Useful clinical tests are lacking for the controversial entity "cervical vertigo". In earlier studies patients assumed to suffer from cervical vertigo or dizziness manifested disturbed postural control as compared to healthy subjects, but were hard to distinguish from patients with other balance disorders. Using posturography in which stance was perturbed by a vibratory stimulus applied towards th

Background The aim of the Nordic Diltiazem (NORDIL) Study was to compare patients with essential hypertension receiving calcium-antagonist-based treatment with diltiazem and similar patients receiving conventional diuretic/beta-blocker-based treatment, with respect to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objective To assess the influence of age, sex, severity of hypertension and heart rate on t

An entity is described which is characterized by low back pain and increased radionuclide uptake in the sacrum at bone scintigraphy in postmenopausal women having received radiotherapy towards the pelvis because of gynaecological malignancy. The findings stimulate bone metastases, but are in all likelihood caused by insufficiency fractures of the sacrum promoted by bone weakness induced by postmen

We have developed high-throughput tests for the detection of the insulin gene region SNPs -23HphI and -2221MspI. The potential of these markers to enhance the efficiency of type I diabetes risk screening was then evaluated by analyzing them in Finnish and Swedish populations. Blood spots on filter paper were analyzed using PCR followed by sequence- specific hybridization and time-resolved fluorome

Naturgas är ett rent bränsle som endast innehåller små mängder föroreningar, [1]. Jämfört med kol är föekomsten av föroreningar i naturgas vanligen 1000 ggr mindre. Man får därför inga problem med svaveldioxid, tungmetaller, klorerade föroreningar etc i avgaserna. Vid normal drift bildas mycket lite sot och de huvudsakliga förbränningsprodukterna är vatten och koldioxid. Vatten ställer normalt int

OBJECTIVE: To determine if the frequency of alpha 1AT deficiency (PiZ) is increased in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and, to investigate whether aneurysmal stiffness and other clinical characteristics differ in AAA patients with and without alpha 1AT deficiency. METHODS: We identified alpha 1AT-deficient individuals by a monoclonal-antibody ELISA technique, in 102 consecutive pati

Biotechnological leaching has been proposed as a suitable method for extraction of vanadium from spent catalysts and oil ash. In the biological leaching process, the vanadium(V) can be reduced to vanadium(IV), which is a less toxic and more soluble form of the vanadium. The present investigation showed that Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans efficiently reduced vanadium(V) in the form of vanadium pent

An on-line microdetector containing amperometric biosensors was used for high temporal resolution (t(90%) approximate to 120 s) monitoring of glucose and ethanol concentrations during small scale fermentations. ne ability of the microdetector to report on the effect of different experimental conditions was tested in fermentation processes carried out at 30 and at 37 degrees C. An increased ethanol

Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudsyftet med studien har varit att ta fram matematiska samband för dimensionering av processutrustning – dimensionering är ett klassiskt ingenjörsproblem. Korrekt dimensionering är viktig för att utrustningen skall fungera tillfredsställande och dessutom inte resultera i onödiga investerings- och driftskostnader. Den matematiska modell (en uppsättning ekvationer) soA study concerning closure relations pertinent to the design of sorption equipment of absorption heat pumps has been undertaken. Specifically, thermosiphon and vertical falling film arrangements were studied. For the thermosiphon, experimental data on the void fraction, the friction and orifice pressure drops, and the heat transfer coefficient at sub-atmospheric pressures were obtained for vapori

The aim of this study was to describe first-time mothers' views of satisfaction with their first encounter with the nurse, in order to investigate differences between home visits and clinic visits and between high/middle and low socioeconomic classification (SEC). A nation-wide postal questionnaire sent to 800 first-time mothers yielded the data for statistical analysis. Data were collected using
