The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that perfusion SPECT, estimation of regional wall thickening using MRI and the distribution of ST changes on the admission ECG display similar localization of the MaR in patients with reperfused first-time MI. Eleven patients with first-time MI with ST-elevation underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), SPECT imaging within 3 hours

Långdistansflyttande fåglar uppvisar ett flertal gemensamma egenskaper som ger dem goda förutsättningar att regelbundet förflytta sig över kontinentala avstånd. De har exempelvis en effektiv flygmotor som gör att de kan hålla sig flygande, och en god förmåga att både lägga på sig, och bränna fett som flygbränsle. Fåglar uppvisar i regel också goda orienterings- och navigationsegenskaper, vilket ärMany birds are predisposed to annually undertake movements over large temporal and spatial scales. They have an efficient flight machinery, demonstrate impressive capacities in storing and burning fuel, and they exhibit necessary orientation and navigational skills. Avian migrants are still limited in the amount of time and energy they can allocate towards their movements and need to balance migra

BACKGROUND: The incidence of incisional hernia is up to 20 per cent after abdominal surgery. The management of patients with incisional hernia can be complex with an array of techniques and meshes available. Ensuring consistency in reporting outcomes across studies on incisional hernia is important and will enable appropriate interpretation, comparison and data synthesis across a range of clinical

This paper presents the results of systematically reviewing the current research literature on the use of agile practices and lean software development in global software engineering (GSE). The primary purpose is to highlight under which circumstances they have been applied efficiently. Some common terms related to agile practices (e.g. scrum, extreme programming) were considered in formulating th

Aim: To explore reach and experiences of participants during implementation of health-promoting meetings of seniors in a Swedish municipality context. Subjects and methods: A mixed-methods approach was used, including older people who were recruited consecutively and invited to participate as they applied for health care and/or home help services in the municipality. Inclusion criterion was alloca

Objectives: To identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in the cerebral white (WM) and the deep grey matter (GM) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: Patients with a clinical diagnosis of PD, multiple system atrophy (MSA) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) were included in the study. Patients

Objective: The standard surgical treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The aim of this study was to compare normal saline (NS) (0.9% sodium chloride) and Ringer’s acetate (RA) as irrigation fluid with regard to visibility, resection feasibility, coagulation and bleeding in bipolar TURP. Materials and methods: Twenty patients (mean age 7

This thesis explores crystal-phase engineering of nanowires to fabricate advanced quantum structures for charge and spin transport studies. Quantum dots formed by crystal-phase tuning during epitaxial growth of InAs nanowires were used as a starting point to realize and electrically characterize two different types of parallel-coupled quantum dots; electron-hole quantum dots and electron-electron

First meiotic division in females and males of Yponomeuta evonyrnellus (L.), Y. cagnagellus (Hiibner). Y. rnalinellus Zeller, Y. padellus (L), Y. rorellus (Hiibner) and Y. gigas Rebel was studied in the light microscope. In the heterogametic females the sex chromosomes were found to be associated in a sex chromosome trivalent. The sex chromosome trivalent, written AA W Z, consisted of a W‐chromos

Antalet subventionerade jobb har växt samtidigt som andelen utrikes födda bidragsanställda ökat och andelen funktionsnedsatta minskat. Anställningsbidragen är särskilt frekventa i handels-, restaurang-, städ- och bemanningsbranscherna. I föreliggande studie har samtliga nya anställningsbidrag 2016 i de fyra branscherna i Helsingborg undersökts. En tydlig etnisk segmentering påvisas genom att en beThe number of persons in Sweden with subsidized jobs has grown. At the same time, the share of foreign-born with subsidized jobs has increased, while the share of disabled has declined. The subsidized jobs are most common in the retail, restaurant, cleaning and staffing sectors. The present study investigates all new subsidized jobs in 2016 in these sectors in Helsingborg. The study found clear si

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), even when the disease is in remission, possibly due to abnormalities in GI motility. Small bowel motility can be assessed globally and in specific intestinal regions during magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) using a displacement mapping technique. Purpose: To investigate whether small bowel motility

According to the Global Burden of Disease study, occupational exposures to particulates, gases and fumes were responsible for 0.36 million deaths and 8.8 million disability-adjusted life years globally in 2015. This thesis focuses on two occupational groups that are at risk for developing adverse health effects from the time they spend in their working environments: cleaning workers and workers in

Diets rich in flavonoids have been related with low obesity rates, which could be related with their potential to inhibit pancreatic lipase, the main enzyme of fat assimilation. Some flavonoids can aggregate in aqueous medium suggesting that the inhibition mechanism could occur on both molecular and colloidal levels. This study investigates the interaction of two flavonoid aggregates, quercetin an

Two groups of normal subjects were submitted to repeated automated static threshold perimetry. Perimetric results were strongly affected by the level of experience in some subjects; in the majority, however, the effect of experience was small. Initial field tests often showed high numbers of depressed points. Sensitivity increased with perimetric training, particularly between the first sessions.

Background The Meta-Analysis of Radiotherapy in squamous cell Carcinomas of Head and neck (MARCH) showed that altered fractionation radiotherapy is associated with improved overall and progression-free survival compared with conventional radiotherapy, with hyperfractionated radiotherapy showing the greatest benefit. This update aims to confirm and explain the superiority of hyperfractionated radio

The aim of this article is to investigate ways in which welfare frontline workers’ conceptualization of Swedishness destroys asylum-seeking minors’ (16–17 years) possibilities of creating value during the service process in early integration. Focus group interviews and in-depth interviews were conducted with coaches at accommodation centres, schoolteachers and social workers. The analytical approa

We aimed to explore the experiences of teachers, autistic students and students' parents, before and after professional development intervention for teachers in primary school. The main participants were five autistic students aged 7–11 years in three primary schools (intervention schools), their parents and teachers. Five school contexts were studied, with three interventions and two comparisons.

10.1119/5.0074171.1 What is the acceleration of a swing as it passes the lowest point and as it turns at the highest point? What are the forces acting? These were a couple of the questions students were asked to discuss in small groups during their first week at university, as part of a tutorial session. On one occasion, two students were unable to reconcile their different viewpoints without teac

A series of conformationally restricted 0-, C-, S-, and N-“furanosides” have been synthesized, where the number 3 and 4 carbons are part of a norbornane ring system. All the carbons of the tetrahydrofuran ring are kept in one plane by the rigid norbornane skeleton, permitting only the ring oxygen to move above or below the tetrahydrofuran ring plane. This causes the substituents on carbon 2 to occ

Samples for isolation of dictyostelid cellular slime molds were obtained from 20 collecting sites at 18 localities in south central and southeastern Madagascar during May 2009. At least thirty species of dictyostelids representing seven genera were recovered from 52 samples of soil/humus. This total included 17 species described as new to science, 13 species already known from various localities t
