Det mullrar kring läkemedel . Allt fler patienter kräver allt mer, samtidigt som läkemedelsföretagen utvecklar mer och mer avancerade mediciner. Åtminstone retoriskt är dessa tendenser varandras förutsättningar och förstärkningar. Men i praktiken kan mycket väl läkemedelsföretag och patienter vara på väg åt olika håll, i en gemensam omedvetenhet om att de ännu inte ens börjat leta efter någon före

Popular Abstract in Swedish När ett barn föds före graviditetsvecka 30 är andningsinsufficiens eller på engelska kallad respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) ett av de stora kliniska problemen som barnläkaren står inför. Redan på 1920-talet förstod man att det måste finnas ett ytspänningsnedsättande ämne i lungorna och på 1950-talet fann man att för tidigt födda (prematura) barn med RDS hade brist pUsing an animal model, the thesis explores how the initial ventilation of the lungs, and surfactant therapy, should best be managed after premature birth. Material and measurements: The studies were made in newborn lambs delivered by cesarean section. Spread of exogenous surfactant was analysed by mixing it with technetium-labelled macroaggregated human serum albumin and imaging the radioactivity

The main goal of SASPENCE is to develop and evaluate an innovative system able to perform the Safe Speed and Safe Distance concept, that means to help the driver in avoiding accident situations related to excessive speed or too small headway. So, the system should co-operate seamlessly with the driver, suggesting the proper velocity for the given condition (road structure, traffic situation, etc.)

Since some years ago greenhouse gases and especially carbon dioxide have become one of the most widely debated issues. To reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and nuclear waste, renewable energy sources as for example wind power plants have become very successful. These generation units are normally small compared to common thermal power plants and they are often placed distributed and connected

This paper presents a study of scholarly blogs. The aim is to gain an in-depth understanding of what characterizes blogging as part of the scholarly communication within epistemic cultures. A study was conducted of 16 scholarly blogs, from two different scientific areas. Eight blogs from high energy physics (HEP) and eight from digital history were closely followed. The analysis was made by employ

The thermal stresses in a concrete bridge are affected by the surrounding climate. Varying temperature will produce movements which, if restrained, may induce stresses in the structure. To predict the thermal stresses due to climatic effects in concrete box cross-sections, FE simulations have been performed with extensive climatic input data to simulate the temperature and resulting stress fields
