Background: All available recommendations about the management of antithrombotic therapies (ATs) in patients who experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI) are mainly based on expert opinion because of the lack of strength in the available evidence-based medicine. Currently, the withdrawal and the resumption of AT in these patients is empirical, widely variable, and based on the individual assessmen

In this paper, we present a fully automated generative method for brain tumor segmentation in multi-modal magnetic resonance images. The method is based on the type of generative model often used for segmenting healthy brain tissues, where tissues are modeled by Gaussian mixture models combined with a spatial atlas-based tissue prior. We extend this basic model with a tumor prior, which uses convo

Part II of the European clinical guidelines for Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders (ECAP journal, 2011) provides updated information and recommendations for psychological interventions for individuals with tic disorders, created by a working group of the European Society for the Study of Tourette Syndrome (ESSTS). A systematic literature search was conducted to obtain original studies of ps

Aims: Resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who remain comatose after hospital arrival are at high risk of mortality due to anoxic brain injury. MicroRNA are small-non-coding RNA molecules ultimately involved in gene-silencing. They show promise as biomarkers, as they are stable in body fluids. The microRNA 9-3p (miR-9-3p) is associated with neurological injury in trauma and

Since the 1990s, economic policy instruments have become increasingly important to Swedish climate policy. To understand the characteristics of current systems, this paper presents an analysis of the development of economic policy instruments since the 1950s, with a focus on Swedish industry. Since the introduction of energy taxation, industry has received preferential treatment in the interests o

Background: A prediction model that estimates survival and neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients has the potential to improve clinical management in emergency rooms. Methods: We used the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation to study all out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases in Sweden from 2010 to 2020. We had 393 candidate predictors describing the cir

INTRODUCTION: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with immune disturbances, including a higher incidence of infections and autoimmune diseases as well as a net pro-inflammatory state. Natural killer (NK) cells, a key component of the innate immune system, have been less well-studied in PTSD despite their importance in immunity.METHODS: We studied two independent samples of co

The world is rapidly urbanizing. To contribute to the understanding of the socio-environmental changes brought about by urban sprawl and densification, this thesis examines wellbeing and vulnerability in low-income peri-urban areas in and around Bogotá, Colombia. For that purpose, I develop a typology of peri-urban settlements that includes four main settlement classifications: agriculture-based,

Det första skedet när ett byggnadsverk ska uppföras är det konceptuella designskedet, det är här de första besluten om utformningen av byggnadsverket görs. I det traditionella arbetsflödet utformas byggnadsverket först i ett ritprogram, sedan används ett annat datorverktyg för att verifiera att det utformade byggnadsverket kan hantera de krafter som uppstår, t.ex. vind, egentyngd osv. Detta arbeteBefore a new structure can be built, it must be designed. This design phase is a very important step in the building process. The total cost of the structure and its structural performance are largely dependent on the structural design process. The impact of decisions on the design process is initially high and declines as the design matures. However, few computational tools are available for the

Justifying Rational Planning: on the indeterminacy of pragmatic considerations Justifying Rational Choice: the role of success* Bruno Verbeek Leiden University, Netherlands §1 Introduction The theory of rational choice can be interpreted in several ways. One can regard the theory as a representing the choices of agents. The theory is interpreted as an empirical hypothesis for further research. Alt

29_Inspirationsbidrag PW TR_mod LTHs 11:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 9 december 2021 Abstract— Data from LTH’s course evaluation survey CEQ suggest that the rapid transition from campus to online teaching in the spring of 2020 made the teaching less prone to support a deep approach to learning. Here we show that in the spring of 2021, survey items related to Good Teaching and Clear Goals a

Axonal injuries commonly contribute to poor functional outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI). To assess cerebral blood flow (CBF) and energy metabolic disturbances in a TBI model of widespread axonal injury, we exposed 105 adult mice to the central (midline) fluid percussion injury (cFPI) diffuse TBI model, or sham injury, and used 9.4 T magnetic resonance (MR) arterial spin labeling (AS

Background: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends.

Introduction: Cranioplasty, a surgical procedure to restore skull integrity and aesthetic contour following decompressive craniectomy, poses challenges in material selection and timing, driven by the lack of guidelines and ongoing regulatory changes. Research question: This study aimed to provide an overview of current cranioplasty practices in Europe, explicitly addressing a potential shift towar

BACKGROUND: Head impacts are common in contact sports such as boxing and occur at times of elevated core body and brain temperatures induced by the exercise. Following impact, elevated brain temperature may lead to the development of exacerbated brain injury that can be monitored by blood biomarkers. Blood-brain biomarkers S100B and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) reflect glial injury; neur
