RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A total of 3,450 subjects with 2-h plasma glucose concentration < 140 mg/dl at baseline were followed up in the San Antonio Heart Study (SAHS) and the Botnia Stud

Common genetic variants have been recently associated with fasting glucose and insulin levels in white populations. Whether these associations replicate in pre-diabetes is not known. We extended these findings to the Diabetes Prevention Program, a clinical trial in which participants at high risk for diabetes were randomized to placebo, lifestyle modification or metformin for diabetes prevention.

A new method to extract mass density and elemental compositions of tissues from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scans is described and investigated. The method decomposes a tissue into proportions of two or three predened base materials and was proposed in 2008 by a research team at Linkoping University. Informations of tissue parameters may be important in radiation treatment planning to c

Förevarande uppsats undersöker EU-domstolens praxis avseende värdeöverföringar mellan originaltillverkare av läkemedel och generikaföretag i samband med patentförlikningar (så kallade ‘RPPSs’) för att urskilja under vilka förutsättningar ett sådant förfarande utgör en syftesöverträdelse. Analysen visar att EU-domstolens avgöranden Generics och Lundbeck förtydligar bedömningen av mer okompliceradeThis thesis examines the CJEU’s case law on value transfers between originator and generic undertakings, in the context of patent settlements, to ascertain the criteria for determining when such a practice amounts to a restriction of competition by object. The thesis finds that the CJ’s rulings in Generics and Lundbeck clarifies the treatment of more straightforward RPPSs and follows established
