Photodynamic Therapy of Nonmelanoma Malignant-tumors of the Skin Using Topical Delta-amino Levulinic Acid Sensitization and Laser Irradiation
Eighty basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in 21 patients, 10 lesions of Bowen's disease in three patients, and four lesions of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in two patients, were treated with photodynamic laser therapy (PDT), using topical application of the haem precursor delta-amino levulinic acid (ALA). The diagnoses were confirmed histologically prior to treatment. Fifty-five of the BCCs were superficia
Prospective association of liver function biomarkers with development of hepatobiliary cancers.
Serum liver biomarkers (gamma-glutamyl transferase, GGT; alanine aminotransferase, ALT; aspartate aminotransferase, AST; alkaline phosphatase, ALP; total bilirubin) are used as indicators of liver disease, but there is currently little data on their prospective association with risk of hepatobiliary cancers.
The impact of numeric and graphic displays of ST-segment deviation levels on cardiologists' decisions of reperfusion therapy for patients with acute coronary occlusion.
he study purpose is to determine whether numeric and/or graphic ST measurements added to the display of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) would influence cardiologists' decision to provide myocardial reperfusion therapy. Twenty ECGs with borderline ST-segment deviation during elective percutaneous coronary intervention and 10 controls before balloon inflation were included. Only 5 of the 20 ECGs
Quality-of-life and Surgical Outcome 1 Year After Open and Laparoscopic Incisional Hernia Repair: PROLOVE: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Patients suffering from an incisional hernia after abdominal surgery have an impaired quality of life (QoL). Surgery aims to improve QoL with a minimum risk of further complications. The aim was to analyze QoL, predictors for outcome, including recurrence and reoperation rates during the first postoperative year.
Osteocalcin gene polymorphisms influence concentration of serum osteocalcin and enhance fracture identification.
Osteoporosis is a major health problem affecting more than 75 million people throughout Europe, USA and Japan. Epidemiological studies have determined that both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. We have investigated the association between polymorphisms at the osteocalcin locus and variables linked to bone health. Osteocalcin provides a link between
Thermo-mechanical fatigue crack propagation experiments in Inconel 718
An experimental test facility was developed to perform thermo-mechanical fatigue crack growth experiments. The thermal cycles were generated using hot and cold air flows distributed by a nozzle onto the test specimen. With the equipment it was possible to obtain TMF cycles with cycle times of 120 s with less than 10 °C temperature variation over the measurement length of the sample, cycling betwee
New drugs in migraine treatment and prophylaxis: telcagepant and topiramate.
Although the triptan drugs provide effective relief from migraine for many patients, a substantial number of affected individuals are unresponsive to these compounds, and such therapy can also lead to a range of adverse effects. Telcagepant represents a new class of antimigraine drug-the calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor blockers. This compound exerts its effects by blocking receptors for t
Interaction of right- and left-edge prosodic boundaries in syntactic parsing
This electrophysiological study investigated how right- and left-edge prosodic boundary tones interact in the processing of syntactic structure. Swedish sentences of the type ‘Peter hit Larry(NP2) and Jason(NP3) fell/hard...’ were used. A verb (‘fell’) requires a clause boundary between NP2 and NP3, whereas an adverb (‘hard’) implies continuation of the first clause, which incorporates NP3 as a co
The DNA methylome of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy, with high hyperdiploidy [51-67 chromosomes] and the t(12;21)(p13;q22) [ETV6/RUNX1 fusion] representing the most frequent abnormalities. Although these arise in utero, there is long latency before overt ALL, showing that additional changes are needed. Gene dysregulation through hypermethylation may be such an event; however
Small molecule screen identifies differentiation-promoting compounds targeting genetically diverse acute myeloid leukaemia.
Pathogen specific, IRF3-dependent signaling and innate resistance to human kidney infection.
The mucosal immune system identifies and fights invading pathogens, while allowing non-pathogenic organisms to persist. Mechanisms of pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination are poorly understood, as is the contribution of human genetic variation in disease susceptibility. We describe here a new, IRF3-dependent signaling pathway that is critical for distinguishing pathogens from normal flora at the m
Associations of central and brachial blood pressure with cognitive function: a population-based study.
Previous observational studies on the association between brachial blood pressure (BP) and cognition have reported conflicting results. Central BP has been hypothesized to be more strongly related to cognition than brachial BP. The aim of this study was to assess the association between brachial as well as central BP and cognitive function, both cross-sectionally and with brachial BP measured 17 y
Client experiences in work rehabilitation in Sweden: a one-year follow-up study.
This study, carried out in a work rehabilitation unit in Sweden, investigated how clients perceived their work experiences after a one-year follow up. A semi-structured interview was administered to 14 former clients and a content analysis was applied. Seven categories were derived from the results: 'Expectations of the rehabilitation process'; 'Social relationships'; 'Client influences on the reh
A hybrid microdevice for electrophoresis and electrochromatography using UV detection
We have designed a new class of microdevices composed of a supporting plastic (polyvinyl chloride, PVC) plate integrated with a groove for a piece of fused silica capillary (the separation channel), a slit for on-tube detection, an “islet” for the application of sample, electrode vessels and platinum electrodes. The design permits electrophoretic, electrochromatographic and chromatographic separat
A New Easy-to-Prepare Homogeneous Continuous Electrochromatographic Bed for Enantiomer Recognition
Completely homogeneous polyacrylamide-based gels were used for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) of drug enantiomers. Like continuous beds (also called continuous polymer rods, silica rods, monoliths) they do not require frits to support the bed, because it is covalently linked to the capillary wall. Along lifetime is an important feature of the beds. The gel matrices can be prepared in any la
An Increase in Forearm Cortical Bone Size After Menopause May Influence the Estimated Bone Mineral Loss-A 28-Year Prospective Observational Study.
Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) is the most common estimate of bone mass, incorporated in the World Health Organization definition of osteoporosis. However, aBMD depends on not only the amount of mineral but also the bone size. The estimated postmenopausal decline in aBMD could because of this be influenced by changes in bone size.We measured bone mineral content (BMC; mg), aBMD (mg/cm(2)), and
Determinants for malignancy in surgically treated adrenal lesions.
PURPOSE: It is difficult to definitively rule out or establish malignancy pre-operatively in patients with adrenal lesions referred for adrenal surgery. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for a malignant diagnosis in patients treated with adrenalectomy. METHODS: Consecutive adrenalectomies at the Department of Surgery, Lund University Hospital between 2000 and 2009 were identified.
