The function of the mature polymorphonuclear neutrophil is dependent on its granules, each with its characteristic content of proteins. The granule proteins are formed at different stages during maturation of neutrophils from myeloblasts to segmented cells. The regulation of granule protein expression is controlled by a number of transcription factors, many of which are also essential for commitme
The decays of the high angular momentum, high spin F-4(0) states of the electron configuration 3s3p3d in aluminium-like ions (with three electrons outside a closed shell) have been identified in delayed spectra of foil excited Ti, Fe and Ni ion beams. The line identifications were aided by HXR, MCHF, and MCDF calculations and are corroborated by lifetime measurements which demonstrate the differen
In 2019, the European commission presented the Green Deal - the EU's new growth strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The new strategy led the Commission to initiate a review of the legislation regarding TEN-E. One of the purposes of TEN-E is to adopt PCI projects. The purpose of the essay is to examine how these selection criteria may change due to the Green Deal by addressing two
Preterm birth is a leading cause for birth complications and neonatal mortality in the world. It remains difficult to predict whether a preterm birth will occur, which hinders the possible use of prevention treatments. This thesis investigates the use of machine learning models in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth. In addition, possible heterogeneous performance of these models among dif
I dagens samhälle är det viktigt för företag att kunna erbjuda den bästa helheten åt kunden för att vara konkurrenskraftiga på marknaden. Att göra kunden delaktig i utvecklingen av nya serviceinnovationer skapar ett ökat kundvärde som stärker konkurrenskraften. Till följd av detta vill vi undersöka hur denna delaktighet kan utföras samt vilka logistiska effekter det för med sig.
BACKGROUND: Pain is a common complaint presented in healthcare, but most epidemiological pain research has focused either on single pain conditions or on the adult population. The aim of this study was to investigate the 2017 consultation prevalence of a wide range of pain conditions in the general population of young people.METHODS: We used the Skåne Healthcare Register, covering prospectively co
Abnormalities of tau protein are central to the pathogenesis of progressive supranuclear palsy, whereas haplotype variation of the tau gene MAPT influences the risk of Parkinson disease and Parkinson's disease dementia. We assessed whether regional MAPT expression might be associated with selective vulnerability of global brain networks to neurodegenerative pathology. Using task-free functional ma
Road tunnel fires are non-recurrent events which have led the researchers to investigate on the best risk analysis methodology. At the moment, the European Directive 2004/54/EC on minimum safety requirements for tunnels in the Trans-European road network gives only general statements. Consequently, practitioners have often difficulties to define the best way to ensure the desired safety conditions
A strong suppression of non-photonic electrons in Au+Au collisions is observed at Rhic. This is in disagreement with the expected dominance of the energy loss via gluon radiation, which predicts a much weaker suppression of heavy flavours due to the dead cone effect. However, collisional energy loss is also important, as demonstrated recently by the Soft Colour Interaction Jet Quenching model. Bas
Clin Microbiol Infect ABSTRACT: Aerococcus urinae is a Gram-positive bacterium that can cause invasive infection, including infectious endocarditis (IE), mainly in older men. A. urinae is often misclassified in routine diagnostic laboratories. Through searches in the laboratory databases we identify 16 isolates of A. urinae causing bacteraemia during a 6-year period in southern Sweden, indicating
Non-invasive tests for the detection of peripheral artery disease (PAD) among individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) are important to estimate the risk of amputation, ulceration, wound healing and presence of cardiovascular disease, yet there are no consensus recommendations to support a particular diagnostic modality over another. To evaluate the performance of index non-invasive diagnostic test
BACKGROUND: The reoperation rate after recurrent groin hernia surgery is more than twice that recorded for primary groin hernia procedures. The aim was to define the outcome from routine redo hernia surgery by analysing a large population-based cohort from a national hernia register. METHODS: All recurrent groin hernia operations registered in the Swedish Hernia Register from 1992 to 2008 were ana
The gradient of five dansylated amino acids in a capillary-based separation system commonly used in capillary liquid chromatography (LC) or capillary electrochromatography (CEC) was followed and examined in detail using a detection method based on laser-induced fluorescence imaging. The detection system consisted of an XeCl excimer laser and an image-intensified charge-coupled device (CCD) camera.
BACKGROUND: Shortening of the atrial refractory period is the key feature of atrial electrical remodeling during atrial fibrillation (AF). During sinus rhythm (SR), assessment of the atrial refractoriness is hampered by the fact that the atrial repolarization wave (Ta wave) is largely obscured by the following QRST complex. The purpose of this study was to study the Ta wave in subjects with paroxy
