The objective of the present study is to quantify risks of the subsequent cancers in CUP patients since such studies are lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A population-based cohort of CUP was identified from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database of year

Small leucine-rich proteoglycans/proteins (SLRPs) are associated with collagen fibril formation, and therefore important for the proper formation of extracellular matrices. SLRPs are differentially expressed in tissues and during pathological conditions, contributing to the development of connective tissue properties. The binding of SLRPs to collagens have recently been characterized, and may give

The number of scholarly blogs on the Web is increasing. In this article, a group of researchers are asked to describe the functions that their blogs serve for them as researchers. The results show that their blogging is motivated by the possibility to share knowledge, that the blog aids creativity, and that it provides a feeling of being connected in their work as researchers. In particular, the b

INTRODUCTION: As more patients survive coronary events, the prevalence of patients with refractory angina pectoris is increasing. The aim was to evaluate the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and compare with optimal medically treated patients with refractory angina. METHODS: 153 patients with refractory angina were treated with either EECP, SCS

The friction stir welding procedure to seal copper canisters requires variable power input throughout the 45 minute long weld cycle to keep the welding temperature within the process window. This is due to variable thermal boundary conditions throughout the weld cycle which, together with fast disturbances in the spindle torque, requires control of both the power input and the welding temperature

The Swedish concept of folkbildning (the ‘bildung’ of the people) and its introduction in the mid-1900th century was connected to the advent of Folkhögskolan (the popular adult education) with explicit as well as implicit references to the Danish philosopher Gruntvig’s ideals of education. The broad popular movement which the adult education ideals was incorporated into during the beginning of the

Emotion and perception are expressed in every language, but their linguistic analysis is surprisingly sparse at typological level. In this paper, an initial attempt is made to describe typological characteristics of emotion and perception and form an initial classification. Verbal constructions expressing emotion and perception normally have a slightly different argument structure in comparison wi
