The aim was to investigate the association between pre-diagnostic intakes of polyphenol classes (flavonoids, lignans, phenolic acids, stilbenes, and other polyphenols) in relation to breast cancer survival (all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality). We used data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort. Pre-diagnostic usual diet was assessed using dietary
Although subjects with inherited defects of the classical complement pathway component C2 are at increased risk of infection, there are few experimental data available on which bacterial pathogens they might be susceptible to. In order to investigate whether patients with inherited C2 deficiency may have increased susceptibility to Streptococcus pyogenes infection we have analysed opsonization wit
I denna artikel analyseras muntligt gestaltade erfarenheter hos 27 överlevande efter kriget i nordvästra Bosnien under 1990-talet. Syftet är att dels beskriva hur de intervjuade framställer det sociala fenomenet «offerskap», dels analysera diskursiva mönster som medverkar i konstruktionen av kategorin «offer». Aktörernas anspråk på statusen «offer» skapar en konkurrens om offerrollen efter kriget.The aim of this article is to analyse verbally portrayed experiences of 27 survivors of the 1990’s war in northwestern Bosnia. My focus is on describing how the interviewees portray the social phenomenon of «victimhood» and on analysing the discursive patterns that contribute to construction of the category «victim». When, after the war, different actors claim this «victim» status, it sparks a com
Bolger C, Tufvesson E, Anderson SD, Devereux G, Ayres JG, Bjermer L, Sue-Chu M, Kippelen P. Effect of inspired air conditions on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction and urinary CC16 levels in athletes. J Appl Physiol 111: 1059-1065, 2011. First published July 28, 2011; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00113.2011.-Injury to the airway epithelium has been proposed as a key susceptibility factor for exercis
The present study employs square cross-section ribbed channels with different arrangements of downstream half-size ribs to determine the most optimal configurations for augmenting heat transfer rates with minimized pressure drop penalties. The channel inlet Reynolds number ranges from 20,000 to 160,000. The influence of downstream ribs arrangement on the overall performance characteristics of ribb
At the turn of the nineteenth century, most men wore suits. One easily gets the impression that all these men look more or less identical; the suits seem to resemble uniforms. Furthermore, compared to the women’s clothing of the period, the suit seems restrained and even drab in its shape and colour. The dissertation takes up this point and examines the claim that all men look alike in a suit. The
Introduction: We conducted a prospective observational study in cardiac arrest survivors treated with mild induced hypothermia, evaluating different platelet function tests at hypo-and normothermia. We also investigated the relation between gastric emptying and vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP). Methods: Comatose survivors of out of hospital cardiac arrest were included and divided into
Objectives. To study possible nerve regeneration of a damaged auditory nerve by the use of stem cell transplantation. Methods. We transplanted HNPCs to the rat AN trunk by the internal auditory meatus (IAM). Furthermore, we studied if addition of BDNF affects survival and phenotypic differentiation of the grafted HNPCs. A bioactive nanofiber gel (PA gel), in selected groups mixed with BDNF, was ap
The taphonomic and diagenetic processes by which organic substances are preserved in animal remains are not completely known and the originality of putative metazoan biomolecules in fossil samples is a matter of scientific discussion. Here we report on biomarker information preserved in a fossil whale bone from an Oligocene phosphatic limestone (El Cien Fm., Mexico), with a focus on fatty acyl com
Four systems for household food waste collection are compared in relation the environmental impact categories eutrophication potential, acidification potential, global warming potential as well as energy use. Also, a hotspot analysis is performed in order to suggest improvements in each of the compared collection systems. Separate collection of household food waste in paper bags (with and without
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the determinants and consequences of orthostatic hypotension in the middle-aged segment of the general population. METHODS: A population of 5722 men aged 52.6 +/- 3.6 years, previously included in the Malmö Preventive Project (n = 22 444 men), was re-screened after 5.6 +/- 1.0 years and thereafter followed up over a period of 19.6 +/- 5.3 years. RESULTS: At re-screening,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tumörer i ben och mjukdelar är vanliga men utgör endast 1 % av alla maligna neoplasier. De elakartade tumörerna är ofta utmanande att diagnostisera pga deras relativt likartade morfologi samt att de är ovanliga. Således är all tilläggsinformation värdefull och genetiska analysmetoder kan bidra med information som är användbar och i vissa fall tom avgörande för diagnostiTumors of bone and soft tissue are common but only constitute 1 % of all malignant tumors. The malignant tumors are often difficult to diagnose due to their rarity and morphological resemblance between subtypes. This makes the diagnostic process challenging. Thus, there is a need for ancillary techniques, such as genetic analyses, not only for diagnostic purposes, but also for obtaining informatio
Over the last years an expanding family of small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) has been identified in eukaryotic genomes which behave as sequence-specific triggers for mRNA degradation, translation repression, heterochromatin formation and genome stability. To achieve their effectors functions, sRNAs associate with members of the Argonaute protein family. Argonaute proteins are segregated into three para
Background: Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common inherited lysosomal storage disorder in humans, caused by mutations in the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA1). GD is clinically heterogeneous and although the type of GBA1 mutation plays a role in determining the type of GD, it does not explain the clinical variability seen among patients. Cumulative evidence from recent
Ökande marktemperaturer har rapporterats från hela Arktis. Marktemperaturen är känslig för klimatförändringar och spelar en viktig roll för biologiska och fysiska processer i jorden. I områden med permafrost (mark som är frusen minst två år i följd) kan en ökad marktemperatur leda till att permafrosten tinar, vilket kan få genomgripande konsekvenser på vegetation, hydrologi och infrastruktur. UpptIncreasing ground temperatures have been documented all around the Arctic. Ground temperatures are sensitive climate indicators and play an important role in biological and physical processes that occur in soils. Increases in ground temperatures can lead to permafrost thawing which in turn can have profound effects on vegetation, hydrology and infrastructure. Also the greenhouse gas balance can be
Dhaka the capital city of Bangladesh is one of the largest and most populous cities in the world. According to World Bank, Bangladesh has been experiencing a rapid urbanization over the last few decades, and Dhaka City’s projected 20 million residents will make it the third-largest city in the world by 2020. Dhaka city is also one of the most densely populated areas of the world. This paper tried
Xylanases without contaminating cellulases are produced by a wide variety of aerobic bacteria and fungi but anaerobic organisms producing such enzymes are rare. Clostridial species viz., Clostridium beijerinckii LU-1, C. acetobutylicum LU-1, C. butyricum and C. bifermentans LU-1 isolated from rumen produced xylanase (E.C. 3.2.1.8) of 1.5-4.2 U/ml on oat spelt xylan as sole carbon source.
