BACKGROUND: Increasing life expectancy for people with an intellectual disability (ID) is resulting in more persons with cancer and a greater need for end-of-life (EoL) care. There is a need for knowledge of health care utilisation over the last year of life to plan for resources that support a high quality of care for cancer patients with ID. Therefore, the aims of the study were to compare (1) h

BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disability (ID) face considerable barriers to accessing psychiatric health care, thus there is a risk for health disparity. The aims of the present study were 1) to compare specialist psychiatric health care utilization among older people with ID to that with their age peers in the general population, taking into account demographic factors and co-morbidities a

This study explores the experiences and reflections of staff in intellectual disability (ID) services concerning ageing with ID. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 staff members in group homes and daily activity centres. The findings showed that the staff were uncertain about the signs of ageing in people with intellectual disabilities; they compared the life conditions of these people

Since the 19th century, urban lawns have gradually taken center stage to become one of the main sources of greening in many cities around the world. The current published research on planting technology, maintenance techniques, the impact of lawn maintenance, preferences for manicured lawns and the biodiversity protection for historical lawns as topics, has developed and increased over time.

Specific binding of aldosterone by crude membrane fraction, the affinity and maximal concentration of cytosolic receptors of aldosterone were studied in the kidney cortex of the Wistar rats as well as the plasma level and adrenal biosynthesis of aldosterone. The specific binding of aldosterone was found to increase in membrane fraction and to decrease in cytosol during kidney maturation. The affin

The effect of aldosterone on the cAMP level, the state of inositol-phosphate pool and the intracellular free Ca2+ activity in the rat kidney, were studied. The cAMP level in the kidney cortex homogenate was not changed after i.p. injection of aldosterone. Reliable changes in the content of inositol-phosphates in the kidney cell suspension was not revealed after aldosterone treatment. A short-term

The aldosterone binding in isolated distal convoluted and cortical collecting tubules of renal nephrons and the influence of hormonal induction on the Na, K-ATPase activity in membrane fraction of kidney cortex were studied in 10-day- and 2-month-old rats. No reliable difference in aldosterone-specific binding was revealed (0.26 +/- 0.04 and 0.22 +/- 0.03 fmol/mm of tubule length, respectively, at

Effects of aldosterone and vasopressin on the intracellular Ca2+ activity in the isolated cortical collecting tubules were studied. Both aldosterone and vasopressin were shown to evoke a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+, the response amplitude being not reduced in the presence of the other hormones. As vasopressin via its membrane receptors, aldosterone is suggested to activate the system

The lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) enzymes boost polysaccharide depolymerization through oxidative chemistry, which has fueled the hope for more energy-efficient production of biofuel. We have recently proposed a mechanism for the oxidation of the polysaccharide substrate (E. D. Hedegård and U. Ryde, Chem. Sci., 2018, 9, 3866-3880). In this mechanism, intermediates with superoxide, oxyl

In this work, the new ANO-R basis set for all elements of the first six periods is introduced. The ANO-R basis set is an all-electron basis set that was constructed including scalar-relativistic effects of the exact-two component (X2C) Hamiltonian and modeling the atomic nucleus by a Gaussian charge distribution, which makes the basis set suitable for calculations of both light and heavy elements.

INTRODUCTION: Falls in older aged adults are an important public health problem. Insight into differences in fall-related injury rates between countries can serve as important input for identifying and evaluating prevention strategies. The objectives of this study were to compare Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 estimates on incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to

Mergers of neutron stars (NS) and white dwarfs (WD) may give rise to observable explosive transientevents. We use 3D hydrodynamical (SPH) simulations, as well as 2D hydrodynamical-thermonuclearsimulations (using the FLASH AMR code) to model the disruption of CO-WDs by NSs, whichproduce faint transient events. We post-process the simulations using a large nuclear network andmake use of the SuperNu
