Resistance to activated protein C a novel risk factor for venous thrombosis

Popular Abstract in Swedish Venös trombossjukdom (blodpropp i ben och lunga) förekommer i en frekvens av ca 160 per 100.000 invånare och år i Malmö. Venös trombossjukdom är en av våra vanligaste sjukdomar. Bakgrunden till venös trombossjukdom är mångfacetterad och både ärftliga och förvärvade riskfaktorer bidrar till sjukdomen. Kända riskfaktorer är övervikt, immobilisering (ex gipsbehandling, slaActivated protein C resistance (APC resistance) is the most common hereditary condition associated with venous thrombosis. The syndrome known as APC resistance is perfectly linked to a mutation in the gene coding coagulation FV (FV:Q506) mutation changing Arg 506 to Gln in the APC cleavage site. APC-resistance is associated with a hypercoagulable state and life-long increased risk of thrombosis. A

Incentives to catalyse green building certifications for building construction

In the construction industry, sustainability and greening is more than just a passing trend. It has become an important agenda since the building sector has immense environmental impacts. It accounts for 42% of final energy consumption and about 35% of all greenhouse gas emissions. In order to meet these challenges, the construction industry needs to change and adopt new working procedures which t

Spherical Machines: A Literature Review

This report contains a summary of the work with spherical electrical machines found in the specialised literature. Spherical actuators allow several degrees of freedom (DOF), which is particularly interesting in robotics. Complex movements are traditionally accomplished by combining several electrical machines with 1-DOF, ending up with an overweight actuator and accuracy problems due to tolerance

Characterization of Millimeter Wave Phased Array Antennas in Mobile Terminal for 5G Mobile System

This paper presents a characterization method for millimeter wave (mmWave) phased array antennas in the mobile terminal for 5G communication. Arrays of different antenna designs, operating at 28 GHz, are evaluated according to novel characterization methods in this context - the total scan pattern of the phased array and its respective coverage efficiency. The results show the relevance of evaluat

Species specific susceptibility testing for ß-lactam antibiotics. With special reference to staphylococci.

The main objective of this thesis was to identify methods for the detection of ß-lactam resistance in staphylococci, bacteria often causing nosocomial infections. Detection of ß-lactam resistance in these species is difficult due to strong regulation of genes encoding for the two main resistance mechanisms, ß-lactamase production and the penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 2?. ß-lactamase has high af
