Hip development after surgery to prevent hip dislocation in cerebral palsy : a longitudinal register study of 252 children
Background and purpose — Operative treatment of hip displacement in cerebral palsy (CP) includes adductor–psoas lengthening (APL) or varus derotation osteotomy (VDRO) of the proximal femur, sometimes combined with pelvic osteotomy. After both operations, there is a significant risk of relapse and need for reoperation. We used the migration percentage (MP) to compare the development of hip displace
Entamoeba gingivalis : epidemiology, genetic diversity and association with oral microbiota signatures in North Eastern Tanzania
Background: Entamoeba gingivalis has been associated with periodontal diseases. Baseline data from the background population, which could help delimit the role of the parasite in health and disease, remain limited. Objective: To describe epidemiological features, genetic diversity, and associations with oral microbiome signatures of E. gingivalis colonisation in Tanzanians with non-oral/non-dental
Patient perspectives on living with severe asthma in Denmark and Sweden
Background: Severe asthma has an acknowledged impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and is associated with substantial health care costs. This study aimed to investigate the patients’ own experiences of the disease, perceptions of HRQOL, and awareness of disease management. Methods: This study included severe asthma patients in Sweden and Denmark. A quantitative Web-based survey and qua
Prostate biopsy quality and patient experience with the novel Forsvall biopsy needle–a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial
Background: Transrectal prostate biopsy (TRbx) carries an increasing risk of infection. The Forsvall Needle Prototype (FNP) is a novel biopsy needle that reduces bacterial load brought across the rectum and may therefore reduce infection risk. The objective of this study was to compare biopsy length, quality and patient experience for the FNP Version 2 (FNP2) versus a standard Tru-Cut needle. Meth
Wandering Legends : A Dialogue between a Syrian Saint and the City of Antioch in the Fifth Century AD
Not long ago the rise of monasticism was taken to be the creation of a Sonderwelt – an idea which also seemed to be reflected in the ancient literary material: the desert became a city of its own. However, a contradiction between city and monastery is often bridged by the very literature that created the rift, because texts travelled both ways – just as people did. In the context of this short con

A continuity flow based tomographic reconstruction algorithm for 4D multi-beam high temporal—low angular sampling
A mathematical framework and accompanying numerical algorithm exploiting the continuity equation for 4D reconstruction of spatiotemporal attenuation fields from multi-angle full-field transmission measurements is presented. The algorithm is geared towards rotation-free dynamic multi-beam X-ray tomography measurements, for which angular information is sparse but the temporal information is rich. 3D
A Colonial Celebrity in the New Attention Economy : Cecil Rhodes’s Cape-to-Cairo Telegraph and Railway Negotiations in 1899
In 1899, the British colonialist Cecil Rhodes went to Berlin to negotiate about his fantastical ‘Cape-to-Cairo’ telegraph and railway scheme with his former nemesis, the German emperor Wilhelm II. Why did this initiative of Rhodes, who was held responsible for the disastrous Jameson Raid and no longer occupied any official position, receive so much coverage and legitimacy in the international pres

The Sound of Serpents and Serpent-Slayers in Indo-European and Northwest Semitic
This paper is centered around using poetic-mythological vocabulary from Northwest Semitic languages as a key to reconstruction of IE phraseology. Mythological material from the NWS area – especially Ugaritic – can sometimes be shown to represent Indo-European borrowings into NWS poetic language; by studying these cases, knowledge may be gleaned about the loan-giver.The famous phrase *egwhent ogwhi

Förnyelsebara energibärares nuvarande och framtida konkurrenskraft : föreställningar om konkurrenskraft
The dissertation draws attention to the fact that in the world today 80% of the resources that are used are limited - non renewable energy carriers - and because of the long time between planning and doing (carrying out) within the energy sector, it is worthwhile from the long-term perspective to steer early on towards more sustain-able solutions, such as renewable energy carriers. The State and t

PPARGC1A Gene Promoter Methylation as a Biomarker of Insulin Secretion and Sensitivity in Response to Glucose Challenges
Methylation in CpG sites of the PPARGC1A gene (encoding PGC1-α) has been associated with adiposity, insulin secretion/sensitivity indexes and type 2 diabetes. We assessed the association between the methylation profile of the PPARGC1A gene promoter gene in leukocytes with insulin secretion/sensitivity indexes in normoglycemic women. A standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and an abbreviated
