Återvinningsindustrin för metaller växer, inte minst genom nya metaller i elektroniska komponenter. Lundaforskare har undersökt inandningsluften på 13 återvinningsföretag i Sverige. Bland resultaten syns höga blyhalter och ett stort antal metaller i blodet hos dem som arbetar med återvinningen. Olika former av metaller ingår i, och är en förutsättning för, tillverkningen av de flesta produkter i d

Tumörvävnadens styvhet spelar en roll för hur cancer sprider sig. Dessutom lämnar styv tumörvävnad spår i de drabbade cellerna. Detta visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. – Detta hjälper oss att bättre förstå hur de mekaniska egenskaperna i tumörens mikromiljö aktivt driver cancerutveckling och spridning, säger Vinay Swaminathan, forskare vid Lunds universitet. Cancer sprider sig inte slu

The radioactive isotope Sn-107 was studied using Coulomb excitation at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. This is the lightest odd-Sn nucleus examined using this technique. The reduced transition probability of the lowest-lying 3/2(+) state was measured and is compared to shell-model predictions based on several sets of single-neutron energies relative to Sn-100. Similar to the transition probabilit

The radioactive isotope In-107 was studied using sub-barrier Coulomb excitation at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. Two gamma rays were observed during the experiment, corresponding to the low-lying 11/2(+) and 3/2(-)states. The reduced transition probability of the 11/2(+) state was determined with the semiclassical Coulomb excitation code GOSIA2. The result is discussed in comparison to large-sc

A set of B(E2) values for the low-lying excited states in the radioactive isotope Sn-109 were deduced from a Coulomb excitation experiment. The 2.87-MeV/u radioactive beam was produced at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN and was incident on a secondary Ni-58 target. The B(E2) values were determined using the known 2(+) -> 0(+) reduced transition probability in Ni-58 as normalization with the semicl

Advancements in light engineering have led to the creation of pulsed laser sources capable of delivering high-repetition-rate, high-power few-cycle laser pulses across a wide spectral range, enabling exploration of many fascinating nonlinear processes occurring in all states of matter. High-harmonic generation, one such process, which converts the low-frequency photons of the driver laser field in

Lifestyle factors such as participation in cognitively stimulating activities and physical activity are hypothesized to foster neural connections and enhance resilience, thereby attenuating cognitive loss in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Nonetheless, the relationship between these factors and important clinical outcomes of cognition and brain atrophy

Objectives To evaluate the first experience of real-time instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) measurement by clinicians. Background The iFR is a new vasodilator-free index of coronary stenosis severity, calculated as a trans-lesion pressure ratio during a specific period of baseline diastole, when distal resistance is lowest and stable. Because all previous studies have calculated iFR offline, the

Sub-barrier Coulomb excitation was performed on a mixed beam of 62Mn and 62Fe, following in-trap β− decay of 62Mn at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The trapping and charge breeding times were varied in order to alter the composition of the beam, which was measured by means of an ionisation chamber at the zero-angle position of the Miniball array. A new transition was observed at 418 keV, which has been tentati

Background. HIV-infected mothers can transmit their infection to their children in utero or at delivery (vertical transmission). There have been cases of children who were reported as acquiring infection vertically and later clearing the infection. We report the frequency of this phenomenon in a European cohort study. Methods. In four centres of the European Collaborative Study of children born to

Background: Mycotoxins have been suggested to contribute to a spectrum of adverse health effects in humans, including at low concentrations. The recognition of these food contaminants being carcinogenic, as co-occurring rather than as singularly present, has emerged from recent research. The aim of this study was to assess the potential associations of single and multiple mycotoxin exposures with

Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation in the nose caused by overreaction of the immune system to allergens in the air. Managing allergic rhinitis symptoms is challenging and requires timely intervention. The following are major questions often posed by those with allergic rhinitis: How should I prepare for the forthcoming season? How will the season's severity develop over the years? No country yet

Human-mediated changes in island vegetation are, among others, largely caused by the introduction and establishment of non-native species. However, data on past changes in non-native plant species abundance that predate historical documentation and censuses are scarce. Islands are among the few places where we can track human arrival in natural systems allowing us to reveal changes in vegetation d

BACKGROUND: The OVHIPEC-1 trial previously showed that the addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to interval cytoreductive surgery resulted in improved progression-free and overall survival compared with cytoreductive surgery alone at 4·7 years of follow-up in patients with stage III epithelial ovarian cancer who were ineligible for primary cytoreduction. We report the fina

Introduction: This study aimed to understand the influence of diet and nutrition items on gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Hirschsprung Disease (HD). Method: An online questionnaire was created to obtain patient-reported outcomes using the multinational Holistic Care in Hirschsprung Disease Network. This was distributed in Dutch, English, German, Italian, Polish, and Swedish via patient

Background. Young adults starting kidney replacement therapy (KRT) during childhood and reaching their 18th birthday (i.e. adult survivors of childhood KRT) form a challenging population of interest to nephrologists treating adults, as during this period there will be a transition to adult renal centres. Nonetheless, few studies have focused on the epidemiology of KRT in this group. We aimed to pr

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has improved the survival in selected colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastases. In these patients, the risk of a low anastomosis is sometimes diminished through the creation of a colostomy. Currently, the morbidity and mortality associated with the reversal of the colostomy in this population

PURPOSE In the randomized open-label phase III OVHIPEC trial, the addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to interval cytoreductive surgery (CRS) improved recurrence-free and overall survival in patients with stage III ovarian cancer. We studied the cost effectiveness of the addition of HIPEC to interval CRS in patients with ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We constructed
