How fish eyes may save yours?According to the World Health Organization, cataract was responsible for over half of the blindness world-wide in 2010. Getting a cataract means that the lens inside your eye gets clouded, preventing clear, sharp vision. Cataract can be caused by age, physical trauma, genetics, or even skin disease. It can virtually happen to everyone. It is possible to fix cataract byI have investigated some of the biological regulatory mechanisms governing the development of crystalline lenses. I used fish as model animals because they possess optically interesting lenses, while the geometrical simplicity of fish lenses allows for studies that are difficult or impossible with the lenses of other animals.First we have investigated lens optical plasticity by measuring longitudi

Three apple varieties cultivated in southern Sweden namely Jonagold, Kim and Mutsu were subjected to osmotic treatment at 5, 20 and 40 degreesC with a 50% sucrose solution. The evaluation of cell viability after osmotic processing, was carried out in Granny Smith apples from Argentina. The processing conditions were 50% sucrose solution at 20 degreesC and the viability assay used was based on the

Recent experiments have identified peptides that adhere to GaAs and Si surfaces. Here, we use all-atom Monte Carlo simulations with implicit solvent to investigate the behavior in aqueous solution of four such peptides, all with 12 residues. At room temperature, we find that all four peptides are largely unstructured, which is consistent with experimental data. At the same time, we find that one o

Background: Rheumatic diseases commonly affect joints and other structures in the hand.

To avoid discomfort, health care professionals may hesitate to pursue conversations about end of life with patients. Certain tools have the potential to facilitate smoother conversations in this matter. The objective was to explore the experiences of patients in palliative care in using statement cards to talk about their wishes and priorities. Forty-six cards with statements of wishes and priorit

This study investigated the tolerance and safety of pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) given either alone or together with commercially-used supplements in a porcine model of premature infants. A porcine model, mimicking human neonates at 30-32 weeks of gestational age, was used. The 7-day experiment was performed on 20 piglets. After birth, the piglets were infused with porcine immunoglobulins v

Despite increasing access to antiretroviral treatment (ART) in low-income countries, HIV-related mortality is high, especially in the first months following ART initiation. We aimed to evaluate the impact of TB coinfection on early mortality and to assess gender-specific predictors of mortality in a cohort of Ethiopian adults subjected to intensified casefinding for active TB before starting ART.

This thesis examines the lack of reliable data and the comprehensive understanding regarding lethal violence in Sweden, especially when taking into consideration the hightened media focus on lethal shootings. This thesis aims to solve that by adding more nuance to the public knowledge, both regarding the good and the bad. By utilizing high-quality cause-of-death registry data from the Swedish Nati

In Sweden, implementation of one-to-one computing in schools is a very current subject, because more and more schools decide to make an implementation. The goals are to improve the study results of the students and in a higher degree be able to individualize the education after the needs of every pupil. The purpose of this thesis is to study how an implementation of one-to-one computing will affe

It is a known fact that the 1990s brought a decrease in mortality after myocardial infarction in Sweden but that differences in mortality rates following myocardial infarction still remain between the Swedish counties. Unresolved, however, are questions as to what these inter-county differences mean for the individual patient and what role hospital care plays in this context. We analysed all patie
