Patient transfers and assistive devices: prospective cohort study on the risk for occupational back injury among healthcare workers
Intra-operative Cone Beam Computed Tomography can Help Avoid Reinterventions and Reduce CT Follow up after Infrarenal EVAR.
Re-interventions after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) are common and therefore a strict imaging follow up protocol is required. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can detect intra-operative complications and to compare this with angiography and the 1 month CT follow up (computed tomography angiography [CTA]).
Regional distribution of neuroendocrine cells in the urogenital duct system of the male rat
BACKGROUND Neuroendocrine (NE) cells are frequently present in the human prostate and urethra, whereas they are lacking in the other urogenital organs. This study was undertaken as there are only few detailed studies available on the distribution, form and function of NE cells and the structure of excretory ducts of the accessory sex organs in the male rat.
Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension: Rule of thirds in the Skaraborg project
Objective. To describe the prevalence, awareness, and control of hypertension in a Swedish population during the early 2000s to address implications for care and prevention. Design. A cross-sectional population survey. Setting. Primary health care in Skaraborg, a rural part of western Sweden. Subjects. Participants (n = 2816) in a population survey of a random sample of men and women between 30 an
Pulse Pressure, Arterial Stiffness, and End-Organ Damage
Whereas larger arteries participate in the dampening of blood pressure (BP) oscillations resulting from intermittent ventricular ejection, smaller arteries steadily deliver an adequate supply of blood from the heart to the peripheral organs. Numerous active mechanisms are involved in this process. Cyclic stress acts differently from steady stress, inducing stronger and stiffer material of the vess
Simultaneous measurements of colony size and heat production rate of a mould (Penicillium brevicompactum) growing on agar
Fungal colony size development, often measured as the increase in colony diameter, is used frequently as a parameter for presenting and modelling fungi's biomass growth. Another measure of fungal growth is the heat production rate (thermal power), which represents the metabolic activities of the fungi. In this study, the colony size and the heat production rate were simultaneously measured on a fi
Urinary bladder cancer treated with radical cystectomy: Perioperative parameters and early complications prospectively registered in a national population-based database
Objective. Cystectomy combined with pelvic lymph-node dissection and urinary diversion entails high morbidity and mortality. Improvements are needed, and a first step is to collect information on the current situation. In 2011, this group took the initiative to start a population-based database in Sweden (population 9.5 million in 2011) with prospective registration of patients and complications u
Nuclear astrophysics with radioactive ions at FAIR
The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by neutron captures in the s and r processes. However, 32 stable, proton-rich isotopes cannot be formed during those processes, because they are shielded from the s-process flow and r-process beta-decay chains. These nuclei are attributed to the p and rp process. For all those processes, current research in nuclear astrophysics addresses the
Examining the Acceptability, Attractiveness, and Effects of a School-Based Validating Interview for Adolescents Who Self-Injure
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents is a significant problem that needs to be addressed, and in some cases managed, in school settings. The current feasibility study uses screening questionnaires and follow up-interviews on NSSI in a community sample of adolescents (N ¼ 1,052) in Sweden. Both adolescents reporting self-injury (n ¼ 66) and a comparison group (n ¼ 31) were interviewed, and
Workplace strength training prevents deterioration of work ability among workers with chronic pain and work disability: a randomized controlled trial.
The package logic: A study on value creation and knowledge flows
The analysis of how value is created is often associated with the value chain, a framework that aligns resources and activities into deliveries. However, it is questionable whether the value chain logic is applicable to all firms. As a consequence, the value shop model has been suggested to meet the critique of the chain logic. This article addresses the topic of value creation logics and value co

Impact of cell wall-degrading enzymes on water-holding capacity and solubility of dietary fibre in rye and wheat bran.
BACKGROUND: Rye and wheat bran were treated with several xylanases and endoglucanases, and the effects on physicochemical properties such as solubility, viscosity, water-holding capacity and particle size as well as the chemical composition of the soluble and insoluble fractions of the bran were studied. A large number of enzymes with well-defined activities were used. This enabled a comparison be
Subsequent leukaemia in autoimmune disease patients.
Previous studies have shown that patients diagnosed with some autoimmune (AI) diseases are at an increased risk of leukaemia but limited data are available on survival. We systematically analysed the risks (standardized incidence ratio, SIR) and survival (hazard ratio, HR) in nine types of leukaemia among 402 462 patients hospitalized for any of 33 AI diseases and compared to persons not hospitali
Haematological toxicity in adult patients receiving craniospinal irradiation - Indication of a dose-bath effect.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the haematological toxicity observed in patients treated with craniospinal irradiation, and the dose distribution in normal tissue, specifically the occurrence of large volumes exposed to low dose.
Molecular imprinting in Pickering emulsions: a new insight into molecular recognition in water.
Molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres were synthesized by Pickering emulsion polymerization. Fluorescence spectroscopic investigations provided insights into the template recognition in water.
Dural lesions in decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis: incidence, risk factors and effect on outcome.
INTRODUCTION: Decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most frequent operations on the spine today. The most common complication seems to be a peroperative dural lesion. There are few prospective studies on this complication regarding incidence and effect on long-term outcome; this is the background for the current study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Swespine, the Swedish Spine Register do

Prognostic factors in lung cancer in a defined geographical area over two decades with a special emphasis on gender.
Introduction: Many studies over recent decades report an increasing incidence of lung cancer in female patients. Female gender is often reported as a good prognostic factor. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate prognostic factors with a special emphasis on gender. Methods: During 1989-2008, 1497 patients in eastern Scania, a part of southern Sweden with 202 000 inhabitan
