    Abstract : Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening condition that can appear in patients with diabetes. High ketones in the blood lead to acidity of the blood. For DKA diagnosis and management, ketones such as hydroxybutyrate (HB) can be used to quantify the severity of the disease. READ MORE

  4. 3. The apparent population crash in heath-hares Lepus timidus sylvaticus of southern Sweden : do complex ecological processes leave detectable fingerprints in long-term hunting bag records?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Alexander Winiger; [2014]
    Keywords : Lepus spp; Hunting bag time series; hyperpredation; competitive exclusion; Fennoscandia;

    Abstract : Scientific and circumstantial evidence of recent decades indicate decreasing population trends in the native mountain hares Lepus timidus of Fennoscandia (Finland, Sweden, Norway). It has been suggested that climate warming, habitat degradation, pathogens, predation and interspecific competition are potential candidates to drive this supposed decline. READ MORE
