Compression of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus by a cervical rib in two adolescent girls: case reports and surgical treatment.

ABSTRACT: Presence of a cervical rib in children is extremely rare, particularly when symptoms of compression of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus occur. We present two cases with such a condition, where two young girls, 11 and 16 years of age were treated by resection of the cervical rib after a supraclavicular exploration of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus. The procedure led to succe

Physical attractiveness stereotype and memory.

Rasmussen, A. & Rohner, J.-C. (2011). Physical attractiveness stereotype and memory. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. Three experiments examined explicit and implicit memory for information that is congruent with the physical attractiveness stereotype (i.e. attractive-positive and unattractive-negative) and information that is incongruent with the physical attractiveness stereotype (i.e. at

Stored energies in electric and magnetic current densities for small antennas

Electric and magnetic currents are essential to describe electromagnetic-stored energy, and the associated antenna Q and the partial directivity to antenna Q-ratio, D/Q, for arbitrarily shaped structures. The upper bound of previous D/Q results for antennas modelled by electric currents is accurate enough to be predictive. This motivates us to develop the analysis required to determine upper and/o

Ungdomsarbetslösheten - om övergångsregimer, institutionell förändring och socialt kapital

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varför är arbetslösheten bland ungdomar i Sverige tre gånger högre än arbetslösheten bland 25-64 åringar? Har kontakter och nätverk betydelse för ungdomsarbetslösheten? Den tes som drivs i denna avhandling menar att kontakter i form av överbryggande socialt kapital har betydelse för ungdomars möjlighet att få jobb och att ungdomars brist på socialt kapital leder till atYouth unemployment in Sweden has reached record levels during the first decade of the 21st century. In 1970, the unemployment rate for 20-24 year olds was approximately 2%. Now, forty years later, this rate has risen to 20%. Relative youth unemployment (youth unemployment in relation to unemployment for the 25-64 year olds) has also risen. Today, the unem¬ployment rate for 20-24 year olds is three

Construct validity of a health questionnaire intended to measure the subjective experience of health among patients in mental health services.

Mental health services have been lacking systematic health-promoting activities, and health is often perceived as the absence of disease from a biomedical perspective. It is vital to develop methods to assess perceived health among patients in a broader perspective. The aim of the study was to investigate construct validity of a newly developed health questionnaire intended to measure subjectively

Kidnapparna

This article deals with pseudo-feminist and pseudo gay friendly rhetorics of the European - and specifically Scandinavian - right wing parties. The point of departure for the discussion in this article is Judith Butler's book Frames of War (2009) that problematizes the misuse of feminist and gay friendly rhetorics of the European right wing populist and xenophobic parties.

The socio-technical design of a library and information science collaboratory

Introduction. We present a prototype collaboratory, a socio-technical platform to support sharing research data collection instruments in library and information science. No previous collaboratory has attempted to facilitate sharing digital research data collection instruments among library and information science researchers. Method. We have taken a socio-technical approach to design, which inclu

Clinical Factors Associated with Intracranial Complications after Pediatric Traumatic Head Injury: An Observational Study of Children Submitted to a Neurosurgical Referral Unit.

Background: Clinically validated guidelines for the management of head injury in children do not exist, and the treatment is often based upon adult management routines. In order to examine the safety of this procedure, an analysis of clinical factors associated with complications after pediatric head injury was attempted. Method: We performed a descriptive retrospective study, including patients w

Detection of adenocarcinoma in Barrett's oesophagus by means of laser induced fluorescence

Patients-Seven patients with Barrett's metaplastic epithelium and oesophageal adenocarcinoma were investigated by means of laser induced fluorescence after low dose intravenous injection (0 . 35 mg/kg bw) of Photofrin (QLT, Vancouver, Canada). Laser induced fluorescence measurements were performed immediately after resection of the oesophagus. Methods-Laser induced fluorescence spectra were record
