Allelic variants of streptokinase from Streptococcus pyogenes display functional differences in plasminogen activation.

A common mammalian defense mechanism employed to prevent systemic dissemination of invasive bacteria involves occlusion of local microvasculature and encapsulation of bacteria within fibrin networks. Acquisition of plasmin activity at the bacterial cell surface circumvents this defense mechanism, allowing invasive disease initiation. To facilitate this process, S. pyogenes secretes streptokinase,

Utility of Intra-operative Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Endovascular Treatment of Aorto-iliac Occlusive Disease.

Endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AIOD) is well established, but to maintain long-term patency, secondary interventions are common. Multiple stents and iliac artery tortuosity often make it difficult to evaluate stent compression intra-operatively and this might be a cause for later failure. Completion angiography (CA) and pressure gradient (PG) measurement are often used to

Efficient Compression and Rasterization Algorithms for Graphics Hardware

Despite rapid development, modern graphics hardware is still much too slow to render photo-realistic images in real time, and it will most likely remain so if we rely only on yearly growth in hardware performance. Therefore, better algorithms are constantly needed in order to advance the field. In the first part of this thesis, we present new algorithms for hardware rasterization. We investigate

Gränsens ikonografi: En studie av kalkmålade bilder vid kyrkorummens trösklar och gränser

Abstract in UndeterminedThe present text deals with the iconography of the borders of sacred space, focusing on late medieval mural paintings in parish churches in Scania as a part of medieval Denmark. The images unite with the architectural space, the worshippers and their ritual actions in creating and defining sacred space. The key concept is spatial liminality, the crossing of borders in a rit

Two Different Surgical Approaches in the Treatment of Adenocarcinoma at the Gastroesophageal Junction.

BACKGROUND: Adenocarcinoma at the gastroesophageal junction may be regarded as of esophageal or of gastric origin, and tumor removal may follow the principles of esophagectomy or extended gastrectomy. We determined the impact of this strategy on our patients with tumors at this site. METHODS: Baseline patient and tumor characteristics were collected, and tumors were categorized according to Siewer
