OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe the clinical management of inadvertent arterial catheterisation after attempted central venous catheterisation. METHODS: Patients referred for surgical or endovascular management for inadvertent arterial catheterisation during a 5-year period were identified from an endovascular database, providing prospective information on techniques and outcome. The corres

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae is a significant pathogen in children, causing otitis media, sinusitis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, and occasionally invasive infections. H. influenzae type b conjugate vaccines have no effect on infections caused by nontypeable strains because nontypeable strains are nonencapsulated. Approximately, one-third of episodes of otitis media are caused by nontypeable H

The collective effective radiation dose to the population is increasing due to a higher use of computerised tomography. SharpView AB, Linköping, Sweden, has developed an adaptive non-linear post-processing image filtration that may enable the use of lower radiation doses. The present study assessed if a lower dose with image filtration had the same image quality as a higher dose without the filter

To accomplish timing recovery/synthesis in high-speed communication systems, a 24-b numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) IC using a circuit design technique called true single-phase clock (TSPC) pipelined CMOS has been fabricated in a standard 1.2-μm CMOS process. The device achieves a maximum tested input clock rate of 700 MHz, which results in an output frequency tuning range from DC up to 35

In the paper we consider a flow problem closely related to path diversity protection in communication networks. Given a weighted directed graph where some arcs are subject to failures while others are resilient, we aim at computing a shortest pair of failure-disjoint paths. If a resilient arc is used by both paths, its cost is counted only once. We present an original polynomial-time algorithm for

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling har jag velat pröva möjligheten att teckna en bild av en enskild medeltida person och spåra hans egen tanke- och handlingsvärld genom de källor, som han lämnat efter sig. Källorna är både skriftliga och materiella (klosterkyrkan i Sorø, borgen Havn, historieskrivningen Gesta Danorum, runstenen och kyrkan i Norra Åsum och Absalons testamente). Under In this dissertation I have sought to test the possibility of recreating a detailed picture of an individual medieval person, tracing the Danish archbishop Absalon's own world of thought and action through those surviving sources that he has left behind. The sources are both written and material, and they include the cloister church in Sorø, the Havn Castle, the Medieval history Gesta Danorum, the

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Posterior dislocation of the shoulder in brachial plexus birth palsy during the first year of life is rare but the incidence increases with age. The aim was to calculate the incidence of these lesions in children below one year of age. METHODS: The incidence of brachial plexus birth lesion and occurrence of posterior shoulder dislocation was calculated based on a prospective

Many international studies show that adolescents in coercive institutional care display high prevalences of mental disorders, especially in the form of disruptive behavior disorders [including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder], anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. High degrees of overlap across mental disorders have also been r

Abstract Conclusion: When measured together, it seems that vision and proprioception as well as position of the vestibular organ affect postural sway, vision the most. Mediolateral (ML) sway does not seem to be influenced by the position of the vestibular organ. Objective: To investigate how postural sway was affected by provocation of vision, by the position of the vestibular organ, and by provoc

Conversation of Lithuanian philosopher and writer Tomas Kavaliauskas with Niklas Bernsand and Andreas Johansson Heinö about Swedish identity, multiculturalism and historical memory. Text in Lithuanian.

In this paper, we report the results of a systematic study of the scaling effects of Young's modulus of nanowires of body-centered cubic iron. The investigation is performed by employing molecular statics tensile simulations. Two different crystallographic orientations are studied. The simulations show that there is a size dependence in Young's modulus, where the different crystallographic orienta

This paper studies the potential of spatial multiplexing for measured 60 GHz radio channels by estimating the number of eigenchannels. It is well-known that the number of available eigenchannels is dependent on a propagation channel condition as well as antenna array conguration. We evaluate a spatial degrees- of-freedom (SDoF) metric that depends on the propagation conditions and the antenna aper

This article focuses on the cultural and political landscape of the Danish islands of Lolland and Falster in the Middle Ages. The close economic and dynastic relationships between medieval Denmark and the Slavic area south of the Baltic Sea, as well as Slavic settlement on the islands,contributed to the emergence of complex realities and attitudes, as well as a particular ‘inbetweenness’of the isl
