TRPV1 har viktig roll i hjärnan

The discovery of TRPV1 as a receptor for capsaicin, the pungent ingredient in chili pepper, and noxious heat has triggered immense research on the role of TRP channels as polymodal receptors in sensory neuronal signaling. The rich abundance of TRPV1 in nociceptive primary afferents and its involvement in inflammatory and neuropathic pain encouraged the development of analgesics acting on TRPV1. Ho

3D gas-liquid interfaces and flow characteristics of two-phase flows in horizontal tubes

In order to investigate the characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flows in horizontal mini circular tubes with inner diameters of 3.14 and 6.68 mm, a prism is adopted to improve the light path in the visualization experimental setup. The front and top views of air-water two-phase flow patterns in two tubes are captured synchronously based on the improved method. Three-dimensional gas-liquid inte

Central venous catheterisation - clinical studies on mechanical complications in the ultrasound-guided era

Central venous catheterisation is one of the most common invasive procedures performed on patients in secondary care. Unfortunately the catheterisation procedure is associated with mechanical complications that both can be life-threatening and may force postponement of life-saving treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy. The use of real-time ultrasound guidance increases success rates and redu

Between the scientific and the alternative: women’s claims about copper toxicity caused by IUD use

The copper IUD is a widely used contraceptive, recommended to many women who want a long-acting contraceptive method and sometimes seen as an alternative for those who want to avoid side effects associated with hormonal alternatives. However, while many report being satisfied with their copper IUD, a growing number of women speak about a range of mental and physical symptoms believed to be caused

Bubble dynamics and mechanistic boiling heat transfer prediction on a scored copper surface

In this study, pool boiling heat transfer of de-ionized water was experimentally studied on a scored copper surface at a heat-flux range of 0 - 60 W/cm2. Bubble dynamics in an isolated bubble region were carefully investigated, including bubble departure diameters, bubble departure frequencies, and active nucleation site densities. The bubble dynamics were compared with available models, indicatin

Bivalirudin Versus Heparin Monotherapy in ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

BACKGROUND: Bivalirudin was not superior to unfractionated heparin in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and no planned use of GPI (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors) in contemporary clinical practice of radial access and potent P2Y12-inhibitors in the VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART randomized clinical trial (Bivalirudin Versus Heparin in STEMI and NSTEMI

Informal learning mechanisms: Continual competence development for becoming successful in professional work

In today’s society, learning is a lifelong pursuit for all professionals who want to become and stay successful in their profession. However, in contrast to formal academic training, workplace learning is often informal and relatively unnoticed by competence developers in both academia and industry. This paper therefore sets out to identify and describe how such learning takes place in practice. M

Interferon-g-Inducible Protein 10 (IP-10) Kinetics after Antiretroviral Treatment Initiation in Ethiopian Adults with HIV

Interferon-g-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) has been suggested as a marker for targeted viral load (VL) monitoring during antiretroviral treatment (ART). We aimed to determine the kinetics of IP-10 during the initial year of ART, with particular regard to the impact of tuberculosis (TB) co-infection on IP-10 secretion. Longitudinal plasma IP-10 levels were quantified in 112 treatment-naive HIV-posit

St Gallen 2019 guidelines understage the axilla in lobular breast cancer : a population-based study

BACKGROUND: The St Gallen 2019 guidelines for primary therapy of early breast cancer recommend omission of completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND), regardless of histological type, in patients with one or two sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases. Concurrently, adjuvant chemotherapy is endorsed for luminal A-like disease with four or more axillary lymph node (ALN) metastases. The aim of t

Abstract in GermanDas Thema dieses Beitrags ist die Übersetzung deutscher Partizipialkonstruktionen ins Schwedische – ein Thema, dem die bisherige Forschung kaum Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt hat. Die Studie ist sowohl quantitativer als auch qualitativer Natur. Als Korpus dienen deutsche Sachprosatexte und ihre schwedischen Übersetzungen, von denen anzunehmen ist, dass sie im Einklang mit den entsprech

Fler eller färre vildsvin? - en samhällsekonomisk analys

Vildsvin är ett omdiskuterat djurslag i Sverige. Många ser dem som ett uppskattat inslag i naturen, dels som jaktbyte och dels för att de bidrar till naturupplevelser, skogstillväxt och biologisk mångfald. Samtidigt orsakar de skador på jord- och skogsbruk, villatomter och grönområden samt trafikolyckor. Dessa kostnader drabbar ofta andra än dem som anser sig dra nytta av vildsvinens existens. Und

Är ekologisk odling bättre för miljön

Sverige har ambitiösa mål för att öka den ekologiskt odlade jordbruksmarken. Samtidigt är det inte självklart att ekologisk odling är bättre för miljön. Här sammanställer vi kunskap om skillnader mellan ekologisk och konventionell odling i Sverige. De miljöfaktorer vi tittar på är biologisk mångfald, näringsläckage och utsläpp av växthusgaser. Sammanställningen tyder på att när miljöpåverkan mäts

We can work it out : an enactive look at cooperation

The past years have seen an increasing debate on cooperation and its unique human character. Philosophers and psychologists have proposed that cooperative activities are characterized by shared goals to which participants are committed through the ability to understand each other’s intentions. Despite its popularity, some serious issues arise with this approach to cooperation. First, one may chall

Changing the game : exploring infants' participation in early play routines

Play has proved to have a central role in children's development, most notably in rule learning (Piaget, 1965; Sutton-Smith, 1979) and negotiation of roles and goals (Garvey, 1974; Bruner et al., 1976). Yet very little research has been done on early play. The present study focuses on early social games, i.e., vocal-kinetic play routines that mothers use to interact with infants from very early on

Not Just Being Lifted : Infants are Sensitive to Delay During a Pick-Up Routine

In the present study we observed whether infants show online adjustments to the mother’s incipient action by looking at their sensitivity to changes as the pick-up unfolded. Twenty-three 3-month-old infants and their mothers were observed in the lab, where mothers were instructed (1) to pick-up their infants as they usually did (normal pick-up), and then (2) to delay the pick-up for 6 s after plac

Rethinking Intrusiveness : Exploring the Sequential Organization in Interactions Between Infants and Mothers

To date, studies investigating maternal postpartum depression (PPD) have mainly focused on identifying failures in interactions of postpartum depressed mothers and their infants, often attributed to single dysfunctional maternal behaviors. Intrusiveness has been identified as a dysfunctional behavior characterizing mothers suffering from PPD. However, this research does not consider the co-constru

Memory enhancements from active control of learning in children with autism spectrum disorder.

Previous research with typically developing children and adults shows that active control of the learning experience leads to enhanced episodic memory, as compared with conditions lacking this control. The present study investigates whether similar advantages can be found in children with autism spectrum disorder. In this study, 6–12-year-old autistic children (N = 29) participated in a simple mem

A room of one’s own : Moments of mutual disengagement between doctor and patient in the oncology visit

ObjectiveThis paper examines a previously neglected phenomenon in doctor-patient interaction studies, i.e. the achievement of mutual disengagement—a specific state of coordination, in which participants suspend reciprocal gaze and turn into separate axes of involvement. In the specialized setting of the oncology visit, which we consider in this study, mutual disengagement is linked to important ta
