An increased use of wood can reduce the environmental footprint of the building sector by being a renewable and ecological material. In order to improve the competitiveness of heavy timber structures, this thesis presents a novel type of timber connection with a high degree of prefabrication, which utilizes a resilient bond line.It has previously been shown that a large conventional stiff adhesive
This chapter describes some of the special neurochemical features of the areas of the brain selectively vulnerable to ischemic and hypoglycemic insults. The chapter focuses on the neuronal connections to the vulnerable brain areas, on the distribution of receptors and transmitter content in the vulnerable areas, and on some current hypothesis of neuronal damage. Emphasis will be placed on a possib
An increased use of wood can reduce the environmental footprint of the building sector. In order to improve the competitiveness of heavy timber structures, the thesis presents a novel type of timber connection with a high degree of prefabrication. The connection includes a resilient bond line, meaning an elastic bond line with low stiffness yet high fracture energy.It has previously been shown tha
Background: Earlier age at menopause has been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but the shape of association and role of established cardiovascular risk factors remain unclear. Therefore, we examined the associations between menopausal characteristics and CHD risk; the shape of the association between age at menopause and CHD risk; and the extent to which these associ
Probiotics are linked to positive regulatory effects on the immune system. The aim of the study was to examine the association between the exposure of probiotics via dietary supplements or via infant formula by the age of 1 year and the development of celiac disease autoimmunity (CDA) and celiac disease among a cohort of 6520 genetically susceptible children. Use of probiotics during the first yea
The gas phase electronic structure of two transition metal alkylamino complexes, M(N(CH3)2)4, where M = Ti, Hf, was studied using photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT). These studies are a first step for predicting atomic layer and chemical vapor deposition reactions on surfaces, which are common applications of these molecules. The valence photoemission spectra of these t
Huntingtons sjukdom (HS) är en ärftlig fortskridande neurodegenerativ sjukdomsom orsakas av en förlängd CAG sekvens i huntingtin (HTT) genen, vilket leder till motoriska och kognitiva symptom samt personlighetsförändringar. Eftersom den muterade genen och proteinet den kodar för finns uttryckt i kroppens alla celler resulterar det i att även organ utanför hjärnan påverkas. En förhöjd ämnesomsättniHuntington´s disease (HD) is a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG triplet repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene and characterized by cognitive and motoric dysfunctions as well as psychiatric problems. Accumulating evidence, however, suggests altered energy metabolism and a hyper-catabolic state as key features of HD pathology. In clinical HD, body weight has been sh
Studien demonstrerar att protrombintid(PT) och aktivitet av K-vitaminberoende koagulationsfaktorer hos kritiskt sjuka patienter med spontanförlängda PT-värden har förstärkts 24 timmar efter Konakion.
BACKGROUND: Drug-related problems due to medication errors are common and have the potential to cause harm. This study, which was conducted in Swedish primary health care, aimed to assess how well the medication lists in the medical records tally with the medications used by patients and to explore what type of medication errors are present. METHODS: We reviewed the electronic medical records (EMR
In contrast with human hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells, plant Hbs do not transport oxygen, instead research points towards nitrogen metabolism. Using comprehensive and integrated biophysical methods we characterized three sugar beet Hbs: BvHb1.1, BvHb1.2 and BvHb2. Their affinities for oxygen, CO, and hexacoordination were determined. Their role in nitrogen metabolism was studied by assessing t
Background: After an esophageal resection, continuity is commonly restored by a gastric tube reconstruction and an intrathoracic anastomosis to the remaining proximal esophagus. Ischemia of the anastomotic region is considered to play a pivotal role in anastomotic leakage. Microdialysis (μD) is an excellent method to measure local biochemical substances and parameters in a specific organ or compar
