The aim of our retrospective study was to determine the extent to which diffusion- and perfusion- weighted MRI combined with conventional MRI could be helpful in the evaluation of intensive care unit (ICU) patients who have unknown or unclear cerebral pathology underlying a serious clinical condition. Twenty-one ICU patients with disparity between the findings on brain CT scan and their clinical s

The authors undertook a controlled, prospective, randomized study of 171 patients with supratentorial astrocytoma grades 3 and/or 4 (classified according to Kernohan). All patients were given chemotherapy consisting of procarbazine, vincristine, and lomustine (CCNU) (PVC). Half of the patients received whole-brain irradiation (RT) to a dose of 5800 cGy in the tumor-bearing hemisphere and 5000 cGy

IntroductionForensic pathologists are frequently confronted with questions about the likelihood that an injury is inflicted by an assault or is self-inflicted. However, little is known of epidemiological variables applicable to differentiate between homicides and suicides in deaths caused by single stab injuries to the trunk. MethodUsing the Swedish forensic autopsy register we identified 94 homic

At the end of life, when cure or meaningful prolongation of life is no longer available, relief of suffering is the overriding goal. In certain circumstances standard treatments may fall short of this goal, and palliative sedation (PS) to unconsciousness can be applied as a ultimum refugium.We cared for a 4-year old boy with a brain-stem tumor. In spite of all curative treatment efforts the tumor

Background: The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate and report the experience of the use of continuous intravenous propofol sedation in a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods: All children younger than 16 years who were admitted to the PICU at a University Hospital for slightly more than a year and received propofol infusion were included prospectively and data were recor

The English present perfect and simple future tenses are felicitous with the living, but not the dead, as a referent must exist at reference time. In contrast, the simple past is odd with living referents in out-of-the-blue statements, as it requires a specified or implied past reference time. We employed eye-tracking during reading (Experiment 1) and self-paced reading (Experiments 2 and 3) in or

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is structurally related to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and has been implicated in glucose homeostasis and diabetes pathogenesis because it is expressed in insulin cells and forms amyloid in pancreatic islets from type II diabetic patients. IAPP is also constitutively co-expressed with CGRP in rat sensory neurons. Whether expression of IAPP is altered by

We studied mutation kinetics in ten relapsing and four non-relapsing patients with acute myeloid leukemia by whole exome sequencing at diagnosis to identify leukemia-specific mutations and monitored selected mutations at multiple time-points using IBSAFE droplet digital PCR. Five to nine selected mutations could identify and track leukemic clones prior to clinical relapse in 10/10 patients at the

Some of the shortcomings of the Standard Model of particle physics are the 'unnatural' value of the mass of the Higgs boson and the fact that the model cannot account for the process of baryogenesis - a mechanism which generates the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the Universe. The former is related to the fundamental scalar nature of the Higgs boson, connected to quad

Arbetet presenterar en metod som uppskattar ljud så som en människa uppfattar det i ett rum. Metoden kan användas i exempelvis applikationer med augmented reality och brusreducering. Att kunna uppskatta ljud i ett ljudfält är en nödvändighet för många applikationer. I exempelvis aktivt brusreducerade hörlurar får man in en signal som man vill tysta genom att skicka ut en motsatt signal, som i teoThere are different ways of evaluating the sound pressure in a sound field. Doing so is an essential part of several applications, such as active sound control and voice analysis. One way of evaluating the sound pressure in a sound field is by measuring a few discrete points in the field, combined with an interpolation method to find the sound pressure for the remaining field. Recently, it has bee

A hybrid assistive limb (HAL) can improve the motor performance of patients with various neurodegenerative diseases, but the efficacy of home-based rehabilitation using HAL for spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) has yet to be elucidated. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of home-based telerehabilitation with lumbar type HAL in patients with SCA. In this non-randomized open-label single center trial,

This Regional Outlook focuses on the role of satellite imagery in shaping our understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the physical damage it has caused the landscape.  On 7 October 2023, Hamas carried out a large scale attack against Israel, causing over 1 000 fatalities, taking more than 200 hostages and firing thousands of rockets into Israeli territory. At the time of writing, Isr

From January 1, 1983, through December 31, 1992, a total of 4610 patients entered a randomized trial that compared mortality among patients receiving 2 years of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy with that in patients receiving 5 years of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy, 4175 of whom were recurrence free after 2 years of tamoxifen therapy. Among the 2046 patients randomly assigned to the 5-year group all-cause

Over just a few months, Visslan got ready to go to market, hired its first employee, and moved from VentureLab’s incubator to Minc in Malmö. The figures behind Visslan are 21-year-old students and high school friends Daniel Vaknine, Måns Skogman and Elias Hirschfeld. The company was formed after new EU legislation ruled that all major companies had to have a whistleblower service. Visslan’s soluti

What do we mean by a "circular" or a "biobased" economy? Why are these important and how do we get there? The most pressing concern the world has today is how to adapt our way of life in order to prevent further damage to our environment. Predictions of a future changing climate have become real, and with new reports daily of vanishing ecosystems, wild weather, and polluted habitats, it is clear t
