    • OBJECTIVE: To assess female sex hormone related variables in a group of women with biopsy positive giant cell arteritis and a control group. METHODS: 49 women with biopsy positive giant cell arteritis, aged 50 to 69 years at the time of diagnosis, answered a questionnaire on hormonal and reproductive factors. The same questions were answered by a large population of women from the same geographical area in connection with routine mammograms. The results were tested statistically, using logistic regression analysis of each variable adjusted for age, and a multivariate logistic regression analysis including age and the variables which differed significantly between giant cell arteritis and controls. RESULTS: From the multivariate logistic regression analysis, three independent variables were associated with an increased risk of having giant cell arteritis: smoking and being an ex-smoker (odds ratio (OR) = 6.324 (95% confidence interval (CI), 3.503 to 11.418), p<0.0001); body mass index (a reduction of 1.0 kg/m2 increased the risk by 10% (OR = 0.898 (0.846 to 0.952), p = 0.0003); and menopause before the age of 43 (OR = 3.521 (1.717 to 7.220), p = 0.0006). CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant association between hormonal and reproduction related factors and the risk of developing giant cell arteritis in women given the diagnosis before the age of 70. The results suggest a possible role of oestrogen deficiency in the pathogenesis of giant cell arteritis. To confirm the results, an extended study will be needed, including women older than 70.

  • Radial tunnel diodes based on InP/InGaAs core-shell nanowires
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Applied Physics Letters. - : AIP Publishing. - 0003-6951 .- 1077-3118. ; 110:11
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We report on the fabrication and characterization of radial tunnel diodes based on InP(n+)/InGaAs(p+) core-shell nanowires, where the effect of Zn-dopant precursor flow on the electrical properties of the devices is evaluated. Selective and local etching of the InGaAs shell is employed to access the nanowire core in the contact process. Devices with an n+-p doping profile show normal diode rectification, whereas n+-p+ junctions exhibit typical tunnel diode characteristics with peak-to-valley current ratios up to 14 at room temperature and 100 at 4.2 K. A maximum peak current density of 28 A/cm2 and a reverse current density of 7.3 kA/cm2 at VSD = −0.5 V are extracted at room temperature after normalization with the effective junction area.
