Transcranial cerebral oximetry related to transcranial Doppler after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage

Noninvasive methods for detecting cerebral artery vasospasm, still a serious complication following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, are of vital interest. Up-to-date transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) has proved to be sensitive in detecting vasospasm in the middle cerebral artery, but has less accuracy for other cerebral arteries. Transcranial cerebral oximetry (TCCO) is a new non-invasive

The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus complement control protein (KCP) binds to heparin and cell surfaces via positively charged amino acids in CCP1-2.

The Kaposi's, sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) complement control protein (KCP) inhibits the human complement system, and is similar in structure and function to endogenous complement inhibitors. Other inhibitors such as C4d-binding protein and factor H, as well as the viral homologue vaccinia virus complement control protein are known to bind heparin and, for the two latter, also to glycosam

Effects of topical formoterol alone and in combination with budesonide in a pollen season model of allergic rhinitis.

Background: beta(2)-Agonists may exert mast cell stabilizing and anti-plasma exudation effects. White available data suggest no or only marginal effects of beta(2)-agonists on symptoms of allergic rhinitis, little is known about whether these drugs may add to the efficacy of anti-rhinitis drugs. Objective: To examine effects of a beta(2)-agonist, alone and in combination with an intranasal glucoco

On methods for pattern recognition with application to epileptic electroencephalograms

Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektroencefalogrammet (EEG), dvs mätning av potentialer på skalpen, är en relativt enkel och gammal teknik för att studera hjärnans aktivitet. Trots de stora framstegen inom s k brain-mapping-tekniker på senare år (magnetröntgen, PET, SPECT), är EEG fortfarande ett viktigt verktyg för diagnos. En av dess fördelar gentemot andra tekniker är dess fina tidsupplösning. EtThe thesis treats methods for pattern recognition in multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, for application to diagnostics of epilepsy. Parts I-IV treat methods for feature extraction and clustering of EEG spikes, occurring between epileptic seizures, and part V presents a method for filtering seizure onset EEG signals. In part I, Hermite functions are used for parametric description of

Purification of IgD from human serum - A novel application of recombinant M. catarrhalis IgD-binding protein (MID).

Moraxella catarrhalis IgD-binding protein (MID) is a multimeric outer membrane protein belonging to the family of autotransporters. The IgD-binding domain of MID is located between amino acids MID 962-1200 and binds to amino acids 198-224 of the IgD C(H)1 region. In the present study, we describe a method to purify IgD from serum with high levels of IgD using a two-step affinity chromatography pro

Prediction of subjective response from objective measurements applied to walking sound

This paper discusses prediction of the subjective response to walking sound - also called drum sound - based on differences in objective measurements. 'Walking sound' refers to the sound heard when someone is walking in the same room as the listener. Walking sound has attracted interest in recent years, particularly due to an increased use of thin floating floor constructions, such as veneer or la

World Christianity and Inter-Religious Relations: Missionsvetenskap med Ekumenik:

The article discusses contemporary trends in the Mission and Ecumenical Studies in the context of World Christianity and Inter-Religious Relations. It engages with late 20th century scholarship, particularly relating to Christianity in Africa and Asia, and interacts with the paradigm-analysis of Mission Studies as advanced by David.J.Bosch in his Transforming Mission: Paradigm Shifts in Theology o

Permeability and mass transfer as a function of the cooking temperature during the frying of beefburgers

Intrinsic permeability of water in beefburgers made of different meat raw materials cooked at 50 degrees C, 60 degrees C, 70 degrees C and 80 'C was measured using an air-driven pressure cell, and it was found to be in the range of 6.8 x 10(-18) m(2) to 1.6 x 10(-16) m(2) for the temperature ranging from 50 degrees C to 80 degrees C. The highest permeability value was found in beefburgers prepared

Helicity dependence of the gamma p -> N pi channels and multipole analysis in the Delta region

A high-quality double-polarization data set for the helicity dependence of the total and differential cross-sections for both gammap --> Npi channels in the Delta region has been obtained in the framework of the GDH experiment. The experiment, performed at the Mainz microtron MAMI, used a 4pi detection system, a circularly polarized photon beam, and a longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target. T
