Background Chronic inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of the 2 major types of gastric cancer. Several foods, nutrients, and nonnutrient food components seem to be involved in the regulation of chronic inflammation. Objective We assessed the association between the inflammatory potential of the diet and the risk of gastric carcinoma, overall and for the 2 major subsites: cardia

Background: Patients with unprovoked first venous thromboembolism (VTE) are at a high risk of recurrence. Although circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be associated with VTE and are markers of hypercoagulability, this study is the first to examine whether circulating miRNAs are associated with the risk of VTE recurrence. Results: A nested case-control study design was used where plas

Background: Obesity is suggested to underlie development of other metabolic aberrations, but longitudinal relationships between metabolic factors at various ages has not been studied in detail. Methods: Data from 27,379 men and 32,275 women with in total 122,940 health examinations in the Västerbotten Intervention Project, Sweden and the Vorarlberg Health Monitoring and Prevention Programme, Austr

Both genetic and lifestyle factors contribute to the risk of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Additionally, epigenetic modifications may also play a key role in the pathogenesis of NASH. We therefore investigated liver DNA methylation, as a marker for epigenetic alterations, in individuals with simple steatosis and NASH, and further tested if these alterations were associated with clinical ph

Background: Stroke and dementia are interrelated diseases and risk for both increases with age. Even though stroke incidence and age-standardized death rates have decreased due to prevention of stroke risk factors, increased utilization of reperfusion therapies, and other changes in healthcare, the absolute numbers are increasing due to population growth and aging. Objective: To analyze predictors

Objectives To assess 2-year durability of joint contracture correction following collagenase injections for Dupuytren's disease. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Orthopaedic Department in Sweden. Participants Patients with palpable Dupuytren's cord and active extension deficit (AED) ≥30° in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and/or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. A surgeon injected 0.80 m

It is essential to capture the cross-correlation properties of large-scale parameters (LSPs) among different base station links in cooperative multilink systems in order to make realistic performance assessments. In this work, propagation measurements are used to study the cross-correlation properties of different LSPs, namely large-scale fading, delay spread, azimuth spread, and elevation spread

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition with nonspecific symptoms. Diagnosis relies on medical imaging but follow-up is currently based on clinical symptoms and general risk factors. The duration of anticoagulant treatment after an acute episode of PE is still subject to debate and the best method of identifying the risk of recurrence in individual patients is undefined. Tomograp

Purpose: This thesis purpose is to see how pharmaceutical companies can use the Transaction Cost Economics theory in their decision making in regards to the make, buy or ally decision when a new market emerges. Method: This is a basic case study that focuses on the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. It has an idiographic approach, and several semi-structured interviews have taken place. Pattern-

Deeper understanding of the interactions between the immune system and tumour cells might hold the key of solving several problems regarding cancer. To increase our understanding of the functional properties of human immune cells within the tumour microenvironment, it is essential to develop relevant in vitro methods. Currently, there is lack of appropriate models for immune oncology studies, and

BackgroundNew evidence indicates that increased dietary protein ingestion promotes health and recovery from illness, and also maintains functionality in older adults. The present study aimed to investigate whether a novel food service concept with protein-supplementation would increase protein and energy intake in hospitalised patients at nutritional risk. MethodsA single-blinded randomised contro

Falling in old age may have a large impact on daily life. Falls can lead to injuries, reduced mobility and reduced quality of life. The risk of falls increases with age and frailty level. Dizziness is a strong risk factor for falls, and preventing falls and dizziness in older people is essential. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate risk factors for falls or dizziness and to explore o

This study focuses on young adults with mild mental retardation and how their early adult life is a few years after leaving high school. They have grown up in a society where the view on mentally disabled has undergone big changes. Political decisions regarding handicapped, laws, official principles and social reforms have been dominated by the prinziple of normalization. The purpose has been to

This thesis explores the possibilities of integrating semantic transport information in the context of 3D-city modelling by implementing transport surfaces according to standards defined by the 3CIM specification, an extension of CityGML. This approach aims to automatically generate transport surfaces in LOD1 and LOD2, based on the Stockholm city basemap in combination with road geometries that re

Under 1990-talet och fram till 2007 uppfördes uppskattningsvis 15 000 – 30 000 byggnader med en så kallad enstegstätad fasadkonstruktion. Konstruktionen innebär att husfasaden byggs i ett enda stycke, utan mellanliggande fuktdränerande luftspalt. Fram till 2007 ansågs konstruktionen vara mycket bra, men i början av 2007 uppdagades det att konstruktionen inte var så bra som branschen trott, utan snDuring the 1990s until 2007, approximately 15,000 to 30,000 buildings were built with a particular construction method known as External Thermal Insulation Composite System Walls, which means that the facade is constructed in one piece with no intervening air gap. Until 2007 the construction was considered to be appropriate, but in 2007 was found that it was not as good as people thought, and was
