Higher prevalence of coronary microvascular dysfunction in asymptomatic individuals with high levels of lipoprotein(a) with and without heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia

Background and aims: Microvascular dysfunction underlies many cardiovascular disease conditions; little is known regarding its presence in individuals with high levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of microvascular dysfunction among such subjects with and without concomitant familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Methods: Four groups of asympto

Assessing topographic effects on forest responses to drought with multiple seasonal metrics from Sentinel-2

Topography determines run-off direction, redistributes groundwater, and affects land surface solar radiation loads and the associated evaporative forcing, consequently, topography can modulate the impact of drought and heat waves on ecosystems. This topographic modulation effect, which typically occurs at the local scale, is often overlooked when assessing ecosystem drought responses using moderat

Predictive and Prognostic Biomarkers in Patients With Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome (BIO-MUSE) : Protocol for a Translational Study

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a rare group of lymphomas that primarily affects the skin. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of CTCL and Sézary syndrome (SS) is more infrequent. Early stages (IA-IIA) have a favorable prognosis, while advanced stages (IIB-IVB) have a worse prognosis. Around 25% of patients with early stages of the disease will progress to advanced stage

IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS ACCORDING TO THE SWEDISH NATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR STROKECARE : A NATIONWIDE SURVEY AMONG PHYSIOTHERAPISTS

Objective: To investigate (i) to what extent physiotherapists (PTs) working in stroke rehabilitation in various parts of the stroke care chain have implemented interventions according to the national guidelines for stroke (NGS), (ii) facilita-ting and hindering factors for the implementation, and (iii) differences between various care settings. Design: A cross-sectional study. Subjects: 148 PTs wo

Ecological traits predict population trends of urban birds in Europe

The population dynamics of urban animals has been so far remarkably understudied. At the same time, urban species’ population trends can provide important information on the consequences of environmental changes in cities. We modelled long-term population trends of 93 bird species breeding in urban areas in 16 European countries as a function of species’ traits, characterising variability in their

Discovery of a small molecule that inhibits Bcl-3-mediated cyclin D1 expression in melanoma cells

Molecular targeted therapy using a drug that suppresses the growth and spread of cancer cells via inhibition of a specific protein is a foundation of precision medicine and treatment. High expression of the proto-oncogene Bcl-3 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells originating from tissues such as the colon, prostate, breast, and skin. The development of novel drugs targeting B

Nonadiabatic Charge Transfer within Photoexcited Nickel Porphyrins

Metalloporphyrins with open d-shell ions can drive biochemical energy cycles. However, their utilization in photoconversion is hampered by rapid deactivation. Mapping the relaxation pathways is essential for elaborating strategies that can favorably alter the charge dynamics through chemical design and photoexcitation conditions. Here, we combine transient optical absorption spectroscopy and trans

“Too Bad to Be True” : Swedish Economists on Keynes’s The Economic Consequences of the Peace and German Reparations, 1919–29

This chapter examines the response of five prominent Swedish economists, David Davidson, Gustav Cassel, Eli Heckscher, Knut Wicksell and Bertil Ohlin, to John Maynard Keynes’s The Economic Consequences of the Peace and to the German reparations in the 1920s. When Keynes’s book appeared, Davidson and Cassel strongly endorsed it. Heckscher also agreed with Keynes in a long review entitled “Too Bad t

Nationalekonomen: Sverige måste blicka mer västerut

”Än så länge finns inga tecken på att globaliseringen börjar gå baklänges. Den expanderar inte längre, men jag kan inte säga att vi är inne i en period av stark återgång ännu”, säger Fredrik N G Andersson.Han forskar om kriser och ekonomisk politik, och är docent i nationalekonomi vid Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet.

Carbon Footprints in a Global Marketplace : Firm-Level Insights on Trade and the Environment

This doctoral thesis consists of three independent research papers. All papers are empirical and cover the area of international trade and environmental economics, with particular focus on Swedish manufacturing firms. The first paper investigates how carbon offshoring could contribute to cleaner production. Using Swedish firm-product level data from 2005-2014, combined with instrumental variable a

A study of size-selective renal elimination using a novel human model

The recently discovered selective glomerular hypofiltration syndromes have increased interest in the actual elimination of molecules in the human kidney. In the present study, a novel human model was introduced to directly measure the single-pass renal elimination of molecules of increasing size. Plasma concentrations of urea, creatinine, C-peptide, insulin, pro-BNP, β2-microglobulin, cystatin C,

Estimating Heterogeneous Panel Data Models

This thesis deals with the development and application of new estimation methods of heterogenous panel data models. In Paper I, a new estimator for heterogeneous panel data models with random interactive effects is proposed. The heterogeneity in this paper is viewed as heterogeneity over time, which is modeled by having the slope coefficients exhibit multiple structural breaks. The suggested estim

Changes in educational inequalities in knee and hip osteoarthritis surgery and non-surgery specialist care visits over time in Sweden

ObjectiveTo examine changes in prevalence and socioeconomic inequalities in knee and hip OA outcomes, in more specific surgery and non-surgery specialist care visits, from 2001 to 2011 in Sweden and to what extent sociodemographic factors can explain the changes.DesignWe included all individuals aged ≥35 years resident in Sweden from 2001 to 2011. Individual-level data was retrieved from the Swedi

Peter Weiss : The Black Wells

Short presentation of Swedish-German filmmaker Peter Weiss (1916 - 1982) and his films in connection with a new streaming service from the Filmform foundation

Nucleoredoxin Redox Interactions Are Sensitized by Aging and Potentiated by Chronic Alcohol Consumption in the Mouse Liver

Aging is characterized by increased reactive species, leading to redox imbalance, oxidative damage, and senescence. The adverse effects of alcohol consumption potentiate aging-associated alterations, promoting several diseases, including liver diseases. Nucleoredoxin (NXN) is a redox-sensitive enzyme that targets reactive oxygen species and regulates key cellular processes through redox protein–pr

Development and prognostic validation of a three-level NHG-like deep learning-based model for histological grading of breast cancer

Background: Histological grade is a well-known prognostic factor that is routinely assessed in breast tumours. However, manual assessment of Nottingham Histological Grade (NHG) has high inter-assessor and inter-laboratory variability, causing uncertainty in grade assignments. To address this challenge, we developed and validated a three-level NHG-like deep learning-based histological grade model (

Airborne SARS-CoV2 virus exposure, interpersonal distance, face mask and perceived risk of infection

Participants judged the risk of an infection during a face to face conversation at different interpersonal distances from a SARS-CoV-2 infected person who wore a face mask or not, and in the same questionnaire answered questions about Corona related issues. Keeping a distance to an infected person serves as a protective measure against an infection. When an infected person moves closer, risk of in
