Fluorescence lifetimes of formaldehyde excited by picosecond laser radiation with a wavelength of 355 nm were determined in nitrogen gas in a cell using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The measurements were conducted at temperatures between 295 and 770 K and pressures up to 10 bar (1 MPa). Detection was broadband in most cases. Temperature and pressure were found to have a q
Objective. To examine if changes in serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) correlate with the development of cartilage damage, as measured by histological grading, in corticosteroid-treated animals with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Methods. DA rats with established CIA were treated with corticosteroids (betamethasone, 0.1 mg/kg body weight) or placebo (saline) intraperitoneally once
We evaluated 2 consecutive cohorts of patients with primary trapeziometacarpal arthrosis 1 year after either first metacarpal osteotomy or trapezial excision with abductor pollicis longus tendon arthroplasty. At follow-up, 4 of 7 patients treated with osteotomy had pain at rest and/or with light activities and were dissatisfied with the results of surgery, all 4 had advanced (stage III) preoperati
This paper argues in line with recent work by Pesetsky and Torrego that given the operation Agree there is no need for the concept Abstract Case in Narrow Syntax. Morphological case exists in many languages, and is here, following a suggestion by Halldór Sigurðsson, seen as the result of an instruction to PF how to translate syntactic structure into morphology. I will call this instruction CAM, sh
We present a general model study of surface-enhanced resonant Raman scattering and fluorescence, focusing on the interplay between electromagnetic (EM) effects and the molecular dynamics as treated by a density matrix calculation. The model molecule has two electronic levels, is affected by radiative and nonradiative damping mechanisms, and a Franck-Condon mechanism yields electron-vibration coupl
OBJECTIVE: Limited data concerning serum lipids and lipoproteins are available on the effect of HRT in perimenopausal women, who commonly have marked bleeding disturbances and may have severe climacteric symptoms. Almost all previously published data have utilized a simplified form of lipoprotein analysis, which includes an estimation and not a determination of LDL cholesterol. To delineate the ro
Geographical variations in cardiovascular mortality have been reported from Mid-Sweden. IHD mortality for men aged 45-64 was 60% higher in the western part than in the east. Mortality from stroke for men aged 45-74 was 73% higher on the west. Similar differences were found for women. One possible explanation could be that there are no incidence differences but that the mortality differences are du
OBJECTIVES: To examine cardiovascular physiology in the healthy fetus during normal development. DESIGN: Twenty normal fetuses were studied longitudinally from 20 weeks to term. Serial echocardiography was performed, and arterial and venous diameter pulse wave characteristics and aortic pulse wave propagation velocity (PWV) were examined in the thoracic descending aorta (AoD) and inferior caval ve
We present an approach proving the integrability of the Camassa-Holm equation for initial data of small amplitude.

Several lines of evidence indicate that neurotrophic factors (NTFs) could be key causal mediators in the development of acquired epileptic syndromes. Yet the trophic properties of NTFs indicate that they might be used to treat epilepsy-associated damage. Accordingly, different NTFs, or even the same NTF, could produce functionally contrasting effects in the context of epilepsy. Recent experimental
Purpose:To study survival in two groups of dysphagic patients - one group unable to elicit the pharyngeal stage of swallow (APS) and another group with pharyngeal swallow (WPS) - and to compare recommendations regarding nutrition and therapeutic strategies based on the therapeutic swallowing study. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of dysphagic patients who have under
