Objective/Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to analyze the short-term viscoelastic and histologic properties of scarred rabbit vocal folds after injection of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) as well as the degree of MSC survival. Because MSCs are anti-inflammatory and regenerate mesenchymal tissues, can MSC injection reduce vocal fold scarring after injury? Study Design: Twelve vocal folds f

In a randomized, double-blind study (n = 58) with parallel groups, the effects of diltiazem (mean dose 329 mg/day) and atenolol (mean dose 67 mg/day) on carbohydrate and lipoprotein metabolism in hypertensive patients were compared. The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reductions in the supine position were similar and satisfactory, 9/11 and 11/9 mmHg during atenol

Theoretical models have been developed to address several important aspects of numerical modeling of turbulent combustion and flame spread. The developed models include a pyrolysis model for charring and non-charring solid materials, a fast narrow band radiation property evaluation model (FASTNB) and a turbulence model for buoyant flow and flame. In the pyrolysis model, a completely new algorithm

A Monument Without Meaning? On Sigurd Erixon’s Swedish Building Culture Sigurd Erixon was the dominant figure of the ”old” ethnology in Sweden. In the late 1960:s the discipline took a new, anthropological turn that replaced the older ethnology characterized by studies in objects och houses, evolution and diffusion. Swedish Building Culture was one of the great monuments of this paradigm. What me

The IAU Meteor Data Center in Lund has acted as a central depository for meteor orbits obtained by photographic, video and radar techniques. The database of precisely reduced photographic meteors contains data on 4581 meteor orbits obtained by 17 different stations or groups in the period 1936-1996. The orbital and geophysical data are available in two separate files as well as in an alternative f

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varför skulle det vara mer europeiskt att rösta ja till Euron än vad det är att rösta nej? Varför går det inte att vara både populist och ?god europé? på samma gång? Vad skiljer en illegal invandrare från en vanlig turist? På vilka sätt avviker Europa från andra föreställda gemenskaper som exempelvis nationen? Avhandlingen ?bringing europe down to earth? (ung. ta ner euWhy is it considered more European to vote in the affirmative of the Euro than it is to vote against it? Why is not possible to be a populist and a ?Good European? at the same time? What makes an illegal immigrant different from a tourist? These questions all concern the limits of what it means to be, act and think as Europeans in Europe. In the political process of bringing the nations and people

Collagen XVI is a minor component of at least two different extracellular fibrillar networks of specialized regions of skin and cartilage. In skin, collagen XVI is integrated into particular fibrillin-rich microfibrils lacking an amorphous elastin core. In cartilage, collagen XVI is a component of small heterotypic D-banded fibrils, mainly occurring in the territorial matrix of chondrocytes. Here,

Excited states of As-68 nucleus were populated through the C-12(Ni-58,pn) reaction and investigated by in-beam gamma-spectroscopic methods. The NORDBALL detector array equipped with charged particle and neutron detectors was used to detect the evaporated particles and gamma-rays. The level scheme of As-68 was constructed on the basis of gamma gamma-coincidence relations up to 6 MeV excitation ener
