The gross motor function and disabilities in children with cerebral palsy in southern Sweden were investigated and related to clinical features. The study covered the birth year period 1990-1993 and comprised 167 children, 145 of them born in Sweden and 22 born abroad. The clinical features and gross motor function were analysed at a mean age of 6.8 y. Clinical features were obtained from a contin

A 9-year-old boy sustained a Salter-Harris Type IV fracture in the proximal tibia. the injury resulted in a progressive valgus deformity, detected already after 3 months by roentgen stereophotogrammetry. After temporary stapling medially, the growth rate increased laterally and the deformity was corrected. Unilateral stapling is an alternative procedure for correcting angular deformity following a

Growth during adolescence was analyzed in 40 children with slipped capital femoral epiphysis using the Infancy Childhood Puberty growth model. the advantage of this model is that reference values for height can be adjusted for the individual age at pubertal maturation. In both sexes an above average height was found before the onset of the pubertal growth spurt. However, the pubertal gain in heigh

Summary: The longitudinal growth rates of the distal fibula were measured, using a roentgen stereophotogrammetric method, in 32 children treated for slipped capital femoral epiphysis and compared with growth rates in a series of normal children. The growth rates in patients were similar to the growth rates in normal children, in both boys and girls. However, at the time of slippage, 13 patients ha

Five hundred thirty-two cases of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (physiolysis colli femoris - PCF) treated at three orthopedic departments in southern Sweden between 1910 and 1982 were used for epidemiologic studies. Three hundred twenty-five cases came from a well-defined area and were used for incidence analyses. During the whole period of investigation, the disease was more common in men than

Grafted neurons obtained from the fetal basal forebrain can provide a functional cholinergic reinnervation of the hippocampal formation in rats with a lesion of the intrinsic septal cholinergic afferents. In the present experiments graft-derived acetylcholine release in the hippocampus was studied by microdialysis in awake rats during different types of behaviours which are known to activate the i

Grafts of Embryonic Day 14-15 basal forebrain tissue (medial septal/diagonal band nuclei) were transplanted into an aspirative fimbria-fornix cavity or the hippocampus of young adult rats. After extended periods of survival (1 and 2 years) the grafts were examined with immunocytochemical probes to identify specific types of neurons and assess the (spatial) distribution of the phosphorylated heavy

In the present study the microdialysis technique has been used as a tool for the study of functional regulation of intracerebrally grafted cholinergic and monoaminergic neurons as well as for the analysis of graft-host interactions. Fetal noradrenergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic, and cholinergic neurons were transplanted into the hippocampus or striatum previously denervated of their intrinsic mo

The activity of intrahippocampal transplants of cholinergic neurons was monitored by microdialysis in awake, freely moving rats. Fetal septal-diagonal band tissue was implanted into rats with a complete transection of the fimbria-fornix cholinergic pathway either as a cell suspension injected into the hippocampus or as a solid graft implanted in the lesion cavity. The grafts restored baseline acet

The present experiment was performed to determine whether different types of grafted central cholinergic neurons are able to form synaptic contacts with host hippocampal neurons. Grafts from the septal-diagonal band area, which contain the neurons that normally innervate the hippocampal formation, were compared to those from the nucleus basalis magnocellularis region (NBM), the striatum, the ponto

The design of robust and inexpensive molecular photocatalysts for the conversion of abundant stable molecules like H 2 O and CO 2 into an energetic carrier is one of the major fundamental questions for scientists nowadays. The outstanding challenge is to couple single photoinduced charge separation events with the sequential accumulation of redox equivalents at the catalytic unit for performing m

We measured the cross section and response functions for the quasielastic 16O(e,e′p) reaction for missing energies 25≤Em≤120MeV at missing momenta Pm≤340MeV/c. For 25

We present measurements of the recoil proton polarization for the d(→γ,→p)n reaction at θc.m.=90° for photon energies up to 2.4 GeV. These are the first data in this reaction for polarization transfer with circularly polarized photons. The induced polarization py vanishes above 1 GeV, contrary to meson-baryon model expectations, in which resonances lead to large polarizations. However, the polariz

This paper presents a 16-lane, 16-bit complex application-specific instruction processor (ASIP) for baseband processing in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). The architecture utilizes a 3/4-way very large instruction word (VLIW) with highly efficient pre- and post-processing units specifically trimmed for massive MIMO requirements. Architecture optimizations include features like singl
