Low CD4 + T cell count is related to specific anti-nuclear antibodies, IFNα protein positivity and disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus pregnancy

Background: Lymphopenia, autoantibodies and activation of the type I interferon (IFN) system are common features in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We speculate whether lymphocyte subset counts are affected by pregnancy and if they relate to autoantibody profiles and/or IFNα protein in SLE pregnancy. Methods: Repeated blood samples were collected during pregnancy from 80 women with SLE and 51

Adaptation to water-induced disaster : exploring local knowledge and Indigenous knowledge-led strategies

The magnitude of water-induced disasters is projected to increase in the coming decades. Yet, there is a substantial gap in the understanding of how local knowledge and Indigenous knowledge are employed to respond to climate change water-induced disasters. We examine this gap through a meta-review of literature published between 2014 and 2019 yielding 39 scholarly papers. The meta-review indicates

Hearing impaired persons' experiences with the online Swedish Individualized Active Communication Education (I-ACE) program : A feasibility study

Even with optimally fitted hearing aids, many individuals with hearing impairment struggle to hear in situations with difficult listening conditions. Active Communication Education (ACE) is an interactive group rehabilitation program aimed at helping people with hearing loss communicate more effectively using communication strategies to better cope with everyday life. To increase accessibility and

User Accounts: How technological concepts permeate public law through the AI Act

This article argues that through the EU’s technology regulation, technological concepts permeate legal language. Such concepts may function as transplants, even irritants, causing tensions and uncertainties. As technology regulation is increasingly horizontal, i.e. obligating private and public actors alike, these newfound legal concepts remain disconnected from established public law vocabulary a

ALICE luminosity determination for Pb-Pb collisions at √ s NN= 5.02 TeV

Luminosity determination within the ALICE experiment is based on the measurement, in van der Meer scans, of the cross sections for visible processes involving one or more detectors (visible cross sections). In 2015 and 2018, the Large Hadron Collider provided Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of √s NN= 5.02 TeV. Two visible cross sections, associated with particle detect

Biogeografisk uppföljning 2021 av dagfjärilar inom habitatdirektivet

Rapporten sammanfattar fjärilsinventeringar utförda 2021 inom Biogeografisk uppföljning som drivs av Naturvårdsverket. I fjällområdet kunde totalt 45 ytor inventeras. Sammanlagt noterades minst 92 högnordiska blåvingar på 29 inventerade ytor och 37 dvärgpärlemorfjärilar på 15 ytor. Två ytor inventerades för fjällsilversmygare men ingen individ påträffades denna säsong. Svartfläckig blåvinge observ

Interplay of α-synuclein with Lipid Membranes : Cooperative Adsorption, Membrane Remodeling and Coaggregation

α-Synuclein is a small neuronal protein enriched at presynaptic termini. It is hypothesized to play a role in neurotransmitter release and synaptic vesicle cycling, while the formation of α-synuclein amyloid fibrils is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, most notably Parkinson’s Disease. The molecular mechanisms of both the physiological and pathological functions of α-synuclein re

High-grade Vesicoureteral Reflux in Patients With Anorectal Malformation From the ARM-Net Registry : Is Our Screening Sufficient?

Background: Vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) is a common associated urological anomaly in anorectal malformation (ARM)-patients. High-grade VUR requires antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI's), renal scarring and -failure. The exact prevalence of high-grade VUR in ARM patients is unknown. Hence, the aim of this study was determining the incidence of high-grade VUR in ARM-pat

Tree species, mycorrhizal associations, and land-use history as drivers of cohesion in soil biota communities and microbe-fauna interactions

Community cohesion is a recent concept in ecology referring to the varying levels of connectivity and integration between populations of different taxonomic or functional groups within ecosystems. Positive cohesion denotes positive interactions such as mutualism or facilitation, while negative cohesion implies negative interactions such as competitive exclusion or a preference for different habita

A hybrid population of Willow Warblers in the Åland Archipelago

Differences in migratory behavior have been suggested to drive speciation, but the genetics underlying this process remain unknown. Identification and study of migratory divides can help us understand how differential migration can lead to reproductive isolation. Here, we genotyped Willow Warblers Phylloscopus trochilus, from the Åland islands, located in between the ranges of the differentially m

Preoperative beta blockers and other drugs in relation to anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer

Aim: Previous research has indicated that preoperative beta blocker therapy is associated with a decreased risk of complications after surgery for rectal cancer. This is thought to arise because of the anti-inflammatory activity of the drug. These results need to be reproduced and analyses extended to other drugs with such properties, as this information might be useful in clinical decision-making

Embolization of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure devices: timing, management and clinical outcomes

Background: Left atrial appendage (LAA) occluder embolization is an infrequent but serious complication. Objectives: We aim to describe timing, management and clinical outcomes of device embolization in a multi-center registry. Methods: Patient characteristics, imaging findings and procedure and follow-up data were collected retrospectively. Device embolizations were categorized according to 1) ti
