Background: The Autism- Tics, ADHD and other Comorbidities inventory (A-TAC) has been validated in epidemiological data. However, validation against clinical diagnostic assessments in a population-based sample has been lacking, limiting the implications for clinical practice, clinical research and public health decisions. Methods: Study participants were recruited from the longitudinal Child and A
Chaperone proteins are essential for maintaining proteostasis. Their main role is to assist with the folding of other proteins and to prevent the aggregation of misfolded proteins. The molecular chaperone DNAJB6b efficiently suppresses amyloid formation of several peptides. This activity may rely on the same physicochemical properties as those driving chaperone self-assembly into large micellar-li
Background: Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is a severe opportunistic infection affecting immunocompromised patients. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is widely used for the detection of P. jirovecii in respiratory samples. However, the diagnosis of PCP remains challenging and the high prevalence of P. jirovecii airway colonisation complicates the interpretation of positive res
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most common extrapulmonary complication in CF. CFRD is associated with low lung function, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to compare airway inflammation and the airway proteome in people with CF (pwCF) with and without CFRD.Methods: Sputum samples from pwCF were analysed for neutro
Leucine-rich repeat containing 15 (LRRC15) has emerged as an attractive biomarker and target for cancer therapy. Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) induces the expression of this plasma membrane protein specifically in aggressive and treatment resistant tumor cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells, with minimal expression observed in non-neoplastic tissues. We have developed a humanized monocl
This paper describes a measurement of the jet radius dependence of the dijet momentum balance between leading back-to-back jets in Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions collected in 2018 and Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions collected in 2017 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Both datasets were collected at Formula Presented TeV. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-Fo
Tau hyperphosphorylation, a key neuropathological feature of tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), also occurs physiologically during mammalian hibernation and is fully reversed upon arousal, offering a unique translational model to study tau metabolism. However, limited data exist on insoluble and soluble tau alterations during hibernation and on patterns of tau fragment concentrations in
The IFMIF-DONES facility provides a very high intensity flux of neutrons for research on materials of future fusion reactors and other complementary applications. The generation of those neutrons is driven by stripping reactions between energetic deuteron particles and a liquid lithium jet. The requirements on the deuteron beam are to deliver a 40 MeV beam with a constant current of 125 mA. All th
Recent self-reported and cross-sectional survey evidence documents high levels of mental health problems among PhD students. We study the relationship between PhD studies and mental health care utilization using Swedish administrative records of prescriptions for psychiatric medication for the full population of PhD students. We find that prior to starting their PhD studies, prospective students u
The preparation of ultra-thin PtSn-alloyed layers by molecular beam epitaxy was studied using low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and micro-diffraction (μ-LEED). Deposition at a sample temperature of 435 °C initially results in the formation of a Pt3Sn/Pt(111) layer showing a (2 × 2) reconstruction. With continued Sn deposition, a Pt2Sn/Pt(111) layer develops, showing a (3×3)R30° reconstruction.
Rhesus macaques (RMs) are a vital model for studying human disease and invaluable to pre-clinical vaccine research, particularly for the study of broadly neutralizing antibody responses. Such studies require robust genetic resources for antibody-encoding genes within the immunoglobulin (IG) loci. The complexity of the IG loci has historically made them challenging to characterize accurately. To ad
Capacities for source localization in response to incidents involving radioactive materials are essential for effective, efficient response. In this context, the directional response of a detection system is of importance. Many solutions currently employed for source localization involve approaches that may be onerous with respect to cost, complexity and practicality for field operations. To avoid
Vid de arkeologiska utgrävningarna av franciskankonventet på Lilla torg i Halmstad påträffades många gravar, däribland en man som hade fått ett stort svärd med sig i graven. Han låg begravd bredvid en kvinna och en yngling . I artikeln undersöks vem denne man kan ha varit, hans släktband och sociala omständigheter samt varför han begravts just på denna plats. De tre gravlagda kopplas till den dan
Objectives: The objective was to explore if adverse events during radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer were associated with oncological outcomes. A further objective was to identify risk factors for adverse events. Methods: A post-hoc study nested in a prospective, controlled trial of radical prostatectomy by robot assisted laparoscopic or open retropubic approach in Sweden. Adverse events du
Multiple cropping, the simultaneous cultivation of several crops in space or time, is a global practice essential for intensifying and diversifying agriculture. Despite its substantial impact on environmental and socioeconomic outcomes of farming, multiple cropping is hardly accounted for in assessments of global food production, sustainability, and climate impacts. Such studies, often relying on
Pancreatic cancer continues to be a major cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Characterizing the tumors of long-term survivors (≥5 years survival) would create opportunities in prognostic and therapeutic strategies. In this study, RNA sequencing data was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in tumors of long-term survivors (LTS) vs short-term survivors (STS). Using LASSO-Cox regres
With the rapid growth of mobile communication systems, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology plays a key role in enhancing communication systems to meet growing data traffic demands. However, scaling the technology further challenges the system designers to balance design tradeoffs in order to provide efficient and low-cost communication systems. This requires efficient hardware
