Fracture dislocations of the PIP joint are challenging to treat. In hemi-hamate arthroplasty, the palmar lip joint surface is reconstructed using an osteochondral graft from the hamate and the immediate stability permits early movement. In the long term, collapse of non-vascularized osteochondral grafts might lead to degenerative arthritis. We examined the radiographic result after a minimum of 4

The newly discovered adipokine visfatin has been hypothesized to be related to obesity and insulin resistance. In this study, we investigate if the 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms rs4730153 and G-948T are associated with obesity and/or related traits and whether they influence the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of PBEF1 (originally the abbreviation for pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor 1) in visce

Coronary heart disease (CHD) development is associated to a combination of lifestyle and genetic factors. A number of lifestyle risk factors is well defined, while genetic factors have not yet been well determined.

Inom modernhistorisk mansforskning har man ofta utgått från religion som en kvinnlig angelägenhet, utan relevans i männens värld. Hur kommer det sig då att så stora grupper män engagerade sig för kyrka och kristen tro? I projektet "Kristen manlighet" undersöks sambandet mellan kristen religion och konstruktionen av manlighet 1840-1940 – en period som präglades av den borgerliga diskursen genombrot

The number of computed tomography (CT) examinations is increasing and leading to an increase in total patient exposure. It is therefore important to optimize CT scan imaging conditions in order to reduce the radiation dose. The introduction of iterative reconstruction methods has enabled an improvement in image quality and a reduction in radiation dose.

This article presents the ancient concept of stylistic levels as a means of approaching the question of how New Testament writings were delivered in antiquity. It is argued that the levels of style affected both composition and delivery and that therefore an analysis of the remaining texts is the first step towards understanding how they were once delivered. The levels of style are presented and t
