Over the past few years, information technology has changed the way we live, work, and communicate with each other. The two outstanding trends of Internet and cellular telephony growth will now enter a new phase when the two technologies converge into 2.5 and 3G networks. The success of cellular telephony is due to the mobility factor, and the success of the Internet is due to its architecture, wh

(2004:5) Löser immaterialrättskonsumtion och tvångslicenser aidsproblem i världens länder? Denna artikel är en direkt uppföljning av 2003 års föreläsning för Nordisk Immaterialrättsförening och granskar om dagens immaterialrättssystem förhindrar att u-ländernas hälsokris kan lösas.

A Cochrane metaanalysis and a study performed on children have recently confirmed that therapeutic hypothermia does not improve outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is not comparable to a short episode of global ischemia, where therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome. The difference may be explained by the fact that hypothermia-induced stress after a traumatic b

Abstract Aims Myelinated nerve fibre pathology has been demonstrated at wrist level in diabetic patients. We examined if quantification of intra-epidermal nerve fibre density (IENFD) in hairy and glabrous skin at wrist level could detect signs of subclinical small nerve fibre neuropathy. Methods In 35 diabetic patients who were age and gender matched with 31 non-diabetic patients, punch biopsies w

Amplification of chromosomal region 11q13, containing the cell cycle regulatory gene CCND1, is frequently found in breast cancer and other malignancies. It is associated with the favourable oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumour phenotype, but also with poor prognosis and treatment failure. 11q13 spans almost 14 Mb and contains more than 200 genes and is affected by various patterns of cop
