pSTAT3 Expression is Increased in Advanced Prostate Cancer in Post-Initiation of Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Background: The transcription factor Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) plays a role in carcinogenesis and is involved in processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, drug resistance and immunosuppression. STAT3 can be activated by phosphorylation of tyrosine at position 705 (pSTAT3Tyr705) or serine at 727 (pSTAT3Ser727). High expression levels of pSTAT3 are implicate

ISHLT consensus statement on the perioperative use of ECLS in lung transplantation : Part II: Intraoperative considerations

The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) throughout the perioperative phase of lung transplantation requires nuanced planning and execution by an integrated team of multidisciplinary experts. To date, no multidisciplinary consensus document has examined the perioperative considerations of how to best manage these patients. To address this challenge, this perioperative utilization of ECLS in l

Fire safety distances for electric vehicles with damaged battery pack

The increase in electric vehicles has led to more vehicles of this kind being involved in accidents. Since there is a risk of a delayed initiation of thermal runaway in these cases, many countries have recommendations for safety distances from crashed vehicles to buildings. This report is a part of the effort to develop similar guidance for Sweden, which was initiated by the Swedish Civil ContingeThe increase in electric vehicles has led to more vehicles of this kind being involved in accidents.

Survival in patients with CKD 3-5 after 12 months of exercise training - a post-hoc analysis of the RENEXC trial

BACKGROUND: Physical performance is low and physical activity declines in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Both factors are associated with decreased survival. Our hypothesis was that improved physical performance after 12 months of exercise training would result in better survival in patients with CKD stages 3 to 5 not on kidney replacement therapy (KRT). Our aims in this study were to i

A Population-Based Multigenerational Family Coaggregation Study of Severe Infections and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Background: Postinfectious autoimmune processes have been proposed as potential causal risk factors for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In this large population-based study, we aimed to clarify the familial coaggregation pattern between severe infections and OCD across clusters of relatives with varying degrees of relatedness. Methods: We identified 4,916,898 individuals born in Sweden betwee

Robust multitaper reassignment vectors for enhanced time-frequency representation

Time-frequency reassignment, commonly used to analyze time-varying signals, is a post-processing method that sharpens time-frequency representations. However, the reassignment method is sensitive to noise, making it unsuitable for time-frequency analysis when the signal-to-noise ratio is low. To increase the robustness of the reassignment technique, we develop a novel reassigned multitaper spectro

Towards conceptualising refugee entrepreneur/ship

Refugee entrepreneurship emerged as a distinct area of inquiry, delving into the complex relationship between experiences of conflict, forced displacement, and entrepreneurial behaviour. However, an inconsistent and fragmented literature that lacks a unified understanding hinders this emerging stream. To tackle this issue, this chapter engages in a scholarly endeavour to conceptualise refugee entr

Photo-supported conversations about well-being (BeWellTM) for patients with exhaustion disorders–a controlled clinical intervention study

Introduction: Health-promotion approaches to address stress-related exhaustion disorders, reduce personal suffering, improve coping and participation in everyday life are needed in primary care. The aim of this study was to investigate self-reported health and well-being before and after an intervention focusing on well-being with photo-supported conversations (BeWellTM). Material and methods: Eig

Association between distal radius fracture malunion and patient-reported disability : a systematic review and meta-analysis

• Purpose: To assess whether distal radius fracture (DRF) malunion is associated with greater patient-reported disability. • Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases up to 21 May 2023. Two reviewers independently screened retrieved titles/abstracts and assessed the full text of potentially eligible articles to identify cohort studies and randomized controlled trials reporting ou

Jes Wienberg gick i pension våren 2025 efter att under många år ha varit knuten till institutionen för arkeologi och antikens historia vid Lunds universitet. I den här boken adresserar trettionio författare lika många ämnen och forskningsproblem, varav många anknyter till de område som alltid varit i fokus för Jes intresse, det kyrkliga kulturarvet i vid mening. Men här finns även artiklar om kast

Artificial intelligence for direct-to-physician reporting of ambulatory electrocardiography

Developments in ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) technology have led to vast amounts of ECG data that currently need to be interpreted by human technicians. Here we tested an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for direct-to-physician reporting of ambulatory ECGs. Beat-by-beat annotation of 14,606 individual ambulatory ECG recordings (mean duration = 14 ± 10 days) was performed by certified E

Exploring the thermodynamic and kinetic landscape of amyloid fibril formation

Misfolding, self-assembly, and subsequent deposition of amyloid β plaques and tau tangles are closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its neurodegenerative processes, driving healthy neurons into a diseased state. At present, AD is the most widespread form of dementia, causing profound personal and familial hardship as well as imposing a substantial societal economic burden.Currently,The purpose of the work that forms the basis of this thesis has been to investigate fundamental properties of amyloid β and tau self-assembly and their solubility. The results of this research are presented as five research articles. In Paper I, a solubility assay for determining the solubility of amyloid proteins is developed and its use demonstrated for the Aβ40 peptide. Paper II finds that tau

The COSC-2 drill core and its well-preserved lower Palaeozoic sedimentary succession – an unexpected treasure beneath the Caledonian nappes

The Collisional Orogeny in the Scandinavian Caledonides (COSC) project focuses on processes related to the closure of the Iapetus Ocean, causing the Ordovician–Silurian continent– continent collision between Baltica and Laurentia. The rock succession in the second drill core (COSC-2) from the Jämtland County, central Sweden, provides the base for detailed sedimentological, stratigraphic, geophysic

Choroid plexus extracellular vesicle transport of blood-borne insulin-like growth factor 1 to the hippocampus of the immature brain

Reduced serum level of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a major regulator of perinatal development, in extremely preterm infants has been shown to be associated with neurodevelopmental impairment. To clarify the mechanism of IGF-1 transport at the blood–cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier of the immature brain, we combined studies of in vivo preterm piglet and rabbit models with an in vitro tra
