Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism. While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been described in detail for many Gram-positive pathogens, little research has been carried out with SBSEC in this
Introduction: Complicated perianal disease (cPD) may be the sole presentation of Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the diagnostic algorithm of cPD is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the role of SBCE as a diagnostic tool, in patients with cPD, after a negative standard workup for CD. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study, in patients with
PurposeEstablished shopping centres have in recent years experienced increasing competition due to a steady increase in newer and bigger centres as well as online shopping. How could existing centres compete on such terms?Design/methodology/approachThis analysis is based on interviews with 96 shopping centre managers in charge of malls that existed in 2008 and 2014, about their improvements during
Two exposures in Jylland, Denmark, encompassing beds of latest Oligocene to earliest Miocene age (latest Chattian-early Aquitanian) yielded well-preserved palynofloras. The assemblages indicate that Jylland was covered by extensive Taxodiaceae swamp forests in the mid-Cenozoic. Besides a Taxodiaceae-Cupressaceae association, which was overwhelmingly dominant, other common plants in this habitat we
Structural biology offers a window into the functionality of molecular machines in health and disease. A fundamental challenge lies in capturing both the high-resolution structural details and dynamic changes that are essential for function. The high-resolution methods of X-ray crystallography and electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) are mainly used to study ensembles of static conformations but can
The institution ‘Barnahus’ [Children’s House] have been established in the Nordic countries in purpose to improve the investigations and collaboration of involved agencies in protecting children in suspicion of being victims of serious crimes of abuse. Sometimes children visit Barnahus with their parents. In Sweden when custodians or related persons are suspected, children can be summoned to Barna
The laboratory consists of a XenX x-ray irradiator (XStrahl) for experimental radiobiology, with supporting equipment for cell culture applications, such as laminar flow cabinets, CO2 incubators, and a hypoxia workstation. The XenX unit is designed as a radiotherapy machine in miniature. It consists of a 225 kV x-ray source, mounted on a rotatable gantry allowing irradiation of specimens from all
