Förmaksflimmer drabbar mer än 3 procent av Sveriges vuxna befolkning. Detta gör förmaksflimmer till ett vanligt tillstånd på akutmottagningen, dit patienterna kommer med olika symtom som andfåddhet, hjärtklappning, trötthet, bröstsmärta eller oroskänsla. Vid tromboembolisering till hjärnan kan patienten drabbas av stroke, synkope eller sänkt medvetandegrad. Det är därför viktigt att uppmärksamma oAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia. When handling patients with AF at the emergency care department it is of utmost importance to take a structural approach, make the right diagnosis, take care of the risk and/or trigger factors, treat and make sure there is an adequate follow-up.

Electrocardiographic Decision Support - Myocardial Ischaemia (EDS-MI) is a graphical decision support for detection and localization of acute transmural ischaemia. A recent study indicated that EDS-MI performs well for detection of acute transmural ischaemia. However, its performance has not been tested in patients with non-ischaemic ST-deviation. We aimed to optimize the diagnostic accuracy of ED

Mitigating degradation is essential for extending the lifetime of solid oxide electrochemical cells (SOCs). The conditions leading to degradation, e.g. overpotentials, gas partial pressures, thermal gradients are hard, if not impossible, to retrieve experimentally. Thus, to deconvolute the response from cell testing, modeling can be applied to understand the degradation phenomena in greater detail

Background: Increased blood pressure is the biggest contributor to the global burden of disease and mortality. Data suggest that less than half of the population with hypertension is aware of it. May Measurement Month was initiated to raise awareness of the importance of blood pressure and as a pragmatic interim solution to the shortfall in screening programmes. Methods: This cross-sectional surve

Elemental Carbon (EC) has been in focus for a long time due to its importance for climate effects and human health (WHO / IPCC). The pollutant is released by incomplete combustion of carbon fuels, making road traffic, off-road machinery, and wood stove burning the largest sources of EC emissions. In this work, we investigate the distribution of EC over Denmark using a combination of three models w

Feedback control is increasingly being applied in server systems to make them more robust and efficient. This includes managing quality of service, minimizing power consumption, and adapting to varying workloads. Successful adaptation and control in turn relies on accurate tracking of workload variations and timely detection of changes in the computing infrastructure. Given that server systems are

We prove several off-diagonal and pointwise estimates for singular integral operators that extend compactly on Lp.(ℝn).

I Lunds universitets handlingsplan för utveckling av e-lärande vid Lunds universitet 2016-18 beskrivs det som ett universitetsgemensamt mål att ”verka för en ökad användning av e-lärandeoch digitalt stöd för undervisning och examination [...]”.Under våren 2016 tillsattes en arbetsgrupp1 vid Lunds universitets bibliotek som hade tilluppgift att bland annat inventera bibliotekens arbete i digitala l

An automated on-line sampling method was developed using microdialysis as the simultaneous sampling and sample pre-treatment technique. The extraction fraction values of microdialysis probes sampling different eicosanoids were investigated. The impact of cyclodextrins in the perfusion liquid used for sampling hydrophobic eicosanoids in biological systems was also studied. The total time for one an

Overweight and obesity are increasing worldwide, but the extent in breast cancer patients is unknown. The two aims were to study secular trends in preoperative body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and breast volume and their impacts on clinical outcome. BMI, waist circumference, and breast volume were measured preoperatively in 24–99-year-old primary breast cancer patients (n = 640) in Swed

Metallurgical debris is by far the most informative source material for studying the metal craftsmanship of the past. In comparison to the finished objects, which has attracted far more attention in archaeological research, debris material are more or less confined to the original workshop sites and hence provide direct evidence as to production volume and quality, site organization, artisanal ski

To investigate resting-state functional connectivity of lupus patients and associated subgroups according to the ACR NPSLE case definitions (ACR ad hoc). In addition, we investigated whether or not the observed alterations correlated with disease duration, the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI-2k), and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinical/ACR org

Pleiotropic effects of spices on health, particularly on glucose metabolism and energy regulation, deserve further clinical investigation into their efficacy. The aim of the current study was to evaluate whether consumption of a black pepper-based beverage (BPB) preload containing 20 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) would exert any effect on postprandial glycaemia, appetite sensations, gut hormones

Due to its element and site specificity, inner-shell photoelectron spectroscopy is a widely used technique to probe the chemical structure of matter. Here, we show that time-resolved inner-shell photoelectron spectroscopy can be employed to observe ultrafast chemical reactions and the electronic response to the nuclear motion with high sensitivity. The ultraviolet dissociation of iodomethane (CH3I
