Language disordered children with receptive language problems have worse outcome and also more severe problems in other areas of language than children with isolated expressive problems according to “the hypothesis of hierarchical vulnerability” formulated by Bishop and Edmundson (1987). We studied ten children with specific and severe developmental language disorders (DLD) longitudinally and foun

Objectives To create reference values representative of normal findings on two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) examination of the cervix from 17 to 41 weeks' gestation and to determine the agreement between cervical measurements taken by 2D and 3D TVS. Methods Cross-sectional study covering 17 to 41 weeks in 419 nulliparous and 360 parous women who deliver
The permeability of skin to nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) used in sunscreens as a reflector of the UV wavelengths of sunlight, was examined using nuclear microscopy techniques. Special attention was given to the permeation characteristics of these nanoparticles across the outer layers of skin, the stratum corneum, in healthy and psoriatic skin condition. Aspects that may influence the i
The objective was to explore the meaning of the phenomenon of problem solving in midwifery when the midwife is faced with a critical situation in the absence of an obstetrician or any physician. A qualitative method was used and critical incidents from delivery wards and/or antenatal clinics in the south of Sweden were narrated by midwives and transcribed verbatim. The interwievs were then analyse
SBU performed a systematic review concerning dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The review included the perspective of managing patients in primary care. Dyspepsia is a common condition but varies from one geographic area to another. Despite presenting symptoms of dyspepsia, a majority of patients may not have an ulcer diagnosis (non-ulcer dyspepsia [NUD]). For undiagnosed GERD
A survey of the sixty years of the annual selection of the Art of the Swedish Book. Discussed are its aims, workings and criteria, as well as how Swedish a book has had to be, classicism versus modernism in design, trends in typefaces, and the question of actual effects on the trade.
This paper is built on a summary of the findings of a research report, entitled 'European Common Agricultural Policy: An analysis of the main factors affecting its future environmental policy', which aimed to identify and examine the main factors that could influence the development of the environmental policy of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in the future. After the analys
Strain BOL13 was selected from 18 fungal strains isolated from an oil-spill contaminated site in Oruro, Bolivia. It was identified as a basidiomycete with high homology to Bjerkandera. The fungus degraded 100 mg phenanthrene l(-1) at 0.17 mg l(-1) d(-1) at 30 degrees C at pH 7. During phenanthrene degradation, a maximum manganese peroxidase activity of 100-120 U l(-1) was measured after 10 days of
The catalytic domain of overexpressed protein kinase C (PKC)-delta mediates phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced differentiation or apoptosis in appropriate model cell lines. To define the portions of the catalytic domain that are critical for these isozyme-specific functions, we constructed reciprocal chimeras, PKC-delta/epsilonV5 and -epsilon/deltaV5, by swapping the V5 domains of PKC-d
