Few studies have examined the association between LS in the oldest-old and not only health-related, but also psychological and socio-economical factors. The aim of this study was to examine LS in relation to functional capacity, locus of control (LoC) health status and other factors previously known to influence LS in the oldest-old. The study population consisted of 681 individuals aged 78-98 yea
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: It is well known that physicians' night-call duty may cause impaired performance and adverse effects on subjective health, but there is limited knowledge about effects on sleep duration and recovery time. In recent years occupational stress and impaired well-being among anaesthesiologists have been frequently reported for in the scientific literature. Given their main focus o
Background A routine goal in the analysis of microarray data is to identify genes with expression levels that correlate with known classes of experiments. In a growing number of array data sets, it has been shown that there is an over-abundance of genes that discriminate between known classes as compared to expectations for random classes. Therefore, one can search for novel classes in array data
The concentrations of ''free'' chloride and hydroxide ions in extracted pore solution from concrete exposed and submerged in a marine field station were studied by the pore solution expression method. In addition, the corresponding concentrations of total acid soluble chloride in the concrete was analyzed. The relationship between total and free chlorides was analyzed and compared with similar dat
Aliasing gives a lower bound for the sampling rate in ordinary spectral analysis of a time series. In parametric it appears at first sight that no such limitations are present. In this note we will obtain insight into this paradox by analyzing a simple Gauss-Markov process. We assume that a time series analysis is performed based on N samples of the series at equal spacing h. The result shows that

In this article, results from a series of studies on the relationships between socioeconomic factors and stroke processes (stroke unit care, acute reperfusion treatment, secondary prevention with oral anticoagulants and statins) and outcomes (long-term survival, return to work and risk of suicide and suicide attempts) are summarized. The overall pattern is that acute and secondary prevention inter

Acta Neurol Scand: 2011: 123: 424-429. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Background - No previous study prospectively investigated the effects of subthalamic deep brain stimulation on fear of falling (FOF) and falls. Aim - The aim was to p
Intrastriatal grafts of stem cell-derived dopamine (DA) neurons induce behavioral recovery in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD), but how they functionally integrate in host neural circuitries is poorly understood. Here, Wnt5a-overexpressing neural stem cells derived from embryonic ventral mesencephalon of tyrosine hydroxylase-GFP transgenic mice were expanded as neurospheres and transplant
Objective: An intervention to structure patient-key worker communication has been tested in a randomized controlled trial. The aim of this paper was to investigate effectiveness of the intervention in terms of moderators of effectiveness. Method: A total of 507 patients with schizophrenia were included. Moderators of effectiveness were investigated using two-way anovas. Results: Patients with a be
