PURPOSE: To estimate the effect of dexamethasone eye drops on the risk of progression from type 2 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) to ROP requiring traditional treatments.DESIGN: Register-based cohort study.PARTICIPANTS: Preterm infants born before 30 weeks' gestation from 2015-2018 (control years) and from 2020-2021 (intervention years) registered in the Swedish Quality Register for ROP at 4 Swed
Feedback with carry shift registers (FCSRs) have previously been available in two configurations, the Fibonacci and Galois architectures. Recently, a generalized and unifying FCSR structure and theory was presented. The new ring FCSR model repairs some weaknesses of the older architectures. Most notably, the carry cell bias property that was exploited for an attack on the eSTREAM final portfolio c
This study aimed to test and validate a dual-time-window (DTW) protocol for 6-(fluoro-18F)-3-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-1-yl)isoquinolin-5-amine ([18F]MK6240) dynamic PET imaging in experimental datasets acquired in human subjects. Methods: DTW protocols were tested and validated in datasets previously collected in 25 participants: 13 were cognitively normal, 10 had mild cognitive impairment, and 2
The sentinel node biopsy (SNB) procedure is a multidisciplinary technique, invented to gain prognostic information in different malignant tumors. The aim of the present study was to study the cohort of patients with malignant melanoma, operated with SNB, from the introduction of the technique in Sweden, concerning the prognostic information retrieved and the outcome of the procedures. In Sweden al
In the years 1943, 1944 and 1946, the Icelandic author Halldór Laxness published the three parts of his novel Íslandsklukkan (called Iceland’s Bell in Philip Roughton’s recent, excellent translation). This is a historical novel, taking place around the turn of the seventeenth century. The way Icelandic history is depicted in the novel, and the way this was discussed in the reviews in Icelandic pap
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Immi Lundins avhandling Att föra det egna till torgs står 1960-, 1970- och 1980-talen i fokus. Tre kvinnliga författares debutromaner, en från varje decennium, undersöks och sätts i relation till de förändrade positionerna i den offentliga kvinno- och litteraturdebatten under trettioårsperioden. Frågan som avhandlingen söker svar på gäller romanernas samspel med tillkThe Swedish debate both on the role of literature and on the social position of women underwent rapid change during the thirty years from 1960 to 1990. In Bringing the Personal to Market: Narrative, Subject-Matter and Contemporary History in the First Novels of Kerstin Strandberg, Enel Melberg and Eva Adolfsson, the debut novels of three female authors’ are close-read from a thematic and narratolo
Stimulation around the superior cerebellar peduncle or within the deep cerebellar nuclei is known to inhibit the inferior olive with a very long latency. It has been suggested that this inhibition is mediated by the GABA-ergic nucleo-olivary pathway, but alternative explanations such as activation of an indirect excitatory pathway or a pathway via the red nucleus are possible. A long-latency inhib
The aim of this work was to study the leaching of hazardous substances in additives and admixtures that are commonly contained in concrete. Time-dependent leaching has been analyzed for three types of metal containing concretes: with ordinary Portland cement (OPC), fly ash, and slag. The concretes had uniform leaching patterns, clearly above detection limits. The prolonged diffusion test of 1,700
Agarose gels have long been known to produce exceptionally large enhancements of the water H-1 and H-2 magnetic relaxation rates. The molecular basis for this effect has not been clearly established, despite its potential importance for a wide range of applications of agarose gels, including their use as biological tissue models in magnetic resonance imaging. To resolve this issue, we have measure
Treating nitrogen-rich reject water from anaerobically digested sludge with deammonification has become a very beneficial side stream process. One common technique is the one-stage moving bed bioreactors (MBBRs), which in comparison with the other deammonification techniques can be started up without seeding anammox bacteria. This study investigated the impact of biofilm seeding on the start-up of
The objective of this paper is to perform an empirical description and analysis of the duration of EU imports from the rest of the world. Toward this aim, we employ a rich data set of detailed imports to individual EU15 countries from 140 non-EU exporters, covering the period 1962-2006. Using these data, we both perform a thorough descriptive analysis of the duration of EU trade, and test the data
Popular Abstract in Swedish I centrum för min avhandling står den spanske dominkanen Alonso de Montúfar (ca.1489-1572) som mellan 1554 och 1572 var ärkebiskop av Mexiko. I synnerhet har jag studerat hur ärkebiskop Montúfar ville att kyrkan skulle organiseras (hans kyrkovision) och hur han försökte förverkliga sin vision (hans kyrkopolitik). Montúfar kom till Mexiko drygt trettio år efter den spanThis dissertation focuses on Archbishop Alonso de Montúfar OP (ca. 1489-1572). It seeks to explore two decades of sixteenth century Mexican Church History mainly through the study of documents found in Spanish and Mexican archives. Born outside Granada in Southern Spain, just after the conquest from the Muslims, Alonso de Montúfar assumed teaching and leading positions within the Dominican order.
Objectives. Accidents in health care, resulting in injury or death to the patient, are a matter of considerable concern. The aim of this study is to examine whether system weaknesses can contribute to these accidents, and if so, how. Design. Eight consecutive accidents reported to the Health Authority in Sweden were analysed using MTO (Man-Technique-Organization) analysis. Setting. Emergency care
Nixtamal, masa, and tortilla samples were stored for 24-96 hr and their chemical composition, retrogradation, and in vitro starch digestibility features were evaluated. Ash and fat contents in the three products were smaller than in the original corn sample, but protein levels were higher, all in accordance with previous studies. In general, a minor decrease in available starch (AS) content was ob
We reconstructed forest development and disturbance events (fire and logging) during the last 1000 yr with tree-ring data, pollen and charcoal analysis from a semi-natural Fagus sylvatica-Picea abies forest (ca. I km(2)) in the hemiboreal zone. According to pollen analysis, Quercus robur together with Pinus sylvestris was abundant in the forest until the turn of the 18th/19th centuries when these
