A model based on the electrostatic Hellmann-Feynman theorem and an empirical valence-force potential has been used to study breathing-mode distortions around the vacancy and substitutional Cu in silicon. The calculation of the forces driving the distortion is based on a self-consistent calculation of the charge-density perturbation. In both cases considered, the author finds an outward breathing-m

PURPOSE: Preoperative localization procedures and the use of intraoperative parathyroidism (iOPTH) have led to a shift of paradigm from bilateral neck exploration to focused parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). However, only a small number of randomized trials from specialized centers have been published. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the impact of localization p

PURPOSE: Several inherited corneal disorders in humans result from mutations in the transforming growth factor beta induced gene (TGFBI), which encodes for the extracellular transforming growth factor beta induced protein (TGFBIp) that is one of the most abundant proteins in the cornea. We previously reported a significant amount of TGFBIp in plasma by immunoblotting using the only TGFBIp antiseru

One of the primary challenges of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) of the European Union is to provide a guide for the recovery of surface waters from pollution. However, few studies deal with reference conditions according to the WFD in coastal waters. Using the urbanised Laajalahti Bay (Helsinki, Finland) as an example, reference conditions and pollution history were defined using the stratigr

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae with Cefotaximase-München (CTX-M) enzymes are rapidly increasing worldwide and pose a threat to health care. ESBLs with CTX-M enzymes have been isolated from animals and different food products, but it is unknown if food imported from the Mediterranean area may be a possible reservoir of these bacteria. During 2007-2008, swab sample

The objective of this study is to assess the heavy metals pollution and microbial contamination in water, sediments and fish of Lake Manzala and study the direct and indirect effect for disposal of waste water, industrial and agricultural drainage water into the lake on the environmental situation. Samples were collected from four different sites in the lake and one site in the drain. The selected

God redovisningsseds betydelse och vem som bestämmer vad som kan anses vara enligt god redovisningssed.

The introduction of biologics has changed treatment patterns as well as costs in patients with psoriasis. This study was performed to estimate direct and indirect costs of the psoriasis population in Sweden, and to analyse changes in costs between 2006 and 2009. The study population was identified in national registers. Direct costs included health care visits with primary psoriasis diagnoses in s

Shorter article on the passage in my docotral dissertation that presented results on shame in relation to long term unemployment and benefit dependancy among youth.

I detta nummer ges en rad exempel där det påvisas att föreställningar, normer och värderingar spelar en avgörande roll i medicinsk praktik. Allt ifrån barnhälsovårdens fyraårskontroller till habiliteringsprocesser för handikappade. I en framåtblickande artikel analyseras problematiken om friskt och sjukt utifrån kartläggning av genetiska markörer. Om den genetiska kartläggningen utsäger att någo
