The ability of chyle chylomicrons to bind prothrombin has been studied. Rat chyle chylomicrons were incubated with human 125I-prothrombin and binding was examined by separating the chylomicrons from free 125-I-prothrombin by density-gradient ultracentrifugation, and by gel filtration on Sepharose CL-2B. A significant binding of prothrombin to chyle chylomicrons occurred. The complex formation was
Background: The 2020 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with non-ST elevation-acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) recommend early invasive coronary angiography in high-risk patients and no routine pre-treatment with oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitor in NSTE-ACS patients prior to defining coronary anatomy. Objective: To assess the implementation
We provide a detailed account of the origin and establishment of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) and celebrate its history from inception to the current day. We discuss the mission, vision and strategic objectives of OARSI and how these have developed and evolved over the last 3 decades. We celebrate the achievements of the society as we approach its 30th birthday, honor
BACKGROUND: High physical exertion during work is a risk factor for back pain and long-term sickness absence.OBJECTIVE: To investigate which factors are associated with physical exertion during manual lifting.METHODS: From 14 workplaces across Denmark, 200 blue-collar workers reported perceived physical exertion (Borg-CR10) during manual lifting from floor to table height of 5, 10, 20 and 30 kg at
Background: Clinical egg allergy is a common food allergy. Current management relies upon strict allergen avoidance. Oral immunotherapy might be an optional treatment, through desensitization to egg allergen. Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of oral and sublingual immunotherapy in children and adults with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated egg allergy as compared to a placebo treatmen
Purpose: To describe hand function, and investigate adherence to a rehabilitation protocol and factors associated with upper extremity disability in non-surgically treated proximal phalangeal fractures. Material and methods: In a prospective cohort study, 86 patients (58 women, mean age of 49 years) were assessed at cast removal and 6 weeks follow-up. Adherence was registered in a diary. Factors p
Foaming of most bio-based polymers is challenged by low pore formation and foam stability. At the same time, the developing utilization of bio-based materials for the circular economy is placing new demands for easily processable, low-density materials from renewable raw materials. In this work, we investigate cellulose nanofiber (CNF) foams in which foaming is facilitated with wood-based hemicell
With the increasing demand of using alternative and renewable fuels, it becomes of vital importance to consider the fuel flexibility when designing a new burner for gas turbines. Hydrogen-enriched fuel and ammonia are two of these potential fuels, and they can significantly change the operability range of the gas turbines. Thus, it is necessary to enhance both the fundamental understanding on turb
Rapeseed press cake (RPC), the by-product of rapeseed oil production, contains proteins with emulsifying properties, which can be used in food applications. Proteins from industrially produced RPC were extracted at pH 10.5 and precipitated at pH 3 (RPP3) and 6.5 (RPP6.5). Emulsions were formulated at three different pHs (pH 3, 4.5, and 6) with soy lecithin as control, and were stored for six month
Background: We aimed to evaluate whether serum hepcidin is a useful indicator of iron status in infants. Methods: Term infants (n = 400) were randomized to delayed (≥180 s) or early (≤10 s) cord clamping (CC). Iron status was assessed at 4 and 12 months. In all cases with iron depletion or iron deficiency (ID) (as defined in “Methods”) (n = 30) and 97 randomly selected iron-replete infants, we ana
Calcareous nannofossils are considered to be the most productive calcifying organisms, but the impact of their emergence on the chemistry of the ocean in the Late Triassic is not understood yet. Evolutionary details of this bio-event are missing due to the scarcity of well-preserved outcrops worldwide. The current study focuses on the calcareous nannofossil assemblage of the middle Norian to lower
This thesis outlines the design and construction of an acoustophoretic trapping device with greatly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial systems. In acoustic trapping, a strong, localised acoustic field is generated inside a channel. This field can capture and retain particles against a flow, allowing for nanoparticle purification and enrichment without the need for ul
Efter att den svenska riksdagen beslutade att återuppta totalförsvarsplaneringen år 2015 har vi erfarit en världsomspännande pandemi, krig i Sveriges närområde samtidigt som en stundande klimatkris blir alltmer akut. Dessa faktorer har gjort civilförsvarsförmågan och den svenska befolkningens hemberedskap till en aktuell fråga. Hur väl förberedda är vi egentligen ifall samhällets service slutaSince the Swedish parliament decided to resume the total defense planning in 2015, we have experienced a worldwide pandemic, war in the vicinity of Sweden, and an impending climate crisis becoming increasingly urgent. These factors have put civil defense capabilities and the Swedish population´s home preparedness high on the political agenda. How well-prepared are we really if societal service
Fed aquaculture is a necessary practice to meet the seafood requirements of a growing population in a sustainable manner. There is a high demand for fish feed to meet the rising protein requirements of the industry. Currently, fish feeds are either unsustainable, affected by seasonal variations, lack a complete amino acid profile, lack scalability, or are too expensive. Single Cell Protein (SCP) i
Med sin ökade tillgänglighet på den kommersiella marknaden har eye-tracking blivit ett allmänt tillgängligt system för att analysera ögonrörelser. Detta har öppnat upp för nya möjligheter för utvärdering av usability inom humancomputer interaction, som tidigare har varit dyrt, tidskrävande och ofta utfört baserat på dåligt dokumenterade standarder och mål. Tidigare forskning har visat att eye-tracWith its increased availability on the commercial market, eye-tracking has become a widely accessible system for analysing eye-movements. This has opened up new possibilities in evaluation of usability in human-computer interaction, which has had a history of being expensive, time-consuming and often performed based on poorly documented standards and objectives. Previous research has indicated the
Connexins are proteins that make up the gap junctions that directly link the intracellular spaces of neighboring cells. Each gap junction is formed by the joining up or docking of two hemichannels in the cell membranes. It has been proposed that the gap junctions themselves or opening of hemichannels to the extracellular space may allow the spread of cytotoxic signals after injury, leading to prog

In this paper a simulation of a convective cell of a thunderstorm system observed 19th of June 2000 during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS) field campaign is being analysed. The storm system has been simulated with an Aerosol-Cloud model and the analysis is based on the output data. The analysis spans over 30 minutes which covers the mature stage and the begi
The purpose of this paper is to measure living standards for the population of Chocó, Colombia, using four waves of the DHSurveys between 1990 and 2005. Recent maternal history allowed the construction of a pooled dataset of 3.055 children and 779 mothers. The concept of living standards is measured as the ability to ensure child and marriage survival subject to short term economic stress, which i
This study examines how people with lived experiences of crime describe processes of entry into and exit from criminality. Furthermore, the study analyses how social bonds, turning points, and key life experiences are given meaning, and how the functions of criminality can be understood through the participants' life narratives. With a symbolic interactionist perspective, the analysis is made
