Background: The underlying factors of the male predominance in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are largely unknown, although a female advantage in social communication has been pointed out as a potential factor. Recently, attention has been given to ASD as a sensory processing disorder, focusing on the audio-visual temporal processing paramount for the development of communication. In ASD, a devia
Aim To examine the associations between individual- and disease-related factors and the odds of reaching a clinically relevant pain reduction in people with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent a first-line self-management program. Materials and methods An observational registry-based study including people with knee (n = 18,871) and hip (n = 7,767) OA who participated in a self-manag
By 2050, seven billion people will be living in cities. In 2020 itself, these cities dumped a whopping 29 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide along with other greenhouse gases poses a serious health hazard. It also manifests as extreme weather events, leading to the loss of lives, livelihoods, assets, and social wellbeing.Given the significant impact that cit
A search for high-mass charged and neutral bosons decaying to Wγ and Zγ final states is presented in this paper. The analysis uses a data sample of s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb −1 collected by the ATLAS detector during LHC Run 2 operation. The sensitivity of the search is determined using models of the production and decay of spin-1 charged bosons and
Objective To describe the epidemiology of injuries at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, including injuries sustained in the new sports of badminton and taekwondo. Methods Injury data were obtained daily via the established web-based injury and illness surveillance system (WEB-IISS; 81 countries, 3836 athletes) and local organising committee medical facilities (81 countries, 567 athletes). Univariat
A growing world population confronts humanity and the planet with several challenges due to its increased demand for food, space and energy, implying changes in land use. While agriculture currently provides enough food, it is destroying biodiversity and hence aggravates the planet ́s vulnerability to climate change. A paradigm shift might therefore be needed. Applying a political ecology lens, co
Tapasin is a subunit of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). It associates with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I. We show that tapasin interacts with beta- and gamma-subunits of COPI coatomer. COPI retrieves membrane proteins from the Golgi network back to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The COPI subunit-associated tapasin also interacts with MHC class I mole
Background Long-term outcome after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation including late transplant-related events is of increasing interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of cardiovascular events after allogeneic HSCT and to search for their risk factors. Design and Methods This is a retrospective mutlicenter European Group of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) analysi
Background: Our objective was to explore outcome and clinical changes in hand function, satisfaction in daily occupations, sleep disturbances, health and quality of life in consecutive patients after a severe or major hand injury. Our objective was also to investigate possible differences between groups according to severity of injury, presence of peripheral nerve injury and the patients' sense of
It is frustrating for every reasonable human being to observe scenes of exploitation around the world in respect of children, because of their either naivety or vulnerability. It is unacceptable that still in the 21st century, children do not benefit from the protection, attention and love they deserve. An estimated 300 million children worldwide are subject to violence, exploitation and abuse inc
Denna rapport är framtagen som en del av kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering (VBRN70), som ges vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Objektet är en idrottshall i Halmstad, kallad Söndrumshallen. Syftet med rapporten är att utreda personsäkerheten vid ett brandtillbud och målet är att undersöka om Söndrumshallen kan utrymmas på ett säkert sätt vid brand. Vid behov ska även åtgärdsförslag ges. Söndrumshallen b
Denna text undersöker de offentliga rättshjälpsmodellerna för icke-straffrättsliga frågor i Sverige och British Columbia (BC), Kanada. Den Svenska rättshjälpsmodellen karaktäriseras av att offentlig rättshjälp är subsidiär till privat rättsskyddsförsäkring. Undersökningen ger underlag för en komparativ analys. Med beaktande av utvecklingen sedan mitten av 1990-talet och den kritik som riktats mot This text examines the public legal aid models for non-criminal legal matters in Sweden and British Columbia (BC), Canada. The Swedish legal aid model is characterized by making public legal aid subsidiary to private Legal Expenses Insurance. The examination provides data for a comparative analysis. Considering developments since the mid 1990s, and the critique aimed at the legal aid models in bot
Acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms and lymphomas are the most prevalent diagnoses in adults presenting with new onset cytopenia. Here, we describe two 10-color panels of surface markers (screening and comprehensive panel) applied at the Flow Cytometry Laboratory, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada. A 10-color flow cytometry is applied using th
The production team behind the television series Holocaust had a challenging task to find a character who the audience could relate to and try to understand, despite the knowledge that he was deeply involved in the mass executions on the Eastern front. In my paper, I analyse the fictional SS member Erik Dorf (Michael Moriarty). Dorf was based on several people, including the SS officer Otto OhlenThe production team behind the television series Holocaust had a challenging task to find a character who the audience could relate to and try to understand, despite the knowledge that he was deeply involved in the mass executions on the Eastern front.

New-generation single-layer polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE-) or polyurethane (PU-) covered stent (CS) for the treatment of coronary artery perforation (CAP) during PCI offer high procedural efficacy. To evaluate the comparative long-term safety and efficacy of both devices. This is a multicenter pooled analysis of individual data of patients with CAP undergoing implantation of single-layer PTFE-CS o
Background: The Bethesda system for cytopathology (TBSRTC) is a 6-tier diagnostic framework developed to standardize thyroid cytopathology reporting. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of malignancy (ROM) for each Bethesda category. Methods: Thyroidectomy-related data from 314 facilities in 22 countries were entered into the following outcome registries: CESQIP (North America), Eurocr
Gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy shortly called GASMAS, is a tunable diode laser spectroscopic technique developed for the measurement of gas present in turbid media. The technique relies on the sharp and specific absorption lines of gases which enables sensitive measurements of gas concentrations in the presence of a scattering solid medium with much broader absorption features. Th
