Abstract In recent years, more intensive chemotherapy regimens for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) have been associated with prolongation of survival. In this study, our aim was to investigate prognostic factors and evaluate improvement in survival in MCL on a population level. The cohort included all patients diagnosed with MCL from 1 January 2000 to 31 March 2010 in the Swedish Lymphoma Registry. At

To study the causes of agricultural declines in south-west Sweden, a multi-proxy study including pollen analysis, bog surface wetness indicators and aeolian sediment influx reconstructions was carried out on the Store Mosse Bog, situated on the coastal plain of Halland. Patterns of agricultural changes during the past 6,000 years from this study were compared to one additional site on the coastal

The Struggle for a Women’s House. Ideological Dividing as Strategy or Remission?The Swedish shelter movement has on several occasions been disrupted due to bitter debates in the media. There appears to be a rift built in the movement. In this article I focus on the background to this by studying the formation of Stockholm’s first shelter for women in the late 1970s. In the struggle to get financiaThe Swedish shelter movement has on several occasions been disrupted due to bitter debates in the media. There appears to be a rift built in the movement. In this article I focus on the background to this by studying the formation of Stockholm's first shelter for women in the late 1970s. In the struggle to get financial support from the politicians it became clear that two different positions in t

We conducted an interlaboratory comparison between our radiocarbon-related research group at Lund University and the established ETH-Zurich facility to test the quality of the results obtained in Lund and to identify sources of potential background differences and scatter. We did find differences between the 2 laboratories in the contributions of chemical preparation, graphitization, and measureme

Introduction: The fight against maternal deaths has gained attention as the target date for Millennium Development Goal 5 approaches. Induced-abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal deaths in developing countries which hamper this effort. In Ghana, alcohol consumption and unwanted pregnancies are on the ascendancy. We examined the association between alcohol consumption and maternal mort

Photoreceptor cell death is the major hallmark of a group of human inherited retinal degenerations commonly referred to as retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Although the causative genetic mutations are often known, the mechanisms leading to photoreceptor degeneration remain poorly defined. Previous research work has focused on apoptosis, but recent evidence suggests that photoreceptor cell death may resu

A sensitive and selective amperometric biosensor, based on NADH-oxidase (NADOx) working in tandem with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which is electrically connected to graphite electrode via Os-redox polymer (RP), was developed. Two designs were considered for the biosensor optimization: (i) the first one, [G/HRP-NADOx], exploited the direct electron transfer between HRP and the graphite electrode

The PHENIX experiment has measured electrons from the decay of hadrons carrying heavy flavor (charm or bottom quarks) in p + p and Au + Au collisions at at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The strong damping of heavy-flavor motion through the medium is reflected in a substantial suppression at high pT and a large azimuthal anisotropy v2 of such electrons in Au + Au collisions at RHIC. B

The aim of the current study is to investigate whether Swedish secondary school students perceive mathematics as a female, male or gender-neutral domain. A sample of 1300 students in two age groups, 15- and 17-years, answered a questionnaire and about 50 students participated in interviews. The main part of the inquiry form consists of Who and mathematics, an attitude scale recently developed by o

A wall-jet microbial fuel cell (MFC) was developed for the monitoring of anaerobic digestion (AD). This biofilm based MFC biosensor had a character of being portable, short hydraulic retention time (HRT) for sample flow through and convenient for continuous operation. The MFC was installed in the recirculation loop of an upflow anaerobic fixed-bed (UAFB) reactor in bench-scale where pH of the ferm

Popular Abstract in Swedish Framsteg inom neonatal intensivvård har ökat överlevnaden hos extremt för tidigt födda barn. Prognosen för dessa barn är generellt god, men 15-20 % av drabbas av en större hjärnblödning där blod tränger in i hjärnans hålrum, vilket innebär en sämre prognos och en ökad dödlighet. Av barnen som överlever drabbas hälften av en ökad huvudomfångstillväxt på grund av en tilltIntraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is the most common brain lesion in preterm infants and is most commonly seen in the sickest children, with 15-20% of very preterm infants developing IVH. The mortality of infants with severe IVH is 20-50 % in the neonatal period and over 50 % of surviving infants develop post-haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) and 40-80 % develop severe neurological impai
