Background: Nocturnal hypoxemia commonly affects people with pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Research Question: What are the current practices for assessment of sleep and nocturnal hypoxemia in PF, and what are the research priorities and outcome measures of importance for nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT)? Study Design and Methods: People with PF and health care professionals (HCPs) with expertise in PF, s

PURPOSE – Comparative studies demonstrate that patients who use electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) experience better outcomes; however, research comparing ePRO designs to determine optimal strategies for routine clinical practice is limited. We aimed to determine the impact of a novel checkbox format for presenting items in a postoperative symptom-assessment ePRO tool.METHODS – Patients

We present results of Population III (Pop III) formation in the megatron suite of simulations, which self-consistently follows radiation and non-equilibrium chemistry, and resolves gas at near-pc resolution in a Milky Way-mass progenitor at Cosmic Dawn. While the very first Pop III stars form in haloes with masses well below the atomic cooling limit, the majority of Pop III stars form in more mass

How we measure success in signal comprehension experiments fundamentally shapes our conclusions. Two recent studies have demonstrated that humans can guess the meanings of novel vocalizations and ape gestures above chance when selecting from limited alternatives. We replicated both experiments using open-ended responses instead of multiple choice. For the vocalization data, where participants prov

PURPOSE: Irradiation inflicts acute injuries to the intestinal mucosa with rapid apoptosis induction and subsequent reduction in epithelial surface area. It may therefore be assumed that the intestinal barrier function is affected. The aim of this study was to compare the mucosal permeability in irradiated rectum and nonirradiated sigmoid colon from patients subjected to radiation therapy before s

Divergent selection and local adaptation are responsible for many phenotypic differences between populations, potentially leading to speciation through the evolution of reproductive barriers. Here we evaluated the morphometric divergence among west European populations of Reed Bunting in order to determine the extent of local adaptation relative to two important selection pressures often associate

In the early postwar period, improvements in life expectancy in many Western countries made health authorities, health scientists and politicians believe that social differences in mortality converged. The assumption was that inequality, when measured as death rates, was on steady decline, possibly even on the brink of disappearing. The question is then, how far back in time can social differences

1. Geolocation by light allows for tracking animal movements, based on measurements of light intensity over time by a data-logging device (geolocator). Recent developments of ultra-light devices (<2 g) broadened the range of target species and boosted the number of studies using geolocators. However, an inherent problem of geolocators is that any factor or process that changes the natural light in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Formstabilitet, dvs. förmågan för träet att behålla sin form, är en av de viktigaste parametrarna när trä används som byggnadsmaterial eller för andra ändamål. I allmänhet ändras träets dimensioner och form när dess fuktkvot ändras. Detta är dock inte önskvärt i konstruktioner, varför det behövs metoder som förbättrar formstabiliteten. I denna avhandling har inverkan aShape stability, the ability of the wood to retain its shape, is one of the most important parameters when using timber as a building material and for other applications. Generally, timber undergoes changes in dimensions and shape when its moisture content is changed. However, this can often not be tolerated in constructions and thus, methods to improve the shape stability have to be found. In th

Describing the biotic and abiotic processes that are responsible for the formation of spatial patterns in predators and their prey is crucial for improving our understanding of food-web interactions. We studied the spatial distribution of four abundant spider species and three common groups of epedaphic Collembola prey in a beech-dominated (Fagus sylvatica) forest floor habitat and related the obs

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess whether grating-based X-ray imaging may have a role in imaging of pulmonary nodules on radiographs. Materials and methods: A mouse lung containing multiple lung tumors was imaged using a small-animal scanner with a conventional X-ray source and a grating interferometer for phase-contrast imaging. We qualitatively compared the signal characteristics

Adaptive chemistry is based on the principle that instead of having one comprehensive model describing the entire range of chemical source term space (typically parameters related to temperature, pressure and species concentrations), a set of computationally simpler models are used, each describing a local region (in multidimensional space) or phases (in zero-dimensional space). In this work, an a

Introduction: Acquired AmpC enzymes, classified as miscellaneous extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLM) enzymes according to a recently proposed beta-lactamase classification, are increasing according to several publications. Simple and rapid methods for detection of ESBLM are needed for appropriate infection control. A gel-based multiplex PCR method for acquired bla(AmpC) detection and subtype

Mild induced hypothermia is used for neuroprotection in patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest. Temperature-dependent effects on rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM(®)) assays with EXTEM(®), FIBTEM(®), or APTEM(®) in cardiac arrest patients have not previously been studied. Ten patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent induced hypothermia were studied during stab

Objective: To characterise distinctive clinical features of giant prolactinomas in women. Design: A multicentre, retrospective case series and literature review. Methods: We collected data from 15 female patients with a pituitary tumour larger than 4 cm and prolactin levels above 1000 mu g/l and identified 19 similar cases from the literature; a gender-based comparison of the frequency and age dis

In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), thrombus material is often present in partial or total coronary occlusion of the coronary vessel. However, prior to the thrombus aspiration during ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Scandinavia (TASTE) trial, it remained unclear whether routine thrombus aspiration during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment of STEMI would resu
