Alcohol production by magnetic immobilized yeast

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was immobilized in calcium alginate gel together with varying concentrations of iron oxide, in the form of magnetite or a colloidal ferrite suspension, Ferrofluid™. Inclusion of magnetic material apparently had no adverse effect on the yeast cells as judged from their fermentation capacity, their operational stability as well as their ability to propagatein situ in the pre

Affinity Precipitation of Enzymes

This paper describes the preparation of a bifunctional NAD compound (Bis-NAD) and its properties as a complexing/precipitating agent for the tetrameric enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).

Universal design : visualising diversity, two low hanging fruits

To plan, design and build with diversity in mind is a complex process. While goals such as inclusion, participation and social sustainability may be present in the vision for a future product, service or environment, studies show that the initial vision isn’t always realized in the end result. There are still far too many products, services and environments that are hard to access or use for parts

The reading practices of people with neuropsychiatric disabilities : A review of library and information science literature

Introduction. The ability to read and interpret different types of text can be significantly impacted by neuropsychiatric disabilities, which affect cognitive abilities. This paper explores and reviews previous studies within library and information science on neuropsychiatric disabilities in relation to reading practices. Method. Searches were performed in LISA and LISTA to identify research on rIntroduction.

Steroid transformation by activated living immobilized Arthrobacter simplex cells

A preparation of living Arthrobacter simplex cells immobilized in polyacrylamide gel, which showed steroid-Δ1-dehydrogenase activity, was studied. The entrapped microorganisms catalyzed the transformation of cortisol to prednisolone and this reaction was followed spectrophotometrically or with the aid of thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). About 40% of t

Quality of life in patients with resectable rectal cancer during the first 24 months following diagnosis

Aim: An increasing number of patients survive rectal cancer, resulting in more patients living with the side-effects of the treatment. Exploring quality of life before and after treatment enables follow-up and additional treatment to be adjusted to the patient's needs. The aim of the study was to describe the quality of life during the 24 months following diagnosis and to identify risk factors for

Preoperative Group Consultation Prior to Surgery for Colorectal Cancer—an Explorative Study of a New Patient Education Method

Abstract: Patients with colorectal cancer may lack information about the disease and treatment. In 2017, a group consultation before start of surgery was introduced at a university hospital in western Sweden to inform about the disease, treatment, and ongoing scientific studies. The primary aim of this study was to explore the experience of the patients attending the group consultation. Based on s

Predicting life with a permanent end colostomy : A prospective study on function, bother and acceptance

Aim: The factors that influence a patient's experience of a colostomy are not known. The aim of this study was to characterise stoma function, stoma-related bother and acceptance among patients operated for rectal cancer and to investigate if there were any preoperative personal factors with predictive impact on long-term stoma-related bother. Methods: The QoLiRECT (Quality of Life in RECTal cance

Younger age at onset of colorectal cancer is associated with increased patient's delay

Aim: This study aimed to investigate if younger age at diagnosis of colorectal cancer was associated with a diagnostic delay. The secondary objective was to evaluate if symptomatology varied with age. Method: The study population consisted of the cohorts from two prospective multicentre studies conducted in Sweden and Denmark, the QoLiRECT and QoLiCOL studies. These studies investigated the qualit

Timely access to care in the treatment of rectal cancer and the effect on quality of life

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate if a delay in a patient's first contact with a healthcare professional, and any subsequent delay in diagnosis, affected self-assessed quality of life prior to start of treatment for rectal cancer. Method: Questionnaires were administered when patients had been informed of the diagnosis and planned treatment. The primary end-point was self-assessed qual

Patients with rectal cancer are satisfied with in-hospital communication despite insufficient information regarding treatment alternatives and potential side-effects

Aim: Patients with rectal cancer may undergo treatment such as surgery and (chemo)radiotherapy. Before treatment, patients are informed of different options and possible side-effects. The aim of the study was to evaluate the patients’ experience of communication with healthcare personnel at time of diagnosis and after one year. Method: A total of 1085 patients from Denmark and Sweden were included

Retrospective review of risk factors for surgical wound dehiscence and incisional hernia

Background: Several factors and patient characteristics influence the risk of surgical wound dehiscence and incisional hernia after midline laparotomy. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a specified, or not specified, suture quota in the operative report affects the incidence of surgical wound complications and to describe the previously known risk factors for these complications

Designing for Existential Sustainability : The Intersection of Social Sustainability and Universal Design, explored through Social Staircases

In this article we discuss the notions of social sustainability and universal design by reflecting on a particular type of architectural element in common space, namely the “social staircases” that serve as multifunctional spaces beyond mere transportation, aiming at social interaction. Through empirical examples, including a detailed analysis of a newly built housing project in Sweden, renowned fIn this article we discuss the notions of social sustainability and universal design by reflecting on a particular type of architectural element in common space, namely the “social staircases” that serve as multifunctional spaces beyond mere transportation, aiming at social interaction.
