The importance of enteral nutrition

Many neurological diseases are followed by a disturbance of nutritional intake to some extent and thus constitute the most common indication for nutritional support and enteral access. Several studies have shown that malnutrition is a common condition, with as many as 40% of admitted patients being identified as undernourished and 78% of these further found to be deteriorated in their nutritional

The therapeutic swallowing study

When selecting an instrumental procedure to assess oral and pharyngeal swallowing dysfunction videoradiography is the only technique where the entire swallowing sequence could be analyzed. Accordingly this is an excellent tool for the dysphagia therapist in the management of dysphagic patients.

Potential difficulties during investigations due to solid state drive (SSD) technology

This paper discusses potential complications for Forensic Investigations due to the spread of Solid State Disc (SSD) technologies and influence of socio-technical factors. The discussion is drawing upon a study based on interviews with an experienced Forensic Investigator from Hampshire Constabularies Hi-Tech Crime Unit (HTCU), located in the United Kingdom. The goal of this study was to identify

Antibody immobilization strategy for the development of a capacitive immunosensor detecting zearalenone

A highly sensitive flow-injection capacitive immunosensor was developed for detection of the mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN). Different strategies for immobilization of an anti-ZEN antibody on the surface of a gold electrode, i.e. polytyramine or self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) and lipoic acid (LA), were used and their performances were compared. The LA- and 3-MPA-

Feeding and respiration

Coordination of breathing and swallowing is essential for normal bolus transportation through the pharynx and for protection of the airways. During passage of the bolus through the pharynx, respiration is interrupted. Normal swallowing occurs during the expiratory phase of breathing. Incoordination of the feeding respiratory pattern may lead to penetration of the bolus into the airways. This may c

The Economic Considerations of a Sustainable City Logistics-based Business Model

City logistics initiatives are often conceived as enablers to address the challenges related to the supply and disposal of goods in city centres. Several such city logistics initiatives have been tested to address these challenges. A majority of these initiatives have used urban consolidation centres to bundle deliveries within cities, and several of the initiatives include environmental zones, ac

Turning vice into virtue : Using Batch-Effects to Detect Errors in Large Genomic Datasets

It is often unavoidable to combine data from different sequencing centers or sequencing platforms when compiling datasets with a large number of individuals. However, the different data are likely to contain specific systematic errors that will appear as SNPs. Here, we devise a method to detect systematic errors in combined datasetIs. To measure quality differences between individual genomes, we s

Effektiva rättsmedel i EUs konkurrensrättsprocess

Abstract in Undetermined Under närmare ett decennium har jag följt behandlingen av AstraZenecas numera fastslagna överträdelser av konkurrensrätten. Den fällande domen är kanske inte alldeles oväntad, även om det funnits anledning att diskutera olika frågeställningar. När jag ser tillbaka på de samlade bidragen slår det mig att min främsta invändning är att myndigheterna så enögt främjar den gener

The article addresses the claims that say the former Yemeni president Ali Abdulla Saleh, who killed by Huthi rebels is a courage man because he fighted against the Huthis while he is the person who brings the Huthi from Sada, and let them took over Sanaa and the rest of the country.

Identification of processes in closed loop—identifiability and accuracy aspects

It is often necessary in practice to perform identification experiments on systems operating in closed loop. There has been some confusion about the possibilities of successful identification in such cases, evidently due to the fact that certain common methods then fail. A rapidly increasing literature on the problem is briefly surveyed in this paper, and an overview of a particular approach is gi

Study on Legislative Measures Related to Online IPR Infringements : A Project Commissioned by the European Union Intellectual Property Office

Intellectual property right (IPR) infringement has taken and increasingly takes place in the online environment, in particular on the internet, which has raised concerns on many different levels, and has led to a number of recent European initiatives. A number of legislative measures have been adopted at both international and European levels whose purposes are to strengthen and harmonise the prot
