Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a common and versatile human pathogen causing a variety of diseases. One of the many virulence factors of GAS is the secreted pore-forming cytotoxin streptolysin O (SLO), which has been ascribed multiple properties, including inflammasome activation leading to release of the potent inflammatory cytokine IL-1β from infected macrophages. IL-1β is synthesized as an inac
Clustering of testicular cancer cases in families is well known, although the aetiology is not. We present the results of a segregation analysis performed with the algorithm Pointer on familial data on 978 Scandinavian patients with testicular cancer. The segregation analysis favoured the involvement of major gene effects over models incorporating solely polygenic effects in testicular cancer aeti
Information about occurrence of testicular cancer (TC) in relatives of TC patients has been collected using questionnaires from 797 out of 922 consecutive Norwegian and 178 out of 237 Swedish patients with TC seen at the Norwegian Radium Hospital and the University Hospital Lund in Sweden during 1981-91. Fifty-one Norwegian and five Swedish patients had a relative with confirmed TC. Thus, 51/922 (
The relation between use of sunscreens, different host factors and malignant melanoma was investigated in a population-based, matched case-control study of malignant melanoma in the South Swedish Health Care Region, which has the highest risk for melanoma in Sweden, between 1 July 1988 and 30 June 1990. In total, 400 melanoma patients and 640 healthy controls aged 15-75 years answered a comprehens
BACKGROUND: Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the Western population, and a considerable proportion of colorectal carcinomas are estimated to have a familial background.METHODS: Individuals whose mothers were diagnosed with colon carcinoma or rectal carcinoma from 1958 to 1993, a total of 1. 48 million person-years, constituted the cohort of this Swedish population-bas
Stakeholder Interaction in Research Processes A Guide for Researchers and Research Groups In many research projects, stakeholder interaction is ad hoc rather than strategic and systematic. This guide provides advice on good practice, strategies and tools for rese- archers and research groups interested in finding effective ways to involve stakehol- ders in their research and have an impact on soci

ObjectiveConventional two-dimensional ultrasound has been assessed for the non-invasive diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA), but the results are operator dependent, resulting in low sensitivity. Tomographic three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound is a novel technique that enables the objective documentation of vessel geometry. Here, for the first time, its utility is assessed for visualizing tempora
BackgroundResearch is limited on registered healthcare professionals (RHCP) usage of research and evidence-based practice (EBP) in Swedish municipal primary healthcare work.Aim/ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to increase the understanding of experiences, attitudes, and conditions of usage of research and implementation of EBP among RHCPs in a Swedish municipality setting. Further, the study ai
Purpose: The aim was to explore nurse assistants´ experiences of paying attention to and encountering patients receiving municipal health and social care, who are in grief due to the death of a loved one. Methods: A qualitative study with focus group interviews (n = 6) was conducted with nurse assistants (NAs) (n = 28) in municipal health and social care (n = 5) in southern Sweden. The data were a
This paper should be read as addendum to Dieckmann et al. (J Theor Biol 241:370-389, 2006) and Parvinen et al. (J Math Biol 67: 509-533, 2013). Our goal is, using little more than high-school calculus, to (1) exhibit the form of the canonical equation of adaptive dynamics for classical life history problems, where the examples in Dieckmann et al.

Summer greetings from the Director Time flies. It seems like yesterday when nature was painted in shades of brown and grey and we were gradually recovering from the pandemic. Now nature shows its best face – lush and an amazing display of color. At the same time, it feels that we have taken a step back since most of us are affected by yet another new lock-down, but for a very different reason. The
