BACKGROUND: Despite the increasing longevity of the world's population, with an unprecedented rise in the number of people who need palliative care (PC), there has been sparse research regarding palliative care for older people, especially when it comes to comparison of PC between healthcare systems and cultures. The aim of this systematic scoping review was to identify the characteristics of the
The response of excitatory amino acid transporter binding sites in the rat brain to 10 min of cerebral ischemia induced by bilateral common carotid occlusion combined with hypotension was examined. We observed a transient increase in the density of transporter binding sites that was first noticeable at 5 min post-recovery and persisted for 48 h. The increase in binding sites was found throughout t
Growth factor receptors activate protein tyrosine kinases, which are important for cell growth and survival. The protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity and the levels of phosphotyrosine (Ptyr) containing proteins were studied in the rat neocortex exposed to 15 min of transient cerebral ischaemia. The levels of the Ptyr containing proteins increase during recovery in the synaptosomal fraction, whil
Abstract: An involvement of excitatory amino acid (EAA) transmitter–receptor interactions in the development of hypoglycemia‐induced neuronal damage has been suggested. We report here on the binding to EAA receptors in the rat caudate nucleus and cerebral cortex, during and following severe insulin‐induced hypoglycemia with an isoelectric EEG of 10 or 30 min duration. The binding of α[3H]amino‐3‐
In search of factors influencing the outcome of an ischemic insult, we induced 10 min of forebrain ischemia in rats and assessed neuronal necrosis by quantitative histopathology after 1 week of recovery. Procedures for inducing ischemia included bilateral carotid artery clamping and reduction of blood pressure to 40–50 mm Hg by bleeding. To facilitate rapid lowering of blood pressure, a ganglionic
Abstract The concentrations of free fatty acids (FFAs) in the neostriatum of control rats and rats subjected to unilateral cortical ablation were measured during and following severe insulin‐induced hypoglycemia. The total FFA concentration in the caudate nucleus contralateral to the lesion increased to approximately 1.5 and 3 times the control level after 5 and 30 min of isoelectricity, respectiv
AbstractNitrogenase is the only enzyme that can convert the inert nitrogen molecule to ammonia, so that it can be used for biomass production and in biosynthetic pathways. It contains a complicated acitve site, composed of eight metal ions, nine sulfur ions and one carbide ion (the FeMo cluster). Although it has been thoroughly studied with crystallographic, biochemical, kinetic, spectroscopic and
Background: Arginine vasopressin has complex actions in critically ill patients, involving vasoregulatory status, plasma volume, and cortisol levels. Copeptin, a surrogate marker for arginine vasopressin, has shown promising prognostic features in small observational studies and is used clinically for early rule out of acute coronary syndrome. The objective of this study was to explore the associa
Getting girls to go to and stay in school is a worldwide issue - predominantly in the global south where it is a particular problem in Sub-saharan Africa where poverty is particularly high. This issue is also one of gender, as the majority of children who do not have access/go to school are female. This paper investigates this problem in central western Uganda, in the west county of the Kalungu
This thesis aims to explore the role a private network of investors can play when addressing and investing in the Sustainable Development Goals. The network explored is the Sida facilitated network Swedish Investors for Sustainable Development. The network was created in 2016 and has since worked to increase the knowledge among the members regarding how they should invest more efficiently in the S
Bakgrund: Artros är ett samlingsbegrepp för destruktiva sjukdomsprocesser i synovialleder. Den vanliga sjukdomen kan på sikt leda till cystbildning och deformiteter med ojämna benkanter samt smalare ledspringor. Avsmalning beror på att ledbrosk förstörs och ben därmed inte längre skyddas. Framtidsprognos tyder på en ökad befolkning i Norden, ökad livslängd hos invånarna samt ökad övervikt vilket i
I princip all befattning med barnpornografi är kriminaliserat då detta skildrar olika övergrepp på barn. Utnyttjande av barn för sexuell posering är ett brott likt barnpornografibrott där ett barn förmås att utföra handlingar med sexuell innebörd framför kamera eller andra människor. Intresse för sådant material skapar en efterfrågan som kan bidra till att fler övergrepp dokumenteras och sprids, v
Motivation and Objective: This study investigates how analysts generate from data using business intelligence tools. The motivation for study at the premise that organizations are finding it very challenging to gener-ate insights from a vast amount of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. The ini-tial problem background indicate that this may be because organizations are silo driven,
