The neurons in the ventral mesencephalon (VM) are organized into several nuclei consisting of distinct neuronal populations. These include the dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substania nigra and ventral tegmental area, the oculomotor (OM) neurons that innervate the muscles controlling eye movement, and the reticular neurons of the red nucleus (RN) involved in motor control and coordination review
Hemophilia has evolved from an often fatal hereditary bleeding disorder to a disorder for which safe and effective treatment is available. However, there are several challenges remaining in the treatment of hemophilia. Prophylaxis to prevent bleeding is costly and requires frequent intravenous injections, which are cumbersome for patients. Venous access is often difficult to achieve, especially in
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to observe sickness absence before and after the cancer diagnosis among cancer patients with five common forms of cancer. METHODS: Using cohort data, we observed sick leave in the pre- and post-diagnostic phase among patients with colon, rectal, breast, prostate, or lung cancer (n = 2,738). We also identified reference subjects without cancer (total n = 12,24
OBJECTIVE:: We aimed to test whether eight common recently identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), strongly associated with blood pressure (BP) in the population, also have impact on the degree of BP reduction by antihypertensive agents with different mechanisms. METHODS:: In 3863 Swedish hypertensive patients, we related number of unfavorable alleles of each SNP (i.e. alleles associa
This text describes the ongoing establishment of media history at Lund University and reflects on its two-front strivings. The birth of media history as a proper, albeit small, discipline within the ordinary structure of the faculty, from graduate level to PhD studies, was very much a matter of chance, and easy enough to achieve. Whether this institutionalisation actually will be productive for th
A comprehensive study was conducted to monitor the emission potential from solid waste landfilled in Jordan over a period of 292 days using an anaerobic lysimeter. A 30 kg waste sample reflecting the typical municipal solid waste (MSW) streams generated in Jordan was used to simulate the influence of climate on the emission potential of landfills located in semi-arid areas. The experimental result
