AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Obesity during pregnancy increases offspring type 2 diabetes risk. Given that nearly half of women of child-bearing age in many populations are currently overweight/obese, it is key that we improve our understanding of the impact of the in utero/early life environment on offspring islet function. Whilst a number of experimental studies have examined the effect of maternal obesity
AbstractSevere perineal trauma (SPT) is a serious complication following vaginal birth. To reduce its incidence rate, various preventive strategies have been implemented in Swedish obstetric units. Collegial midwifery assistance (CMA), involving an additional midwife being present during the active second stage of labour, is a clinical practice that was evaluated in the Oneplus trial, which proved
Introduction Common complications after surgical procedures include surgical site infection, wound rupture and incisional hernia. Wound healing can be influenced by the technique for abdominal access and closure. A Suture-Length to Wound-Length (SL/WLr) ratio ≥ 4 is advised to achieve a high-quality wound closure. This thesis describes the background and clinical realities of abdominal wall relat
On 29 October 2023, Turkey will celebrate the centenary of the proclamation of the Republic. This promises to be a spectacular and carefully politized event, in line with earlier celebrations of National Days and other “defining moments” in the state’s autobiography (such as the conquest of Istanbul – celebrated in ever-aggrandising scale under the AKP-government). In official historiography, the
Importance: Depressive symptoms are associated with cognitive decline in older individuals. Uncertainty about underlying mechanisms hampers diagnostic and therapeutic efforts. This large-scale study aimed to elucidate the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology. Objective: To examine the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology and its dependency on age,
Background: Most actinide nuclides fission asymmetrically. A common explanation was that this division benefited from leading to fragments in the vicinity of the doubly magic 132Sn. It was tacitly assumed that lighter nuclides would all fission symmetrically because a similar situation could not occur there. However, a weakly asymmetric mass distribution was found for some preactinides at energies
I samband med att aktiebolag utbjuds till försäljning ställs en rad olika juridiska spörsmål på sin spets. Inför en företagsöverlåtelse bör köparen genomföra en företagsbesiktning avseende målbolaget innan transaktionen genomförs. Vid denna undersökning har både köparen och säljaren ett intresse av att målbolaget lämnar ut värdefull information, som i vissa fall kan vara konfidentiell, för att görAs a limited company is subject to an acquisition several legal issues arise. In connection with the acquisition the buyer should therefore carry out a due diligence before the transaction is completed. Both the seller and the buyer have an interest of that the target company is sharing valuable information, which could be confidential, in order to make a correct valuation of the target company. T

In 2007 more than a quarter (26%) of the South African adult population was functionally illiterate. As a result many non-profit organisations (NPOs) in South Africa strive to raise adult literacy levels. Adult illiteracy leads to problems such as, amongst others, high levels of unemployment, poverty and crime.Most NPOs do not practice strategic communication management to build strong, lasting an
Background Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. Methods For this an
Innovation plays an important role in organization survival and longevity. This is especially true in the retail industry; there is a growing acknowledgment of the role of innovation in retail practice, as maintaining the status quo might prove insufficient, especially for traditional retailers, in addressing the enormous challenges they are facing driven by technological developments and evolving
Melanoma of the skin is the sixth most common type of cancer in Europe and accounts for 3.4% of all diagnosed cancers. More alarming is the degree of recurrence that occurs with approximately 20% of patients lethally relapsing following treatment. Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer and metastases rapidly extend to the regional lymph nodes (stage 3) and to distal organs (stage 4)
The Antarctic temperature changes over the past millennia remain more uncertain than in many other continental regions. This has several origins: (1) the number of high-resolution ice cores is small, in particular on the East Antarctic plateau and in some coastal areas in East Antarctica; (2) the short and spatially sparse instrumental reco
