Context: Testis development is a tightly regulated process that requires an efficient and coordinated spatiotemporal action of many factors, and it has been shown that several genes involved in gonadal development exert a dosage effect. Chromosomal imbalances have been reported in several patients presenting with gonadal dysgenesis as part of severe dysmorphic phenotypes. Results: We screened for

A synthetic polymer selective for (S)-naproxen was prepared by molecular imprinting. 4-Vinylpyridine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were copolymerised in the presence of the template, (S)-naproxen. The template was extracted from the polymer, leaving specific recognition sites, complementary to the template. The polymer was utilized as a stationary phase in HPLC. Racemic naproxen was efficient

In this paper we investigate the structure and motion problem for calibrated one-dimensional projections of a two-dimensional environment. The theory of one-dimensional cameras are useful in several areas, e.g. within robotics, autonomous guided vehicles, projection of lines in ordinary vision and vision of vehicles undergoing so called planar motion. In a previous paper the structure and motion p

Mutual coupling effects between antenna elements on signal correlation are reported. A simple expression is derived to compute the correlation coefficient from the far-field radiation patterns including the characteristics of the propagation environment and the terminating impedance. It is shown that the mutual coupling between closely spatially separated dipoles call lead to increased signal deco

Aims: This study examined whether middle-aged men exhibiting markers of early ageing showed a different pattern of social factors, lifestyle, and biological variables compared with controls, and whether early ageing was associated with an increased mortality risk. Subjects and methods: We used a subgroup of 5,722 middle-aged men (mean age 47 years), investigated twice, from the Malmö Preventive Pr

We investigated whether dorsal hindbrain and/or peripheral cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript peptide (CARTp) acts to suppress gastric emptying of a caloric stimulus. Furthermore, effects of dorsal hindbrain CARTp on sucrose consumption and licking microstructure was studied, as well as the possible contribution of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptors to mediate effects of CAR

We prove a general atomic decomposition theorem for weighted vector-valued Bergman spaces, which applies to duality problems and to the study of compact Toeplitz type operators.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodet innehåller några av de mest grundläggande komponenterna för mänskligt liv. Med hjälp av hjärtats pumpkraft transporterar röda blodkroppar ut syre från lungorna till de mest avlägsna delarna av kroppen via gradvis tunnare blodkärl. Livshotande blödningar stoppas via blodplättarnas koagulerande förmåga och läkande egenskaper, medan de vita blodkropparna bekämpar inHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined by their capacity to self-renew and differentiate into all hematopoietic cell lineages. Postnatally, HSCs reside predominantly in the bone marrow and are relatively rare, but important cells because of their therapeutic potential in bone marrow transplantation protocols and in their involvement in the origin of certain leukemias. To study how various gen

Abstract in UndeterminedThe primary aim of the present study is to reveal the creative awakening of Michalis Ganas, Maria Kirtzaki, Tzeni Mastoraki and Kostas Papageorgiou, four poets of the Greek 1970s Generation. All four poets were born during the decade of the 1940s. The thesis approaches the poets entire authorship from their debut, end of 1960s beginning of 1970s, until the present day, to d

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which titanium aneurysm clips could improve the quality of MR imaging compared with stainless steel clips, and to determine whether the clip artifacts could be reduced by controlling certain MR imaging parameters in frequently used pulse sequences. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The metal artifacts induced by 3 aneurysm clips were compared in 3 p

Fluoxetine (FLX), a P-glycoprotein inhibitor with antimalarial activity, is promising candidate for reversing chloroquine/mefloquine (CQ/MQ) resistance. The Dd2 strain of CQ- and MQ-resistant Plasmodium falciparum was synchronized and assayed with various concentrations of CQ/MQ individually and in combination with FLX or verapamil (VPL). Our results indicated the 50% inhibitory concentration valu
