In this paper we extend the color dipole formalism to the study of exclusive processes associated with a leading neutron in ep collisions at high energies. The exclusive ρ, φ and J/Ψ production, as well as the deeply virtual Compton scattering, are analyzed assuming a diffractive interaction between the color dipole and the pion emitted by the incident proton. We compare our predictions with the H
Background: As lung function declines rapidly in the early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the effects of bronchodilators in patients with moderate disease and those who have not previously received maintenance therapy are of interest. OTEMTO® 1 and 2 were two replicate, 12-week, Phase III studies investigating the benefit of tiotropium + olodaterol on lung function and qua
Mutations resulting in constitutive activation of signaling pathways that regulate ribosome biogenesis are among the most common genetic events in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, whether ribosome biogenesis presents as a therapeutic target to treat AML remains unexplored. Perturbations in ribosome biogenesis trigger the 5S ribonucleoprotein particle (RNP)–Mdm2–p53 ribosomal stress pathway,
Current time-resolution-limited dynamic measurements clearly show the need for improved techniques to access processes on the sub-10-femtosecond timescale. To access this regime, we have designed and constructed a state-of-the-art time-resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect apparatus, based on a new dual-color scheme, for the measurement of ultrafast demagnetization and precessional dynamics in magnet
Aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) cells are widely distributed in the spinal cord, and their functions are largely unknown. We have previously found that AADC cells in the spinal cord could increase their ability to produce serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) from 5-hydroxytryptophan after spinal cord injury (SCI). Because AADC is a common enzyme catalyzing 5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin an
Background: Type 2 diabetes and its cardiovascular disease complications are the major public health threats of our century. Although physical activity and dietary changes are the cornerstones in prevention of diabetes, their broad implementation is not elementary and other complementary lifestyle regimens are needed. Summary: Vasopressin (VP) is the main regulator of body water homeostasis, and a
Purpose To develop an infrastructure for structured and automated collection of interoperable radiation therapy (RT) data into a national clinical quality registry. Materials and methods The present study was initiated in 2012 with the participation of seven of the 15 hospital departments delivering RT in Sweden. A national RT nomenclature and a database for structured unified storage of RT data a
Nutritional management of blood glucose levels is a strategic target in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). To implement such an approach, it is essential to understand the effect of food on glycemic regulation and on the underlying metabolic derangements. This comprehensive review summarizes the results from human dietary interventions exploring the impact of dietary
Biblioteks- och informationsvetenskaplig forskning har visat hur infrastruk-turer och data inte är neutrala utan bidrar till att forma både det som de re-presenterar och sammanhangen där de används. Vi utgår från dessa insik-ter och diskuterar i artikeln en nyhetsrapportering från november 2015 som handlade om en eventuell förändring av abortgränsen i Sverige. Registerda-ta från Svenskt Neonatalt Library and information studies research has shown how infrastructures and data are, contrary to common perceptions, not neutral but take part in sha- ping what they represent and the contexts in which they are used. Starting off from these insights we discuss Swedish media reports from November 2015 about a possible alteration of the abortion limit due to recent findings in neonatal care and rese
We investigated phonon-phonon interactions in photoexcited single-crystalline graphite by ultrafast electron diffraction. Transient electron diffraction profiles from a 35 nm graphite film were observed following laser excitation. Changes in intensities of diffraction spots revealed a two-exponential relaxation process with
We report on a theoretical study of the electronic structures of the [1 1 1]-oriented, freestanding, zincblende InAs and InP nanowires with hexagonal cross sections by means of an atomistic sp3s∗, spinorbit interaction included, nearest-neighbor, tight-binding method. The band structures and the band state wave functions of these nanowires are calculated and the symmetry properties of the bands an
People who live in brown bear areas often fear encounters with these animals. This article evaluated the potential effect of exposure to bears and their habitats on human fear of brown bears using the modeling of appropriate behavior when close to bears. In a within-subject design, 25 persons who reported to be fearful of brown bears participated in a guided walk approaching approximately 50 m of
Objective: Iron isomaltoside (Monofer®) is a high-dose intravenous iron preparation with good tolerability and efficacy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). This trial evaluates the safety and efficacy, including effect on intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23) of a high single dose and cumulative doses of iron isomaltoside in IBD patients with IDA.
Calcium-rich supernovae (SNe) represent a significant challenge for our understanding of the fates of stellar systems. They are less luminous than other SN types and they evolve more rapidly to reveal nebular spectra dominated by strong calcium lines with weak or absent signatures of other intermediate-and iron-group elements, which are seen in other SNe. Strikingly, their explosion sites also mar
Four species of Coleoptera, not previously reported from Sweden are presented; Euconnus campestris (Schaufuss, 1866) (Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae), Scopaeus ryei Wollaston, 1872 (Staphylinidae: Paederinae), Acritus homoeopaticus Wollaston, 1857 (Histeridae) and Ephistemus reitteri Casey, 1900 (Cryptophagidae). They have all been collected using car net in an area next to the lake Häckeberga in Sca
Background and Purpose - Orosomucoid (α-1-acid glycoprotein) is an acute-phase protein that has been implicated in anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, and angiogenic pathways. Orosomucoid has also been associated with coronary disease and stroke. The relationship between orosomucoid, carotid plaque, and stroke incidence were explored in this study. Methods - Plasma levels of orosomucoid were asse
Lake Eibsee, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, November 19 to 21, 2015: The European Stroke Organization convened >120 stroke experts from 27 countries to discuss latest results and hot topics in clinical, translational, and basic stroke research. Since its inception in 2011, the European Stroke Science Workshop has become a cornerstone of European Stroke Organization's academic activities and major highlig
BACKGROUND: Globally, the most common method for in situ fixation of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a threaded screw, which causes physeal arrest. The standard treatment in Sweden is unthreaded fixation using the Hansson hook-pin, which leads to continued growth of the femoral neck. Our purpose was to study remodeling during the remaining growth after fixation with the Hansson hook-pi
Objectives: The Swedish Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Register (SPAHR) is an open continuous register, including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients from 2000 and onwards. We hereby launch the first data from SPAHR, defining baseline characteristics and survival of Swedish PAH and CTEPH patients. Design: Incident PAH and CTEPH
Increasingly the material research deals with is cast as data. This is an ambiguous concept, which describes the matter of research in all stages of the research process. From having been seen as a stepping-stone on the way to producing the scientific results, increasingly data is itself positioned as the result. At the same time demands for data preservation and open data are often motivated with
