Popular Abstract in French Certaines recherches ont suggéré une différence entre l’acquisition d’une première langue (L1) et celle d’une langue seconde (L2) à l’âge adulte. L’une des questions débattues dans ce domaine est de savoir quand et pourquoi s’arrête l’acquisition du type L1 et quand commence l’acquisition du type L2 adulte. Dans ce débat, un troisième mode d’acquisition, enfant L2 ou bilThis dissertation describes the development of Voice Onset Time (VOT) and liaison in child second language (cL2) French (L1: Swedish) as compared to simultaneous Swedish-French bilinguals (2L1) and monolingual (1L1) French children. VOT is studied in both languages but liaison only exists in French. Differences between L1 and L2 phonology have previously been attributed to a sensitive period for l

Preventing relapse after chemotherapy remains a challenge in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Eighty-four non-transplanted AML patients in first complete remission received relapse-preventive immunotherapy with histamine dihydrochloride and low-dose interleukin-2 in an international phase IV trial (ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT01347996). Blood samples were drawn during cycles of immunotherapy and analyzed

Abstract Using everyday technology (ET) is a prerequisite for activities and participation at home and in the community. It is well known that persons with an acquired brain injury (ABI) can have limitations in activities of daily living but our knowledge of their difficulties using ET is not known. Thirty-six persons (27 men and 9 women, mean age 44 years, age range 26-60) with an ABI (2-10 years

Background The pattern of cancer in long-term survivors from childhood cancer has not been investigated comprehensively. Methods We obtained a cohort of 47 697 children and adolescents aged 0-19 years with cancer as defined by the country-wide cancer registries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden during 1943-2005.

As the rate of overweight among children is rising there is a need for evidence-based research that will clarify what the best interventional strategies to normalize weight development are. The overall aim of the Lund Overweight and Obesity Preschool Study (LOOPS) is to evaluate if a family-based intervention, targeting parents of preschool children with overweight and obesity, has a long-term pos

Abstract in French Pendant des décennies, la France a détenu le record mondial de la consommation d'alcool, et cela au prix de milliers de cirrhoses et de cancers du foie, d'accidents vasculaires cardiaques et cérébraux, de dépendances sévères avec leur cortège de conséquences dans les familles et dans la société : violence, accidents... Mais la France est aussi le pays où, pendant quarante ans, l

OBJECTIVE: To study intra-aneurysm sac pressure and subsequent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameter changes in patients without endoleaks that remain unchanged in AAA diameter more than 1 year after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). METHODS: A total of 23 patients underwent direct intra-aneurysm sac pressure (DISP) measurements 16 months (IQR: 14-35 months) after EVAR. Tip-pressure sensors

HDL has anti-atherogenic properties, and plasma levels of HDL cholesterol correlate inversely with risk of coronary artery disease. HDL reportedly functions as a cofactor to the anticoagulant activated protein C (APC) in the degradation of factor Va (FVa). The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mechanism by which HDL functions as cofactor to APC. Consistent with a previous report, HDL i
