Avbildning med hjälp av magnetresonans (MR) är en teknik som används i klinisk diagnostik för att upptäcka och karakterisera en rad sjukdomstillstånd. Metoden baseras på en kombination av statiskt magnetfält, magnetfältsgradienter och pulsade radiofrekventa elektromagnetiska fält i en magnetkamera för avbildning av form och struktur (morfologi) samt vissa funktioner hos olika organ i kroppen.DiffuMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical imaging technique, used to detect and characterise a range of diseases and conditions. It is based on the use of a strong static magnetic field in combination with magnetic field gradients and pulsed radiofrequency electromagnetic fields to visualise various organs and structures in the body according to their morphology or function.Diffusion

Monocytes and macrophages are part of the body’s first line of defense, eliminating pathogens by phagocytosis or by releasing a broad array of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, chemokines and proteases. In humans, three subsets of monocytes are described with seemingly different functions. The classical (CD14++CD16-) monocytes, the intermediate (CD14++CD16+) monocytes and the non-classica

Arteriosclerosis with its clinical sequelae (cardiac infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial occlusive disease) and vascular/Alzheimer dementia not only result in far more than half of all deaths but also represent dramatic economic problems. The reason is, among others, that diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for both disorders, and the number of diabetics strongly increases worldwid

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ger en ökad fysisk aktivitet bland växande barn bättre skelett- och muskelutveckling och påverkar det i så fall frakturrisken? Benskörhet och låg benmassa medför en ökad risk för frakturer. Låg fysisk aktivitet är också en riskfaktor. En ökad frakturförekomst är i dag ett växande samhällsproblem, och med dessutom en åldrande population samt en generellt mindre fysiskt

The previous substantive test in Article 2(3) of the Merger Regulation 4064/89 had as its cornerstone the concept of dominance. The test that is also referred as dominance test, declared incompatible with the common market concentrations that would create or strengthen a dominant position as a result of which competition would be significantly impeded. The wording of the Article referred initially

The mast cell mediator histamine is involve in T2D pathogenicity Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder which is characterized by high glucose levels in blood and urine. Diabetes is one of the most expanding diseases in the world today. There are 2 major types of diabetes; type 2 diabetes (T2D) contributes with up to 90% of all diabetes subtypes. Patients with T2D compose up to 150 mill

Purpose: Yttrium-90 (Y-90) is one of the most commonly used radionuclides in targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT). Since it decays with essentially no gamma photon emissions, surrogate radionuclides (e.g., In-111) or imaging agents (e.g., Tc-99m MAA) are typically used for treatment planning. It would, however, be useful to image Y-90 directly in order to confirm that the distributions measured wit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom (PS) karaktäriseras av långsam celldöd i hjärnan och gradvis uppträder minskad rörlighet och muskelstelhet som mest framträdande symptom. PS drabbar ungefär 0.1% av befolkningen, och inträder oftast i femtio- till sextioårsåldern. Varför sjukdomen uppkommer är till stor del okänt, men man vet att de dopamin producerande cellerna i mitthjärnan (särskilParkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor deficits. Levodopa treatment provides marked symptomatic relief. However, within 5-10 years after the start of Levodopa treatment, most PD patients display a gradual loss of drug efficacy. Importantly, the neuropathology of PD is dominated by a marked loss of dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra.

Do women with Turner karyotype have increased mortality and morbidity in the years after childbirth? No mortality occurred during pregnancy and follow-up in women with Turner karyotype, but a higher rate of circulatory and endocrine diseases and a high risk of aortic aneurysm were confirmed. Pregnancies in women with Turner karyotype are high-risk pregnancies with an increased risk of maternal mor

The use of Penman-Monteith (PM) equation in thermal remote sensing based surface energy balance modeling is not prevalent due to the unavailability of any direct method to integrate thermal data into the PM equation and due to the lack of physical models expressing the surface (or stomatal) and boundary layer conductances (g(S) and g(B)) as a function of surface temperature. Here we demonstrate a

The purpose of this Master Thesis was to design an automatic separator, a machine that would separate organic from non-organic waste through a mechanical process. The use of a mechanical process was one of the target specifications given by WTM AB, the company that initiated the project. WTM is a small machine design company located in Ängelholm, Sweden, who designs machines for different kind of

Äger varje person rätt att bli förälder? Även om inte staten kan sägas vara skyldig att erbjuda behandling för att avhjälpa barnlöshet kan människor, efter känsla, resonera kring denna frågas rimlighet. Oavsett inställningen är en intressant följdfråga; i så fall till vilket pris? När man talar om surrogatarrangemang är det ofta just pris som på något sätt kommer på tal. Inte pris som i valutameniIs everyone entitled to a right to parenthood? People may have a sense of what should be potential common rights even in cases where the government cannot always be considered liable to offer help, as in supporting those suffering from infertility. As a supplementary question one can ask: into what considerations could the right to parenthood extend? When it comes to surrogate motherhood, amounts

Introduction: To remain competitive, industrial organisations are continually faced with the challenges to improve product quality, reduce product development time, reduce production costs and lead-times. Increasingly, these challenges cannot be effectively met by isolated changes to specific organizational units. The Supply Chainis a revolutionary concept embedded in a traditional guise. In b

In this project, we are studying the material flow and the information flow of sample materials and the appurtenant report of deviation for the purpose to be able to suggest better solutions. The sample material, which is to be analysed, is to be continuously taken from the production flow. The purpose is to navigate the process by the results found by the analysis. Because of this, it's very

The alarming rates of extinction and degrading ecosystems call for new means of understanding and accounting for how people depend on nature. Ecosystem services (ES) is a contested but widely applied concept aiming to connect ecosystem functions to human wellbeing and to assess and account for how nature matters in decision-making. More diverse frameworks and ideas of value intended for assessment
