A growing body of literature on the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is becoming available, but a synthesis of available data has not been conducted. We performed a scoping review of currently available clinical, epidemiological, laboratory, and chest imaging data related to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, Scopus and LILACS from 01 January 2019 to 24 Feb
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningEn stor del av världens energikällor är baserade på förbränning och kan återfinnas i allt från bilar och båtar som drivs av förbränningsmotorer till gasturbiner och kraftverk som används till elproduktion. Den centrala biten inom förbränning är en kemisk omvandling av bränslet då det reagerar med syre till att bilda de två huvudsakliga produkterna, vatten och koldAbstractThe work presented in this thesis is mainly focused on the development andapplication of infrared laser-induced grating techniques in order to measure the gasphase temperature and species concentrations in reactive flows. The two techniquesused for this purpose are laser-induced grating spectroscopy (LIGS) and degeneratefour-wave mixing (DFWM). Their coherent nature allows to perform laser
The evaluation of modelling diagnostics with appropriate observations is an important task that establishes the capabilities and reliability of models. In this study we compare aerosol and cloud properties obtained from three different climate models (ECHAM-HAM, ECHAM-HAMSALSA, and NorESM) with satellite observations using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. The simulator M
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of care based on comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) as a complement to usual care in an outpatient setting with those of usual care alone. The assessment was performed 36 months after study inclusion.DESIGN: Randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded, single-center trial.SETTING: A geriatric ambulatory unit in a municipality in the southeast of Sweden.PARTICIP
De flesta anser nog att kemi och speciellt teoretisk kemi är ett mycket komplext ämne, medan lera nog anses som ett begripligt koncept. Det man kanske inte tänker på är att många leror utgörs till stor del av elektrostatiskt laddade nanopartiklar där dess beteende kan förstås genom just ämnena kemi och teoretisk kemi. De laddade nanopartiklarna, även kallade lerplattor, är formade som tunna pannkaMany clay minerals consist of charged nanoplatelets that swell in an aqueous solution. The swelling and the microstructure depend on the type of clay mineral but are also dependent on, for example, the ionic composition and the temperature of the solution. The synthetic clay mineral Laponite and the natural clay mineral montmorillonite have been studied experimentally and theoretically. The swelli
Background Psychological stress is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the mechanism by which stress is associated with CVD is not entirely understood. Although genetic factors are implied in both stress responsivity and cardiovascular reactivity, no studies to date have investigated their interactions with stress for cardiovascular end points. The objective was to elu
In recent years, there have been notable advances with the development of anticancer drugs including those targeting protein tyrosine kinases such as the c-Met receptor, which has been implicated in the development and progression of several cancers. However, despite such progress, drug resistance continues to be the single most important cause of cancer treatment failure, and understanding the me
The totality of microbial genomes in the gut exceeds the size of the human genome, having around 500-fold more genes that importantly complement our coding potential. Microbial genes are essential for key metabolic processes, such as the breakdown of indigestible dietary fibres to short-chain fatty acids, biosynthesis of amino acids and vitamins, and production of neurotransmitters and hormones. D
Essentials: Research suggests that intensive treatment episodes may increase the risk to develop inhibitors. We performed an international nested case-control study with 298 non-severe hemophilia A patients. Surgery and a high dose of factor VIII concentrate were associated with increased inhibitor risk. Physicians need to review arguments for factor VIII dose and elective surgery extra critically
High-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is an established cause of malignant disease. We used a societal perspective to estimate the cost of HR HPV-related cervical, vulvar, vaginal, anal, and penile precancer and cancer, and oropharyngeal cancer in Sweden in 2006, 1 year before HPV vaccination became available in the country. Materials and methods This prevalence-based cost-of-illness
Background: The aim of this paper was to review the literature on vacuum-Assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction (VAWCM) in open abdomen therapy. It was designed as systematic review of observational studies. Methods: A Pub Med, EMBASE and Cochrane search from 2007/01-2016/07 was performed combining the Medical Subject Headings "vacuum", "mesh-mediated fascial traction", "tempora
Lung diseases impose a huge economic and health burden worldwide. A key aspect of several adult lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including emphysema, is aberrant tissue repair, which leads to an accumulation of damage and impaired respiratory function. Currently, there are few effective treatments available for these disea
New regimens are constantly being pursued in cancer treatment, especially in the context of treatment-resistant cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are assumed to be involved in cancer recurrence. Here, we investigated the anti-cancer activity of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens and of synthetic derivatives in breast cancer cell lines, with a specific focus on activity aga
Recent work has expanded our knowledge in somatic genetic events related to melanoma progression. It has become increasingly clear that multiple genetic events are required for melanoma to develop and that melanoma is a vastly heterogeneous disease. Signaling pathways that are essential for tumor progression have been pinpointed due to recent technological developments, which has led to the vigoro
Non-stationary signals are very common in nature, e.g. sound waves such as human speech, bird song and music. It is usually meaningful to describe a signal in terms of time and frequency. Methods for doing so exist and are well defined. From the time representation it is possible to see the oscillations or waves of the signal and if the signal changes over time. From the frequency representation,
