BACKGROUND: To determine the association between cancer diagnosis and subsequent risk of ASCVD, and to examine the trajectory of the association over time after cancer diagnosis.METHODS: We prospectively followed 108,689 women in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) (1984-2020), 113,569 women in the NHSII (1991-2019), and 45,328 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) (1986-2016) who were
Endotoxemia-induced inflammation has been associated with insulin resistance and atherosclerosis, ultimately increasing the risk of coronary heart disease. Increased intestinal permeability is an important event leading to endotoxemia. This study aims to elucidate the possible association between endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) and zonulin (a biomarker of intestinal permeability) levels and the ris
The evolution of surfaces exposed to an aggressive environment and mechanical load is studied. This is a process of stress corrosion that leads to pitting, crack initiation and growing cracks. In conventional fracture analyses a known or a postulated crack is required. A serious complication is that a large part of the lifetime of a crack or a surface flaw is spent during the initiation of the cra

This study investigated the influence of various native and modified starches on the quality and staling behaviour of gluten-free bread. Four starch types: native wheat starch, cross-linked tapioca starch, fractionated native potato starch (FPS), and acetylated potato starch (Amylacetate) were evaluated by incorporating them into a standardized gluten-free bread formulation as the main starch sour
OBJECTIVES: Working on large scale construction sites have been shown to have severe health consequences in terms of increased risk of hospitalization and disability retirement compared to construction work in general. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether large scale construction work involving 12-h workdays and extended workweeks leads to insufficient recovery measured as incre
An increased risk of malignant melanoma has been observed in men with prostate cancer. To assess potential shared risk factors and confounding factors, we analysed risk of melanoma in men with prostate cancer including information on tumor characteristics and demographics including socioeconomic status. In The Prostate Cancer data Base Sweden, risk of melanoma was assessed in a cohort of men with
The aim of this thesis was to investigate aspects on detectability of simulated lesions (microcalcifications and masses) in digital mammography (DM) and breast tomosynthesis (BT). Perception in BT image volumes were also investigated by evaluating certain reading conditions. The first study concerned the effect of system noise on the detection of masses and microcalcification clusters in DM image
In type 1 diabetes, there is a rapid loss of glycemic control immediately after onset of the disease. We aimed to determine if the deterioration of glycemic control that occurs early after the onset of insulin-deficient diabetes could be blunted by treatment with recombinant fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). Normal C57BL/6J mice made diabetic by a single high dose injection of streptozotocin (S

INTRODUCTION: Previous gene expression analysis have identified fetal hemoglobin (HbF) as a plausible etiological factor in preeclampsia. Free hemoglobin and its degradation products, e.g. heme, are known to cause oxidative stress, tissue damage, and vaso-constriction, typical findings in preeclampsia.OBJECTIVE: To study alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M), an endogenous radical scavenger and heme-binder,
BACKGROUND: Patient perspectives have received increasing importance within health systems over the past four decades. Measures of patient experience and satisfaction are commonly used. However, these measures do not capture all the information that is available through engaging with patients. An improved understanding of the various types of patient perspectives and the distinctions between them
The study investigates the changing growth pattern of 69 European regions measured at NUTS-level 2 between 1980 and 2002 by addressing the hypothesis of capital accumulation versus technological change as sources of convergence or divergence. The paper adds to the existing regional growth and convergence literature in three respects. First, regional estimates of capital stocks are constructed from
PURPOSE: We studied plasma concentrations and elimination rates of prostate specific antigen (PSA) complexed to alpha1-antichymotrypsin and alpha2-macroglobulin, free PSA, total PSA (free PSA plus PSA alpha1-antichymotrypsin) and human glandular kallikrein 2 before, during and after radical retropubic prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Plasma was collect
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nematofaga svampar förekommer inom många grupper i svampriket och har den gemensamma förmågan att döda nematoder (millimeterstora rundmaskar) och använda dem som näring. Vissa arter är obligata parasiter, medan andra är fakultativa saprofyter, vilket innebär att de förutom att parasitera nematoder lever av dött organiskt material. Dessa svampar har, sedan de upptäcktes Nematophagous fungi possess various mechanisms for infecting nematodes, and are either obligate parasites or facultative saprophytes. Nematophagous fungi have a potential as biological control agents against plant- and animal-parasitic nematodes. Generally there has been little success in using these fungi in such a way, and one reason might be that too little is known about the ecology of the nem
