BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The treatment of acquired aplastic anemia (AA) is based on allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and immunosuppressive therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of children and adults with AA treated in the last decade, and to determine whether results have improved in two sequential time periods,1991-1996 and 1997-2002. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two-thou

Purpose. To define the association between venous volume as measured with air-plethysmography and the duplex ultrasound measured diameter of incompetent perforator of the lower limb. Patients and methods. Thirty-six patients with chronic venous disease were investigated with air-plethysmography and duplex ultrasound. Venous volume and venous filling time was measured. Venous filling index was calc

This paper reports on a parallel implementation of a general 3D multi-block CFD code. The parallelization is achieved by using three strategies. Firstly, it is done on dual-processor PC-clusters where Windows NT systems are running. A multi-thread programming model is adopted for the multi-block code, where one thread corresponds to a block. Shared-memory is used for the exchange of inner-boundari

Insulin secretion after dietary supplementation with conjugated linoleic acids and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in normal and insulin-resistance mice. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 290: E347-E354, 2006. First published September 27, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00163.2005.-Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) improve insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant

The generation of thrombin by the prothrombinase complex is a key event in coagulation. In this complex, the activated form of coagulation factor V (FVa) serves as an essential cofactor to factor Xa (FXa) in the activation of prothrombin to thrombin. The enzyme FXa is virtually ineffective in the absence of its cofactor. The assembly of FXa with its cofactor FVa on negatively charged phospholipid

Popular Abstract in Swedish Psykiatriska vårdares erfarenheter av omvårdnad, grupphandledning och individuellt planerad omvårdnad på en avdelning för vård av gravt dementa personer och på en allmänpsykiatrisk avdelning. Avhandlingens övergripande syfte var att undersöka vårdarnas upplevelse av omvårdnadsarbetet samt betydelsen och effekterna av införandet av systematisk klinisk grupphandledning oThe aim of this thesis was to investigate nurses’ lived experience of daily nursing care and the impact and lived experiences of one years intervention with systematic clinical group supervision and supervised individually planned nur-sing care. This was carried out at an experimental ward (EW) (n=19) housing patients with dementia in comparison with a similar control ward (CW) (n=20) using a quas

Rapporten innehåller en detaljerad manual till PC-programmet RISK1 samt två exempel som presenteras uförligt. Programmet är det första allmänt tillgängliga för att bedöma risken eller sannolikheten för att kondens skall uppkomma i en konstruktion

Hydration of hen egg white lysozyme was studied by using the method of sorption calorimetry at 25, 40, and 50degreesC. Desorption calorimetric measurements were performed at 25 and 40degreesC. The activity of water and partial molar enthalpy of mixing of water were determined as functions of water content. Hydration of lysozyme occurs in four steps: slow penetration of water into the protein-prote

Introduction of duty cycle in the binary addressing technique is proposed to enable integration of liquid crystal display drivers with a digital system in a single chip. An analysis of this technique with duty-cycle control is presented. Effects of duty-cycle control on brightness uniformity of pixels in the liquid crystal display are discussed. A system on chip implementation of the technique is

A novel radioimmunoassay of type-specific M antigens on whole group A streptococcal cells is described. Absorbed rabbit anti-M antisera directed against M types 12 and 49 were used for determining M antigens on intact bacterial organisms. Staphylococcal protein A labelled with 125I was used as an anti-antibody reagent. The absorbed antisera were tested against ten homologous and 48 heterologous se

MIMO has been proposed as an extension to 3G and Wireless LANs. As an implementation scheme of MIMO systems, V-BLAST is suitable for the applications with very high data rates. The square root algorithm for V-BLAST detection is attractive to hardware implementations due to its low computational complexity and numerical stability. In this paper, the fixed-point implementation of the square root alg

Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a widely used technique for measuring the dielectric constant (K-a) and bulk electrical conductivity (sigma(a)) of soil. The K-a measurement can be converted to water content (theta) by means of a (soil specific) calibration. Since the accuracy of the K-a measurement is dependent on the TDR probe length, probes longer than about 0.1 m are preferred. However, shor

A summary of the aging and material validation studies carried out for the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) is presented. Particular emphasis is put on the different phenomena observed in straw tubes operating with the chosen Xe/CF4/CO2 mixture. The most serious effects observed are silicon deposition on the anode wire and damage of the anode wire gold plating. Etching phenomena and active
