How many ECG leads do we need?
The number of leads needed in clinical electrocardiography depends on the clinical problem to be solved. The standard 12-lead ECG is so well established that alternative lead systems must prove their advantage through well-conducted clinical studies to achieve clinical acceptance. Certain additional leads seem to add valuable information in specific patient groups. The use of a large number of lea
Decision making in paediatric care: an overview with reference to nursing care.
Anti-TNF therapy in RA and risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), Stroke and any Cardiovascular (CVD) events up to 7 years after treatment stare
Human B1 and B2 bradykinin receptors and their agonists target caveolae-related lipid rafts to different degrees in HEK293 cells
To address the targeting of G protein-coupled receptors to caveolae-related lipid rafts (CLR), we studied the human B2 (B2R) and B1 (B1R) bradykinin receptor subtypes in HEK293 cells. CLR were enriched on the basis of their unique buoyant density and composition of cholesterol, caveolin-1, and flotillin-1 but not clathrin. CLR contained B2R and B1R as determined by both receptor immunoblotting and
Molecular cluster based nanoelectronics
The use of molecular clusters as a basis of molecular single-electronic systems is considered experimentally and theoretically. The Langmuir-Blodgett formation and scanning tunneling microscope study of structures with chemically different cluster molecules is described. I-V curves and control curves of molecular single-electron transistors based on various single molecules were studied at room te
The C-terminus of the gamma2 chain but not of the beta3 chain of laminin-332 is indirectly but indispensably necessary for integrin-mediated cell reactions
Using a recombinant mini-laminin-332, we showed that truncation of the three C-terminal amino acids of the gamma2 chain, but not of the C-terminal amino acid of the beta3 chain, completely abolished alpha3beta1 integrin binding and its cellular functions, such as attachment and spreading. However, a synthetic peptide mimicking the gamma2 chain C-terminus did not interfere with alpha3beta1 integrin
Responses of vegetation and soil microbial communities to warming and simulated herbivory in a subarctic heath
1. Climate warming increases the cover of deciduous shrubs in arctic ecosystems and herbivory is also known to have a strong influence on the biomass and composition of vegetation. However, research combining herbivory with warming is largely lacking. Our study describes how warming and simulated herbivory affect vegetation, soil nutrient concentrations and soil microbial communities after 10-13 y
Distribution of different fibre types in human skeletal muscles. A statistical and computational study of the fibre type arrangement in m. vastus lateralis of young, healthy males
To test whether the arrangement of fibre types in the human muscle (m. vastus lateralis) from clinically healthy and young males can be regarded as random, fascicles at different parts of the muscle and with different fibre type proportions were studied. The randomness of the arrangement of fibre types was assessed by the number of enclosed fibres in a fascicle and, on the basis of a model, tested
N-acetylcysteine administration during the first week of life does not improve lung function in extremely low birth weight infants
Oxygen toxicity is thought to be an important factor involved in development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in the very preterm infant. Glutathione (GSH) plays a major role in the antioxidant defense system in the preterm lung and there are theoretical implications that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment could improve its function. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether NAC treatm
On complex adaptive systems and agent-based modelling for improving decision-making in manufacturing and logistics settings: Experiences from a packaging company
Purpose – This paper aims to contribute to the tactical and operational decision making of manufacturing and logistics operations by providing novel insights into modelling and simulation, based on complex adaptive systems (CAS). Design/methodology/approach – The research approach is theoretically based on CAS with agent-based modelling (ABM) as the implementation method. A case study is presented
Survival in patients with hypertension treated in primary care. A population-based follow-up study in the Skaraborg Hypertension and Diabetes Project.
A framework for process indicators to monitor for sustainable development: Practice to an urban water system
Although very often used, the concept of sustainable development has not yet been perceived pragmatically. Due to its process nature, in this paper, we argue that sustainable development is a process in which the essential feedback loops, or Viability Loops as we name them, in the system in question are kept healthy and functional. This process deals with evolutionary changes with the end point no
A Kinetic Study of the Dry 5O2-Linestone Reaction at Low Temperature
The dry reaction between SO2 and limestone has been investigated at low temperatures. The study was focused on the wet-dry scrubbing application. Parameters investigated included: temperature: 313–353 K, SO2 concentration: 50–4000 ppm, oxygen concentration: 0–9 percent, carbon dioxide concentration: 0–10 percent, relative humidity 0–92 percent, limestone panicle diameter: 4–100 microns, and limest
Down-Regulation of CEBPA Expression Has a Stronger Impact on Myeloid Differentiation in Human Versus Mouse Cells: Mechanistic Implications for CEBPA Mutations in AML.
Is the wall of a cellulose fiber saturated with liquid whether or not permeable with CO2 dissolved molecules? Application to bubble nucleation in champagne wines
In this paper, the transversal diffusion coefficient D of CO2 dissolved molecules through the wall of a hydrated cellulose fiber was approached, from the liquid bulk diffusion coefficient of CO2 dissolved molecules modified by an obstruction factor. The porous network between the cellulose microfibrils of the fiber wall was assumed being saturated with liquid. We retrieved information from previou
Interferometry of direct photons in central 208Pb+208Pb collisions at 158A GeV
Two-particle correlations of direct photons were measured in central (208Pb+208Pb collisions at 158A GeV. The invariant interferometric radii were extracted for 100
The use of beta 2-adrenoceptor agonists in the treatment of bronchial asthma
All guidelines recommend short-acting inhaled beta 2-adrenoceptor agonists as the first-line drugs in acute asthma attacks and inhaled corticosteroids as the drugs of choice when regular daily treatment is needed. Short-acting inhaled beta 2-adrenoceptor agonists are not effective in reducing nocturnal awakenings because of their short duration of action. In addition there has been an intense deba
Effects of long-term treatment with oxytocin in chronic constipation; a double blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial.
Immune response in burn patients in relation to HIV infection and sepsis
The post-burn immune dysfunction predisposes patients to sepsis and multiple organ failure leading to increased mortality. HIV infection also results in a depressed immune response. The combination of burn injury and HIV might therefore lead to an increased morbidity and mortality as compared to non-HIV infected burn patients. Twenty burn patients and 10 healthy volunteers were included in a prosp
