Previous studies suggested a link between the use of G-CSF and increased incidence of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after immunosuppressive therapy (IST) for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). This European survey included 840 patients who received a first-line IST with (43%) or without (57%) G-CSF. The incidences of MDS/AML in patients who did or did not receive G-CSF
A global faunal crisis close to the Eifelian-Givetian stage boundary in the mid-Devonian has been purported to be related to the impact of one or two major extraterrestrial bodies. This was based on unusual mineralogical and chemical features within a distinct composite marl bed, at a level c. 40 cm below the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the Eifelian-Givetian boundary at Jebel Me
Background: In 2014, the fragrance hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde (HICC) was excluded from the Swedish baseline series. Objectives: To study (i) whether fragrance mix (FM) II with 5% HICC detects more positive reactions than FM II with 2.5% HICC, and (ii) the reproducibility of patch testing with HICC. Methods: Two thousand one hundred and eighteen dermatitis patients at five Swedish
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of data on endometrial (EC) and ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, abdominal or pelvic cancers (OC) registered in the Swedish Quality Register of Gynecologic Cancer (SQRGC). Method: A random sample of 500 patients was identified in the SQRGC and their medical charts were reviewed for re-abstraction of 31 selected core variables by an independ

This gene, now designated XG, partly resides in pseudoautosomal region 1 and encodes a protein of unknown function from the X chromosome. By comparing calculated Xga allele frequencies in different

Denna rapport utforskar konceptet undvikna utsläpp, även kallat Scope 4-utsläpp, som en del av företags hållbarhetsrapportering- och kommunikation. Med fokus på PowerCell Group, en leverantör av vätgasdrivna bränsleceller, undersöker studien hur Scope 4-utsläpp kan integreras i hållbarhetsrapportering och vilka möjligheter och utmaningar detta innebär. Undvikna utsläpp refererar till de minskningThis thesis explores the concept of Scope 4 emissions, also known as avoided emissions, within corporate sustainability reporting. With a focus on PowerCell Group, a provider of hydrogen fuel cell solutions, this study investigates the integration of avoided emissions reporting, assessing both the potential benefits and the challenges associated with this practice. Avoided emissions refer to redu
The purpose of this paper is two fold. First we clarify and enrich the understanding of the need for higher sales educated professionals through an extensive understanding of the sales transformation. Second, we develop an understanding of the sales role and its related competencies in a transformed sales landscape. We introduce a theoretical framework to understand the need for sales educated pro
