Purpose: To analyse clinical characteristics and risk factors for post-operative endophthalmitis (POE) in a Swedish patient insurance database and compare prevalence of POE with two national quality registers. Methods: We analysed 218 medical records of patients who claimed compensation for POE following ocular surgery from 2010 to 2020. The data were cross-referenced with national quality registe

Pressure on consumer goods manufacturers to develop new products with significantly less environmental impact is growing, through increased consumer awareness of environmental issues and governments setting ambitious emissions reductions targets. A strategic response to this pressure is to prepare a portfolio of innovative product ideas to meet a range of future emissions reductions targets. Howev

AIMS : The non-invasive assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and filling pressure in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is still an open issue. Pulmonary blood volume index (PBVI) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been proposed as a quantitative biomarker of haemodynamic congestion. We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of PBVI for left atrial pressure (LAP) esti

Purpose: To assess mean change in visual acuity (VA) overall and stratified by baseline VA after 1 and 2 years’ treatment with aflibercept in a real-life setting. Methods: This was an observational cohort study using nationwide data from the Swedish Macula Register. Treatment-naïve patient eyes with wet age-related macular degeneration and prescribed aflibercept from January 2013 to December 2014

As found in the health studies literature, the levels of climate association between epidemiological diseases have been found to vary across regions. Therefore, it seems reasonable to allow for the possibility that relationships might vary spatially within regions. We implemented the geographically weighted random forest (GWRF) machine learning method to analyze ecological disease patterns caused

Background: Baleen whales are a clade of gigantic and highly specialized marine mammals. Their genomes have been used to investigate their complex evolutionary history and to decipher the molecular mechanisms that allowed them to reach these dimensions. However, many unanswered questions remain, especially about the early radiation of rorquals and how cancer resistance interplays with their huge n

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the visual outcome and self-reported vision-targeted health status in patients treated with intravitreal ranibizumab for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: A total of 51 eyes from 50 patients aged 76 ± 7 years, with wet AMD not previously treated, were included in this prospective study. Best corrected visual acuity was examin

Summertime measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes were carried out over a range of high-arctic ecosystem types in the valley Zackenbergdalen since 1996 using both chamber and eddy covariance methodology. The net ecosystem CO2 exchange and CH4 flux data presented reveal a high degree of inter-annual variability within the dominant vegetation types in the valley, but also show distinct differences betwe

The modeling of industrial combustion applications today is almost exclusively based on two-equation turbulence models. Despite its known limitations, the most the widely used model is still the standard k-ε model. The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of two-equation turbulence models applied to a confined swirling flow. Numerical modeling of an axis-symmetric confined sud

High and low pollen deposition years in the period 1998-2010 were recorded for ten forest-forming trees in Roztocze (SE Poland) using Tauber-style traps. The coincidence of very high/low pollen deposition years recorded in Tauber traps and aerobiological data obtained by volumetric samplers shows that these phenomena occur simultaneously in different places across vast areas of a tree's distributi

The study concerns whether DNA flow cytometry and estrogen receptor analysis might help predict which breast cancer patients, particularly node-positive ones, were at the greatest risk of developing loco-regional recurrence (LRR). Such patients would best benefit from postoperative radiotherapy following modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection. After this type of surgery, 50

PurposeThe location of a logistics facility is strategic decision, impacting distribution cost, efficiency and environmental impact. The purpose of this paper is to systemize existing knowledge by a literature review. Based on the literature review we propose a framework in this area of theoretical and practical relevance.Design/methodology/approachWe have examined the peer-reviewed literature on

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är uppdelad i två delar. Del I analyserar kapacitet för linjära modulationssystem med en bärvåg. Inom dessa system så skickas bitarna som en sekvens av pulser, där varje puls representerar en bit. När pulserna lanseras över kommunikationskanalen, så kommer de utsättas för reflektioner, interferens, och andra störningar. Kapaciteten är en övre gräns på antal

BACKGROUND: Liver resection provides the best chance for cure in colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases. A variety of factors that might influence survival and recurrence have been identified. Predictive models can help in risk stratification, to determine multidisciplinary treatment and follow-up for individual patients. AIMS: To systematically review available prognostic models described for o
