Objectives: Atrial fibrillation has been associated with increased mortality in the general population and mixed populations of critical ill. Atrial fibrillation can also affect patients during post-cardiac arrest care. We sought to assess the prognostic implications of atrial fibrillation following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, including relation to the level of targeted temperature management.
The present article will place recent Swedish cinema against the background of the evolving public film policy and support – transnational, national and regional – during the last five decades. Particular emphasis will be put on the period since the mid-1990s. Accordingly, a brief presentation and critical analysis of various important aid bodies like the Swedish Film Institute (SFI), the Nordisk
The Kleva nickel-copper mineralization is situated within a gabbro-diorite intrusion on the border between the late Svecofennian rocks of the Oskarshamn-Jonkoping belt and rocks of the slightly younger Transscandinavian Igneous Belt (TIB). The sulphides present in the mafic intrusion are pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite and pyrite, occurring as massive mineralization, disseminations and thin,
The traditional restrictive attitude towards claim for compensation about non-pecuniary harms in both cause law and legislation become weaker even if the theoretically and practically reason behind the old exception-construction remain. This reason can best be explained by the thesis about incommensurability when it comes to compensate for some losses that money cannot compensate. To explain why t
This Letter presents measurements of l(+/-) nu gamma and l(+)l(-)gamma (l = e.mu) production in 1.02 fb(-1) of pp collision data recorded at root s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in the first half of 2011. Events dominated by W gamma and Z gamma production with leptonic decays of the W and Z bosons are selected, and their production cross sections and kinematic properties are measured
Karyotype structures of Scenedesmus acuminatus (Lagerch.) Chod. and Scenedesmus pectinatus Meyen are compared. The karyotype of S. acuminatus (n = 5) is described for the first time. It reveals four large metacentric and one large submeta centric chromosomes (4M + 1SM). The established karyotype differences have been helpful in clarifying the taxonomic position of these two species. The cytologica
Moraxella catarrhalis ubiquitous surface protein A2 (UspA2) mediates resistance to the bactericidal activity of normal human serum. In this study, an interaction between the complement fluid phase regulator of the classical pathway, C4b binding protein (C4BP), and M. catarrhalis mutants lacking UspA1 and/or UspA2 was analyzed by flow cytometry and a RIA. Two clinical isolates of M. catarrhalis exp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om lungornas funktion hos för tidigt födda (prematura) barn med brist på surfaktant, ett ämne som normalt ska finnas i lungorna, och hur lungfunktionen hos sådana barn kan förbättras genom tillförsel av det saknade ämnet utifrån. I avhandlingen har också använts en djurmodell (för tidigt födda lamm) för att studera hur konstgjord andning vid födelseThe thesis investigates lung function and the effects of rescue surfactant treatment in mechanically ventilated preterm human infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and the effects of ventilation at birth on the response to surfactant supplementation in preterm lambs. To assess lung function, the author recorded static pressure-volume (P-V) curves during passive deflation from total lun
OBJECTIVE- Some individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) exhibit a 1-h excursion of plasma glucose during oral glucose tolerance testing as high as that of individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The aim of this study was to characterize their metabolic phenotype. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS- A total of 1,205 healthy volunteers (aged 29-61 years) underwent assessment of 1) oral g
Cassava cultivars are classified following different criteria, such as cyanogenic glucoside content or starch content. Here, flours from the roots of 25 cassava varieties cultivated simultaneously in a single plantation, were characterized in terms of starch content (SC), amylose content (AC), alpha-amylolysis index (AI) and gel formation ability. Resistant starch content (RS) was measured in 10 o
This was a cross-sectional study investigating factors related to satisfaction with care among long-term mentally ill patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, selected from an outpatient register. Demographic factors, personality variables, and health-related factors were related to their satisfaction with care. Satisfaction with care showed no relationships to demographic factors such as age, livin
Rationale and Objectives. The purposes of this study were to retrospectively identify various etiologies underlying intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs) in term infants aged <2 years and their respective prevalence in this population and to describe the long-term clinical outcomes in these patients. Materials and Methods. A retrospective review of the medical records and computed tomographic studies of
Aim: To quantify the effects of using prismatic glasses including optometric correction, on head and neck kinematics, perceived exertion and comfort, during work in the oral cavity. Methods: The study population consisted of forty-five participants. After a basic ergonomic education, baseline measurements of head and neck kinematics were made using inclinometers. Perceived exertion and comfort wer
För den spirande miljömedvetenheten på 1960-talet måste det har tett sig uppenbart att den socialistiska rörelsen – på båda sidor om verkliga och ideologiska murar – prioriterade sysselsättning och växande (privat och offentligt) konsumtionsutrymme långt före ekologiska hållbarhetsfrågor, och trots att miljöpolitik nu har lagts till andra politikområden har den prioritetsordningen knappast ändrats
The chapter examines the Swedish translation of Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy (1832-1834) and Poor Laws and Paupers Illustrated (1833-1834). The focus is on the publication process of two Swedish translations of ‘The Hill and the Valley’ (1832) from Illustrations of Political Economy and on the social context of the translation of ‘The Hamlets’ (1833) and ‘The Town’ (1834)
Efficient and sustainable mobility is becoming a need for emerging metropolitan areas, essential to grant their attractiveness, quality of life and economic power. Among the possible strategies to adopt, shared mobility systems have proven to be a valuable alternative to accommodate the mobility needs of citizens ensuring at the same time sustainability and transport flexibility. In particular, th
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to clarify the relation between sustainability practices and financial and market performance, and also, the role of non-financial performance outputs in this relation. Corporate sustainability is a growing area of importance for organizational development. Managing sustainability practices successfully is an imperative in achieving competitive advantage. Des
The Okinawan-based Nordic diet has been developed to improve glucose metabolism. The aim of the present study was to summarize all anthropometric, subjective, and biochemical findings obtained following two different studies investigating this diet. The diet was administered i) as a single breakfast to healthy volunteers and ii) as a 12-week dietary intervention to patients with type 2 diabetes. T
