The phenomenon of abused women with mental illness is often unrecognised by staff working within welfare services. This may be explained by staff members' attitudes, insecurity or lack of awareness. Today, there are shortcomings in the knowledge of staff members' experiences and interpretations of abuse against women suffering from mental illness. The aim of this qualitative study was to describe

The purpose of this work was to investigate whether a probiotic bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, could affect Escherichia coli-induced passage of mannitol across the intestinal wall. Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated for one week by either tube feeding with L. plantarum 299v twice daily, free access to L. plantarum 299v by adding the bacterium in the drinking water, or negative control r

Sweden’s elderly population is growing, propelled by a continuous decline in old-age mortality, while coupled with a persistent replacement level fertility. This changing age structure increases the per worker cost of providing a given age-vector of per capita benefits, encompassing costs for pensions, health care, and all other type of old-age welfare services, which presents a looming challenge

This article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden. By employing the concepts “religionization” and “biblical assemblages,” this study identifies and analyzes the interplay between perceptions of secularity and the Bible in the public debate on women’s ordination in the Church of Sweden (CofS) in the 1950s – a crucial decade in the secularizatio

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are crucial for cardiovascular health. HDL dysfunction is strongly linked to atherosclerosis and other diseases. Although HDL is often treated as a single entity, it comprises a spectrum of subfractions differing in size, structure, and composition. Understanding the ultrastructure and function of these subfractions is essential for uncovering the molecular mechanis

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Sedimentära facies och fauna från den sensiluriska Bjärsjölagårdkalkstenen i Skåne. Under den sena delen av silurperioden, för ca 420 miljoner år sedan, låg Sverige söder om ekvatorn och Skåne var täckt av ett grunt, varmt hav. I det här havet, den så kallade Baltiska bassängen, bildades sediment som vi idag återfinner bl.a. i ett gammalt övergivet kalkbrott i BThe late Ludlow Bjärsjölagård Limestone Member comprises a part of the Klinta Formation of the Öved-Ramsåsa Group in Skåne, southern Sweden. The ~25 m thick member was formed during the time of the globally known Lau Event and a major sea-level lowstand in the Baltic Basin. This study describes the sedimentary rocks, and their fossil fauna, of the Bjärsjölagård Limestone Member exposed in the Bjär

PURPOSE: To assess the risk of self-fulfilling prophecy from withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in comatose cardiac arrest patients undergoing neuroprognostication.METHODS: Post-hoc multicentre study matching adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, in WLST-permitting cohorts (TTM and TTM2), and non-WLST-permitting cohorts (KORHN and ProNeCA). We matched patients in a 1:

BACKGROUND: Patients benefit from antiplatelet therapy after coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) for an acute coronary syndrome. Whether the addition of ticagrelor to aspirin, as compared with aspirin alone, further reduces the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes is unclear.METHODS: In this open-label, registry-based, clinical trial conducted at 22 Nordic cardiothoracic surgery centers, we

Homelessness has increased significantly in Sweden since the early 1990s. A national surveyof homelessness in 2023 showed that 27,383 people were in one of the four homelessnesssituations that are recognised in Sweden, namely: (a) acute homelessness; (b) institutional orsupported housing; (c) long-term housing organised by a municipality; and (d) short-termaccommodation arranged by people themselv

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services in Uganda. In response, digital health tools were rapidly adopted as one of the strategies to restore service delivery. However, the experiences of MNCH professionals implementing these adaptations remain underexplored. This study aimed to explore how MNCH professionals in Uganda experienced

Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att utvärdera huruvida book-to-market talet kan användas som hjälpmedel för att hitta aktier som förväntas ha hög avkastning på den svenska börsen. Fortsättningsvis utreds om ett eventuellt samband mellan book-to-market tal och avkastning kan förklaras av andra element såsom: företagsstorlek, tidshorisont och säsongsanomalier. En kvantitativ met

The primary aim of the study was to identify inflammatory markers relevant for osteoarthritis (OA)-related systemic (plasma) and local (synovial fluid, SF) inflammation. From this, we looked for inflammatory markers that coincided with the increased amount of O-linked Tn antigen (GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr) glycan on SF lubricin. Inflammatory markers in plasma and SF in OA patients and controls were measure

Aromatic residues form a significant part of the protein core, where they make tight interactions with multiple surrounding side chains. Despite the dense packing of internal side chains, the aromatic rings of phenylalanine and tyrosine residues undergo 180° rotations, or flips, which are mediated by transient and large-scale “breathing” motions that generate sufficient void volume around the arom

Human enteroviruses (HEV), especially coxsackievirus serotype B (CVB) and echovirus (E), have been associated with diseases of both the exocrine and endocrine pancreas, but so far evidence on HEV infection in human pancreas has been reported only in islets and ductal cells. This study aimed to investigate the capability of echovirus strains to infect human exocrine and endocrine pancreatic cells.
