The objectives of this study were to examine potential clinical and neuropsychological changes over time in non-demented patients with subjective memory complaints (

Objectives - To detect post-operative sequelae of sural nerve biopsy. Materials and methods-- A questionnaire mailed to type 1 diabetic patients (n = 24; male/female 23/1; reply n = 23) 2 years after biopsy. Results - Type 1 diabetic patients (age 56 [11]; median [interquartile range]) had a long duration of diabetes (DM; 20 [19] years) and all had neuropathy. Three out of 24 patients developed in

BACKGROUND: Matrilysin (MMP-7) elevation after radiotherapy is shown in humans. Matrilysin regulates certain cytokines and the production of bactericidal proteins when the mucosa is exposed to bacterial antigens. We investigate the effect of irradiation on matrilysin and microflora in murine bowel, after modulation with antibiotics. METHODS: Animals were divided into two different groups a radiati

Multiple myeloma (MM) is consistently preceded by the precursor state, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). The average annual risk of progression from MGUS to multiple myeloma is 0.5% to 1.0%. Current guidelines suggest life-long clinical follow-up of individuals diagnosed as having MGUS depending on risk stratification. The impact of diagnosing and conducting clinical follo

Blix et al. found in a recent meta-analysis (MA) that intrapartum fetal surveillance with ECG ST analysis (STAN) results in a significant 36% decrease in metabolic acidosis at birth compared to cardiotocography (CTG) alone (1). This demonstrates that STAN monitoring could better than CTG alone protect against hypoxia proceeding to metabolic acidosis. However, by referring to the weak association b

We review the main results concerning high-order generation processes from the point of view of a potential user of this new source of XUV radiation. The perspectives for optimizing the source, both in efficiency and in spectral range, its characteristics and in particular, its coherence properties, are discussed. Finally, we describe two experiments, which demonstrate the usefulness of the harmon

Enligt 12 kap. 10 § regeringsformen ska förvaltningsorgan på samma sätt som domstolarna kunna pröva om lagar och andra föreskrifter överensstämmer med högre författning. Bestämmelsen ger upphov till frågor om förvaltningens konstitutionella roll och har kritiserats i den juridiska debatten. I statsvetenskapliga undersökningar har en spänning identifierats mellan förvaltningens roll som å ena sidan

New radiative lifetime measurements performed with time-resolved laser spectroscopy for the 6p(1/2) and 6p(3/2) levels of La III provide a unique opportunity for testing the adequacy of the relativistic Hartree-Fock approach for atomic structure calculations in this ion. As a consequence of the comparison, an extensive set of accurate f-values is provided for many La III and Lu III UV and visible

Review of Lundborg, Johan, När ateismen erövrade Sverige : Ingemar Hedenius och debatten kring tro och vetande. Nora; Nya Doxa, 2002

Fokusgruppsintervjun är en i pedagogiska sammanhang vanligt använd metod, och erbjuder genom sin öppna form många intressanta möjligheter. I denna artikel betraktas dessa möjligheter i ett postkvalitativt perspektiv, med särskild inspiration i Gilles Deleuzes och Félix Guattaris filosofi. Fokusgruppsintervjun ses här som en metodologiskt konstruerad händelse, vilken skapar mellanrum där begär kan

The PFS-16 is a 16-item fatigue scale for Parkinson's disease (PD) developed in the UK. However, documented translations and psychometric evaluations are sparse. Aim - To translate the PFS-16 into Swedish and conduct initial testing of its psychometric properties. Methods - Following translation, the PFS-16 was administered twice (2 weeks apart) to 30 people with PD (18 men; mean age/PD duration,
