Immigrants from the Middle-East have a different form of Type 2 diabetes compared with Swedish patients.

AIMS: To compare the clinical characteristics of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) between immigrants from the Middle-East and Swedish patients. METHODS: The study group included 450 consecutive patients with T2DM, 379 Swedish-born aged 61 +/- 12 years and 71 patients originally from the Middle-East aged 50 +/- 11 years from the diabetes clinic of Malmo University Hospital. RESULTS: Onset of diabetes had occ

CSF biomarkers predict a more malignant outcome in Alzheimer disease.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate if patterns of CSF biomarkers (T-tau, P-tau, and Abeta42) can predict cognitive progression, outcome of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment, and mortality in Alzheimer disease (AD). METHODS: We included outpatients with AD (n = 151) from a prospective treatment study with ChEI. At baseline, patients underwent cognitive assessments and lumbar puncture. The patients w

Semantic Priming Effects in a Second Language: An Event-Related Potential Study

This study addressed the question whether the second language (L2) of bilinguals can access conceptual memory as directly as their first language (L1). Swedish undergraduates, with English as their second language, performed two tasks in both L1 and L2. Exp. 1 used a picture-name verification task, where pictures induced automatic semantic priming. Exp. 2 used a category-exemplar verification task

The transcription factor 7-like 2 gene and increased risk of type 2 diabetes: an update.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the most important type 2 diabetes gene to date, transcription factor 7 like-2. RECENT FINDINGS: An important step to find genetic causes of type 2 diabetes in 2006 was the identification of the fact that variants in the gene encoding transcription factor 7 like-2 reproducibly increase susceptibility to type

Lymfödem och bröstcancer ur sjukgymnastiskt perspektiv.

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige. Tio procent av den kvinnliga befolkningen får bröstcancer under sin livstid. En minoritet avlider. Operation är den vanligaste behandlingen som oftast kombineras med strålbehandling. Det är mindre känt att vissa sidoeffekter av behandlingen kan ge bestående fysisk påverkan. Sådana bieffekter är armlymfödem samt nedsatt axelrörlighet

Med blicken på barnet : Om olikheter inom förskolan som diskursiv praktik

The aim of the thesis is to highlight how children are created as subjects when their behaviour puzzles, worries or challenges staff in preschool, and how scope for, or limitations to, the children's opportunities to be, know or act differently thereby emerge. An additional purpose is to shed light on how suggestions for ways of managing and, in Foucault’s sense, governing the children and their b

The Optimal Sampling Pattern for Linear Control Systems

In digital control systems, the state is sampled at given sampling instants and the input is kept constant between two consecutive instants. With the optimal sampling problem, we mean the selection of sampling instants and control inputs, such that a given function of the state and input is minimized. In this paper, we formulate the optimal sampling problem and we derive a necessary condition of t

IMMoS - a methodology for integrated measurement, modelling, and simulation

One reason for the relatively small number of real-world applications of simulation in software engineering is the existing lack of guidance in creating and formulating the related models and in the isolated usage of associated techniques. In order to support both strategic and project management in software organizations, a methodology for integrated measurement, modelling and simulation (IMMoS)

15 nm diameter InAs nanowire MOSFETs

InAs is an attractive channel material for III–V nanowire MOSFETs and early prototype high performance nanowire transistors have been demonstrated1. As the gate length is reduced, the nanowire diameter must be scaled quite aggressively in order to suppress short-channel effects2. However, a reduction in transconductance (gm) and drive current (ION) could be expected due to increased surface scatte
