Prospective study of relationship between cytomegalovirus pneumonia and viral load in renal transplant recipients
The present study prospectively examined the relationship between cytomegalovirus interstitial pneumonia (CMV-IP) and viral load among 56 renal transplant recipients. We sought to identify the cutoff of viral load to predict CMV-IP. Blood samples were obtained weekly within the first 2 months and every second week during 2 to 6 months after kidney transplantations. A commercial real-time polymeras

Unexpected sensitization routes and general frequency of contact allergies in an elderly stented Swedish population
Contact allergy to stent material has been proposed to be a risk factor for restenosis, after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and stenting. Information on the general frequency of contact allergy in the elderly population is scarce and knowledge of possible sensitization routes is important to investigate. The aim of this study was to investigate contact allergy to stent mate
Beyond the Banal Surface of Reality: Interview with Terry Gilliam
Interview with Terry Gilliam after his presentation of The Brothers Grimm (2006).
Doorway States in the Gamma Decay-out of the Yrast Superdeformed Band in 59Cu
The decay-out process of the yrast superdeformed band in Cu-59 has been investigated. The firm determination of spin, parity, excitation energy, and configuration of the states involved in this process constitutes a unique situation for a detailed understanding of the decay-out mechanism. A theoretical model is introduced that includes a residual interaction and tunneling matrix element between ba
A longitudinal 2-year follow-up of quality of life in women referred for colposcopy after an abnormal cervical smear.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term impact on quality of life (QoL) in women referred for colposcopy after an abnormal cervical smear. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred consecutive women referred for colposcopy for the first time subsequent to receiving notification of an abnormal cervical smear. Women in the study group completed the Swedish Health Survey Short Form-36 (SF-36), the State/Trait Anxiety I
Exchange rate between crystalline tripalmitin and liquid triglyceride oil analysed by NMR.
An NMR technique to measure exchange kinetics at thermal equilibrium in dispersions of moderately soluble crystalline material is presented. By monitoring the exchange of molecules between pools in solid and dissolved form, one can characterize the surface specific exchange rate. Illustrative experiments were performed in a model system with b-type crystals of tripalmitin as the solid phase and tr
Evidence of still-ongoing convergence evolution of the lactase persistence T-13910 alleles in humans
A single-nucleotide variant, C/T-13910, located 14 kb upstream of the lactase gene (LCT), has been shown to be completely correlated with lactase persistence (LP) in northern Europeans. Here, we analyzed the background of the alleles carrying the critical variant in 1,611 DNA samples from 37 populations. Our data show that the T-13910 variant is found on two different, highly divergent haplotype b
Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced infection and degradation of human wound fluid and skin proteins ex vivo are eradicated by a synthetic cationic polymer
Objectives: Antimicrobial peptides are important effectors of innate immunity. Bacteria display multiple defence mechanisms against these peptides. For example, Pseudomonas aeruginosa releases potent proteinases that inactivate the human cathelicidin LL-37. Hence, in conditions characterized by persistent bacterial colonization, such as in P. aeruginosa-infected skin wounds, there is a need for ef
Treatment of paper coating colour effluents by membrane filtration
Dilute coating colour effluents are created during the coating of paper and board. After treating the colour effluents with ultrafiltration, the retentate can be reused as coating colour and the permeate can replace fresh water. At the same time, the load on the external treatment plant is reduced. In this investigation, pilot-plant experiments were performed at a paper mill. A high and steady flu
Quiet Revolution - Industrialisation and welfare policy in rural Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu belongs to those parts of India, which have experienced considerable economic growth and economic and social development in the past 25 years. In our panel study of six villages in Karur and Tiruchirapalli districts, we have documented this development in various ways. The most important findings relate to a doubling of real incomes, rapid growth of non-farm incomes and a sharp reductio
Prevention of posttraumatic pulmonary platelet trapping by portacaval transposition
Significant soft-tissue trauma induces platelet activation, aggregation, and sequestration in the lungs. This pulmonary trapping is due either to the size of the platelet aggregates or to changes in the pulmonary microvasculature. To evaluate which one of these mechanisms is responsible for the trapping, we performed portacaval transposition in one group of pigs, making the liver the first receivi
Incorporating the effects of changes in vegetation functioning and CO2 on water availability in plant habitat models
The direct effects of CO2 level changes on plant water availability are usually ignored in plant habitat models. We compare traditional proxies for water availability with changes in soil water (fAWC) predicted by a process-based ecosystem model, which simulates changes in vegetation structure and functioning, including CO2 physiological effects. We modelled current and future habitats of 108 Euro
High levels of circulating testosterone are not associated with increased prostate cancer risk: a pooled prospective study.
Regioselective reductive openings of acetals; Mechanistic details and synthesis of fluorescently labeled compounds
Regioselective reductive openings of mixed phenolic-benzylic acetals, using BH3 center dot NMe3 center dot AlCl3, was investigated, and a mechanism where the outcome is directed by the electrostatic potential of the two oxygen atoms is presented. The regioselective acetal opening was used in the synthesis of a fluorescently labeled analogue to antiproliferative xylosides. The fluorescently labeled
Women's perception of changes in the social network after a spinal cord injury
Purpose. To describe how women with a spinal cord injury (SCI) perceived changes in the social network, and how these changes affected their ability to participate in occupation. Method. Thirteen women, aged 25 to 61 years, with a SCI were interviewed twice. The interviews focused on their ability to participate in occupation, their relations with individuals within the social network, and changes

Validation a portable monitoring device for sleep apnea diagnosis in a population based cohort using synchronized home polysomnography
Subject Objective: To assess the accuracy of a portable monitoring device based on peripheral arterial tonometry to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). To propose a new standard for limited-channel device validation using synchronized polysomnography (PSG) home recordings and a population-based cohort. Design: Single-night, unattended PSG and Watch_PAT 100 (WP_100). Setting: Home environment.
Controlled polytypic and twin-plane superlattices in iii-v nanowires.
Semiconductor nanowires show promise for use in nanoelectronics, fundamental electron transport studies, quantum optics and biological sensing. Such applications require a high degree of nanowire growth control, right down to the atomic level. However, many binary semiconductor nanowires exhibit a high density of randomly distributed twin defects and stacking faults, which results in an uncontroll
