Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of a newly developed 10% liquid immunoglobulin preparation in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases. This new preparation for intravenous use includes three dedicated virus clearance steps in its manufacturing process to ensure a high margin of viral safety. Materials and Methods Thi

High spin states in the nucleus Tc-90 have been identified for the first time via the fusion evaporation reaction (Ni(Ar,3pn)Tc)-Ni-58-Ar-36-Tc-90, at 149 MeV beam energy. The OSIRIS spectrometer with an additional high purity Ge detector at 162-degrees and several particle detectors were used to measure gammagamma and particle-gammagamma coincidences, directional correlations of oriented states (

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of co-morbidity and polypharmacy among elderly, and how these variables were associated with the need of help with activities in daily living. The study revealed that co-morbidity and polypharmacy were common, and that both variables were significantly correlated with personal activities in daily living as well as to instrumental activities i

Reaction between a mixture of cis-trans-[PtCl2(SMe2)(2)] and 1 eqiv. AsPh3 in chloroform gives Cis-[PtCl2(SMe2)(AsPh3)] crystallizing in P2(1)/n with a = 10.397(2), b = 14.876(3), c = 13.956(3) Angstrom, beta = 90.86(3)degrees and Z = 4. Selected geometrical parameters are Pt-As 2.3531(10), Pt-S 2.262(2), Pt-Cl (trans to S) 2.301(2), Pt-Cl (trans to As) 2.328(2) Angstrom and S-Pt-As 88.85(6), S-Pt

The accuracy and precision of holographic interferometry as a method to measure diffusion coefficients in gels are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The standard deviations in the experimentally determined diffusion coefficient for ethanol in 4% (w/v) agarose gel were 3.3% for diffusion into the gel and 6.1% for diffusion out of the gel. These are in good agreement with the stand

Eleven monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) directed against the immunoregulatory plasma glycoprotein alpha 1-microglobulin were characterized. The MoAb were produced in mice immunized with a mixture of alpha 1-microglobulin homologues from man, guinea pig, rat and rabbit. Using radioimmunoassay, western blotting, affinity chromatography, and Scatchard analysis, the affinities and binding sites of the MoA

The potential risk for consumers to be exposed to banned azo dyes in leather is strong motivation for the development of an analytical test procedure with improved accuracy. The currently most accepted analytical procedure for this application, the German standard DIN 53316 method, suffers from major drawbacks including low accuracy and the usage of hazardous organic solvents. As a consequence, an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärntumörer är relativt vanligt förekommande och antalet nydiagnostiserade fall per år är i ökande. Vid utredning och uppföljning av patienter med misstänkt eller fastställd hjärntumör spelar bildgivande tekniker en betydande roll, med som förstahands metod magnetisk resonanstomografi (MR). Under det senaste decenniet har MR utvecklats från att framställa bilder på hjäThe aims of the studies were: to evaluate the spatial resolution of fMRI at 3 T by studying fingersomatotopy in area 3 b of the primary sensory area (Paper 1); to investigate the potential of fMRI at 3T as a clinical tool for preoperative evaluation of patients with intracranial tumors (Paper 2); to investigate the effect of glioma resection on the spatial extent of fMRI activation as compared

In this paper, we propose a method for the estimation of the fundamental frequency of a periodic waveform based on the shift-invariance property of the sinusoidal signal model known from ESPRIT. An advantage of the proposed method is that the model order and the fundamental frequency can be found jointly and that the method does not depend on the density of the observation noise but rather on it b
