Adaptation and Ecosystem Services in Urban Parks, examples from Berlin

Urban tourism depends on the place specific qualities of destinations. In many cities, climate change poses a threat to these qualities, through increasing risk of excessive heat, draught and flooding. Cities need to adapt to reduce these risks. One way of doing this is to improve their green infrastructure. Urban forests, parks, rivers and wetlands may help reduce the effects of climate change in

More efficient reversal of dabigatran inhibition of coagulation by activated prothrombin complex concentrate or recombinant factor VIIa than by four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate

The number of patients on antithrombotic treatment due to atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism is increasing fast due to an aging population. A growing proportion will be treated with novel oral anticoagulants, the first in clinical use was the direct oral thrombin inhibitor dabigatran (Pradaxa®). A small percentage of the patients on dabigatran will experience serious bleeding or be in

Assay discrepancy in mild haemophilia A

UNLABELLED: There are three main methods used to assay factor VIII (FVIII) activity: the one-stage and two-stage clotting assays and the two-stage chromogenic method. The most commonly used assay for the diagnosis of haemophilia A is the automated one-stage FVIII assay. The classical two-stage FVIII assays are less frequently used. The chromogenic FVIII:C assay is a variant of the two-stage assay.

Measuring Oral Direct Inhibitors (ODIs) of thrombin and factor Xa : A recommendation from the Subcommittee on Control of Anticoagulation of the Scientific and Standardisation Committee of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis

Oral direct inhibitors (ODIs) of thrombin and factor Xa are now approved as anticoagulant drugs. The first two drugs to complete phase III clinical trials for thromboprophylaxis in orthopaedic surgery and treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism were dabigatran and rivaroxaban. These small molecules are given at fixed dose with no requirement for monitoring as pharm

The article takes its point of departure in a contemporary Scandinavian literary debate regarding the function and possible societal impact of climate-oriented poetry and prose. Against the ecocentric, anti-modernist and anti-formalist tenets dominating this debate, Friis and Thomsen want to examine how the formal aspects of literary texts might be relevant for ecocritical work. Through critical d

This article discusses the motif of reproductive work as it pops up in Scandinavian poetry in the 1960s and 70s. Shopping for groceries, the peeling and cooking of potatoes and the like are activities that the works of for instance Inger Christensen, Kirsten Thorup, Vita Andersen and Sonja Åkesson mark with a conspicuous poetic intensity that revaluates domestic/reproductive work as work proper.

Combined effect of factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20210A on the risk of venous thromboembolism : Pooled analysis of 8 case-control studies including 2310 cases and 3204 controls

Factor V Leiden and factor II G20210A mutations are two frequent genetic risk factors involved in venous thromboembolism (VTE). The goal of this pooled analysis of 8 case-control studies, comprising a total of 2310 cases and 3204 controls, was to precisely estimate the risk of VTE in patients bearing both mutations (double heterozygotes). Odds ratios for VTE were 4.9 (95% CI; 4.1-5.9) for the fact

Pilot impact on turbulent premixed methane/air and hydrogen-enriched methane/air flames in a laboratory-scale gas turbine model combustor

The impact of pilot flame operation on the combustion of pure methane and hydrogen-enriched methane (H2/CH4: 50/50 in vol%) fuels was investigated in a gas turbine model combustor under atmospheric conditions. The burner assembly was designed to mimic the geometry of an industrial burner, the Siemens DLE Burner, in which a concentric annular ring equipped with pilot flame burners is implemented in

Manual Placenta Removal is Associated with Increased Postpartum Prescriptions of Antibiotics: a Retrospective Cohort Study of Data from the Anti-Infection Tool

PurposeNo consensus exists whether to administer prophylactic antibiotics in conjunction with manual placenta removal. This study aimed to investigate the postpartum risk of a new prescription of antibiotic treatment, a possible indirect variable for infection, after manual placenta removal.MethodsObstetric data were merged with data from the Anti-Infection Tool (Swedish antibiotic registry).

Blind sports’ blind spot: The global epidemiology of visual impairment against participation trends in elite blind para sport

Background: It remains unknown whether access to elite blind sports opportunities is globally balanced or matches the prevalence of blindness/visual impairment (VI). The primary objective of this study was to determine the rate of elite blind sports participation in each world region registered in the International Blind Sports Federation’s (IBSA) and to assess its association with the global and

Safe and Healthy Para sport project (SHAPE): a study protocol of a complex intervention within Para sport

Elite Para athletes report a high incidence of sports injuries, illnesses and other health issues. Despite this, there are few prevention programmes in Para sport, and many of the existing prevention programmes are not adapted to Para athletes. To improve the success of preventive measures, it has been suggested that sports safety work should facilitate health promotion, including athlete health e
