OBJECTIVE: To compare the reliability of quantitative measurement of minimum hip joint space with a qualitative global assessment of radiological features for estimating the prevalence of primary osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip in colon radiographs.METHODS: All colon radiographs from patients aged 35 or older, taken at three different radiographic departments in Iceland during the years 1990-96, we

Calreticulin (CRT) is a eukaryotic, highly conserved, Ca2+-binding protein predominantly located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. In addition to being involved in the regulation of cellular Ca2+, calreticulin is a key quality control element during protein folding in the ER lumen. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) suspension cells overexpressing a maize CRT (CRT1a) were used here to examine t

Popular Abstract in Swedish ”Vi kommo överens om att möten innehålla alla livets möjligheter, och att en människa som levat mycket vet mycket om möten om hon alls vet någonting.” Så uttalar den kvinnliga huvudpersonen i Mannen vid min sida (1933) sin övertygelse efter mötet med älskaren. Denna avhandling fokuserar mötet i Elin Wägners trettiotalsromaner. Genom att analysera detta vill avhandlingsfThe aim of this present thesis is to present the Utopian scheme in Elin Wägner’s novels of the nineteen-thirties: Dialogen fortsätter (1932) (“The Dialogue Continues”), Mannen vid min sida (1933) (“The Man by my Side”), Genomskådad (1937) (“Unmasked”) and Hemlighetsfull (1938) (“Mysterious”). With her authorship Wägner was aiming for a new social order, a radical change, polväxling (a shift of pol

In the past two decades, the eddy covariance technique has been used for an increasing number of methane flux studies at an ecosystem scale. Previously, most of these studies used a closed path setup with a tunable diode laser spectrometer (TDL). Although this method worked well, the TDL has to be calibrated regularly and cooled with liquid nitrogen or a cryogenic system, which limits its use in r

Background: The aim of this study is to estimate ovarian volume, number and volume of antral follicles, and ovarian power Doppler vascular indices as assessed by three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal grayscale and power Doppler ultrasound in women using combined oral contraceptives (COC). Study Design: Two hundred thirteen gynecologically asymptomatic women 20-39 years old using COC were examined wi

Studies seeking to validate real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) with regard to cardiac function and dimensions have almost exclusively used apical views. However, it has never been examined whether apical views are preferable to parasternal or subcostal views. In the present study, we compared the feasibility of 3DE volumetric measurements of the four heart chambers in three differe

Importance: Prenatal exposure to phthalates has been associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes, but little is known about the association with language development. Objective: To examine the association of prenatal phthalate exposure with language development in children in 2 population-based pregnancy cohort studies. Design, Setting, and Participants: Data for this study were obtained from the

Studies showing that large-scale public health interventions in early life have lasting consequences are still scarce and rarely disclose the mechanisms. In 1931–1946, the Swedish state reformed the childbirth institutional system that led to the openings of the new maternity wards and to the gradual decline in home deliveries assisted by midwives. Maternity wards offered improved conditions for a

INTRODUCTION: Despite much literature on reference values of acid-base status in umbilical cord blood at birth, there are as yet no studies performed to determine gestational age-dependent references in cord venous blood and no studies on preterm acid-base standards. Similarly, the normal reference range of Apgar scores for term and preterm infants has not yet been determined.MATERIAL AND METHODS:

Background: Isocapnic hyperventilation (IHV) is a method that shortens time to extubation after inhalation anaesthesia using hyperventilation (HV) without lowering airway CO 2 . In a clinical trial on patients undergoing long-duration sevoflurane anaesthesia for major ear–nose–throat (ENT) surgery, we evaluated the utility of a technique for CO 2 delivery (DCO 2 ) to the inspiratory limb of a clo

Background: The risk of dementia is increased in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Objective: To study relevant co-morbidities and incident dementia (vascular dementia, Alzheimers disease, other dementia and all dementia) in AF patients. Methods: All adults (n = 537,513) ≥45 years diagnosed with AF in hospitals in Sweden 1998–2012 were included. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard rat

Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET), based on band-to-band tunneling, overcomes the thermal limit (subthreshold slope (S) > 60 mV/decade) of the MOSFETs by filtering the high-energy Fermi tail, thereby allowing a substantial reduction of supply voltage and power consumption. Despite the steep slope behavior, TFETs can suffer from ambipolarity wherein carriers tunnel into the channel at both high

Objective: Congenitally corrected and surgical atrial redirected transposition of the great arteries (TGA) represents states where the morphological right ventricle serves as a systemic ventricle (S-RV). The S-RV is prone to failure, but data on medical treatment on this problem is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival in adults with S-RV, with or without heart failure tr

Background: Clinical studies have evaluated a correlation between preoperative walking capacity or function and outcome after hip and knee joint replacement surgery with contradictory results. Our aim was to investigate the effect of preoperative metabolic and/or aerobic exercise on surgical outcome, as well as to evaluate the effect of cumulated exercise by using a cutoff value at 3.5 hours throu

New Zealand's largest city, Auckland, is situated within the basaltic Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF). Therefore, understanding the eruption history of the local volcanoes in the field is of great importance in order to assess future hazards that they may pose. Rangitoto is the youngest and largest volcano in the AVF, although the timing of the first eruption and the duration of the volcanic activit

Multilevel data occurs frequently in many research areas like health services research and epidemiology. A suitable way to analyze such data is through the use of multilevel regression models (MLRM). MLRM incorporate cluster-specific random effects which allow one to partition the total individual variance into between-cluster variation and between-individual variation. Statistically, MLRM account

Disinformation campaigns are not only designed to attack nations, but to build a long-lasting narrative among its people. This study argues that despite the malicious intentions behind disinformation campaigns to disrupt nations and smear their image, the targeted audience becomes the most vulnerable and often ignored group whose voice and narratives can be amplified if not listened to. It derives

Urban trees are uniquely valuable in towns and cities for the ecosystem services they provide their citizens and can as such be considered a potent source of public goods and positive externalities - even when these trees are found on private properties. The importance of urban trees will only grow as events of severe heat and extreme rainfall become more and more frequent and the urgency to reduc
