Background: The presence of echolucent carotid plaques as defined by low ultrasound grey-scale median (GSM) is associated with a higher risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. Betablockers have shown possible anti-atherosclerotic effects. The aim of the present study was to determine if there is an association between carotid plaque GSM and treatment with betablockers. Methods: The GSM of the ca
In the present study, a simple and reliable antioxidant screening technique based on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) oxidation by Cu2+-mediated Fenton's reaction has successfully been developed. Oxidation of LDH by hydroxyl radical consequently leads to enzymatic inactivation, while addition of antioxidants can protect and regain enzyme activity. This method demonstrated a high feasibility on detectin

BACKGROUND: Men with gynecomastia may suffer from absolute or relative estrogen excess and their risk of different malignancies may be increased. We tested whether men with gynecomastia were at greater risk of developing cancer.METHODS: A cohort was formed of all the men having a histopathological diagnosis of gynecomastia at the Department of Pathology, University of Lund, following an operation
OBJECTIVES: To identify variables associated with longitudinal change in meniscal extrusion, which might be used as possible targets for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) prevention. METHODS: In a high-risk population of middle-aged overweight women, meniscal extrusion was assessed with magnetic resonance imaging (1.5 T, coronal proton density, in-plane resolution 0.5 mm2, Sante DICOM Editor) at baseline
Most patients with symptoms suggestive of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) have no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and better selection of patients to be referred for diagnostic tests is needed. The CAD-score is a non-invasive acoustic measure that, when added to pretest probability of CAD, has shown good rule-out capabilities. We aimed to test whether implementation of CAD-score in clini
This Master Thesis report describes the development of a new surveillance camera design containing PIR-sensors (Pyroelectric Infrared). The background to this project lies in the idea that PIR-sensors and video-motion detection technology can complement each other and thereby reduce false alarms. Research on PIR-sensors and optics were carried out to gain and understanding of the limitations and p
EU’s and the Swedish government’s requirements to lower the energy consumption for buildings are getting stricter. In April 30 2014 the law on energy metering (SFS 2014: 267) was issued. The law deals with energy metering in new construction and reconstruction, during 2015 a decision must be taken on how measurement in existing buildings should be handled. Individual metering and charging (IMC) co
Åklagarens objektivitetsplikt har under de senaste åren blivit särskilt uppmärksammad med anledning av Thomas Quick-fallet. Under 90-talet erkände Quick ett 30-tal mord, varav han blev dömd för åtta av dem. Emellertid förändrades allt år 2008 när Quick tog tillbaka sina erkännanden. Detta ledde till ett antal omprövningar, där han så småningom blev friad från samtliga åtal. I såväl domstolar som mIn recent years, the prosecutor's duty to act objectively has received special attention due to the case of Thomas Quick. During the 90’s, Quick confessed to over 30 murders, of which he was convicted for eight of them. However, all this changed in the year of 2008 when he took back his confessions. This led to a number of re-trials, where Quick eventually was cleared from all charges. Extensi
Sports-related concussions (SRCs) typically occur when the brain is hyperthermic. Acute head-and-neck cooling should, therefore, reduce the brain's metabolic demands, with the potential to improve recovery following an SRC. Elite ice hockey players who underwent head-and-neck cooling after sustaining a concussion (SRC) showed reduced return-to-play times, although further investigation is warrante
Background: This study aimed to assess chlamydia diagnostics in different clinic types, including internet-based self-sampling (IBSS). Furthermore, we investigated the incidence of chlamydia-associated complications. Methods: Data on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) testing were retrieved from six healthcare regions in the years 2016–2023 across different categories of testing facilities. National data
OBJECTIVE: To assess structural changes at peripheral entheses and the association with spinal bone formation in patients with long-standing radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) overall and stratified by sex. METHODS: Peripheral entheses were examined cross-sectionally using ultrasound (US) in patients fulfilling the modified New York criteria for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and assessed
