Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare but potentially fatal condition characterised by increased body temperature and muscle rigidity in a patient receiving antipsychotic treatment. Diagnosis also requires the presence of two symptoms of autonomic dysfunction and/or leukocytosis and increased creatin kinase. All neuroleptics, including atypical agents, can cause the condition, which is th

Neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from human fetal striatum and transplanted as neurospheres survive in stroke-damaged striatum, migrate from the implantation site, and differentiate into mature neurons. Here, we investigated how various steps of neurogenesis are affected by intrastriatal transplantation of human NSCs at different time points after stroke and with different numbers of cells in each

Purpose: To investigate the retinal structure and function during the progression of X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) from childhood to adulthood. Methods: Ten patients clinically diagnosed with XLRS were investigated at 6-15 years of age (mean age 9 years) with a follow-up 8 to 14 years later (mean 12 years). The patients underwent regular ophthalmic examination as well as testing of best corrected

I artikeln studerar jag behandling av psykisk ohälsa i historisk tid, med fokus på mötet mellan patient och behandlare. Syftet är att undersöka hur terapeutiska möten har sett ut i olika historiska sammanhang och belysa de faktorer som har påverkat mötets utformning – alltifrån behandlarens disciplinära hemvist och behandlingsideal till de sociala roller och förutsättningar som individerna haft me

Using two methods: (1) three-step excitation and (2) single UV photon excitation in an atomic beam with direct observation of the decay of the fluorescence light, we have measured the lifetimes of the Rydberg levels of YbI belonging to the perturbed series 6snp J = 1 levels. The measured values have been interpreted by the multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT).

OBJECTIVE: To develop a diet quality index (DQI) that assesses adherence to the Swedish nutrition recommendations (SNR) and the Swedish dietary guidelines (SDG). DESIGN: A cross-sectional study within the Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort. A diet history method collected dietary data, a structured questionnaire lifestyle and socio-economic information, and anthropometric data were collected by di

This paper describes an acoustic method to induce rotating vortexflows in microchannels. The method is tested on two different systems, a mixing channel with two paralell flows and a porous silicon microreactor for protein digestion. A significant increase of the mixing ratio is detected in both cases.
