Does regular exercise including pelvic floor muscle training prevent urinary and anal incontinence during pregnancy? A randomised controlled trial. BJOG 2012; DOI: 10.1111/j.1471-0528.2012.03426.x. Objective To assess whether pregnant women following a general exercise course, including pelvic floor muscle traini

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with slow disease progression. There is a lack of descriptive data from Sweden concerning patients with this diagnosis. This study extracted data on patients admitted to the dermatology department at Lund University Hospital, Sweden from 1996 to 2010. Forty-four patients with clinically and histopathologically verified MF were identifie

The present study investigates spatial properties of atrial fibrillation (AF) by analyzing VCG loops synthesized from 12-lead ECGs. During intervals with ventricular activity, the atrial signal is extracted using spatiotemporal QRST cancellation, thus making continuous f-wave analysis possible. Spatial properties are characterized through joint analysis of successive fixed-length signal segments,

A water window (lambda = 2.3-4.4 nm) laser-plasma X-ray source which uses ethanol droplets as target is described. This target significantly reduces debris production compared to conventional targets. The < 25 mum X-ray source primarily produces narrow bandwidth carbon and oxygen ion line emission. Absolute emission at lambda = 3.4 nm is 0.5 x 10(12) photons/(ster line pulse).

In the central nervous system, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-20 has been reported to act preferentially on midbrain dopaminergic neurons. It also promotes the dopaminergic differentiation of stem cells. We have analyzed the effects of FGF-20 on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiation into dopaminergic neurons. We induced neuronal differentiation of hESCs by co-culturing those with PA6

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe the clinical management of inadvertent arterial catheterisation after attempted central venous catheterisation. METHODS: Patients referred for surgical or endovascular management for inadvertent arterial catheterisation during a 5-year period were identified from an endovascular database, providing prospective information on techniques and outcome. The corres

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae is a significant pathogen in children, causing otitis media, sinusitis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, and occasionally invasive infections. H. influenzae type b conjugate vaccines have no effect on infections caused by nontypeable strains because nontypeable strains are nonencapsulated. Approximately, one-third of episodes of otitis media are caused by nontypeable H

The collective effective radiation dose to the population is increasing due to a higher use of computerised tomography. SharpView AB, Linköping, Sweden, has developed an adaptive non-linear post-processing image filtration that may enable the use of lower radiation doses. The present study assessed if a lower dose with image filtration had the same image quality as a higher dose without the filter

To accomplish timing recovery/synthesis in high-speed communication systems, a 24-b numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) IC using a circuit design technique called true single-phase clock (TSPC) pipelined CMOS has been fabricated in a standard 1.2-μm CMOS process. The device achieves a maximum tested input clock rate of 700 MHz, which results in an output frequency tuning range from DC up to 35

In the paper we consider a flow problem closely related to path diversity protection in communication networks. Given a weighted directed graph where some arcs are subject to failures while others are resilient, we aim at computing a shortest pair of failure-disjoint paths. If a resilient arc is used by both paths, its cost is counted only once. We present an original polynomial-time algorithm for

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling har jag velat pröva möjligheten att teckna en bild av en enskild medeltida person och spåra hans egen tanke- och handlingsvärld genom de källor, som han lämnat efter sig. Källorna är både skriftliga och materiella (klosterkyrkan i Sorø, borgen Havn, historieskrivningen Gesta Danorum, runstenen och kyrkan i Norra Åsum och Absalons testamente). Under In this dissertation I have sought to test the possibility of recreating a detailed picture of an individual medieval person, tracing the Danish archbishop Absalon's own world of thought and action through those surviving sources that he has left behind. The sources are both written and material, and they include the cloister church in Sorø, the Havn Castle, the Medieval history Gesta Danorum, the

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Posterior dislocation of the shoulder in brachial plexus birth palsy during the first year of life is rare but the incidence increases with age. The aim was to calculate the incidence of these lesions in children below one year of age. METHODS: The incidence of brachial plexus birth lesion and occurrence of posterior shoulder dislocation was calculated based on a prospective

Many international studies show that adolescents in coercive institutional care display high prevalences of mental disorders, especially in the form of disruptive behavior disorders [including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder], anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. High degrees of overlap across mental disorders have also been r

Abstract Conclusion: When measured together, it seems that vision and proprioception as well as position of the vestibular organ affect postural sway, vision the most. Mediolateral (ML) sway does not seem to be influenced by the position of the vestibular organ. Objective: To investigate how postural sway was affected by provocation of vision, by the position of the vestibular organ, and by provoc
