The clear cell, chromophobe and papillary carcinoma as well as oncocytoma are the most common renal tumours. While cases of hybrid renal tumours are well known, the true collision renal tumour of oncocytoma and Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma (PRCC) is still rare. Herein, we present a case of a true collision renal tumour of an oncocytoma and a PRCC as well as a review of the literature.

Mjölkpulvrets historia. Tycker du att det låter torrt? Då känner du nog inte till att historien om det till synes menlösa mjölkpulvret kantas av allt från giftmord till miljonbedrägerier, nazistanklagelser – och världens allra första brevbomb.I Pulverpionjärerna presenterar livsmedelsteknikern Andreas Håkansson den oväntat rafflande berättelsen om mjölkpulvrets teknik- och kulturhistoria, från des

Biorefineries have the potential to partially or entirely replace petrochemistry for the production of our daily bulk and fine chemicals. However, this replacement can only be sustainable and cost-effective if the raw material used is cheap, renewable and does not compete with the food and feed industry. One raw material meeting these criteria is lignocellulose from agricultural and forestry waste

In laboratory medicine, much effort has been put into analytical quality in the past decades, making this medical profession one of the most standardized with the lowest rates of error. However, even the best analytical quality cannot compensate for errors or low quality in the pre or postanalytical phase of the total testing process. Guidelines for data reporting focus solely on defined data elem

Recent studies highlight the importance of lipotoxic damage in aortic cells as the major pathogenetic contributor to atherosclerotic disease. Since the STE20-type kinase STK25 has been shown to exacerbate ectopic lipid storage and associated cell injury in several metabolic organs, we here investigate its role in the main cell types of vasculature. We depleted STK25 by small interfering RNA in hum

Avhandlingen närmar sig frågan om hur journalistiska praktiker underlättar konstruktionen av kändisstatus. Teoretiskt uppfattas kändisskap som en särskilt flytande form av social status baserat på medierad uppmärksamhet och engagemang. Journalistik studeras som en invitation att dela upplevelser, organiserade utifrån narrativa strukturer. De empiriska fallen som studeras i avhandlingen är två mångThe thesis approaches the research question of how journalistic practices facilitate the construction of celebrity status. Theoretically, celebrity is conceptualised as a particularly fluid form of social status based on mediatized attention and engagement. Journalism is studied as an invitation to shareexperiences, organised through media logics and narrative structures. The empirical cases studi

In-situ quantification of particle concentration during the combustion of solid fuel powders is of importance for analyzing their combustion behaviors. Digital holography (DH) is applied here for studying iron powder combustion at high concentration. The performance of DH as a function of particle concentration is thoroughly studied with synthetic holograms. The detection efficiency is found to be

Minimal residual disease (MRD) constitutes the most important prognostic factor in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Flow cytometry is widely used in MRD assessment, yet little is known regarding the effect of different immunophenotypic subsets on outcome. In this study of 200 BCP-ALL patients, we found that a CD34-positive, CD38 dim-positive, nTdT dim-positive immunophenoty

Phase field crystal modeling with wavelet filtering is shown to be an attractive replacement for molecular dynamics simulations when evaluating grain boundary stiffness by the capillary fluctuation method. Obstacles such as iterative equilibration of grain boundary structures and repeated reconstruction of the grain boundary over extended simulations can be avoided.

Purpose: This article presents a discussion of how librarians' engagement in certain social movements manifests itself in public libraries, how librarians justify their engagement with specifically the LGBT + movement and the climate movement and what it might entail in terms of legitimacy. Design/methodology/approach: Besides an extensive international literature on libraries and climate/LGBT + i

BACKGROUND: Hyperhomocysteinemia is a factor that predisposes to thrombosis, and the C677T mutation in methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is known to give increased plasma homocysteine. We wanted to investigate if these factors were overrepresented in a group of patients with central retinal vein occlusion.METHODS: 116 patients with a history of central retinal vein occlusion were examin

A variant in prothrombin (clotting factor II), a G to A transition at nucleotide position 20210, has recently been shown to be associated with the prothrombin plasma levels and the risk of both venous and arterial thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of carriership of this mutation in various populations. We combined data from 11 centres in nine countries, where

C4b-binding protein (C4BP) regulates the classical pathway C3-convertase of the complement system. Human C4BP is composed of seven identical subunits (alpha-chains) and one unique one (beta-chain). Both types of chains contain homologous repeats called complement control proteins (CCPs); the alpha-chain contains eight CCPs and the beta-chain three. Each alpha-chain contains a binding site for C4b

This research explores socio-technical perspectives of the demand-side management strategy of using the built environment for short term thermal energy storage. Here conceptualised as a niche innovation within the Danish socio-technical district heating landscapes, the research explores potentials and limitations of this building energy flexibility strategy from the perspective of district heating

Anaerobic digestate based on food waste is increasingly used as fertilizer in food production. This study examined the characteristics of anaerobic digestate based on food waste from three biogas plants in Sweden. The characterization included measurements of heavy metals (n = 7), chemicals of emerging concern (CECs), such as currently used drugs and pesticides (n = 133), and an extended range of
