed at finding new specific and sensitive biomarkers for detection, classification and, monitoring of human cancers has been ongoing. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, 19-24 nucleotides, noncoding RNAs that are stably expressed in body fluids such as blood. These circulating RNAs have shown great promise as biomarkers, because the unique expression patterns
