Antimicrobial textile structures are developed based on polypropylene (PP) and a natural material, hydrolyzed casein. The casein, from bovine milk, is subjected to acid hydrolysis in aqueous media, then blended into the PP matrix in the melt phase by extrusion. The obtained blend, containing 5 wt.% of hydrolyzed casein, is then processed by a melt ...

Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the major barrier to long-term survival following lung transplantation, and new mechanistic biomarkers are needed. Lymphocytic bronchitis (LB) precedes CLAD and has a defined molecular signature. We hypothesized that this LB molecular signature would be associated with CLAD in small airway brushings inde...
Bakgrund: I Sverige rekommenderas induktion i vecka 42+0, detta för att undvika överburenhet. Förlossningsvården i Sverige är i ständig förändring och sedan 1994 ses det en ökning av induktioner.

Gray matter (GM) atrophy associated with alcohol use disorders (AUD) affects predominantly the frontal lobes. Less is known how frontal lobe GM loss affects GM loss in other regions and how it influences drinking behavior or relapse after treatment. The profile similarity index (PSI) combined with graph analysis allows to assess how GM loss in one ...
