Background: Patients with diabetes admitted to emergency care face a higher risk of complications, including prolonged hospital stays, admissions to the intensive care unit and mortality. Aim: To develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict 30-day mortality in patients with diabetes admitted to the emergency department (ED). Design and setting: A cohort study utilizing data from all nine ED’s
Preclinical studies suggest that taurine may exert neuroprotective effects. However, its relevance to dementia risk in human populations remains unclear. We investigated the associations between mid-life dietary taurine intake, circulating taurine concentrations, and the risk of late-life all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VaD) in a large prospective cohort. This
We report the synthesis of highly enantiopure perdeuterated poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid polymers with well-defined molecular weight by polymerization of perdeuterated lactides. Enantiopure D- and L-lactic acid-d4 monomers were synthesized from sodium pyruvate-d3 using D- and L-lactate dehydrogenase enzymes (D-LDH and L-LDH) as biocatalysts. The reduced form of the co-enzyme nico

Both disturbed sleep and lack of exercise can disrupt metabolism in pregnancy. Accelerometery was used to objectively assess movement during waking (physical activity) and movement during sleeping (sleep disturbance) periods and evaluated relationships with continuous blood glucose variation during pregnancy. Data was analysed prospectively. 15-women without pre-existing diabetes mellitus wore con
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar frågan om vad man i Sverige brukar kalla "människovärde". Denna fråga belyses genom en analys av begreppen "livets helgd" och "livskvalitet" som i den anglo-saxiska debatten har kommit att symbolisera två helt olika sätt att tolka det mänskliga livet värde. Tanken om livets helgd brukar anföras av dem som tror att livets värde är inneboende och iThe principles of sanctity of life and quality of life are often appealed to in medical decisions at the "edges of life." Notwithstanding their importance in bioethics, these principles are still badly understood. This study is an attempt to clarify their normative significance and content. Because these principles pertain to the more general question of the value of life, the study begins by exp
The objective of the study was to find ways of improvement of the dissolved air flotation process by studying the flow structure. The paper presents experimental data on flow structures and the relation between the flow structure and the removal efficiency. Measurements have been performed in a pilot plant with an Acoustical Doppler Velocimeter. The water velocity was measured in a grid net, givin
The level crossing method has been used for the investigation of the hyperfine structure of the 6p2P3/2 and 7p2P3/2 levels of the isotopes Cs133, Cs135, and Cs137. For the hyperfine coupling constants a and b and for the lifetimes ? we find: a(6p Cs133)=50.72(3) gJ/-1.345, b(6p Cs133)=-0.38(18) gJ/-1.345 a(7p Cs133)=16.610(6) gJ/-1.3349, b(7p Cs133)=-0.15(3) gJ/-1.3349 a(6p Cs135)=53.64(4) gJ/-1.3
The number-size distribution and hygroscopic growth of submicrometer aerosol particles were measured in central Amazonia during the first Cooperative LBA Airborne Regional Experiment (CLAIRE) wet season experiment in March-April 1998. This was the first time ever that these types of measurements were performed in the Amazon rain forest. A Differential Mobility Particle Sizer (DMPS) was used to mea
Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and a synchronizer of many physiological processes. Alteration of the melatonin pathway has been reported in circadian disorders, diabetes and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, very little is known about the genetic variability of melatonin receptors in humans. Here, we sequenced the melatonin receptor MTNR1A and MTNR1B, genes coding for MT1 and MT2 rece
This thesis examines the links developing between the universities and their regions in the globalising knowledge economy as observed in the UK. It examines institutional responses to two realms of policies, namely, higher education policy and regional development policy. The diversifying missions of universities, especially, the ‘third stream activities’ promoted by the UK government since the la
BACKGROUND: HIV and other sexually transmitted infections are a growing problem in the military personnel of Africa, and information about this problem in Guinea-Bissau is lacking. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and trends of the HIV epidemics in the military forces of Guinea Bissau and to explore possible risk factors for HIV infection. METHODOLOGY: Repeated cross-sectio

Correlations between mean transverse momentum [pT] and anisotropic flow coefficients v2 or v3 are measured as a function of centrality in Pb–Pb and Xe–Xe collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV and 5.44 TeV, respectively, with ALICE. In addition, the recently proposed higher-order correlation between [pT], v2, and v3 is measured for the first time, which shows an anticorrelation for the presented centrality ra
OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to describe the ultrasound features of various endometrial and other intracavitary pathologies in women without abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) using the International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) terminology. The secondary aim was to compare our findings with published data on women with AUB. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study of
Radar data at C-band has shown great potential for the monitoring of soil and canopy hydric conditions of wheat crops. In this study, the C-band Sentinel-1 time series including the backscattering coefficients σ0 at VV and VH polarization, the polarization ratio (PR) and the interferometric coherence ρ are first analyzed with the support of experimental data gathered on three plots of irrigated wi
