Currently, static cold storage (SCS) of hearts from donations after brainstem death remains the standard clinically. However, machine perfusion (MP) is considered an approach for donor organ management to extend the donor pool and/or increase the utilization rate. This review summarizes and critically assesses the available clinical data on MP in heart transplantation. We searched Medline (PubMed)

In international law, new norms can emerge through the identification and development of effective practices. This article examines Swedish, Finnish and, less closely, other Nordic countries’ contributions to the slow process of norm emergence in relation to cross-border displacement in the context of disasters and climate change. It focuses on Sweden and Finland’s early adoption, and subsequent j

We provide an abstract approach to approximation with a wide range of regularity classes X in spaces of pseudocontinuable functions Kp Θ, where Θ is an inner function and p > 0. More precisely, we demonstrate a general principle, attributed to A. Aleksandrov, which asserts that if a certain linear manifold X is dense in Kq Θ for some q > 0, then X is in fact dense in Kp Θ for all p > 0. Moreover,

Introduction Covid-19 can cause chronic hypoxic respiratory failure, but the impact on the need for long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is unknown. The aim was to investigate change in incidence and characteristics of patients starting LTOT in Sweden 2020 after the outbreak of the pandemic. Material and methods Population-based observational study using data from the National Registry for Respiratory

Deficiencies in software or computer chips cause computers or smartphones to crash and allow hackers to steal passwords. Automated test procedures could avoid these problems. However, the computing power and cooling requirements of conventional computers increase exponentially with the size of the problem, so that the technological limits for solving these problems will soon be reached. The EU pro

Purpose: To evaluate if preoperative assessment with A Quick Test of Cognitive Speed (AQT) could increase the accuracy of predicting delirium after cardiac surgery compared to Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and examine if a composite of variables, including cognitive function and depressive symptoms, could be useful to predict delirium. Patients and Methods: Cardiac surgery was performed in

Using methods from complex analysis we obtain some qualitative results for the kinetic energy of two-dimensional irrotational water flows (monotonicity of horizontal averages with depth, location of the extrema).

In this work, supercritical n-decane flowing in ducts with different orientations is thoroughly investigated in terms of secondary flow, wall shear stress, and thermal acceleration. It is known that the secondary flow strength hardly plays a role in cases of flowing upward, flowing downward, or flowing horizontally at a small heat flux/mass flux. Still, an attachment point can be found at the cent

The study was an extension of our earlier work on antiinflammatory and anticancer properties of G. asiatica fruit. We aimed to develop a bioassay guided multistep purification technique for producing bioactive fractions of G. asiatica crude extracts. Dried fruit powder was sequentially fractionated with 100% dichloromethane, 100% methanol (MeOH), and 50% MeOH. Active extracts were subjected to liq

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) often constitute a meal’s main carbohydrate source. When consumed outside the home, dishes are often prepared in large-scale food service systems, like school canteens and hospitals. To manage the logistics of serving the required quantities of potatoes, raw tubers must be prepared by washing, industrial peeling, preservative actions, and packaging to stand transpor

New public management (NPM) tar stor plats i dagens sociologiska studier av arbetsliv och samhällsutveckling, men försök att ge begreppet teoretisk stadga är sällsynta. I denna artikel inplaceras NPM i en längre samhällsutveckling som går tillbaka till det moderna samhällets rationalisering och ”avförtrollning”. Dess inverkan på arbetsliv och samhälle diskuteras med hjälp av klassisk sociologisk t

As a theoretical framework in organization studies, institutional logics is immensely popular. It has been used in a large amount of highly contributory and enlightening empirical studies, and developed far beyond its original formulation in a classical paper by Friedland and Alford (1991). In our paper, we identify three key theoretical problems that have emerged in the development and use of ins

Brief remembrance of the circumstances and context of writing the PhD thesis and making acquaintance with Valeriu Aanania.
