OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes after fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (f-EVAR) in a tertiary European referral center. METHODS: All patients treated with commercially available custom-made f-EVAR between September 2002 and June 2007 were prospectively enrolled in a computerized database including co-morbidities and aneurysm morphology. Patients were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up c
ADAMTS13 mRNA, which encodes the von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease, has been detected in a variety of tissues, including the kidney. The aim of our study was to characterize tubular expression and bioactivity of ADAMTS13. ADAMTS13 mRNA was detected in cultured primary human renal tubular epithelial cells (HRTEC) and in A498 cells, a human renal carcinoma cell line, by real-time PCR. Protein

Background and objective: Clinical and experimental studies have revealed a central role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in primary headaches. The role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) in neuronal and glial cell expression of CGRP- immunoreactivity (-ir) in rat trigeminal ganglia was studied with an organ culture method. Experimental procedures: Sections of adult
Introducing a new way of visualizing cDNA microarray data we have identified a new type of systematic variation, which we refer to as plate effects. We believe that plate effects are due to non-biological differences in the cDNA clones products spotted onto the microarray slides. By comparing the consistency of all replicates (both within and between slides) after performing 42 different normaliza
This article reports a series of model experiments where tense vowel configurations were transformed in steps to lax configurations in order to estimate the contribution of each articulator to the spectral contrast. Traditionally, the contrast of tenseness in vowels has been associated with the degree of constriction of the passage between the tongue arch and the palate and with vowel quantity, bo
Many genes and proteins are required to carry out the processes of innate and adaptive immunity. For many studies, including systems biology, it is necessary to have a clear and comprehensive definition of the immune system, including the genes and proteins that take part in immunological processes. We have identified and cataloged a large portion of the human immunology-related genes, which we ca
Discusses how a series of artefacts became important for cultural processes in a Swedish IT company during a turbulent period in business - a period that was known as "the new economy".
This article reviews and refutes the critique forwarded in Timo Laato's article against the first chapter in my book "Bibeltolkningens bakgator".
