Vi redogör för ett patientfall med covid-19-associerad myokardit.Patienten hade förhöjda hjärtskademarkörer, men inte avsevärt stegrade inflammationsmarkörer såsom D-dimer och interleukin-6. Tidigare fallrapporter indikerar att en myokarditbild kan uppträda vid covid-19, både genom förekomst av sars-cov-2 i myokardiet och immunologisk aktivering. I detta fall var orsaken sannolikt infektion i myok

BACKGROUND: During the past 4 decades, there has been a growing focus on preserving the fertility of patients with childhood cancer; however, no large studies have been conducted of live births across treatment decades during this period. Therefore, the authors estimated the potential birth deficit in female childhood cancer survivors and the probability of live births. METHODS: In total, 8886 wom

Around 20 % of all electrical energy goes to lighting. There is a strong need to make this figure lower. Our research group has for more than a decade worked with the problem how to reduce the energy use for lighting, but at the same time provide better lighting conditions to meet human needs. The work comprises both laboratory studies and field studies. Two different tracks have been used: One th

Animal coloration is a multifaceted trait with many ecological roles and related to a variety of developmental and physiological processes. Consequently, coloration is often subject to a variety of selective pressures, leading to the evolutionary maintenance of variation. In this study, we investigated hypotheses related to the maintenance of dorsal color variation in wood frogs (Rana sylvatica).

As human's marine activities, such as marine aquaculture, ocean shipping and coastal facilities construction, flourished world-widely, it is required to monitor the sea-wave dynamics timely and accurately. The radar introduced in this paper, namely “Sea-wave-dynamics Monitoring and Imaging System (SMIS)”, working in the S-band at the center frequency of 3.1 GHz, is applicable to retrieving sea-wav

In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)have been used extensively in military and civilian fields, making the research on cellular-connected UAVs a popular topic forFifth Generation (5G) and beyond communications. In order to support the increasing amount of applications, it is essential to evaluate the performance of UAV communications. In this work, the end-to-end delay, packet success

Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has been considered as a key enabler for the fifth-generation (5G) communications. It is essential to design and test mmWave 5G devices under various realisticscenarios since the radio propagation channels pose intrinsic limitations on the performance. This requires emulating realistic dynamic mmWave channels in a reproducible

Background and Aim: Trigger finger (TF) or stenosing tenosynovitis has been associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), although today’s knowledge is mostly based on cross-sectional and case-control studies. Thus, the aim of the present population-based cohort study over more than 20 years was to investigate DM as a risk factor for TF.Methods: Data from Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS), including 30

A compact soft X-ray emission spectrometer for the energy region of 50-600 eV has been designed and constructed for the long undulator beamline BL-09A in the NewSUBARU synchrotron radiation (SR) facility. The optical design of the spectrometer is based on a grazing incidence flat-field spectrometer using a valid line-spacing grating. The average groove density of the grating is 2000 L/mm, and the

Derivatives of 3-ethyl-3-(hydroxymethyl)oxetane (trimethylolpropane oxetane), potentially useful in cationic UV-curable formulations, were prepared by the simple acid-catalyzed addition of alcohols to 1-alkenyl ethers. Examples include several difunctional oxetane derivatives along with one fluorinated and one acryloylated oxetane derivative. These new materials may find use as reactive diluents o

Thiol-ene photocurable systems based on a trifunctional thiol [trimethylolpropane tris-(3-mercaptopropanoate)] and two different multifunctional allyl ethers (trimethylolpropane triallyl ether and Boltorn U2, an allyl functional dendritic polyester) were examined. To these systems, small amounts (

We analyzed the impacts of drought severity on a variety of sectors in a topographically complex basin (the upper Aragón basin 2181 km2) in the Central Spanish Pyrenees. Using diverse data sources including meteorological and hydrological observations, remote sensing and tree rings, we analyze the possible hydrological implications of drought occurrence and severity on water availability in variou

Background Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest disease that claims millions of deaths globally. Ethiopia is among the countries heavily hit by the disaster. Despite the effective directly observed treatment and TB infection control (TBIC) measures provided by the world health organization (WHO), the rate of new cases increased daily throughout the country. Healthcare workers (HCWs) ar

PD-L1 expression assessed by immunohistochemical staining is used for the selection of immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Appropriate validation of PD-L1 expression in cytology specimens is important as cytology is often the only diagnostic material in NSCLC. In a previous study comprising two different cohorts of paired biopsies and cytological specimens, we found a fairly good

BACKGROUND: Positive margins after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and subsequent second surgery are associated with increased costs and patient discomfort. The aim of this study was to develop a prediction model for positive margins based on risk factors available before surgery. METHODS: Patients undergoing BCS for in situ or invasive cancer between 2015 and 2016 at site A formed a development c

The Metadata 2020 initiative is an ongoing effort to bring various scholarly communications stakeholder groups together to promote principles and standards of practice to improve the quality of metadata. To understand the perspectives and practices regarding metadata of the main stakeholder groups (librarians, publishers, researchers, and repository managers), we conducted a survey during summer 2

Real-time fault monitoring and control of the Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Moulding production process requires knowledge of the position of the epoxy flow-front inside the mould. Therefore, a fast and accurate flow-front tracking system is highly prized. Physics-informed grey-box models deliver a good trade-off between high fidelity and data-driven black-box models for designing such a flow-fro
