BACKGROUND: Many individuals with late effects of polio have difficulties participating in daily activities. The Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNL-I) is a self-report questionnaire that evaluates perceived participation, but knowledge of the test-retest reliability and measurement errors in this population is lacking.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the RNL-I in adults

Precis som vår egen stjärna, Solen, har planeter kretsande runtom sig så har vi nu börjat upptäcka planeter kretsande runt avlägsna stjärnor därute i Vintergatan. Specialdesignade rymdbaserade teleskop, som COROT och Kepler, tillsammans med markbaserade teleskop, analyserar stjärnornas ljus och letar efter täcken på avlägsna exoplaneter.As there are planets orbiting our own star, the Sun, we have now started discovering planets orbiting distant stars, out in the galaxy. Specially designed space based telescopes, such as COROT and Kepler, are together with ground based telescopes gathering and analyzing light from distant stars, looking for hits that these stars may harbor exoplanets.

1. In the presence of indomethacin (IM, 10 μM) and N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NOARG, 0.3 mM), acetylcholine (ACh) induces an endothelium-dependent smooth muscle hyperpolarization and relaxation in the rat isolated hepatic artery. The potassium (K) channel inhibitors, tetrabutylammonium (TBA, 1 mM) and to a lesser extent 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 1 mM) inhibited the L-NOARG/IM-resistant relaxation induc

Att ägg är en bra del i en för övrigt sund kost för friska är okontroversiellt. Men hur långt kan man generalisera? När kosten i sin helhet är bra försämrar ägg i normalfallet inte blodfetterna hos personer med typ 2-diabetes och övervikt. Ägg kan då tvärtom bidra till en förbättrad viktkontroll, glukostolerans och mindre leverpåverkan. Om helheten däremot inte är bra, om vikten är på uppåtgående

The aim of the MIRACHL project is the characterisation and monitoring of in-situ remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination using an interdisciplinary approach and geophysical methods, such as DCIP (direct current induced polarisation) to investigate the remediation process. To interpret these geophysical field IP data, lab investigations with different kinds of bacteria are necessary to

A complete reliability study of the high-frequency characteristics for nMOSFETs on InGaAs channel with Al2O3/HfO2 gate dielectric is presented. DC gate voltage stress causes an increase in the transconductance frequency dispersion. Stress induced border traps degrade the maximum DC-transconductance, but do not react at high frequencies. The main degradation characteristics of the high-frequency me

Nociceptive withdrawal reflexes (NWRs) were studied in adult rats in which the movement patterns produced by single muscles had been altered by neonatal tendon transfer. NWRs evoked by cutaneous noxious mechanical and thermal (CO2-laser) stimulation were recorded using electromyography in a decerebrate spinal preparation. The sensitivity distribution within the receptive fields of the NWRs of the

In the present study, partial lesions of the lower thoracic spinal cord in rats anaesthetized with halothane and nitrous oxide were made in order to elucidate which of the spinal funiculi mediate a nociceptive C fibre input to SI. Field potentials evoked by noxious CO2-laser stimulation were recorded in the left SI. Nociceptive C fibre input from the right hindpaw to SI was propagated by the dorsa
