Adaptation of Multi-Joint Movements during Postural Disturbances.

The objective was to investigate the adaptation ofthe multi-segmented body movements induced over time byvibratory proprioceptive stimulation of the calf muscles and by galvanic vestibular stimulation. Twelve normal subjects were with eyes open or eyes closed exposed to vibratory stimulation of two different amplitudes and frequencies, or to simultaneously applied galvanic and vibratory stimulatio

Wavefront detection from intra-atrial recordings

The present study deals with detection of intra-atrial wavefronts from atrial activation times in adjacent bipolar electrograms. A statistic of the delays within each wave-front was calculated and served as a basis for quantifying the wavefront consistency as well as the propagation of the electrical activity along the catheter. The database consisted of 19 patients for which five electrograms wer

First Identification and Shell Model Structure of 92Rh

Excited states in the N=47 nucleus Rh-92 were populated via the fusion evaporation reaction Ni-58(Ca-40,alpha pn)Rh-92 at 180 MeV beam energy. A level scheme reaching up to about 7 MeV and probable spins of (19(+)) and (21(-)) was established and interpreted with the shell model in the (p(1/2), g(9/2)) model space.

Alpha1-antichymotrypsin/Alzheimer's peptide Abeta(1-42) complex perturbs lipid metabolism and activates transcription factors PPARgamma and NFkappaB in human neuroblastoma (Kelly) cells.

Amyloid-beta peptide (A) and the serpin proteinase inhibitor 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) are components of the amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). A exists in soluble monomeric and oligomeric forms and in an insoluble polymerised fibrillar form, but it is not clear which of these plays the most important role in the etiology of AD. In vitro, A1-42 interacts with ACT, and as a re

Long-term improvement of quality of life during growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy in adults with GH deficiency, as measured by questions on life satisfaction-hypopituitarism (QLS-H)

Questions on Life Satisfaction-Hypopituitarism (QLS-H) is a new quality-of-life (QoL) questionnaire developed for adults with hypopituitarism. To determine the effects of long-term GH treatment on QoL, we evaluated QLS-H Z-scores in 576 adult patients with GH deficiency (GHD) enrolled in HypoCCS, an international observational study, using data from five countries in which comparative QLS-H data f

Transient hypertriglyceridemia of infancy

A premature boy who had suffered from IRDS, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of prematurity developed massive hypertriglyceridemia (48.1 mmol/L) together with moderate hypercholesterolemia (12.6 mmol/L) at 5 months of age. Lipoprotein electrophoresis revealed a marked elevation of the level of the very low density lipoprotein fraction. There was a moderate decrease in the activity of a l

Influence of dissolved organic matter source on lake bacterioplankton structure and function - implications for seasonal dynamics of community composition

It has been suggested that autochthonous (internally produced) organic carbon and allochthonous (externally produced) organic carbon are utilized by phylogenetically different bacterioplankton. We examined the relationship between the source of organic matter and the structure and function of lake bacterial communities. Differences and seasonal changes in bacterial community composition in two lak

SHELL STRUCTURE AND SHAPE COEXISTENCE IN PB-195

Pb-195 was investigated utilizing the reactions Dy-164(S-36, 5n)Pb-195 and Dy-164(S-34, 3n)Pb-195 at beam energies of 170 and 160MeV respectively. Two new dipole bands which feed into the yrast 25/2(+) state, were found in Pb-195. The connection between the bands and the spherical states was established and thus spins and energies of the involved collective states were determined. The deformation

Polymemse chain reaction using mixed primers. Cloning of human monoclonal antibody variable region genes from single hybridoma cells

We describe a general approach to rapidly obtain the DNA sequence encoding the variable region of any immunoglobulin chain using the polymerase chain reaction and a mixture of upstream primers corresponding to the leader sequence, and one downstream primer designed from the conserved nucleotide sequence of the constant region. The approach was applied to five different hybridomas producing human m

Thyrostimulin (a TSH-like Hormone) Expression in Orbital and Thyroid Tissue.

Objective: To investigate gene expression of thyrostimulin in orbital and thyroid tissue from patients with and without Graves' disease. Design: Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for detection of thyrostimulin gene expression in intraorbital adipose tissue from patients with severe ophthalmopathy and thyroid healthy controls in addition to thyrostimulin ex

Photosynthetically oxygenated acetonitrile biodegradation by an algal-bacterial microcosm: a pilot-scale study

A 43-L column photobioreactor wash tested for the treatment of acetonitrile Using a symbiotic consortium consisting of a Chlorella sorokiniana strain and a Comamonas strain. Complete biodegradation of 1 g acetonitrile/l was achieved in 79 hours under continuous illumination at 500 mu E/m(2) s and 26 degrees C. When the photobioreactor was operated at 26 degrees C under a 14/10 hours light/dark ill

A general model for calculating pressure drop in siphons and siphon riser tubes. Part 1: Principles and theoretical model

A general model for pressure drop calculations in siphons and riser tubes has been developed. The model takes into account different physical flow phenomena such as inlet pressure drop and pressure drop in the tube. For each phenomenon, we applied theory and established correlations to calculate the separate accelerational, frictional, gravitational, and centrifugal pressure drops. Model results a

Uttorkning av betong : inverkan av cementtyp, betongkvalitet och omgivande fuktförhållanden

Uttorkning av betong är ett ämnesområde som under lång tid varit i fokus. Genom åren har många skadefall kunnat kopplas till alltför fuktiga betonggolv. Det är inte betongen som tar skada utan vissa material som placerats i direkt anslutning till betongen. Exempel är kemisk nedbrytning av lim under plastmattor, vilket skapat kemiska emissioner som vandrat ut till inomhusluften, eller som lett till
