The Complement Regulator C4b-Binding Protein (C4BP) Interacts with both the C4c and C4dg Subfragments of the Parent C4b Ligand: Evidence for Synergy in C4BP Subsite Binding.
Folding thermodynamics of peptides
A simplified interaction potential for protein folding studies at the atomic level is discussed and tested on a set of peptides with; 20 residues each. The test set contains both alpha-helical ( Trp cage, F-s) and beta-sheet ( GB1p, GB1m2, GB1m3, Betanova, LLM) peptides. The model, which is entirely sequence-based, is able to fold these different peptides for one and the same choice of model param

Cooperation between gatekeepers in sickness insurance - the perspective of social insurance officers. A qualitative study.
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Objective was to describe variations in how social insurance officers conceive the cooperation with the health care in their daily work with sick leave. METHODS: Fifteen social insurance officers (SIOs) working with administration of sickness benefits were interviewed. They were purposefully recruited to represent different parts of the social insurance office organization, d
Prognostic effects of pre-hospital and in-hospital therapeutic interventions on 30-days mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock

Deficiency for endoglin in tumor vasculature weakens the endothelial barrier to metastatic dissemination
Therapy-induced resistance remains a significant hurdle to achieve long-lasting responses and cures in cancer patients. We investigated the long-term consequences of genetically impaired angiogenesis by engineering multiple tumor models deprived of endoglin, a co-receptor for TGF-beta in endothelial cells actively engaged in angiogenesis. Tumors from endoglin-deficient mice adapted to the weakened
High-pt direct photon-hadron correlations using the PHENIX detector
Direct photons are a powerful probe to study the property of quark–gluon plasma (QGP) in high energy heavy-ion collisions. In non-central collisions, the anisotropy of the collision region produces the different pressure gradients and particle density that results in different anisotropy of particle emission, depending on the production processes of photons. Therefore, an azimuthal anisotropy para
Snabb behandling vid septisk chock räddar liv - Även om »early goal-directed therapy«-protokoll inte ger effekt i nya studier. : Fast treatment of septic shock saves lives. Although "early goal-directed therapy"-protocol does not show any effect in new studies
Three recent randomised trials have shown a lack of effect of EGDT for the treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock. Notably, control group care was excellent in all trials, including early recognition, early and aggressive fluid resuscitation and prompt administration of antibiotics, and was reflected in a lower than expected mortality.The discussion emphasizes the need for continued vigilanceThree recent randomised trials have shown a lack of effect of EGDT for the treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock.

Activation of a Temporal Memory in Purkinje Cells by the mGluR7 Receptor.
Cerebellar Purkinje cells can learn to respond to a conditioned stimulus with an adaptively timed pause in firing. This response was usually ascribed to long-term depression of parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapses but has recently been shown to be due to a previously unknown form of learning involving an intrinsic cellular timing mechanism. Here, we investigate how these responses are elicited
Long-term follow-up of patients with severe ANCA-associated vasculitis comparing plasma exchange to intravenous methylprednisolone treatment is unclear
Patients with antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) requiring dialysis at diagnosis are at risk for developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or dying. Shortterm results of a trial comparing plasma exchange (PLEX) to intravenous methylprednisolone (IV MeP) suggested PLEX improved renal recovery. Here we conducted long-term follow-up to see if this trend persisted. A total o
Analysis of Buffer Delay in Web-Server Control
This paper addresses a problem related to control of web servers. Due to architectual issues, relevant measurements can only be taken over a limited part of the server system, which leaves the controller unaware of what happens in buffers proceeding the actual web-server (for instance, in the TCP/IP layers). In earlier presented work we modeled such a system and proved that the unmeasured bufferin
Incidence of Lower Limb Amputation in the Diabetic and Nondiabetic General Population: A 10-year Population-based Cohort Study of Initial Unilateral, Contralateral and Re-amputations.
OBJECTIVE - The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of vascular lower-limb amputation (LLA) in the diabetic and nondiabetic general population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A population-based cohort study was conducted in a representative Swedish region. All vascular LLAs (at or proximal to the transmetatarsal level) performed from 1997 through 2006 were consecutively registered an

Hip disorders and osteoarthritis: focus on health-related quality of life, assesssment and intervention
Popular Abstract in Swedish De övergripand syftena med dessa studier var att undersöka vilka konsekvenser höftbesvär och höftledsartros har på hälsorelaterad livskvalité, fysisk förmåga och tilltro till egen förmåga. Höftledsartros är ofta förknippad med svår smärta och påverkar både fysiska funktioner och livskvalité. Förekomsten av höftbesvär, i en befolkningsgrupp i södra Sverige, var 32%, och The overall aims of this work were to investigate the consequences of hip disorders and hip osteoarthritis (OA) on health-related quality of life (HRQL) physical function and self-efficacy. The condition, hip OA, is often associated with significant pain and has a strong impact on physical function and quality of life. The prevalence of hip disorders were 32% and among the individuals reporting h
Gradient Methods for Large-Scale and Distributed Linear Quadratic Control
Popular Abstract in Undetermined I den här populärvetenskapliga sammanfattningen berörs avhandlingen Gradient Methods for Large-Scale and Distributed Linear Quadratic Control. Hur kan jetflygplan hålla sig i luften? Hur kan en Segway balansera en människa? Dessa frågor och många fler kan besvaras med hjälp av reglerteknik. Reglerteknik är ett område som behandlar hur man automatiskt styr system oThis thesis considers methods for synthesis of linear quadratic controllers for large-scale, interconnected systems. Conventional methods that solve the linear quadratic control problem are only applicable to systems with moderate size, due to the rapid increase in both computational time and memory requirements as the system size increases. The methods presented in this thesis show a much slower
Entrepreneurship research in China: internationalization or contextualization?
Entrepreneurship is an emerging research field that has received much scholarly attention in recent decades. Given the global scope of this attention, this article compares entrepreneurship research in China with that in the USA and Europe. Based on publications in Social Science Citation Index and Chinese Social Science Citation Index databases over the past 10 years, we use bibliometric method t

Skräddaren, sömmerskan och modet : arbetsmetoder och arbetsdelning i tillverkningen av kvinnlig dräkt 1770-1830
The aim of this study in textile studies and cultural history is to gain a greater understanding of what happened to the division of labour and manufacturing techniques when female fashions changed in the period 1770-1830. This was a time of upheaval as regards fashions, and a change in dress practice. The decades around 1800 were a period of major societal and cultural transformation. Female fash
