The four major satellites of Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons, and Saturn's most massive satellite, Titan, are believed to have formed in a predominantly gaseous circum-planetary disk during the last stages of formation of their parent planet. Pebbles from the protoplanetary disk are blocked from flowing into the circumplanetary disk by the positive pressure gradient at the outer edge of the p

Since 1986 psychiatrists and social workers of the Lund Suicide Research Center have investigated subjects admitted to the medical intensive care unit after a suicide attempt. Fifty‐nine of 79 deliberate self‐poisoners were interviewed 12 months after a suicide attempt. Twenty‐one had previously been interviewed 6 months after the index suicide attempt. We obtained minor information on 8 subjects.

Cigarette smoking is one of the most important health concerns worldwide. Even though the rate of smoking is declining in developed countries, it is still experiencing growth in developing regions. Many studies have examined the relationship between smoking, as an established risk factor, and cardiovascular diseases. We provide an updated review of the underlying mechanisms of smokinginduced cardi

Seventy‐nine patients admitted to the Lund Intensive Care Unit after deliberate self‐poisoning were investigated by a psychiatrist and a social worker by means of a semi structured interview. Suicide risk evaluation included statistical risk factors according to the SAD PERSONS Scale, severity of suicidal intent according to the Suicidal Intent Scale, and interviewer reaction according to Motto. T

This paper reports on the quantitative 2D and 3D droplet sizing based on the LIF/Mie ratio in ethanol DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) sprays, where the required calibration is performed using quantitative micro and macro LIF/Mie ratio imaging of individual microdroplets. The droplets are generated from a monodisperse droplet generator in a diameter range from 16 µm to 60 µm. First, the liqu

Background: Incidental perforation in rectal cancer surgery is considered a risk factor for poorer oncological outcome. Most studies emanate from the era before total mesorectal excision when staging, neoadjuvant treatment and surgical technique were suboptimal. This study assessed the impact of incidental perforation on oncological outcome in a cohort of patients with optimized management. Method

Statins, commonly used to treat hypercholesterolemia, have also been proposed as anti-cancer agents. The identification of a predictive marker is essential. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A reductase (HMGCR), which is inhibited by statins, might serve as such a marker. Thorough antibody validation was performed for four different HMGCR antibodies. Tumor expression of HMGCR (#AMAb90619, CL

Objectives. To investigate metabolic features that may predispose to GCA in a nested case-control study. Methods. Individuals who developed GCA after inclusion in a population-based health survey (the Malmö Preventive Medicine Project; N ¼ 33 346) were identified and validated through a structured review of medical records. Four controls for every validated case were selected from the database. Re

In a 2‐year outpatient treatment programme for alcoholics, 90% of the patients used aversive drugs during some part of the treatment period. Long‐term use was significantly related to a favourable drinking outcome during 2 years subsequent to treatment compared with short‐term use. Long‐term and short‐term users did not differ in background data. Continued use of aversive drugs after the first 6 m

Women with lower levels of serum selenium (Se) may have a worse survival in breast cancer than women with higher levels, despite no difference in incidence of the disease. Our study was conducted to test whether Se is associated with the aggressiveness of breast tumors. Both the risk of having a tumor characteristic associated with worse prognosis, as well as the overall and breast cancer-specific

Abstract— The process of improvement was studied in a 2‐year out‐patient programme for alcoholics. The drop‐out rate was 16%. The analysis was based on recurrent evaluations of treatment contracts including both drinking pattern and psycho‐social treatment objectives. Background data were related to the alcohol adjustment during the first but not during the second year of treatment. Subjects with

Genetic variation is the fuel of evolution, with standing genetic variation especially important for short-term evolution and local adaptation. To date, studies of spatiotemporal patterns of genetic variation in natural populations have been challenging, as comprehensive sampling is logistically difficult, and sequencing of entire populations costly. Here, we address these issues using a collabora

Results on the effectiveness of psychosocial treatments for patients with comorbid psychiatric and substance use disorders (dual disorders) will be discussed based on relevant meta-analyses and comprehensive reviews. Findings pertaining to severe (e.g., schizophrenia) and mild to moderate (e.g., anxiety disorders) dual disorders will be presented. The heterogeneity in patient characteristics, trea

Background: The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting response has varied globally. The European and African Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (E-AHPBA), the premier representative body for practicing HPB surgeons in Europe and Africa, conducted this survey to assess the impact of COVID-19 on HPB surgery. Methods: An online survey was disseminated to all E-AHPBA members to assess th

Det luriga, lilla ordet "lige" i danska.Der er et lillebitte (pyttelitet) ord i dansk, der giver mange af mine svenske studerende dybe panderynker, når de møder det på mine danskkurser ved Lunds universitet. Flere af dem har egentligt hørt ordet flere gange før, men har ikke helt kunnet knække koden.Ordet er ikke alene drilsk (lurigt), men til tider decideret farligt at have med at gøre, fordi det
