BACKGROUND: Quality of surgical care as a crucial component of a comprehensive multi-disciplinary management improves outcomes in patients with endometrial carcinoma, notably helping to avoid suboptimal surgical treatment. Quality indicators (QIs) enable healthcare professionals to measure their clinical management with regard to ideal standards of care. OBJECTIVE: In order to complete its set of

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) drives many fundamental biogeochemical processes (e.g., carbon storage, nutrient cycling, and soil development) in forest soil. However, the molecular-level characteristics of DOM derived from different types of tropical forest soils are poorly understood. Here, water samples at different soil depths (0, 20, and 40 cm) from tropical legume (Acacia auriculiformis, AA)

While impervious surface expands with global urbanization, understanding the quality and quantity changes of soil organic carbon (SOC) under impervious surfaces is essential to assess the impacts of urbanization on the SOC pool and cycling. By comparing soils under impervious surfaces with surface and subsurface soils from adjoining open areas, we present a systematic study on the SOC signature un

Climate change is predicted to alter global precipitation regimes. However, the response of soil carbon and nitrogen cycles and soil microorganisms to precipitation reduction is poorly understood but is dependent on ecosystem type. To evaluate the impacts of reduced precipitation on soil respiration, soil inorganic nitrogen (i.e., NH4+–N and NO3−–N), nitrogen mineralization, and soil microbial com

OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. There is a well-known comorbidity between COPD and CAD, which is only partly explained by smoking and other known common risk factors. In order to better understand the relationship between COPD and CAD, we analyzed myocardial perfusion, pulmonary function

Objective: To correlate clinical outcomes to pathology in SARS-CoV-2 infected placentas in stillborn and liveborn infants presenting with foetal distress.Design: Retrospective, observational.Setting: Nationwide.Population or sample: Five stillborn and 9 liveborn infants from 13 pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 seeking care at 7 different maternity units in Sweden.Methods: Clinical outcomes

The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposal to create a cavern with the space and infrastructure to support a suite of far-forward experiments at the Large Hadron Collider during the High Luminosity era. Located along the beam collision axis and shielded from the interaction point by at least 100 m of concrete and rock, the FPF will house experiments that will detect particles outside the acc

Protein HC or alpha-1-microglobulin is a human glycoproteinof low molecular weight (25-30,000) present in plasma, urine and cerebrospinal fluid. It also occurs in association with the surface of various human cell types.The protein, containing only one polypeptide chain, is heterogeneous in charge, even when desialylated, has a marked tendency to form complexes with other plasma proteins, e.g., Ig

A new rapid method for immunochemical quantitation - immunocapillarymigration - is presented. It is based upon.....

γ-Trace is a low molecular weight human protein with unknown function, occurring in body fluids. this thesis deals with the determination of the complete amino acid sequenceof human -trace, its localization to neuroendocrine cells and concentration in human body fluids at various ages.γ-Trace was isolated from human urine, and antisera specific for -trace were raisedin rabbits.An enzyme immunoassa

The present investigation concerns clinical, biochemical and genetc studies of human cystatin C and hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) and can be summarized as follows:1) Monoclonal murine antibodies were...

In the present study direct microcalorimetry has been employed to measure heat production of blood plasma and blood cells at basal and activated stages. The energetics of granulocyte activation.....

Blog post on the Agenda 2030 Graduate School blog. In September 2021, the Food Systems Summit is taking place as part of the Decade of Action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. All 17 SDGs rely to some degree on healthier, more sustainable, and equitable food systems. Hopefully the interlinkages of food, land use change and healthy diets will target significant outcomes t

Bloggpost på nutritionsfakta.se.EAT-Lancetkommissionen lanserade 2019 sin ”the great food transformation”, en modell för hälsosamma matvanor för en växande global befolkning som skulle hålla livsmedelssystemet inom planetens gränser.En uppföljande svensk studie har tagit fram ett eget index för att mäta följsamheten till EAT-Lancetkosten, med en poängsättning som gör det möjligt att se hur väl en

The regeneration of salamander limbs has been a special fascination among scientists and keen observers for centuries. Perhaps due to how closely the salamander's limb anatomically mirrors our own, a grand aspiration of regenerative medicine has been to provoke such a process following injury or loss of human limbs. Research in the last century has focused on understanding the blastema, a prolifer

BACKGROUND: Chemo- and radiotherapy (RT) is standard treatment for patients with high-grade glioma, but may cause side-effects on the patient's cognitive function.AIM: Use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate the longitudinal changes in normal-appearing brain tissue in glioblastoma patients undergoing modern arc-based RT with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) or helical tomothera

The potential of bio‐electro‐jet fuel (BEJF) production with integration into an existing biomass‐based combined heat and power (CHP) facility was investigated. The BEJF is produced via Fischer–Tropsch (F–T) synthesis from biogenic CO2 and H2 obtained by water electrolysis. Techno-economic (TEA)‐ and life. cycle (LCA)‐ assessments were performed to evaluate the production cost and environmental im
