BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are associated with conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their predictive value for later end-points has been less evaluated with inconsistent results.OBJECTIVE: We investigated potential relationships between CSF amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ42), phosphorylated tau (P-tau), and total tau (T-tau) with time to nursing home p

Theoretical perspective: Existing theories within anthropology, globalization of McDonald’s and Japanese culture (household etc.) were used as providing explanations of the collected data. Methodology: This research uses McDonald’s as an example of fast food consumption in Japan. The fieldwork includes interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The research has an interpretational approach to

Radiology of the pharyngoesophageal segment in patients with dysphagia relies on evaluation of both morphology and function. Video- or cineradiographic techniques are necessary. Retention of contrast material above the cricopharyngeal muscle can be due to small pseudodiverticula or true diverticula. Both phenomena are due to dysfunction in the pharyngoesophageal segment. To develop into a true div

Clofarabine has been shown to effectively induce remission in children with refractory leukemia. We conducted a prospective trial (clinicval.trials.gov NCT01025778) to explore the use of clofarabine-based chemotherapy as a bridge-to-transplant approach. Children with refractory acute leukemia were enrolled to receive two induction courses of clofarabine, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide (CloEC). Re

Background: Child mortality differed greatly within rural regions in Europe before and during the mortality transition. Little is known about the role of nutrition in such geographic differences, and about the factors affecting the nutritional status and hence the disease outcomes.Objective: Focusing on nutrition, we analyse the effects of soil type, used as an indicator of the farm-level agricultBackground: Child mortality differed greatly within rural regions in Europe before and during the mortality transition.

In a prospective study, peripheral pulses, claudication, peripheral oedema, and rest pain were evaluated in 314 sequentially presenting diabetic patients with foot ulcers. In the ulcerated limb pedal pulses were found to be present in 44% of the patients, peripheral oedema in 38%, and rest pain in 19%. Twelve per cent had claudication. Presence of pedal pulses was more common in patients whose ulc

BackgroundChild mortality differed greatly within rural regions in Europe before and during the mortality decline.

Aims: Since its outbreak in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has directly caused the premature death of millions. However, indirect consequences, such as social restrictions, have affected a far greater number. We explored the association between the spread of COVID-19 and end-of-life circumstances in the infected and non-infected population in Sweden. Methods: In this descriptive, population-based, ob

1997 beslutade Sveriges riksdag att lägga den så kallade ”Nollvisionen” till grund för trafiksäkerhetsarbetet i landet. Nollvisionen innebär att det skall bli säkrare för alla inblandade att vistas ute i trafiken. Man har satt upp ett mål att antalet trafikolyckor som resulterar i dödsfall och skador för livet skall minimeras. Denna målsättning vill man uppnå genom att bland annat: förbättra vägarIn the year 1997, the policy called Vision Zero (in Swedish: Nollvisionen) was introduced in Sweden. The guidelines within the policy are about making traffic and transport better as well as safer for all of those involved. This means that a goal has been set to decrease the number of serious traffic accidents where the victims are severely injured or killed. This goal is being carried out, among

This paper focuses on pricing of basket Credit Default Swaps. The credit market instruments such as CDSs and CDOs are introduced. The concepts of trading these derivatives in basket CDSs divided into tranches is also of big importance. Dierent pricing models are presented and compared. Those are Semi-Analytic Valuation model with a Copula approach used together with the methods compound and base c

It is well-known and experimentally conrmed that the mechanical re-sponse to loading of small enough structures diers from what applies to themacro-scale. This is valid for structures of linear measures at the nano-scale,typically below about 50nm. In addition to pure size eects also the crys-tallographic orientation becomes important at this scale. This study demon-strates the mechanical response

It will observe roughly one billion stars, quasars and other point like objects for which the five astrometric parameters (position, parallax and proper motion)
