The aim of this paper is to present and discuss nurses' and physicians' comments in a questionnaire relating to patients' transition from curative treatment to palliative care. The four-page questionnaire relating to experiences of and attitudes towards communication, decision-making, documentation and responsibility of nurses and physicians and towards the competence of patients was developed and
Immunoglobulins (Ig), particularly IgE, are believed to be crucially involved in the pathogenesis of asthma and, equally, in allergic models of the disease. To validate this paradigm we examined homozygous mutant C57BL/6 mice, which are B cell deficient, lacking all Ig. Mice were immunized intraperitoneally with 10 micrograms ovalbumin (OVA) plus alum, followed by daily (day 14-20) 30 min exposure
Objectives. To evaluate the incidence of coronary events (CE) and case fatality in relation to common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid plaque over a median follow up of 7 years. Subjects. A total of 5163 Swedish middle-aged men and women with no prior myocardial infarction and/or stroke. Methods and results. The associations amongst B-mode ultrasound determined common carotid IMT
Rapporten redovisar hur olika faktorer påverkar putsens egenskaper. De faktorer som undersökts är bindemedelstyp, underlagets vattensugning, härdningsklimat och -tid. De egenskaper hos putsen som studerats är karbonatiseringsgrad, e-modul, hållfasthet samt vittringsbeständighet.
The finely-tuned increases and decreases in the intracellular calcium levels in myocytes ultimately regulate the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Therapeutic agents can improve or interfere with this delicate balance. Calcium sensitizers enhance cardiac contraction by improving the use of calcium that is available, rather than by inundating the cell with excessive calcium, as is the case w
Ännu en skånsk höstmorgon. Om framtiden är nu, så är den vacker. Inga större problem att vakna. Problemet är väl snarare att stiga upp. Ryggen är som vanligt lite stel. Tänk att jag varit pensionär i ett halvår. Många tyckte jag gick tidigt som 73-åring. Själv hade jag hela tiden haft 2040 som en gräns. Nu blev det ett år tidigare. Skönt. Som vanligt på morgonkvisten far tankarna fritt, många snur
Radiative lifetimes of 15 Tl I levels belonging to the 6s(2)ns(2)S(1/2) (n = 7-14) and 6s(2)nd(2)D(3/2) Rydberg series (n = 6-12) have been measured using a time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique. All the measured levels have been excited from the ground state 6s(2)6p(2)P(1/2)(0) (odd parity) with a single-step excitation process. The general perturbation of the ns series by the 6s6p(2
A longitudinal research project began in 1993 of Norwegian, Swedish and American mothers' perception of her family's dynamics and adaptation during childbearing and childrearing. Results indicated that Swedish mothers adapted better than other mothers. In 2003, a mixed design study was conducted with original Swedish mothers that aimed to describe the experience of motherhood, the meaning mothers
OBJECTIVE: To study genital symptoms and signs in women with vulvar pain, and the association with potential risk factors such as microbiological agents, sexual behaviour and genital hygiene. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study of apparently healthy women attending for contraceptive advice. SETTING: Two family planning clinics and one youth clinic in Sweden. POPULATION: Out of 996 women recruited, 79
Purpose: While we have recently detected neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) immunoreactivity in a heterogeneous population of human male urethral striated muscle, to our knowledge the association of nNOS in the female counterpart is unknown. We investigated the association of nNOS with female urethral striated muscle and re-investigated muscle fiber types. Materials and Methods: Cryostat sectio
In an approach to helical self-aggregation, C-2-symmetric cavity compounds based on the fusion of the bicyclo[3.3.1] nonane and indole framework and incorporating two 2-pyridone hydrogen-bonding motifs, compounds (-)-4 (pyrrole N-butyl) and (-)-5 (pyrrole N-decyl), have been synthesized. The 2-pyridone AD-DA hydrogen-bonding motif failed to operate in the solid state as demonstrated by X-ray diffr

Local vibrational mode (LVM) spectroscopy is used to explore the effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HP) on the formation of small oxygen-related clusters (dimers, trimers, thermal donors, and C-O complexes) at 450degreesC and 650degreesC in Cz-Si crystals with different impurity content and prehistory. It is found, in agreement with previous studies, that HP enhances the oxygen clustering in Cz-
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie undersöker hur talparagrafen (le paragraphe oral), såsom den definierats av Morel och Danon-Boileau 1998, struktureras och används i L1 franska, i L1 svenska och i L2 franska hos två svenska avancerade inlärare. Den undersökta korpusen består av sju informella och spontana endolingvala och exolingvala samtal. Studien är både kontrastiv och longitudinell i dThis study examines the structure and the use of the speech paragraph (le paragraphe oral), as defined by Morel and Danon-Boileau 1998, in L1 French, in L1 Swedish and in the L2 French production of two advanced Swedish learners. The corpus examined consists of seven informal spontaneous endolingual and exolingual conversations. The study is not only contrastive, but also longitudinal, in the sens
