PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to test a model proposing that the relationship between personality factors and women's quality of life (QoL) is mediated by degree of depression and the way in which every day activity and general health were appraised. Specifically, the paper addressed the mediating contribution of activity. METHODS: A sample of 488 women, 38 or 50 years old, filled out questio

Background: Relatives of people with a mental illness who live together can experience additional burdens that may require support. A Web-based tool including a psychoeducation module, a diary, and a password-protected forum was developed to support relatives of a person with depression. Objective: The objective of our study was to explore participants' use of the Web-based tool, with focus on the

BACKGROUND: Following a peripheral nerve repair the injured nerve has to re-innervate its original cortical area, a process, which is poorly understood. Errors in this cortical re-innervation have been suggested as one key reason for the generally poor clinical outcome following nerve injuries in the hand. METHOD: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to assess cortical reintegrati

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether Ritgen's maneuver decreases the risk of third- to fourth-degree perineal tears compared with simple perineal support. METHODS: A total of 1,623 nulliparous women in term labor, singleton pregnancy, and cephalic presentation were randomly assigned to Ritgen's maneuver or standard care. Ritgen's maneuver denotes extracting the fetal head, using one hand to pull the

Reaction of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-(2-picolyl) glycine (H(2)papy) with VOSO(4) in water gives the oxidovanadium(V) oxido-bridged dimer [{(papy)(VO)}(2) μ-O)] (1). Similarly, reaction of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl) glycine (H(2)glysal) with VOSO(4) gives [(glysal)VO(H(2)O)] (2) and reaction of salicylamide (Hsalam) with VOSO(4) in methanol gives [(salam)(2)VO] (3). The crystal structure of the oxido-bridged

Large software organizations with a product line development approach face many challenges regarding testing. Test managers need to make tradeoffs along three dimensions of repeated testing (abstraction level, time and product space) and consider a range of goals and constraints. In order to keep pace with the decreased development time for new products, which is enabled by the systematic reuse, s

A customized image processor for real time convolution of an image has been developed. Image convolution requires an extensive amount of calculation capacity and I/O communication which is hard to sustain with standard processors in real time. Therefore, a customized processor has been designed with a tailored architecture. The processors have a total sustained calculation capacity of >2G arithmet

An eight-channel, 1 ns bin-size, 23 b dynamic range, single-chip, multihit, time-to-digital converter (TDC) is presented in this paper. A new architecture mixing two previous TDC realizations has been adopted. The chip can execute common-start or common-stop operations on the trailing, leading, or both transitions of the input channels; it stores at least 32 events/channel with a double-hit resolu

Objective. To study frequency of dose escalation in infliximab-treated patients and to identify possible predictors thereof. Methods. Patients with chronic arthritis initiating their first course of anti-TNF treatment with infliximab at Lund University Hospital were included in a structured clinical follow-up protocol. Information on diagnosis, drug dosage, disease duration, previous and ongoing D
