Human prostate specific antigen, PSA, is a product of the human glandular kallikrein gene locus on chromosome 19 that is almost selectively expressed by prostate tissue. PSA is one of the dominating prostate derived proteins in seminal fluid. The mature form of PSA, a single chain glycoprotein of 237 amino acids, is a serine protease manifesting restricted chymotrypsin-like activity. PSA is mainly
The introduction of total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) testing in serum has revolutionized the detection and management of men with prostate cancer. This review will highlight some of the exciting new developments in the field of prostate cancer screening in general and from our SPORE research program at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. First, it is important to understand that the inhe
I den här rapporten analyseras ett urval av de totalt 100 projekt som ingått i Arvsfondens Nyanländasatsning vilken hade till syfte att stärka nyanlända barns och ungas etablering och delaktighet i samhället. Rapporten bygger på tre delstudier. En dokumentstudie bestående av ansökningshandlingar, årsrapporter och i förekommande fall slutrapporter från projekten, en enkät omfattande 89 av sats
More than a quarter of Sweden's population are of foreign background and as signs and prevalence of skin diseases vary across different skin types, lack of knowledge on this issue can potentially threaten health equity. In addition to being melanin rich, structural and functional characteristics in the skin of black individuals, such as hyperreactive melanocytes and fibroblasts, explain some of th
Peace agreements, especially those signalling the end of internal armed conflicts, can be understood as blueprints of the envisioned peacebuilding. This chapter provides a discursive analysis of 130 peace agreements from interstate and intrastate conflicts in Africa between 1990 and 2019 which have provisions on women, girls or gender. The aim is to explore how women, their roles and functions are
In this paper, the effects of internal coolant crossflow on double-jet holes were simulated and compared with two rows of cylindrical holes under three blowing ratios (M = 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5), with an established and validated turbulence model. The results show that double-jet holes can provide better film cooling performance for the three different blowing ratios compared with cylindrical holes. A
This chapter takes the fall of the Berlin Wall as its point of departure, and from there it traces a trajectory of unforeseen developments that have led from the erstwhile global optimism to the dramatic shift in mood just three short decades later. The key questions posed are: What global developments that were unforeseen then can account for the much more sombre ambience, pessimism or even alarm
Ectopic expression of transcription factor combinations has been recently demonstrated to reprogram differentiated somatic cells towards the dendritic cell (DC) lineage without reversion to a multipotent state. DCs have the ability to induce potent and long-lasting adaptive immune responses. In particular, conventional type 1 DCs (cDC1s) excel on antigen cross-presentation, a critical step for ind
Socialt arbete sker inte sällan i samhällets marginaler med människor som lever i en osäker, utsatt situation. Samhället hjälp och stöd distribueras allt som oftast av socialarbetare med stöd av lag, som inte alltid är given och entydig. Att djupare förstå relevant lagstiftning och andra rättskällor, samt deras individuella och samhälleliga effekter, är därför en viktig del i socialarbetares utbil
Background: Long-distance migratory birds undergo complex annual cycles during which they must adjust their behaviour according to the needs and conditions encountered throughout the year. Yet, variation in activity throughout the entire annual cycle has rarely been studied in wild migratory birds. Methods: We used multisensor data loggers to evaluate the patterns of activity throughout the comple

The existence of impartial and independent courts is a cornerstone of the success of the European project. The recent renaissance of “illiberal States” jeopardises the application of the rule of law and risks destroying the foundations of the EU legal order. In 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) began developing two new lines of case-law. Firstly, the CJEU found itself to be c
