The chromosomal location of six barley genes was determined by Southern blot experiments using wheat strains which contained the short or long arm from one of the seven barley chromosomes. The genes analysed encode enzymes that are required for chlorophyll and heme synthesis. Glutamyl-tRNAGlu synthetase, glutamate 1-semialdehyde 2,1-aminotransferase and glutamyl-tRNAGlu reductase are common to bot

Background. The aims of the present study were to (1) analyze preoperative predictors for outcome suggested by Hardman and surgical mortality after open repair and endovascular repair (EVAR) of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA), and (2) further evaluate the Hardman index in a systematic review. Methods. Patients operated on for rAAA during a 5-year period between 2000 and 2004 were scored

Ulnar shortening is well accepted in the treatment of ulnar abutment but less so in patients with a shortened radius and ulnar-sided wrist pain as a result of a Colles fracture. Sixteen patients with pain and reduced range of movement ( ROM) and a median preoperative ulnar positive variance of 5 mm ( range 0.5 - 11) had 17 osteotomies. Nine were male and seven female with a median age of 35 ( rang

Infantile colic is causing pain and trouble to infants and their parents. Acupuncture is used to relieve the symptoms but is not scientifically tested as treatment for infantile colic. In this study the experiences of parents, whose 68 babies have got acupuncture, were investigated. The way the parents described their babies behaviour and feeding patterns was analysed with content analysis at a ma

Spontaneously opening, chloride-selective channels that showed outward rectification were recorded in ripped-off patches from rat cultured hippocampal neurons and in cell-attached patches from rat hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in slices. In both preparations, channels had multiple conductance states and the most common single-channel conductance varied. In the outside-out patches it ranged fro

In this letter, a novel frequency-multiplication device based on a three-terminal ballistic junction is proposed and demonstrated. A 100 nm-size, three-terminal ballistic junction and a one-dimensional (1-D), lateral-field-effect transistor with trench gate-channel insulation are fabricated from high-electron-mobility GaInAs/InP quantum-well material as a single device. The devices show frequency

Aim To evaluate whether Long-term treatment with a fixed tow dose of warfarin in combination with aspirin improves the prognosis compared with aspirin treatment alone after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Patients who were hospitalized for AMI were randomized to either 1.25 mg of warfarin plus 75 mg of aspirin (n=1659) daily or 75 mg of aspirin atone (n=1641). The study was performed

The PIXE technique offers the possibility of scanning a single hair strand longitudinally with a millimetre proton beam for trace elements. However, the accuracy of the method has been questioned since the quantification of the mass concentration has been a serious problem. In this paper a specific beam-hair-detector geometry is assumed, and the correction factor accounting for the proton energy l

The antimalarial drug chloroquine is also used in the prevention of photodermatoses and in patients with inflammatory connective diseases. The drug binds strongly to melanin. Melanocytic activity can be studied by analysis of the urinary markers of eumelanin (6-hydroxy-5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, 6H5MI-2-C) and phaeomelanin (5-S-cysteinyl-dopa, 5-S-CD). To determine whether chloroquine inte

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1100-talet utvecklades inom kanonisk rätt principen att makarnas samtycke är tillräckligt för att skapa ett giltigt äktenskap. Varken familj eller andra auktoriteter, inte ens kyrkliga, hade laglig bestämmanderätt över två personers giftermål. Denna lagstiftning stod i konflikt med det sekulära samhällets uppfattning av äktenskapet och även i vissa fall med kyrkanOne of the most important aspects of the marriage legislation in medieval canon law is the doctrine of free choice. According to this doctrine, established by pope Alexander III in the second half of the twelfth century, the validity of a marriage depended solely on the freely given consent of the parties. Neither family nor witnesses, not even the presence of a priest were necessary to form a val

This report presents the fifth and last experiment in a longitudinal study of text building behaviour at the Gymnasium level of a Swedish School. The series of experiments concerns natural language production as a means for the establishment of state attractors as well as their geometric space descriptions. The hypothesis tested during three years of instruction and learning is whether the evolvin

Introduction: Early enteral nutrition with fibre and probiotics has been effective in preventing bacterial translocation and is therefore expected to reduce the incidence of postoperative bacterial infections. Patients and methods: In a prospective randomized trial including 172 patients following major abdominal surgery or liver transplantation, the incidence of bacterial infections was compared

Selective modification of one (of three) tyrosine residue per enzyme monomer leads to inactivation of dUTPase of the retrovirus equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV). The substrate dUMP and the cofactor Mg2+protects against inactivation and modification, in agreement with the study onE. colidUTPase (Vertessyet al.(1994)Biochim. Biophys. Acta1205, 146-150). Amino acid analyses of nitrated dUTPases

OBJECTIVE: A prenatal diagnosis of the fetus for a mother of two previously deceased infants who died from the recently described autosomal recessive disease (OMIM 603358). The infants presented with intrauterine growth retardation, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, iron overload, severe lactic acidosis, and early death (GRACILE syndrome). STUDY DESIGN: DNA was extracted from the fibroblasts and tissue

The effect of the presence of water vapor on the reduction of nitric oxide with ammonia was investigated using vanadia on SiO2-TiO2 as a catalyst. The selectivity towards nitrogen is greatly increased upon addition of water. Repeated use at temperatures of 825 K causes sintering of the catalyst and loss of activity as well as selectivity towards nitrogen. The formation of nitrous oxide is preferen
