When technology meets cell biology Lysosomes are small bags present in our cells that are filled with destructive molecules, normally needed for removing cell garbage. In some cases, these bags rupture and their contents leak into the interior of the cell leading to cell death. This can contribute to many diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. However, rupturing lysosomes intentionally, can also

Sveriges elsystem står inför en rad kommande utmaningar. En lovande lösning till många av dessa är efterfrågeflexibilitet. Men vad är byggnaders möjligheter och begränsningar att vara flexibla i sin elanvändning? Förutsättningarna för elförsörjningen i Sverige förändras i takt med att kärnkraften gradvis fasas ut och ersätts med väderberoende elproduktion i form av vind- och solkraft. Detta sker Sweden is heading towards an energy system with less nuclear power and more intermittent energy sources. Together with the coming electrification of the transport and industry sector, this challenges the future stability of the Swedish power system. However, a part of the solution could be that consumption of electricity temporarily is adjusted to facilitate the operation of the power system, reco

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Supernovor och andra galaktiska system skickar ut mängder av atomkärnor med nära ljusets hastighet, så kallad kosmisk strålning. Eftersom supernovor framförallt finns i spiralarmarna i vår galax och jorden över långa tidsperioder rör sig relativt spiralarmarna så har det föreslagits att kosmisk strålning inte varit konstant under jordens historia. Vidare har visIt has been suggested that the cosmic ray flux varies as Earth moves relative to the spiral arms in the galaxy. However, no satisfying record over the cosmic ray flux over long time scales has been presented. This work aims to investigate the possibility to use cosmic ray tracks in silicate mineral inclusions in sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial chromite (SEC) grains as such a record. Chromite i

Med det ökande behovet att minska användandet av fossila bränslen så är metaller ett utmärkt alternativ för att elektrifiera samhället. Koppar är en av de viktigaste metallerna på grund av de stora mängder som förekommer naturligt på vår planet. Det är även på grund av dess utmärkta egenskaper. Sedan koppar upptäckes för flera århundraden sedan har användandet fortsatt att öka. Koppar och dess egeCopper and copper alloys are important material systems for the electrification of society. The high workability of the materials makes them appropriate in numerous different applications which require highly conductive properties. One main advantage of Cu and Cu-bearing alloys is the eminent ability to be repeatedly recycled without losing the advantageous properties. This raises the question whe

Idiopatisk normaltryckshydrocephalus (iNPH) är en neurologisk sjukdom som påverkar hjärnans vätskecirkulation och kan leda till symtom som gång- och balanssvårigheter, kognitiv nedsättning och urininkontinens. Sjukdomen drabbar omkring 1.5 % av 70-åringar, och prevalensen ökar med åldern. Det är en svårdiagnostiserad sjukdom där hjärnvätska (CSF) ansamlas i hjärnans hålrum, vilket påverkar hjärnanIntroduction: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a treatable but largely underdiagnosed neurological condition affecting the elderly population. It is characterised by gait and cognitive impairment, as well as urinary incontinence. For the most part, it is diagnosed via imaging and clinical assessments. Abnormalities in cerebrospinal (CSF) flow in the cerebral aqueduct have been li

BackgroundShock is a condition with high mortality even with early intervention and treatment. Usual care for shock and hypotension in the Emergency Department (ED) is intravenous fluid resuscitation which can lead to fluid overload and other complications. When fluid therapy fails or risk of complications are high, the next treatment step is the use of vasopressors for stabilisation. Noradrenalin

Why studying proteins is important All our cells contain hereditary information, DNA, that allows the building blocks of our body, the cells, to know how to behave. However, the DNA is only the instruction book while proteins are the key players doing all the important work. We have to cope with many situations throughout our lives, such as stress, hunger and sickness among various others, and it

Objective: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics at the time of diagnosis of primary ovarian immature teratoma with no other germ cell tumor components described on histopathology. Methods: This was a retrospective study of women with a histological diagnosis of primary ovarian immature teratoma who had undergone a preoperative ultrasound examination between 1998 and 2024. Cases

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and mid-term results of combining polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based iliac limbs, having a short dilator tip, with a polyester (Dacron)-based bifurcated component during a fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR).Materials and methods: All patients who underwent a FEVAR procedure in a single tertiary center were screened for in

Abstract – Introduction: Peripheral intravenous catheterization is commonly required in sick neonates but remains challenging due to small vessels, leading to multiple attempts and complications. This review evaluated the benefits and harms of device-assisted techniques versus standard technique. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Cochrane Reviews, WHO ICTRP, and ClinicalTrials.gov (Oc

Introduction: The transition from pediatric to adult healthcare represents a crucial period for adolescents and youth living with HIV. When this healthcare transition is not properly managed, it can result in negative outcomes such as loss to follow-up (LTFU), increased morbidity, and mortality. Therefore, it is essential to estimate the incidence rate and identify predictors of loss to follow-up

Objectives: There are several breast cancer (BC) risk factors—many related to body composition, hormonal status, and fertility patterns. However, it is not known if risk factors in healthy women are associated with specific mammographic features at the time of BC diagnosis. Our aim was to assess the potential association between pre-diagnostic body composition and mammographic features in the diag

Aims/hypothesis: Low birthweight (LBW) is associated with younger age, less obesity and more hypertension among people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality risk. It is not known whether LBW is associated with an increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) among people with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Methods: Original mid

Objectives: To assess the interval change of the minimal joint space width (MJS) in radiographs of the tibiofemoral (TF) joint and of the patellofemoral (PF) joint with a 2-year follow-up in middle-aged people with longstanding knee pain with or without radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) and to study the precision of the MJS measurements. Design: In the format of a prospective study of early OA the

Time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (TOF-MS) measurements of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([EMIM][OTF]) vapors have been conducted in order to gain insight into the VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) absorption thresholds. The experimental data were interpreted with hybrid density-functional theory (DFT), time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT), and several flavours of many-body perturbation theor

Popular Abstract in Swedish Levande organismer, inklusive människor, har en 14C/12C-kvot som återspeglar miljön. När materialet dör slutar kroppen att fylla på 14C och kroppens 14C börjar sönderfalla till 14N. Detta gav upphov till den klassiska 14C-dateringsmetoden, vilken utvecklades av professor W.F. Libby, 1949 och gav honom Nobelpriset i kemi 1960. 14C-datering används huvudsakligen inom arkeThe testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, in the middle of the 20'h century, resulted in a bomb-pulse excess of atmospheric 14C. A bomb-pulse dating method was thus developed. The latter is a method to determine the time of formation of formerly living modern (i.e. living after 1955) material , based on the 14C/ 12C ratio in it. The objective of this work was to evaluate the factors that c

Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein presented mostly in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in human plasma, and is exclusively expressed in liver and in kidney. The pathophysiological function of apoM has not yet been elucidated. Apolipoprotein B (apoB), the characteristic apolipoprotein of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), is like apoM, a very hydrophobic protein, and thereafter they both

Sweden is the only Scandinavian country that uses closed treatment institutions based on coercive measures within the child welfare system, on a large scale, for the education and treatment of young criminal offenders and drug users. In Sweden there are in 2002 some 30 “homes for specialized supervision” of varying sizes and degrees of specialization – all run by a national board of institutional
