Chemotherapeutics are vital for treating brain tumors such as glioblastoma, an aggressive and prolific cancer predominantly treated with DNA alkylating agents. The efficacy of antiglioblastoma drugs, such as temozolomide, is limited by their rapid clearance and instability under normal physiological conditions. Both local and systemic polymer-based therapeutics have shown promise for treating many

Primary brain tumors are predominantly malignant gliomas. Grade IV astrocytomas (glioblastomas, GBM) are among the most deadly of all tumors; most patients will succumb to their disease within 2 years of diagnosis despite standard of care. The grim outlook for brain tumor patients indicates that novel precision therapeutic targets must be identified. Our hypothesis is that the cancer proteomes of

This article deals with the developments that followed the referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan conducted in 25/9/2017 and the major consequences of that referendum for Kurdish politics in Iraq and for the future of the Kurds in that country.

Background: When the Swedish version of Open Notes, an electronic health record (EHR) service that allows patients online access, was introduced in hospitals, primary care, and specialized care in 2012, psychiatric care was exempt. This was because psychiatric notes were considered too sensitive for patient access. However, as the first region in Sweden, Region Skåne added adult psychiatry to its

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most malignant of primary brain tumors, is a devastating and deadly disease, with a median survival of 14 months from diagnosis, despite standard regimens of radical brain tumor surgery, maximal safe radiation, and concomitant chemotherapy. GBM tumors nearly always re-emerge after initial treatment and frequently display resistance to current treatments. One theory that may

The article deals with the tensions and conflicts between the local regional Kurdish government of Iraqi Kurdistan and the ways the difficulties and tensions coped with.

We study the temporal evolution of a small number N of ultra-cold bosonic atoms confined in a ring potential. Assuming that initially the system is in a solitary-wave solution of the corresponding mean-field problem, we identify significant differences in the time evolution of the density distribution of the atoms when it instead is evaluated with the many-body Schrödinger equation. Three characte

Denna bok beskriver och förklarar koncernredovisningens logik och teknik. Syftet är att både skapa principiell förståelse för koncernen som redovisningsenhet och god kunskap i koncernredovisningens teknik.

Ultrafast processes in matter can be captured and even controlled by using sequences of few-cycle optical pulses, which need to be well characterized, both in amplitude and phase. The same degree of control has not yet been achieved for few-cycle extreme ultraviolet pulses generated by high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases, with duration in the attosecond range. Here, we show that by varyi

(Neuro)psychiatric diagnoses such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a rapidly growing and globally increasing phenomenon, not least in different educational contexts such as in family and in school. Children and youths labelled as ADHD are challenging normative claims in terms of nurturing and education, whereas those labelled as ADHD are considered a (future) risk for society (Neuro)psychiatric diagnoses such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a rapidly growing and globally increasing phenomenon, not least in different educational contexts such as in family and in school.

We have studied the fragmentation of the methanol molecule after core excitation and core ionization by observing coincidences between negative and positive ions. Five different negative ions (H-, C-, CH-, O-, and OH-) were observed at both the C 1s and O 1s edges. As negative ion formation occurs after resonant and normal Auger decay of core-hole states, it is necessarily linked with the release

It has recently been discovered that some, if not all, classical novae emit GeV gamma-rays during outburst, but the mechanisms involved in the production ofgamma-rays are still not well understood. We present here a comprehensive multiwavelength data set - from radio to X-rays - for the most gamma-ray-luminous classical nova to date, V1324 Sco. Using this data set, we show that V1324 Sco is a cano

The development of therapeutic methods based on stem cells (e.g. cell therapy, activating regeneration and organ transplantation), known as regenerative medicine, is still a novel area in the field of life sciences. If successful, such therapies could be applicable to many diseases currently lacking effective treatments, such as Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, heart disease or cancer.Stem cells are

X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) and table-top sources of x-rays based upon high harmonic generation (HHG) have revolutionized the field of ultrafast x-ray atomic and molecular physics, largely due to an explosive growth in capabilities in the past decade. XFELs now provide unprecedented intensity (1020 W cm-2) of x-rays at wavelengths down to ∼1 Ångstrom, and HHG provides unprecedented time res
