Background: MRI is used to evaluate structural joint changes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, but no long-term data are available for comparing different treatment approaches. Purpose: To describe structural joint damage with MRI over a 5-year period in the Knee Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Nonsurgical versus Surgical Treatment (KANON) study and to compare frequencies of such tissue d

Background: Little is known about the heterogeneous etiology of suspected non-Alzheimer’s pathophysiology (SNAP), a group of subjects with neurodegeneration in the absence of β-amyloid. Using antemortem MRI and pathological data, we investigated the etiology of SNAP and the association of neurodegenerative pathologies with structural medial temporal lobe (MTL) measures in β-amyloid-negative subjec

Placental malaria can have severe consequences for both mother and child and effective vaccines are lacking. Parasite-infected red blood cells sequester in the placenta through interaction between parasite-expressed protein VAR2CSA and the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin sulfate A (CS) abundantly present in the intervillous space. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of the VAR2CSA ectodomain at up to

Bone properties and especially its microstructure around implants are crucial to evaluate the osseointegration of prostheses in orthopaedic, maxillofacial and dental surgeries. Given the intrinsic heterogeneous nature of the bone microstructure, an ideal probing tool to understand and quantify bone formation must be spatially resolved. X-ray imaging has often been employed, but is limited in the p

Background: The numbers of people who are on sick leave due to mental health problems, such as exhaustion disorder, are increasing in Sweden. One of the most affected groups is healthcare professionals. In order to develop preventive strategies to promote a sustainable working life for occupational therapists, there is a need to understand the associations between psychosocial working conditions,

The nature and structure of occupied and empty valence electronic states (molecular orbitals, MOs) of the [Ni(Salen)] molecular complex (NiO2N2C16H14) have been studied by X-ray photoemission and absorption spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. As a result, the composition of the high-lying occupied and low-lying unoccupied electronic states has been identified.

(KxNa1-x)NbO3 (KNN) and its solid solutions are considered as potential alternatives to traditional Pb-based piezoelectric materials. Recent investigations indicated that the local structure in KNN is much more complex than its long-range average structure. Here, we have undertaken a systematic investigation of the temperature-dependent evolution of local and average structures of KNN5 [(KxNa1-x)N

Economic thinking in global health refers to how framings, metaphors and concepts from economics are used in describing the health of a population and in designing interventions. In this article, I briefly examine the history of economic thinking in global health. I then review discussions over the economic aspects of health at the 5th World Health Assembly in 1952, based in part on an exchange be

Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is prescribed to patients that suffer from a severe progressive disease that is not sufficiently treated by conventional medications. A way to gain more knowledge about this treatment is usually by the local analysis of data. However, the use of large quality assessment registries enables analyses of even rare findings. Here, we report some of the recent data from the Wo

A search is presented for new phenomena in events characterised by high jet multiplicity, no leptons (electrons or muons), and four or more jets originating from the fragmentation of b-quarks (b-jets). The search uses 139fb-1 of s = 13 TeV proton–proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider during Run 2. The dominant Standard Model background originates from

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka urvalet av litterära texter i spanska som akademiskt ämne i Sverige under perioden 2000-2017 med fokus på genus. Hypotesen är att universitetet i sin egenskap av litteraturförmedlande institution gynnar konsekrerade verk av manliga författare, och att studenterna i hög grad låter sig orienteras av lärarnas urval. En undersökning av litteraturlistor från spaEl objetivo de este estudio es examinar la selección literaria de español como asignatura académica en Suecia del periodo 2000-2017 con enfoque en la cuestión de género. La hipótesis es que la universidad, en su calidad de institución transmisora, privilegia la literatura consagrada, de autor masculino, y que los estudiantes en alto grado se dejan orientar por la selección de los docentes. El estu
