Route optimization as an instrument to improve animal welfare and economics in pre-slaughter logistics
Each year, more than three million animals are transported from farms to abattoirs in Sweden. Animal transport is related to economic and environmental costs and a negative impact on animal welfare. Time and the number of pick-up stops between farms and abattoirs are two key parameters for animal welfare. Both are highly dependent on efficient and ...
A mathematical multiscale model of bone remodeling, accounting for pore space-specific mechanosensation
While bone tissue is a hierarchically organized material, mathematical formulations of bone remodeling are often defined on the level of a millimeter-sized representative volume element (RVE), “smeared” over all types of bone microstructures seen at lower observation scales. Thus, there is no explicit consideration of the fact that the biological c...
Real-time monitoring of contrast-enhanced ultrasound for radio frequency ablation
Published in Open Medicine
Background This study compared the realtime monitoring effects of conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) on evaluating radio frequency ablation (RFA) in a living swine liver model. Methodology Liver RFA was performed on 10 young swine. Conventional ultrasound and CEUS were performed immediately. After the animals were sacri...
Hepatitis C virus core protein targets 4E-BP1 expression and phosphorylation and potentiates Myc-induced liver carcinoge...
...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of liver diseases including the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Particularly, core protein has been involved in HCV-related liver pathologies. However, the impact of HCV core on signaling pathways supporting the genesis of HCC remains largely elusive. To decipher the host cell signaling path...

Construction of an in vivo carotid siphon model for testing endovascular devices for neuro-interventions.
Objective The aim of this study was to construct an in vivo carotid siphon model for testing neurovascular devices for endovascular interventions. Methods A model of a human carotid siphon was pre-shaped using a glass tube from a human cadaver and used to confine a segment of one side of the common carotid artery (CCA) in canines. This segment of C...
