Low degree of shared genetic susceptibility to coronary artery disease and venous thromboembolism.
The inflammatory response after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is not modified by targeted temperature management at 33°C or 36°C.
Survivors after cardiac arrest (CA) exhibits a systemic inflammatory response as part of post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). We investigated the association between systemic inflammation and severity of PCAS and whether level of targeted temperature management (TTM) modifies level of the inflammatory response.
Post resuscitation care - What are the therapeutic alternatives and what do we know?
A large proportion of deaths in the Western World are caused by ischaemic heart disease. Among these patients a majority die outside hospital due to sudden cardiac death. The prognosis among these patients is in general, poor. However, a significant proportion are admitted to a hospital ward alive. The proportion of patients who survive the hospital phase of an out of hospital cardiac arrest varie
A model for through-drying of tissue paper at constant pressure drop and high drying intensity
A mathematical model for through drying of paper at constant pressure drop was developed. The model is based on physical properties; hence, basis weight, pressure drop, drying air temperature, pore size distribution, initial gas fraction, and tortuosity are important input parameters to the model. The model was solved for different combinations of the variables basis weight, drying air temperature
Maternal human polyomavirus infection and risk of neuroblastoma in the child.
To investigate if polyomavirus infection during pregnancy is linked to development of neuroblastoma in the child, serum samples of 115 index mothers from the pregnancy where the child eventually developed neuroblastoma were identified and matched with serum samples from 8 control mothers per index mother. The samples were tested for. specific IgG and IgM antibodies to BK and JC virus using enzyme
IgG(4)-subclass of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody is more frequent in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults than in type 1 diabetes.
Spin-orbit selectivity observed for the HCl+ ((X)over-tilde (II)-I-2) state using resonant photoemission
We report the experimental observation of a strongly selective population of the spin-orbit components in the HCl+ (X) over tilde (2)Pi(Omega) states after excitation into the dissociative 2p(-1)6sigma* core excited state. A progression of highly excited vibrational states with either the Omega=3/2 or Omega=1/2 component of the final state is populated, respectively, when the excitation is tuned i
Patterns of allozyme variation in Nordic Pilosella
Patterns of allozyme variation have been investigated in 101 clones representing most of the morphological variation (and taxa) found in the amphi-apomictic genus Pilosella Hill. in the Nordic countries. Levels of variation were very high, both within narrowly defined taxa and within the whole data-set, but the correlation between a morphology-based taxonomy and patterns of allozyme variation was
Work Disability in Rheumatoid Arthritis -- Development over 15 Years and Evaluation of Predictive Factors Over Time.
Objective. To investigate work disability rates over 15 years in an early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cohort and to evaluate predictive factors during the course of the study. Methods. All patients with early RA of working age (n = 148) were followed and treated at a team care unit. Mean disease duration at inclusion was 1 year. Work characteristics and disease-related variables were recorded annual
The Strike of the Demon: On Fitting Pro-attitudes
According to an influential tradition in value analysis, to be valuable is to be a fitting object of a pro-attitude. If it is fitting to favor an object for its own sake, then, on this view, the object has final value, that is, it is valuable for its own sake. If it is fitting to have a pro-attitude toward an object for the sake of its effects, then its value is instrumental. And so on. Disvalue i
Designing simultaneous saccharification and fermentation for improved xylose conversion by a recombinant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Wheat straw is an abundant agricultural residue which can be used as a raw material for bioethanol production. Due to the high xylan content in wheat straw, fermentation of both xylose and glucose is crucial to meet desired overall yields of ethanol. In the present work a recombinant xylose fermenting strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TMB3400, cultivated aerobically on wheat straw hydrolysate, w
Engagement in occupations among men and women with schizophrenia
Type IX collagen deficiency enhances the binding of cartilage-specific antibodies and arthritis severity.
Interleukin-1-receptor antagonist in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background: The expression of interleukin-1-receptor antagonist is reduced in pancreatic islets of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and high glucose concentrations induce the production of interleukin-1(beta) in human pancreatic beta cells, leading to impaired insulin secretion, decreased cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Methods: In this double-blind, parallel-group trial involving 70 pat
Effects of buffering in hypercapnia and hypercapnic hypoxemia
Anesthetized, paralyzed and mechanically ventilated pigs were exposed to extreme hypercapnia (PaCO2 approximately 20 kPa) at FiO2 0.4 for 480 min, with (n = 6) or without (n = 6) continuous infusion of isotonic buffers (bicarbonate and trometamol). Arterial pH was higher in buffered animals than controls, 7.21 +/- 0.01 vs 7.01 +/- 0.01 (mean +/- s.e.mean, P < 0.01). Serum osmolality and PaCO2 did
Optical transition in the negative magnesium ion
Pharmacological characterization of the P2Y11 Thr-87 variant
Influence of an enriched environment and cortical grafting on functional outcome in brain infarcts of adult rats
The purpose of this work was to study if enriched housing conditions and fetal neocortical transplantation could enhance the functional outcome after focal brain ischemia in adult rats. The right middle cerebral artery (MCA) was ligated in 34 inbred, spontaneously hypertensive male rats, which were then randomly divided into three groups. Groups A and B were transferred to an enriched environment,
Determiner use in Italian Swedish and Italian German children: Do Swedish and German represent the same parameter setting?
In this article we compare the acquisition of determiners in bilingual children acquiring Italian simultaneously with German or Swedish. We are concerned with cross-linguistic differences in the rate of acquisition and we discuss in particular the Nominal Mapping Parameter, a model according to which the syntax-semantics interface is crucial in acquisition and which predicts similar developmental
