This study from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR) compares cemented (Thompson(®), Exeter Trauma Stem (ETS)(®)) and uncemented (Austin-Moore(®)) monoblock hemiarthroplasties (n=1116 and 616, respectively) with modular ones (n=18,659). Austin-Moore(®) prostheses lead to more re-operations (6.7%) compared to modular implants (3.5%) and Thompson(®)/ETS(®) (2.4%). A Cox regression analysis,

The performance of two different dual antenna hand-held test mobile terminals has been investigated in a realistic indoor office environment and scenario, with respect to antenna performance, diversity combining and Shannon MIMO channel capacity. Measurements of a 2times2 MIMO channel at 1877.5 MHz (narrowband) were performed using a dual-polarized base station antenna. Analyses show that diversit

Summary Alternative treatments for seborrhoeic dermatitis are needed because of the increasing risk of anti-fungal resistance to existing therapies. To investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of topical scalp treatment with K301 solution. Two multi-centre, randomised, double-blind studies were conducted. Study I: 4 weeks of once-daily treatment with either one form of K301 (a or b) or pl

BACKGROUND: The FFAR1 receptor is expressed mainly in pancreatic beta cells and is activated by medium to long chain free fatty acids (FFAs), as well as by thiazolidinediones, resulting in elevated Ca(2+) concentrations and promotion of insulin secretion. These properties suggest that FFAR1 could be a mediator of lipotoxicity and a potential candidate gene for Type 2 diabetes (T2D). We therefore i

BACKGROUND: Analysis of biomedical research and publications in a country or group of countries is used to monitor research progress and trends. This study aims to assess the performance of biomedical research in the Arab world during 2001-2005 and to compare it with other Middle Eastern non-Arab countries. METHODS: PubMed and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-expanded) were searched systematic

Study Design. Descriptive register studyObjective. To describe preoperative levels of leg and back pain in patients operated for lumbar spinal stenosis and to obtain information on how three different pain constellations (back pain < leg leg pain, back pain > leg pain, back pain = leg pain) correlate to HRQoL and function in different morphological types of stenosis.Summary of Background Data. Deg

Superficial blood perfusion mas monitored using laser-Doppler perfusion imaging in connection with a phase LII clinical trial comparing photodynamic therapy, utilizing topically applied aminoleuvlinic acid, with cryotherapy of basal cell, carcinomas. A total of 526 images mere recorded before and immediately after the treatment and during the follow-up period. Before treatment, the lesions exhibit

We describe a 23-year-old male patient who presented with spontaneous intermittent and increasing attacks of severe, left-sided thunderclap headache combined with rapidly progressive muscle weakness and dysphasia, including gradual loss of consciousness. Subsequent CT, MRI and DSA showed progressive brain ischaemia and oedema within the left cerebral hemisphere with strict ipsilateral segmental ar

The design and features of frequency-selective wallpaper created for attachment onto regular walls in order to filter out signals operating at 5 GHz while at the same time allowing the desired radio communication services to propagate through such walls are presented. An analysis of the characteristics of the radio channel evaluated in a typical indoor environment, when considering either regular
