Mucins in normal and diseased airways

Popular Abstract in Swedish I luftvägarna finns ett sekret, "mukus" eller "slem", som tillsammans med flimmerhårens rörelser förhindrar skadliga ämnen att nå lungorna. Denna sk mukociliära transportmekanism är av yttersta vikt för vår hälsa och överproduktion av mukus tillsammans med försämrad mukociliär transport kan innebära fara för livet. Mukus innehåller till största delen vatten (95-99%) menMucus glycoproteins (mucins) are the principal constituents of respiratory secretions in health and disease. The increased 'acidity' of mucin producing cells in the bronchitic airways is not reflected in a change of negative charge of bronchitic mucins. Furthermore, the size and macromolecular properties of mucins from chronic bronchitic sputa do not differ significantly from those in normal airwa

Optimal Electromagnetic Measurements

We consider the problem of obtaining information about an inaccessible halfspace from electromagnetic measurements made in the accessible half-space. If the measurements are of limited precision, some scatterers will be undetectable because their scattered fields are below the precision of the measuring instrument. How can we make optimal measurements? In other words, what incident fields should we

Chromosomes in anorexia nervosa. A study of 47 cases including a population-based group: a research note

Forty-seven cases with anorexia nervosa (including a total population group) and 47 sex-, age-, and school-matched comparison cases were subjected to chromosome analyses in a blind fashion. No major abnormalities were found in any of the cases. Sex chromatin was analysed in buccal smears from the girls. No differences between the anorexia nervosa and the comparison cases were found. It seems that
