Popular Abstract in Swedish I samband med en kärlskada startar en kaskad av reaktioner som leder fram till bildandet av ett blodkoagel. Det är viktigt att bildandet av blodkoagel begränsas till det skadade området. Blodkoagulationen är därför reglerad av antal antikoagulanta system av vilka det viktigaste är protein C systemet. I detta system samverkar aktivt protein C (APC) tillsammans med ett anProtein S functions as a cofactor to activated protein C (APC) in the degradation of factors Va and VIIIa. In plasma protein S circulates in two forms; 30-40 % circulates as free protein S molecules while the remaining 60-70 % exists in a 1:1 complex with C4b-binding protein (C4BP). Only the free form of protein S functions as a cofactor to APC. Protein S is a mosaic protein composed of four discr
Wetland creation at large, regional scales is implemented as a measure to abate the biodiversity loss in agricultural landscapes and the eutrophication of watersheds and coastal areas by non-point source nutrient pollution (mainly nitrogen). The consequences of creating many new wetlands for biodiversity conservation and nutrient retention (ecosystem functioning) in agricultural landscapes are sti
Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerer är samlingsnamnet på långa molekylkedjor. Runt omkring oss i vårt dagliga liv är vi omgärdade av polymerer så som plaster, lim, fibrer och proteiner. Utvecklingen av många högteknologiska produkter är starkt beroende av polymera material. Grundläggande kunskaper om dem och deras egenskaper är därför viktigt. I ett batteri kan många fördelar erhållas då den koThere is a growing need for multifunctional polymeric materials for the development of several important energy conversion technologies. For example, the polymer electrolyte is a key component in lithium polymer batteries. The basic functions of this electrolyte are to efficiently conduct the lithium ions and physically separate the electrodes. Consequently, these electrolytes should ideally posse
Popular Abstract in Swedish Yttre faktorerna i omgivningen som UV-strålning från solen, rökning, läkemedel, maten och påfrestande livssituationer kan leda till att kroppens celler börjar överproducera molekyler som kallas syrefria radikaler. Dessa molekyler reagerar kemist mycket lätt med omgivande ämnen. När syrefria radikaler bildas i kroppen i normala mängder ingår de som en del av immunförsvarOxidative stress can cause damage to DNA, proteins and lipids and is associated with inflammation and various human diseases as cancer, atherosclerosis, and autoimmune diseases. Polyphenol-rich diet, such as fruits and berries, may act as antioxidants and prevent oxidative stress and, thereby, associated diseases. Administration of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can affect the microflora in the gastro
Background: The annual mortality for patients on dialysis is high even if it has decreased from 30 % in 1991 to 18 % in 2016. It is mainly caused by an increased cardiovascular and infectious morbidity. Previous studies have reported improved survival for patients with home hemodialysis (HHD). However, patients starting HHD are younger and healthier compared to patients starting other dialysis mod
The human-environment connection in the mostly rural drylands of sub-Saharan Africa forms a complex, interlinked system that provides ecosystem services. This system is susceptible to climatic variability that impacts the supply of its products, and high population growth, which impacts the demand for these products. When plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of phot
Today, between 8% and 16% of all individuals worldwide suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is becoming a growing public health issue. Creatinine and cystatin C are commonly used markers for kidney function, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria are used to stage CKD. However, creatinine and eGFR are rather insensitive in identifying individuals at high risk of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Enbart i Sverige drabbas tusentals personer årligen, kvinnor som män, av plötsligt cirkulationsbortfall (akut ischemi) i ett ben till följd av blodpropp i en artär. Tillståndet är akut och innebär ett direkt hot mot såväl liv som lem. Personer som drabbas är ofta äldre, och de har ofta många andra sjukdomar med sig i bagaget. För att rädda benet, och patienten, krävs aBackground: Acute ischemia of the lower limb is a vascular emergency associated with amputation and death. Patients suffering from acute limb ischemia are usually elderly, and multiple comorbidities are often present. Intra-arterial thrombolysis is, perhaps, the most important minimal-invasive treatment option available today. Although uncontrolled hemorrhage is a dreaded complication, it is consi
The use of Penman-Monteith (PM) equation in thermal remote sensing based surface energy balance modeling is not prevalent due to the unavailability of any direct method to integrate thermal data into the PM equation and due to the lack of physical models expressing the surface (or stomatal) and boundary layer conductances (g(S) and g(B)) as a function of surface temperature. Here we demonstrate a
In this study, we compare annual fluxes of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and soil respiratory carbon dioxide (CO2) measured at nine European peatlands (n = 4) and shrublands (n = 5). The sites range from northern Sweden to Spain, covering a span in mean annual air temperature from 0 to 16 degrees C, and in annual precipitation from 300 to 1300 mm yr(-1). The effects of climate change, includi
At present China suffers from severe desertification or land degradation. About 27% of the total territory was exposed in 2004, mainly the northern provinces. Consequences of desertification, such as floods or sandstorms, require huge effort and financial assets. Soil moisture understanding plays a key role in combating desertification and is necessary in order to implement a sustainable water man
Background: Blood lipid levels including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C), and triglycerides ( TG) are highly heritable. Genome-wide association is a promising approach to map genetic loci related to these heritable phenotypes. Methods: In 1087 Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort participants ( mean age 47 years, 52% women), we conduct
Context While vascular endothelial growth factor-targeted therapy and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibition are effective strategies in treating clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most effective therapeutic approach for patients with non-clear cell RCC (non-ccRCC) is unknown. Objective To systematically review relevant literature comparing the oncological outcomes and adverse events o
Ongoing consumption of fossil-based fuels generates a massive amount of greenhouse gases. This may lead to global warming that is currently threatening human society and wild animal habitats. Hydrogen is an energy carrier with the highest energy content per weight compared to other all fuels and no carbon dioxide is released when combusted.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjock- och ändtarm drabbar årligen drygt 5000 svenskar. En rad faktorer har satts i samband med tumöruppkomst i tarmen, bl a ärftlighet, inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom, kost och motion, men det är till stor del okänt hur dessa faktorer orsakar cancerutveckling. Genetiska förändringar styr tumörutvecklingen Tumörerna utvecklas oftast från ett godartat förstadium, Colorectal cancer is one of our most common malignancies and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About 1/3 of the tumors are located in the rectum. Treatment advances such as the introduction of the standardized surgical technique total mesorectal excision (TME), pre-operative radiotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy have reduced the previously high local recurrence rates and improv
Multigene expression signatures provide a molecular subdivision of early breast cancer associated with patient outcome. A gap remains in the validation of such signatures in clinical treatment groups of patients within population-based cohorts of unselected primary breast cancer representing contemporary disease stages and current treatments. A cohort of 3520 resectable breast cancers with RNA seq

Background: Anorectal malformations (ARM) occur in 1/5000 live births (1.2–1.6:1 male:female). Associated malformations are common, influencing, together with ARM-subtype complexity, long-term outcome, follow-up and need of transitional care. Reconstructive surgery, the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP), is performed in infancy, either as a single-stage or multi-stage procedure with a colo
Rodent models are important research tools for studying the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and developing new therapeutic interventions for this devastating neurological disorder. However, the failure rate for the translation of drugs from animal testing to human treatments for TBI is 100%. While there are several potential explanations for this, previous clinical trials have reli
