Patients receiving oral anticoagulant treatment have abnormally low levels of functional vitamin K-dependent coagulation proteins and consequently a clear risk of hemorrhagic complications. The incidence of hemorrhages has been reported to be around 0.6-0.7% per month at a therapeutic International Normalized Ratio (INR) and the incidence of major hemorrhagic events is substantial. Therefore, the
Background: Insulin is a therapeutic protein that is widely used for the treatment of diabetes. Its biological function was discovered more than 80 years ago and it has since then been characterized extensively. Crystallization of the insulin molecule has always been a key activity since the protein is often administered by subcutaneous injections of crystalline insulin formulations. Over the year
In 1990, a joint Nordic-Russian project was initiated in order to make independent estimations of the effective dose to selected groups of inhabitants in a highly contaminated area around the city of Novozybkov In the western Bryansk region of Russia. The inhabitants were living in six villages with initial contamination levels of Cs-137 between 0.9 and 2.7 MBq m(-2). Some villages had been decont
It has been possible to sensitize the rat urethra without cutting its nerves. This was achieved by hypertrophy or disuse. Hypertrophy of the urethra (2-4-fold weight increase) was caused by the presence of an intraluminal paraffin bolus. Disuse was caused by diverting the flow of urine from the lower urinary tract. When examined in vitro after an experimental period of 1 to 4 weeks the EC50 value

Mucin-1 has proven to be a suitable target for antibody-based diagnosis and therapy of certain tumours, but no appropriate human antibody or antibody fragment displaying slow dissociation rate kinetics against this target is available. Since a rapid dissociation character prevents an antibody fragment from remaining at the site of the antigen, this fact may prevent the successful application of a
Leflunomide is a low molecular weight immunosuppressive drug which inhibits the enzymes dehydroorotate dehydrogenase and protein tyrosine kinase, both of which are important components in the immune response. As the mechanisms of action of leflunomide and tacrolimus are different, we postulated an additive or synergistic effect of the two drugs and investigated the effects of leflunomide alone, or
Materialdata för de vanligaste byggnadsmaterialen presenteras. Materialens egenskaper redovisas som funktion av den relativa fuktigheten och kan användas för att beräkna fukttransport i konstruktioner. Skriften innehåller också exempel på hur fuktdata kan användas i beräkningar samt sambanden mellan olika fukttransportkoefficienter
Abstract in Danish I de industrialiserede lande har 7-10% af den voksne befolkning astma, og tallet har de seneste årtier været stigende [1]. Lægediagnosticeret astma i Danmark er øget fra 4 til 7-10%, og allergisk rinitis eller kronisk ikkeallergisk rinitis er øget fra 10% til 20-25% over en 20-årig periode [2]. Astma er den hyppigste kroniske sygdom hos unge og unge voksne, og en høj forekomst a

The aim was to study the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Chronic Pain Coping Inventory. The material consisted of a group of 100 subjects recruited from a large population study. Pain status and the absence of pain-related sick leave during the previous year conditioned inclusion. Another group comprised 160 patients on the long-term sick list and who had been referred to a m
Using known results on 4-Engel groups one can see that a 4-Engel group is locally nilpotent if and only if all its 3-generator subgroups are nilpotent. As a step towards settling the question whether all 4-Engel groups are locally nilpotent we show that all 2-generator 4-Engel groups are nilpotent.
