Vitamin K Effects on Gas6 and Soluble Axl Receptors in Intensive Care Patients : An Observational Screening Study

Growth arrest-specific gene 6 protein (Gas6) is avitamin K-dependent tissue bound protein. Gas6 has been shown to promote growth and therapy resistance among different types of cancer as well as thromboembolism. The aim of this prospective screening study: ClinicalTrials.gov; Identifier: NTC3782025, was to evaluate the effects of intravenously administered vitamin K1 on Gas6 and its soluble (s)Axl

Process for manufacture of a dendritic polyether

A process for manufacture of a dendritic polyether comprising a core, derived from a compound having two or more hydroxyl groups, and at least one branching generation being built up from at least one hydroxyoxetane having one oxetane group and at least one hydroxyl group is disclosed. The process comprises ring opening addition to said core and ring opening polymerisation of said hydroxyoxetane.

A pluralist approach to epistemic dilemmas in event attribution science

In recent years, a dispute has arisen within detection and attribution science concerning the appropriate methodology for associating individual weather events with anthropogenic cli- mate change. In recent contributions, it has been highlighted that this conflict is seemingly misconstrued even by those participating in it and actually concerns a mixture of first and second order so-called inductiIn recent years, a dispute has arisen within detection and attribution science concerning the appropriate methodology for associating individual weather events with anthropogenic climate change. In recent contributions, it has been highlighted that this conflict is seemingly misconstrued even by those participating in it and actually concerns a mixture of first and second order so-called inductive

Neural correlates of episodic memory buildup in naturalistic viewing behavior

In everyday life, we bind visual samples of the world into a coherent episodic memory via eye movements. Previous eye tracking research revealed that visual scrutiny, gaze transitions between event elements, and refixations during encoding predict successful memory formation. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms of these processes. Here, we combine EEG and eye tracking to investiga

Uniaxial hydroxyapatite growth on a self‐assembled protein scaffold

Biomineralization is a crucial process whereby organisms produce mineralized tissues such as teeth for mastication, bones for support, and shells for protection. Mineralized tissues are composed of hierarchically organized hydroxyapatite crystals, with a limited capacity to regenerate when demineralized or damaged past a critical size. Thus, the development of protein‐based materials that act as a

Intragenic allelic loss and promoter hypermethylation of the RIZ1 tumor suppressor gene in parathyroid tumors and pheochromocytomas

BACKGROUND: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome 1p is a common abnormality in both parathyroid tumors and pheochromocytomas. The recently characterized tumor suppressor gene RIZ1, located at 1p36, has emerged as a putative candidate to be involved in endocrine tumorigenesis.MATERIAL: Presence of allelic loss, promoter hypermethylation, and mutational aberrations of the RIZ1 gene were invest

C9orf72, age at onset, and ancestry help discriminate behavioral from language variants in FTLD cohorts

Objective We sought to characterize C9orf72 expansions in relation to genetic ancestry and age at onset (AAO) and to use these measures to discriminate the behavioral from the language variant syndrome in a large pan-European cohort of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) cases. Methods We evaluated expansions frequency in the entire cohort (n = 1,396; behavioral variant frontotemporal dementi

The immune landscape of colorectal cancer

While the clinical importance of CD8+ and CD3+ cells in colorectal cancer (CRC) is well established, the impact of other immune cell subsets is less well described. We sought to provide a detailed overview of the immune landscape of CRC in the largest study to date in terms of patient numbers and in situ analyzed immune cell types. Tissue microarrays from 536 patients were stained using multiplexe

Investigation of hydrogen content and dilution effect on syngas/air premixed turbulent flame using OH planar laser-induced fluorescence

Syngas produced by gasification, which contains a high hydrogen content, has significant potential. The variation in the hydrogen content and dilution combustion are effective means to improve the steady combustion of syngas and reduce NOx emissions. OH planar laser-induced fluorescence technology (OH-PLIF) was applied in the present investigation of the turbulence of a premixed flame of syngas wi

A three Higgs doublet model with symmetry-suppressed flavour changing neutral currents

We construct a three-Higgs doublet model with a flavour non-universal U(1) × ℤ2 symmetry. That symmetry induces suppressed flavour-changing interactions mediated by neutral scalars. New scalars with masses below the TeV scale can still successfully negotiate the constraints arising from flavour data. Such a model can thus encourage direct searches for extra Higgs bosons in the future collider expe

Psychiatric Comorbidity and Economic Hardship as Risk Factors for Intentional Self-Harm in Gambling Disorder—A Nationwide Register Study

Background: There is an increased risk of suicidality in gambling disorder (GD) and economic hardship is common in the population. Economic hardship itself is a risk factor for suicidality. This study aims to explore the risk of intentional self-harm in GD utilizing social welfare payment (SWP) as a proxy for economic hardship and exploring how economic hardship, gender, criminality, socioeconomic

Plasma neurofilament light chain protein is not increased in treatment-resistant schizophrenia and first-degree relatives

Objective: Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, is often associated with cognitive, neurological and neuroim- aging abnormalities. The processes underlying these abnormalities, and whether a subset of people with schizophrenia have a neuroprogressive or neurodegenerative component to schizophrenia, remain largely unknown. Examining fluid biomarkers of diverse types of neuronal damage cou

Att göra socialt arbete med dokument

Dokument har en central roll i det sociala arbetets vardag. När ord och siffror skrivs ner och därmed materialiseras går de att hänvisa till, inte bara för sitt innehåll utan också som dokument med en auktoritet i sin egen rätt. Socialarbetaren skapar mening genom att arbetsvardagen regisseras utifrån dokumenten.

On Fundamental Limitations of Dynamic Feedback Control in Regular Large-Scale Networks

In this paper, we study fundamental performance limitations of distributed feedback control in large-scale networked dynamical systems. Specifically, we address the question of whether dynamic feedback controllers perform better than static (memoryless) ones when subject to locality constraints. We consider distributed linear consensus and vehicular formation control problems modeled over toric la

Structural optimisation of diffusion driven degradation processes

In this article, we propose an optimisation framework that can contribute to the prevention of premature failure or damage to building structures and can thereby strengthen their longevity. We concentrate on structures that are contaminated by chemical substances and that have strong destructive effects on the material. The aim of this contribution is a mathematical algorithm that allows the optim

Short-term outcomes following beyond total mesorectal excision and reconstruction using myocutaneous flaps : A retrospective cohort study

Introduction: Beyond total mesorectal excision (bTME) offers long-term survival in patients with advanced pelvic malignancy. At Skåne University Hospital (SUS) Malmö in Sweden, the vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (VRAM) and gluteal maximus (GM) flap have been used for perineal reconstruction to promote healing and functional outcomes after significant tissue loss. This study aims to exa
