The first meeting of international specialists in the field of von Willebrand disease (VWD) was held in the Åland islands in 1998 where Erik von Willebrand had first observed a bleeding disorder in some members of a family from Föglö and a summary of the meeting was published in 1999. The second meeting was held in 2010 and a report of the meeting was published in 2012. Topics covered included pro
Twenty-six patients were operated because of osteo-arthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint. After excision of the trapezium, they were randomized to receive either a Swanson silicone trapezium implant or a tendon interposition arthroplasty using a strip of the abductor pollicis longus tendon (APL). No infection or clinical silicone synovitis occurred and no major radiographic cyst formation was
The fusion-evaporation reaction 32S+28Si at 125-MeV beam energy was used to populate excited states in 55Fe. Combining the Gammasphere spectrometer with ancillary devices including the Microball CsI(Tl) array and a shell of neutron detectors, a comprehensive level scheme could be derived. The experimental results are compared with theoretical results from shell-model calculations. Taking into acco
Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus; GAS) is an important human pathogen responsible for mild to severe, life-threatening infections. GAS expresses a wide range of virulence factors, including the M family proteins. The M proteins allow the bacteria to evade parts of the human immune defenses by triggering the formation of a dense coat of plasma proteins surrounding the bacteria, includi
Group exhibition.'The horizon is always receding' brings together a selection of works that reflect on the scope and the implications that the term contemporary may have. As the philosopher Giorgio Agamben suggests, contemporaneity can be understood as a term that surpasses temporal demarcations and transcends simultaneity and coexistence. In this sense, this exhibition serves as a symptomatic dis
This study explores the use of manganese ore, iron-carbon particles (Fe-C), and gravel as anode fillers in electroactive constructed wetlands (ECWs) to treat wastewater containing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) including ciprofloxacin (CIP), ofloxacin (OFL), and naproxen (NPX), while also assessing bioelectricity production. Although the presence of PPCPs reduced pollutant remo
INTRODUCTION: Synaptic dysfunction and loss are pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. Neuronal pentraxin 2 (NPTX2), a presynaptic protein involved in synaptic plasticity, has been linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. METHODS: We developed and validated a novel single molecule array (Simoa) for NPTX2 in cerebrospinal fluid, w
During the 1990s several kinds of reorganization has taken place in public services in Sweden. Reorganizations according to the idea of market economy have been most salient and debated. In many municipalities private companies have started to organize home care service for elderly, financed by tax. Public home care organizations have reorganized the working organization and managing structure, pa
Background. Studies suggest an increased risk for compromised cognitive function among cancer survivors. It is unclear to what extent chemotherapy is the cause and how the dysfunction, when present, affects everyday life. The objective was to study self-reported behaviours that may depend on cognitive function, among testicular-cancer survivors who received various cycles of cisplatin-based chemot
Genus-specific, sRNA discovery in marine Synechococcus The most ubiquitously distributed, picocyanobacteria, Synechococcus significantly contribute to global, oceanic primary productivity and are pivotal players in biogeochemical cycling. Because of the distribution and significant contribution of picocyanobacterial to global processes, there have been many studies on gene expression and their tr
