Women younger than 50 have a lower age-specific incidence of CVD than men. With advancing age this difference gradually disappears. These well-established facts provide the rationale for numerous primary and a few secondary intervention studies with ERT. With increasing sophistication and longer observation periods, both case-control and cohort studies agree on a cardioprotective effect by estroge

Popular Abstract in Swedish Yrsel är ett mycket vanligt symtom bland patienter inom olika specialiteter inom sjukvården. Orsaken bakom symtomen kan ligga i neurologiska sjukdomar, sjukdomar i innerörats balansorgan samt i psykiatriska sjukdomar, framför allt ångestsjukdomar. Medicinska undersökningar leder inte alltid till att orsaken till yrseln konstateras i en specifik sjukdom och ibland kan maDizziness is a common problem and it often co-exists with anxiety. Level of anxiety is the best predictor of handicap for dizzy patients. There is diagnostic controversy and few treatment programs for such patients. These patients can be labeled as panic disorder with agoraphobia or by the concept of Phobic Postural Vertigo which is characterized by dizziness or imbalance in standing or walking de

Background: Iceland's geographical isolation with a stable and small population gives a rare opportunity for follow-up studies of medical interventions. Total hip replacements (THR) have been done at FSA Central Hospital in Akureyri, Iceland since 1982 with the Exeter hip implant being in use from the beginning. Methods: Hospital records for all patients operated on with THR between 1982 and the e

In this paper, a novel set of V-dipole basis functions is introduced. These basis functions are used to approximate the induced surface current density on an infinite, plane frequency selective surface (FSS). The elements of the FSS are supposed to consist of straight sections and bends. Two groups of elements which the present V-dipole basis functions can be applied to are identified, namely, the

Previous time series evidence has indicated that farmland prices and cash rents are not cointegrated, a finding at odds with the present value model of farmland prices. We argue that this failure to find cointegration may be due to low power of tests and to the presence of structural change representing a shifting risk premium on farmland investments. To accommodate this possibility, we use panel

High spin states in 76Rb were investigated via the reaction 40Ca(40Ca,3pn)76Rb at 128 MeV. The level scheme was established from γγ, γγγ and recoil-γ coincidences measured in the EUROGAM I array in combination with the Daresbury recoil separator. The known rotational bands were extended up to the excitation energy Ex≊9.2 MeV and spins Iπ=(21+) and (19-). The band head energies could be fixed by ma

Lower leg lymphatics, taken from seven volunteers, were investigated in vitro. Isometric contractions were induced by noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), and the thromboxane A2 (TXA2)-mimetic U-44069. Noradrenaline induced phasic contractions in 6 of 7 segments. The amplitude of the contractions were up to 100% of a previous K+ (124mM)-induced contractio

The authors assessed determinants of ergosterol, 3-OH fatty acids (FAs), and viable microbes in vacuum cleaner dust, and investioated the association between these microbial markets and childhood asthma. The authors studied the homes of 36 children who were new cases of childhood asthma and the homes of 36 controls. Home characteristics explained 34% to 44% of the variation in levels of different

The endogenous NPY system in the brain is centrally involved in seizure regulation. The present paper reviews the evidence that exogenously applied NPY receptor ligands can inhibit epileptic seizures in various rodent in vitro and in vivo models. Agonists at Y2 and/or Y5 receptors and antagonists at Y1 receptors appear to inhibit seizures, depending on the seizure model studied. Although progress

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie rapporterar ett undervisningsförsök i en 8:e klass (age 14-15) med 20 elever. Eleverna har bearbetat en naturvetenskaplig problemställning om växthuseffekten och jordens globala uppvärmning utifrån ett problemlösande och informationssökandarbete i grupp. Deras uppgift har varit att beskriva de fenomen och faktorer som påverkar jordens globala temperatur i oThis study gives an account of a teaching situation in the eighth grade with 20 student's aged 14-15. The students have worked with a scientific problem focussed on the greenhouse effect and the earth's global warming, based on a problem solving and information seeking way of working in groups. Their task has been to describe the phenomena and factors that influence the earth's global temperature

Sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial chromite grains (63-355 mu m) have been recovered in a section across the Arenig-Llanvirn transition in the Killerod quarry in southeastern Scania. Previous studies of the same stratigraphic interval in the Orthoceratite Limestone at Kinnekulle, ca. 350 km to the north in Vastergotland, have shown a two orders of magnitude increase in extraterrestrial chromite b
