BACKGROUND: Radiography alone will not detect all scaphoid fractures. There is a reported prevalence between 9 and 33% of occult scaphoid fractures. The evidence-based literature suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most suitable secondary imaging modality due to the ability to evaluate the bone marrow directly and to also identify other injuries. However, there is no consensus on
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling studerar kronisk venös sjukdom i nedre extremiteten, något som drabbar mellan 30 – 50% av den vuxna populationen i västvärlden. En viktig faktor i utredningen av kronisk venös sjukdom är s.k. reflux, vilket innebär att venklaffar inte förmår hindra blodet att rinna i ”fel” riktning. Därmed minskar möjligheten till ventryckssänkning i samband med arbete,Controversies exist regarding both what is required for a proper diagnosis of chronic venous disease (CVD), and what treatment to offer patients. An objective evaluation is mandatory to individualize treatment. This thesis deals with the evaluation of patients with CVD with specific emphasis on CEAP classification (C; clinical, E; etiological, A; anatomical, P; pathophysiological), symptoms and si
Spatially-coupled regular LDPC code ensembles have outstanding performance with belief propagation decoding and can perform arbitrarily close to the Shannon limit without requiring irregular graph structures. In this paper, we are concerned with the performance and complexity of spatially-coupled ensembles with a rate-compatibility constraint. Spatially-coupled regular ensembles that support rate-
Ethnologists, philosophers and anthropologists demonstrate ways of relating phenomenology to the analysis of culture.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Wilms tumör gen 1 (WT1) i normal blodbildning och vid akut leukemi Blodet innehåller en mängd olika celltyper som var och en har sin specifika funktion. De röda blodkropparna transporterar syre till kroppens alla vävnader, de vita blodkropparna skyddar mot olika typer av infektioner och blodplättarna är viktiga för blodkoagulering och sårläkning. Eftersom de mogna blodWilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1) is a zinc-finger transcription factor that is involved in the development of urogenital organs and mesothelial tissues. It was initially identified as a tumor suppressor gene, based on the observation that somatic inactivation of the gene predispose for development of the pediatric kidney cancer Wilms’ tumor. A role for WT1 in hematopoiesis was suggested based on the fact
A new 5-station beamline for protein crystallography is being commissioned at the Swedish synchrotron light source MAX-II at Lund University. Of the 2K/gamma = 14 mrad horizontal wiggler fan, the central 2 mrad are used and split in three parts. The central 1 mrad will be used for a station optimized for MAD experiments and on each side of the central fan, from 0.5 mrad to 1 mrad, there are two fi
