The Value of Induction Chemotherapy for Survival in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Radiotherapy
Aim: The aim of the present study was to retrospectively investigate the impact of induction chemotherapy on treatment outcome in patients treated with curatively intended radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients and Methods: Patients with a diagnosed NSCLC that have been subjected to curatively intended irradiation (>= 50 Gy) and treated in an oncology department in Sweden du

Composition and starch digestibility of whole grain bars containing maize or unripe banana flours
The development of functional foods with low glycemic index and high levels of RS are of importance in the fight against the rapidly increasing rates of obesity and chronic diseases in modern societies. In this work, three cereal bars containing white maize, blue maize, or unripe banana flours were prepared. The proximal composition, in vitro starch digestibility and product acceptability were eva
Smoking and body mass index as risk factors for subtypes of cancer of unknown primary.
Lymph-borne CD8α(+) dendritic cells are uniquely able to cross-prime CD8(+) T cells with antigen acquired from intestinal epithelial cells.
Cross-presentation of cellular antigens is crucial for priming CD8(+) T cells, and generating immunity to intracellular pathogens-particularly viruses. It is unclear which intestinal phagocytes perform this function in vivo. To address this, we examined dendritic cells (DCs) from the intestinal lymph of IFABP-tOVA 232-4 mice, which express ovalbumin in small intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Amo
Decolonializing discourse: Critical reflections on organizational discourse analysis
Organizational discourse has emerged as a large research field and references to discourse are numerous. As with all dominating approaches problematizations of assumptions are important. This article, partly a follow up of the authors' frequently cited 2000 Human Relations article, provides a critical and perhaps provocative overview of some of the more recent work and tendencies within the field.
A Potential Soot Mass Determination Method from Resistivity Measurement of Thermophoretically Deposited Soot
Miniaturized detection systems for nanometer-sized airborne particles are in demand, for example in applications for onboard diagnostics downstream particulate filters in modern diesel engines. A soot sensor based on resistivity measurements was developed and characterized. This involved generation of soot particles using a quenched co-flow diffusion flame; depositing the particles onto a sensor s
Modeling for transboundary water resources planning and allocation: the case of Southern Africa
International water resources agreements for transboundary rivers in southern Africa are generally founded in system analysis models for water planning and allocation. The Water Resources Yield Model (WRYM) developed in South Africa has so far been the only model applied in official joint water resources studies aimed to form water-sharing agreements. The continuous discussion around the model per
Generalized ischaemia in type A aortic dissections predicts early surgical outcomes only.
In patients with acute type A aortic dissection (aTAAD), early post-surgical outcomes are largely influenced by preoperative conditions, specifically localized or generalized ischaemia. Such states are reflected in the recent Penn classification. Our aim was to determine the impact of preoperative ischaemia (by Penn class) on in-hospital and long-term mortality.
Time to establishment success for introduced signal crayfish in Sweden - a statistical evaluation when success is partially known
The signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus is an invasive species in Sweden, threatening the red-listed nobel crayfish Astacus astacus through spreading the crayfish plague. Time-to-event models can handle censored data on such introduced populations for which the state (successful or not) is only partially known at the last observation, but even though data on introduced populations most often
Measurement of the W boson polarization in top quark decays with the ATLAS detector
This paper presents measurements of the polarization of W bosons in top quark decays, derived from t (t) over bar events with missing transverse momentum, one charged lepton and at least four jets, or two charged leptons and at least two jets. Data from pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV were collected with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity o
Reaction behavior and evolution of phases during the sintering of Ta–Al powder mixtures
Intermetallic compounds based on tantalum aluminides are of considerable interest in various industrial applications. In this work, the formation of tantalum aluminides has been studied in elemental powder mixtures containing 25, 50 and 66.7 at% Ta. A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to heat the samples up to 1500 K at 15 K min−1. Phase evolution was studied by heating a few sample
Source apportionment of the carbonaceous aerosol in Norway - quantitative estimates based on C-14, thermal-optical and organic tracer analysis
In the present study, source apportionment of the ambient summer and winter time particulate carbonaceous matter (PCM) in aerosol particles (PM1 and PM10) has been conducted for the Norwegian urban and rural background environment. Statistical treatment of data from thermal-optical, C-14 and organic tracer analysis using Latin Hypercube Sampling has allowed for quantitative estimates of seven diff
In Vitro Selection of RNA Aptamers Directed Against Protein E: A Haemophilus influenzae Adhesin. : a Haemophilus influenzae adhesin
Protein E (PE) of Haemophilus influenzae is a highly conserved ubiquitous surface protein involved in adhesion to and activation of epithelial cells. The host proteins-vitronectin, laminin, and plasminogen are major targets for PE-dependent interactions with the host. To identify novel inhibitory molecules of PE, we used an in vitro selection method based on systematic evolution of ligands by expo
Competitive adsorption involving phosphate and benzenecarboxylic acids on goethite-Effects of molecular structures
The competitive adsorption between phosphate and either one of seven benzenecarboxylates (benzoate, phthalate, trimellitate, trimesoate, hemimellitate, pyromellitate, and mellitate) on the surfaces of fine-particulate goethite (alpha-FeOOH) was investigated as a function of pH. The series of ligands contained Molecules with an increasing number of functional groups as well as three structural isom
Comorbidity and health-related quality of life in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attending Swedish secondary care units
Introduction: Our understanding of how comorbid diseases influence health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is limited and in need of improvement. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between comorbidities and HRQL as measured by the instruments EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). Methods: Infor
Long-Term Cognitive Sequelae After Pediatric Brain Tumor Related to Medical Risk Factors, Age, and Sex
BACKGROUND: Young age at diagnosis and treatment with cranial radiation therapy are well studied risk factors for cognitive impairment in pediatric brain tumor survivors. Other risk factors are hydrocephalus, surgery complications, and treatment with intrathecal chemotherapy. Female gender vulnerability to cognitive sequelae after cancer treatment has been evident in some studies, but no earlier s
Protein kinase A (PKA) pathway is functionally linked to androgen receptor (AR) in the progression of prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we investigated whether the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-activated protein kinase A (PKA) pathway may regulate the expression of AR and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and whether there is a correlation between the expression of cAMP/PKA-associated genes and androgen receptors (ARs) in patients with prostate cancer (CaP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The functi
Measurements of occupancy levels in multi-family dwellings-Application to demand controlled ventilation
The occupancy level of dwellings is an important parameter to know to determine the energy efficiency, energy use and indoor air quality, especially in low-energy buildings where the user-related energy uses, such as household electricity and domestic hot water heating, are significant parts of the energy balance in a building. For residential buildings, there is a lack of occupancy level data, wh
