OBJECTIVE:: To assess the prognostic value of continuous amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram in comatose survivors after cardiac arrest and treated with hypothermia. DESIGN:: Prospective observational study. SETTING:: General intensive care unit at a university hospital. PATIENTS:: Comatose patients after cardiac arrest and treated with hypothermia. INTERVENTIONS:: Patients were sedated and

En undersökning av de språkligt motiverade bearbetningarna som gjorts av psalmer från 1695 års svenska psalmbok inför de tre nya psalmboksutgåvor som följt därefter. Undersökningen avser de omkring 100 1695-psalmer som finns med i alla dessa tre senare psalmböcker och sönderfaller i morfologiska, lexikala, syntaktiska och textuella bearbetningsinsatser.

The pathways of melt water from a subdrained agricultural basin in southern Finland were investigated using oxygen-18 as tracer and measuring subdrainage water and total basin runoff. The flow paths for the melt water to reach the subdrains were through cracks in the ploughed layer and through regular spaced vertical sand-gravel drains. As long as the top soil was frozen a major part of the water

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan människan lyckades skapa eld har förbränning utgjort den viktigaste energikällan i mänsklighetens långa historia, viket den ser ut att fortsätta vara det inom en överskådlig framtid. I dagsläget kommer mer än 90% av vår energi från förbränningsprocesser. Dock uppstår en rad problem kring förbränning, såsom föroreningar och möjligheten till använda sig av förnyelseNowadays, more than 90% of our energy comes from combustion processes. Hence, it is very important to perform combustion research to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, find clean and renewable fuels, strengthen safety, etc. The complexity of combustion processes asks for advanced diagnostic tools, among which the laser spectroscopy has been proved to be a powerful one. This thesis is about the

To evaluate if the creation of laser generated in situ fenestrations in polyester/Dacron stent grafts causes embolization.

Co-band multi-antenna implementation in realistic compact user terminals is of great interest to the wireless telecom industry for achieving high data rates. This licentiate thesis focuses on the mechanisms behind the implementation of multiple antennas for diversity and MIMO gains in everyday user terminals. Specifically, the effects of compactness, user interaction and propagation channel on the

OBJECTIVES: /st> To investigate the association between meniscal pathology and incident or enlarging bone marrow lesions (BML) in knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: /st> The authors studied subjects from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study aged 50-79 years either with knee osteoarthritis or at high risk of the disease. Baseline and 30-months magnetic resonance images of knees (n=1344) were scored for

BACKGROUND: Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and tuberculosis (TB) primarily affect the lungs and are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. COPD and TB have common risk factors such as smoking, low socioeconomic status and dysregulation of host defence functions. COPD is a prevalent co-morbid condition, especially in elderly with TB but in contrast to other diseases k

An experiment in coherent harmonic generation has been performed at the MAX-lab electron storage ring in Lund. Coherent photons were produced in the third harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser focused on the electron beam in a permanent magnet undulator. The number of coherent photons, the linewidth, the current dependence and other parameters have been measured.

Observational studies show an association between ferritin and type 2 diabetes (T2D), suggesting a role of high iron stores in T2D development. However, ferritin is influenced by factors other than iron stores, which is less the case for other biomarkers of iron metabolism. We investigate associations of ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), serum iron, and transferrin with T2D incidence to cla

Objective: To identify factors, individual and work related, influencing work ability, and to assess the association between work ability and employment status, activities of daily life (ADLs) and quality of life in patients with SSc. Methods: Fifty-seven consecutive patients (53 females/4 males) with SSc (47 lcSSc/10 dcSSc) were included. Median age was 58 [interquartile range (IQR) 47-62] year
