Visual Assessment of Brain Perfusion MRI Scans in Dementia: A Pilot Study.
Functional imaging is becoming increasingly important for the detection of neurodegenerative disorders. Perfusion MRI with arterial spin labeling (ASL) has been reported to provide promising diagnostic possibilities but is not yet widely used in routine clinical work. The aim of this study was to compare, in a clinical setting, the visual assessment of subtracted ASL CBF maps with and without addi
Composition of physiologically important fatty acids in great tits differs between urban and rural populations on a seasonal basis
Fatty acids (FA) have crucial functions in animals, affecting e.g. inflammatory responses, thermoregulation, and cell membrane fluidity. Diet and ambient temperature affect animals’ FA composition, which, in turn, may influence these physiological processes. Great tit (Parus major) −common in both urban and rural habitats− are mainly granivorous during winter and insectivorous during summer. These

Safety and tolerability of an immediate-release formulation of theoral direct thrombin inhibitor AZD0837 in the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation.
AZD0837 is an investigational oral anticoagulant which is converted to the active form, ARH067637, a selective direct thrombin inhibitor. The present study, a multicentre, randomised, parallel-group, dose-guiding study, assessed the safety and tolerability of an immediate-release formulation of AZD0837 compared with dose-adjusted warfarin in the prevention of stroke and systemic embolic events in
Gemcitabine chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer: Molecular mechanisms and potential solutions.
Ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma is associated with a very poor prognosis and most patients are given palliative care. Chemotherapy in the form of gemcitabine has been found to reduce disease-related pain, and the otherwise frequently occurring weight changes, to increase Karnofsky performance status and quality of life and has also resulted in a modest improvement in survival time. The intracellu
Vascular mechanical properties and endothelial function in pre-eclampsia with special reference to bilateral uterine artery notch.
OBJECTIVES: To assess whether women with pre-eclampsia (PE) have different properties of the blood vessel wall compared to healthy pregnant controls. Further, to evaluate endothelial function and vascular mechanical properties in women with PE with special regard to its association with bilateral uterine artery notch and placental histopathology. PARTICIPANTS: Some 57 Caucasian pregnant women: 23
Cerebral perfusion imaging in hemodynamic stroke: be aware of the pattern.
Summary: Reduction of the cerebral perfusion pressure caused by vessel occlusion or stenosis is a cause of neurological symptoms and border-zone infarctions. The aim of this article is to describe perfusion patterns in hemodynamic stroke, to give a practical approach for the assessment of colour encoded CT- and MR-perfusion maps and to demonstrate the clinical use of comprehensive imaging in the w

Screening of the ryanodine 1 gene for malignant hyperthermia causative mutations by high resolution melt curve analysis.
A diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia (MH) can be determined by performing an in vitro (muscle) contracture test (IVCT) or by identifying a known MH causative mutation in the ryanodine receptor 1 gene (RYR1). Genetic diagnosis has an advantage over IVCT because it is less invasive. Direct sequencing of the very large RYR1 coding region (15.117 bases) is a laborious and expensive task. In this stud
Monte Carlo calculations of absorbed doses in tumours using a modified MOBY mouse phantom for pre-clinical dosimetry studies.
Abstract Background. Clinical treatment with radionuclides is usually preceded by biokinetic and dosimetry studies in small animals. Evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy is essential and must rely on accurate dosimetry, which in turn must be based on a realistic geometrical model that properly describes the transport of radiation. It is also important to include the source distribution in the do
Subjective Outcomes after Knee Arthroplasty
Outcome questionnaires are increasingly being established as a validated mode of acquiring unbiased information on the results after health interventions. Using an assortment of questionnaires, distributed by mail to 27 372 and to a subgroup of 3 600 patients on file in the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty register (SKAR), relevant questionnaires were found to represent a feasable means of acquiring info
Pancreatic cancer and thromboembolic disease, 150 years after Trousseau.
The connection between pancreatic cancer and venous thrombosis has been discussed for almost 150 years. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms are still partly understood, but it is known that pancreatic cancer induces a prothrombotic and hypercoagulable state and genetic events involved in neoplastic transformation (e.g., KRAS, c-MET, p53), procoagulant factors [e.g., tissue factor (TF), platele

The Experience of Occupational Deprivation in an Asylum Centre: The Narratives of Three Men
This article presents a study of three asylum-seeking men from Iran and Afghanistan. It aimed to explore how and if they experienced occupations as occupations in a Danish asylum centre and how their life experience shaped their choice and value of current occupations. In-depth narrative interviews explored the participants’ occupational history and its influence on their occupations in the asylum
