Transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) is a novel strategy to restore function in the diseased brain, acting through multiple mechanisms, e.g., neuronal replacement, neuroprotection and modulation of inflammation. Whether transplanted NSCs can operate by fusing with microglial cells or mature neurons is largely unknown. Here we have studied the interaction of a mouse embryonic stem cell-deriv

A 2.4-GHz CMOS VCO is presented employing pMOS transistors as voltage-controlled capacitances and on-chip hollow spiral inductors. The design was implemented in a standard digital 0.8 mu m CMOS process and exhibits a 15% tuning range at 2.5 V supply voltage and 9 mA supply current. Phase-noise measurements show a phase-noise of about -118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz from the carrier.

The subjects of this article are Kozhevnikov and Chistovitch's finding regarding the constancy of relative syllable durations and the inconstancy of relative speech sound durations for different rates of speech, and their proposal that vowels are elided because the necessary minimum duration of a consonant consumes all the time that happens to have been assigned to the syllable. The relative cons

Pediococcus parvulus 2.6 (previously Pediococcus damnosus 2.6, here confirmed as P. parvulus by 16S DNA sequencing) displayed antibacterial activity toward several bacterial species, including isolates found as contaminants in oats, herein genetically identified as Bacillus cereus. No inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes was found under the conditions used. Antibacterial activity was retrieved aft

Moisture sorption in self-levelling flooring compounds was investigated by using a sorption balance. Results are presented as sorption isotherms. Influence of temperature, age, water to binder ratio and carbonation are also presented. An increased temperature and increased water to binder ratio gives lower moisture sorption. Results from scanning curves indicate that, when changing sorption mode,

INTRODUCTION: Fast-track (FT) surgery can be defined as a coordinated perioperative approach aimed at reducing surgical stress and facilitating postoperative recovery. The objective of this review was to examine the literature on the procedure-specific application of FT surgery. DISCUSSION: The concept of FT rehabilitation has been applied mainly in colorectal surgery, but positive data have a

OBJECTIVE: We have compared the effectiveness, time required for de-airing, and safety of a newly developed de-airing technique for open left heart surgery (Lund technique) with a standardized carbon dioxide insufflation technique. METHODS: Twenty patients undergoing elective open aortic valve surgery were randomized prospectively to the Lund technique (Lund group, n = 10) or the carbon dioxide in
