Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a standardized surgical procedure and is the third most common vascular surgical procedure in Sweden. To improve the quality of pre- and postoperative care for patients undergoing elective CEA, a standardized care plan (SCP) was developed and implemented during Spring of 2007 at a vascular clinic in Sweden. In order to spread light on obstacles and possibilities in

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Previous animal studies have shown that Curcuma (C.) longa lowers plasma glucose. C. longa may thus be a promising ingredient in functional foods aimed at preventing type 2 diabetes. The purpose of the study is to study the effect of C. longa on postprandial plasma glucose, insulin levels and glycemic index (GI) in healthy subjects. METHODS: Fourteen healthy subjects were ass

Analysis of Ingmar Bergman's play Sista skriket (The Last Gasp) about the film director Georg af Klercker.

Den kanske allra bästa radiomottagaren under andra världskriget heter Köln E52, figur 1, och konstruerades och byggdes av Telefunken. Den har med åren blivit en raritet eftersom kriget, tillsammans med tidens tand, reducerat antalet mottagare betydlig. Det var därför med stor glädje och förvåning som en sådan apparat nyligen återupptäcktes på Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH).

Although the challenges posed by convergence are many, incumbent security integrators and VARs who get it right have everything to gain. Although they might not be able to acquire the leading-edge capabilities of some of their IT competitors, the integrator’s firm grasp of all aspects of traditional security, their unique ability to integrate old with new technology, and perhaps most importantly,

Neurons derived from neural stem cells could potentially be used for cell therapy in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. To achieve controlled differentiation of neural stem cells, we expressed transcription factors involved in the development of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in rat and human neural progenitors. Using retroviral-mediated transgene delivery, we overexpressed L

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are typically solid neoplasms but in very rare cases present as cystic lesions. The diagnosis of cystic tumors in the pancreas is extremely difficult and the use of endoscopic ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration might be helpful in the work-up of patients with cystic neuroendocrine tumors in the pancreas.

During locomotion, neurons in motor cortex exhibit profound step-related frequency modulation. The source of this modulation is unclear. The aim of this study was to reveal the contribution of different limb controllers (locomotor mechanisms of individual limbs) to the periodic modulation of motor cortex neurons during locomotion. Experiments were conducted in chronically instrumented cats. The ac
