Identification and isolation of cardiomyocytes from the heart, embryonic stem cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells is a challenging task and will require specific isolation techniques. Less than 30% of the cells within the murine heart are cardiomyocytes and, what is more, there are multiple sub-populations of cardiomyocytes like atrial, ventricular and conduction system cardiomyocytes. In Pap
The effect from mechanical-biological pre-treatment (MBT) of wastes in Sweden and Germany has been studied. The organic matter and biological activities were studied and compared. Other parameters such as heavy metals and nutrients were examined and related to the organic matter. The effect of low water content on degradation was investigated and the relevant legislation in the two countries was s
The aim of this project is to transfer and implement a monoclonal antibody purification process that is traditionally done on an ÄKTAxpress to another machine called the ÄKTA pure. This is due to the fact that the ÄKTAxpress is being discontinued by the manufacturer and a replace-ment machine is needed for the time being. The project will include developing some new meth-ods that might also highli
30 juni 2022 trädde en omfattande ändring av lag (1982:80) om anställ-ningsskydd i kraft. Ändringarna syftade dels till att göra det lättare för ar-betstagare att komma in samt få en trygg anställning på arbetsmarknaden, dels att göra det enklare och mer flexibelt för arbetsgivare att anställa och avsluta anställningar och därmed minska riskerna med att anställa. Bland annat bytte allmän visstidOn June 30, 2022, a comprehensive amendment to the Employment Protec-tion Act (1982:80) came into effect. The changes aimed to make it easier for employees to enter and secure employment in the labor market, as well as to simplify and provide more flexibility for employers in hiring and terminating employment, thereby reducing the risks associated with hiring. Amongst other changes "general f
Bakgrund: Generellt bland industrivärldens lager är denhuvudsakliga uppgiften försörjning av material mot montering och tillverkning. Så är fallet även på ABB Swedewater. När en produkt ska tillverkas plockar personalen på lagret ihop de komponenter som behövs och skickar dem till tillverkningen. Materialet till anläggningen ”kittas” för att underlätta arbetet i produktion. Detta betonar vikten avBackground: Generally among industrialized warehouses, the main operational task is to supply the assembly or manufacturing with material, so is also the situation at ABB Swedewater. When manufacturing a product, the warehouse personnel pick necessary components requested by othersections of the production. This stresses the importance of a correct performance when picking, as this forms the base
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränningsmotor är i dagens värld den mest använda kraftkällan för fordon. Förbränningsmotorn har kontinuerligt utvecklats och förbättrats sedan Nicolaus August Ottos och Rudolf Diesels dagar, och kommer att fortsätta att utvecklas långt in i framtiden. Ingen konkurrerande teknik har ännu på allvar utmanat förbränningsmotorns ställning. Det finns en lång rad tänkbara The prime mover in the world today is the Internal Combustion (IC) engine. The development and improvement of the internal combustion engines since Nicolaus August Otto and Rudolf Diesel has continued until today and will continue long into the future. No major competitor to the IC engine has yet emerged. There is a long list of potential competitors but they still have to prove their superiority
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blåsexstrofi är en ovanlig och mångfasetterad missbildning. I hela Sverige föds cirka tre barn om året med blåsexstrofi. Bukvägg och urinblåsa är öppna nedanför naveln, så att man ser blåsans insida samt rinnande urin. Flickorna har en delad clitoris, framflyttad och trång slidöppning samt framflyttad ändtarmsöppning. Pojkarna har en kort, öppen penis, som ligger uppfälBladder exstrophy is a complex malformation seen in 1/30 000. Most children are subject to repeated operations, including pelvic osteotomy, genital and bladder neck reconstruction and sometimes bladder augmentation or a urinary reservoir, to achieve continence and a normal genital function. A retrospective study of all Swedish children born 1970-89 showed a low continence rate, 17% , and a high r
The present study evaluated the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy in combination with cytokine-induced killer (CIK) biotherapy compared to the chemotherapy alone. Fifty-nine advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were randomly divided into two groups, group A (chemotherapy, alone, including docetaxel 75 mg/m(2), day 1; cisplatin, 25 mg/m(2), days 1-4, tri-weekly) and group B (chemoth
Background: Moderately displaced two-fragment fractures of the radial head have been treated predominantly nonoperatively. Recently, however, open reduction and internal fixation has gradually gained interest, without clear evidence that initial nonoperative treatment leads to an unfavorable outcome. As a consequence, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the long-term outcome after the
Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) was studied in laboratory scale experiments as well as in a full scale EBPR process. The studies were focused on carbon source transformations, the use of nitrate as an electron acceptor and characterisation of the microflora. A continuous anaerobic/aerobic laboratory system was operated on synthetic wastewater with acetate as sole carbon source. An ef
Spectral hole burning and photon echoes are the techniques for frequency-selective optical memories, which have the potential to increase areal data storage density by a factor 10**7. They also have the capability to perform in-memory data processing. In this thesis, several materials and techniques for optical memories in the frequency- and time domain have been investigated. In the frequency do
Sugammadex shows a dose-response relationship for reversal of neuromuscular block (NMB) during propofol anaesthesia. Sevoflurane, unlike propofol, can prolong the effect of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), increasing recovery time. This open-label, randomized, dose-finding trial explored sugammadex dose-response relationships, safety, and pharmacokinetics when administered for reversal of mo
In 1990, a joint Nordic-Russian project was initiated in order to make independent estimations of the effective dose to selected groups of inhabitants in a highly contaminated area around the city of Novozybkov In the western Bryansk region of Russia. The inhabitants were living in six villages with initial contamination levels of Cs-137 between 0.9 and 2.7 MBq m(-2). Some villages had been decont
Popular Abstract in Swedish Påverkan av faktor V Leiden-mutationen på risk för utveckling av neovaskulära komplikationer efter centralvenstrombos studerades. Hos patienter med mutationen var risken nästan tre gånger högre att utveckla neovaskulära komplikationer än hos patienter utan mutationen. Synnervssvullnad , som nyligen har presenterats som en indikator på god prognos vid centralvenstrombosThe influence of the factor V Leiden mutation on the development of neovascular complications in central retinal vein occlusion was studied. The presence of the mutation was found to enhance the risk of developing neovascular complications almost threefold compared to in patients without the mutation. Optic nerve head swelling, which recently has been presented as an indicator of good prognosis i
Liquid-crystalline cubic-phase nanoparticles (CPNPs) (known as Cubosome particles), based on the lipid glycerol monooleate and stabilized by the nonionic block copolymer Pluronic F-127, interact with supported model membranes consisting of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) in a complex and dynamic fashion. Neutron reflectivity measurements on the interaction of CPNPs with bilayers of different co
OBJECTIVE: To assess the risk of over-diagnosing and over-treating prostate cancer if population-based screening with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is instituted. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From a serum bank stored in 1980, PSA was analysed in 658 men with no previously known prostate cancer from a well-defined cohort from Goteborg, Sweden (men born in 1913); the incidence of clinical prostate
Background: Our aim was to test if plasma copeptin, a stable surrogate marker of arginine vasopressin, predicts decline of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: We measured copeptin and renal function at the Malmö Diet and Cancer Cardiovascular Cohort baseline exam and reassessed renal function after a follow-up time of 16.6 ± 1.5 years (n = 3,186). Fu
BACKGROUND: Highly increased risk of injuries has been noted around the time of cancer diagnosis. Whether there is a similar increase in risk around the diagnosis of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions was unknown.METHODS: We performed a cohort study including 3,016,307 Swedish women that participated in cervical screening during 2001 to 2012. We calculated the incidence rates (IR) of hospit
INTRODUCTION: The pituitary gland has a high expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and is therefore a potential organ at risk for radiation-induced toxicity after 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment.OBJECTIVE: To study changes in pituitary function in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) treated with dosimetry-based 177Lu-DOTATATE to detect possible late toxicity.METHODS: 68 patients from a phas
A concept based on photofragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PFLIF) is for the first time demonstrated for simultaneous detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and water (H2O) vapor in various mixtures containing the two constituents in a bath of argon gas. A photolysis laser pulse at 248 nm dissociates H2O2 into OH fragments, whereupon a probe pulse, delayed 100 ns and tuned to an absorption l
