Gender aspects on survival among patients admitted to hospital with suspected or diagnosed heart failure.

Objectives and design. There are conflicting data on gender differences in survival among heart failure (HF) patients. We prospectively assessed gender differences in survival among 930 consecutive patients (464 [49.9%] women, mean age 76.1 +/- 10.1 years), admitted to hospital with suspected or diagnosed HF. Results. Overall, women had lower unadjusted mortality hazard ratio (HR) than men: HR 0.8

Delta-Like 1 (Dlk-1), a Novel Marker of Prostate Basal and Candidate Epithelial Stem Cells, Is Downregulated by Notch Signalling in Intermediate/Transit Amplifying Cells of the Human Prostate.

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of understanding of the processes that regulate differentiation in the prostate. OBJECTIVE: To determine localisation, activity, and regulation of cytodifferentiation-modulatory proteins in the human adult prostate. DESIGN, SETTINGS, AND PARTICIPANTS: Eighteen volunteering patients with organ-confined prostate cancer were prospectively enrolled at a single university ho

Maternal use of loperamide in early pregnancy and delivery outcome.

Aim: To study delivery outcome including presence of infant congenital malformations after maternal use of loperamide in early pregnancy. Methods: Using the Swedish Medical Birth Register, women reporting the use of loperamide in early pregnancy were compared with other women for the period July 1, 1995-2004. Odds ratios (OR) or risk ratios (RR) were estimated after adjustment for some variables,

Do airway clearance mechanisms influence the local and systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids?

The role of airway clearance in inhaled drug therapy is complex. Disease-induced bronchoconstriction results in a central drug-deposition pattern where mucociliary clearance is most efficient. When drug-induced bronchodilation is achieved, deposition and uptake becomes more peripheral, and because there is less mucociliary clearance in the periphery, this will lead to an unintentional increase in

Euron och europeisk prisutveckling i ett svenskt perspektiv

A strategically minded CFO will realize that strategic corporate risk management is about finding the right balance between risk prevention and proactive value generation. Efficient risk and performance management requires adequate assessment of risk and risk exposures on the one hand and performance on the other. Properly designed, a risk measure should provide information on to what extend the f

Inhibition mechanism of human galectin-7 by a novel galactose- benzylphosphate inhibitor

Galectins are involved in many cellular processes due to their ability to bind carbohydrates. Understanding their functions has shown the necessity for potent and specific galectin inhibitors. Human galectin-7 (hGal-7), in particular, has been highlighted as an important marker in many types of cancer by either inhibiting or promoting tumour growth. Producing ligands able to selectively targe
