Follow-up of the monitored levels of preservative sensitivity in Europe. Overview of the years 2001-2008.
Tissue Doppler in critical illness.
Thunderclap headache as the primary clinical feature of a supratentorial embolic cerebral infarct.
Rabbit cortical bone tissue increases its elastic stiffness but becomes less viscoelastic with age
Abstract in Undetermined Bone is dynamic tissue undergoing changes in its composition, structure and functional properties during growth. It has been proposed that especially changes in the collagen phase of bone are responsible for making the bone more fragile, and potentially less viscoelastic with age. Hence, robust methods to measure viscoelasticitiy are needed. This study aimed to characteriz
Which psychological method is most effective for group treatment?
Abstract While outcome studies in pediatric obesity have received considerable attention, research on different components of effective interventions remains limited. Little is known which psychological method (i.e., behavior modification, cognitive behavior therapy and family therapy) is most useful or how the choice of program delivery (group/individual) influences the intervention outcomes. Gro
Cognitive dysfunction 24-31 years after isolated optic neuritis.
Objective Cognitive dysfunction is common in multiple sclerosis (MS), but long-term data on cognition in patients with clinically isolated syndromes are sparse. Methods We determined cognitive functions in 22 patients 44-75 years old diagnosed with optic neuritis 24-31 years earlier but had no further clinical bouts and had not progressed clinically to MS. We used a neuropsychological test battery
Atherosclerotic plaques in the internal carotid artery and associations with lung function assessed by different methods.
Background: Previous studies on associations between reduced lung function and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have mainly been based on forced expiratory volume in 1-s (FEV(1) ) and vital capacity (VC). This study examined potential associations between five different lung function variables and plaques in the internal carotid artery (ICA). Methods: Subjects (n = 450) from a previous population-base
Statistical methods for identifying conserved residues in multiple sequence alignment.
The assessment of residue conservation in a multiple sequence alignment is a central issue in bioinformatics. Conserved residues and regions are used to determine structural and functional motifs or evolutionary relationships between the sequences of a multiple sequence alignment. For this reason, residue conservation is a valuable measure for database and motif search or for estimating the qualit
Leisure time physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of preterm delivery.
OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to study the association between the times spent on sports activities and leisure time physical activity in the first and early second trimester of pregnancy and the risk of preterm delivery. STUDY DESIGN: Population-based follow-up study of 5749 healthy pregnant women who delivered in Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. RESULTS: Women who practiced more than
Perturbed Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF Binding Protein-3 Are Not Associated with Chronic Widespread Pain in Men: Results from the European Male Ageing Study.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether perturbations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) were associated with the presence of chronic widespread pain (CWP) in men. METHODS: The European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) is an 8-center population-based study of men aged 40-79 years recruited from population registers. A questionnaire asked about the presence and duration of
The Double Life of John Hutchinson or Bringing Ethnosymbolism and Postmodernism Together
Risk of venous thromboembolism in first- and second-generation immigrants in Sweden.
There are ethnic differences in the incidence of venous thromboembolism. This is the first nationwide study to examine whether there is an association between country of birth in first-generation immigrants and first hospitalisation for venous thrombosis (VT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and to study whether a similar association exists in second-generation immigrants.
Reading Comprehension and Working Memory Capacity in Children with Hearing Loss and Cochlear Implants or Hearing Aids
Reading comprehension and three aspects of working memory—general, visuospatial and phonological—was assessed in 41 children with hearing loss: 23 with cochlear implants and 18 with hearing aids. Performance on these tests was compared between the two groups of children with hearing loss and also related to that of 55 children with typical hearing. All children were between 6 and 14 years of age.
Swedish book history research 1990-2005
A survey, admittedly selective and personal, of the literature of research into various aspects of the history of the book in Sweden from 1990. With bibliographical notes.
The Literary Genre and Purpose of Justin’s Second Apology: A Critical Review with Insights from Ancient Epistolography
Geochronology of eclogite facies metamorphism in the Sveconorwegian Province of SW Sweden
High Myc pathway activity and low stage of neuronal differentiation associate with poor outcome in neuroblastoma.
The childhood cancer neuroblastoma arises in the developing sympathetic nervous system and is a genotypically and phenotypically heterogeneous disease. Prognostic markers of poor survival probability include amplification of the MYCN oncogene and an undifferentiated morphology. Whereas these features discriminate high- from low-risk patients with precision, identification of poor outcome low- and
The effect of memantine on sleep behaviour in dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease dementia.
OBJECTIVE: Two common and characteristic sleep disturbances have been described in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD); excessive daytime sleepiness and REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). This study is an analysis of a secondary outcome measure of a larger study already reported, aimed to determine whether memantine has an effect on the sleep disturbances in DLB
Regulation of AMP-activated protein kinase by cAMP in adipocytes: Roles for phosphodiesterases, protein kinase B, protein kinase A, Epac and lipolysis.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an important regulator of cellular energy status. In adipocytes, stimuli that increase intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) have also been shown to increase the activity of AMPK. The precise molecular mechanisms responsible for cAMP-induced AMPK activation are not clear. Phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) is a critical regulator of cAMP signaling in adipocytes. Here we
