We present the suggested temperature control system of the future ESS phase-reference line. The poster describes modeling, simulation, choice of hardware components, control algorithm, and measurement results from a 4.5 meter prototype developed at the Department of Automatic Control at Lund University in close collaboration with the European Spallation Source (ESS). The measurement results indica

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Little is known about whether prediagnostic nutritional factors may affect survival. We examined the associations of prediagnostic calcium intake from foods and/or supplements with lung cancer survival. Methods: The present analysis included 23,882 incident, primary lung cancer patients from 12 prospective cohort studies. Dietary calciu

OBJECTIVE: Identification of the causal mutation in an African-American family with adult-onset primary dystonia. BACKGROUND: The vast majority of patients with dystonia are adults with primary focal or segmental anatomical distributions. Familial and sporadic dystonia appear to share the same genetic etiological background. Although approximately 10% of probands have at least one first- or second

STUDY QUESTION Is male factor infertility associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes? SUMMARY ANSWER The study provides evidence that male factor infertility may predict later occurrence of diabetes mellitus with the risk being related to the severity of the underlying fertility problem. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Previous cross-sectional studies have shown an increased prevalence of como

Background: Gene-diet interactions have been reported to contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, to our knowledge, few examples have been consistently replicated to date. Objective: We aimed to identify existing evidence for genemacronutrient interactions and T2D and to examine the reported interactions in a large-scale study. Design: We systematically reviewed studies rep

BACKGROUND: There are conflicting data on whether changes in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentrations between time points (delta NT-proBNP and hs-CRP) are associated with a change in prognosis. METHODS: We measured NT-proBNP and hs-CRP at 3 time points in 1665 patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome

Heart transplantations have made it possible to extend the median survival time to 12 years for patients with end-stage heart diseases. This operation is unfortunately limited by the availability of donor organs and patients have to wait on average about 200 days in a waiting list before being operated. This waiting time varies considerably across the patients. In this paper, we studied the outcom

Texten belyser genom några nedslag i den författningspolitiska utvecklingen hur politiken förskjutits mot juridik och förrätts­ligats i Sverige under de senaste decennierna – något som fram­för allt är en följd av att svensk rätt underställts en transnation­ell konstitution som höjer marknadsaktörers rättigheter samt mänskliga rättigheter över de politiska instansernas besluts­bef

The collection of medieval Scanian church art at the Historical museum of Lund is unique as to both quantity and quality. Here, nearly a third of the churches in the province are represented and the wood sculpture encompasses everything from works by local artists to celebrated masters from the continent. On the second floor of the museum the visitor can see most and the best of it in a nearly tim

Human milk provides a very wide range of nutrients and bioactive components, including immune factors, human milk oligosaccharides, and a commensal microbiota. These factors are essential for interconnected processes including immunity programming and the development of a normal infant gastrointestinal microbiome. Newborn immune protection mostly relies on maternal immune factors provided through
