An ultrasonic technique to avoid errors in the diagnoses of acute testicular torsion is described. The presence or absence of intratesticular arterial pulsation was recorded and analysed. The technique may reduce diagnostic failures and the number of scrotal explorations of nontorquered testis.

The use of wood as construction material in multi-story buildings increased in Europe during the last decades. Wood buildings are more sensitive to dynamic loading compared to conventional concrete buildings, especially in terms of vibroacoustic comfort. Furthermore, it is more difficult to predict the accurate response due to dynamic loading for wood buildings. This is due to factors such as a co

INTRODUCTION: Despite favourable results from structured face-to-face treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in Sweden through the Better management of patients with OsteoArthritis (BOA) initiative, only around 20% of people with knee or hip OA receive the primary treatment recommended by international guidelines (ie, information, exercise, weight management). In 2014, a digital treatment programme name

I ”En allians av något slag” ger Mikael Hermansson ny kunskap om den sällan skildrade relationen mellan Svenska kyrkan och Church of England, och erbjuder nya perspektiv på det stora, svenska skiftet under 1900-talet – från en tysk kultursfär till en anglosaxisk.Redan vid slutet av 1800-talet visade Church of England ett gryende intresse för Svenska kyrkan. De ville upprätta ”en allians av något sWith a certain definition of ”networks”, “trust” and “change” this thesis makes new inroads into the historiography of bilateral church relations. Applied to the ambitions of establishing a deeper connection between the Church of Sweden and the Church of England, it’s aim is to show how a social network of leaders – mostly bishops and priests – from both churches came to be the formative centre of

Bile acids (BAs) are known to be involved in cholesterol metabolism but interactions between the diet, BA profiles, gut microbiota and lipid metabolism have not been extensively explored. In the present study, primary and secondary BAs including their glycine and taurine-conjugated forms were quantified in serum of Apoe−/− mice by protein precipitation followed by reversed phase ultra-high-perform

The study intention is to understand the nature of digital publishing for childrenin Sweden and showed, among other things, that digital publishing to a large extentis reproductions of print books. The paper argues that results of the case studycan be explained by long-time structures in publishing of print books for childrenbut also that there are barrier breakers.In order to map digital book pub

Varying processing conditions can strongly affect the microstructure of mayonnaise, opening up new applications for the creation of products tailored to meet different consumer preferences. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of emulsification intensity on sensory and instrumental characteristics of full-fat mayonnaise. Mayonnaise, based on a standard recipe, was processed at low and h

That export-led industry sets the wage norm for the whole economy, acting as the “wage leader”, is a celebrated part of the Swedish wage bargaining and labour market model. Export- led wage leadership is assumed to lead to controlled, non-inflationary wage increases, as wages are set with international competition in mind. This paper maps the origins of this export industry wage leadership model,

Background: Less than half of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) respond to their first antidepressant trial. Our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) remains poor, and there is no reliable method of predicting treatment response. Methods: Thirty-seven MDD subjects and 41 healthy controls, somatically healthy and medication-free f
