Nursing and multidisciplinary interventions for Parkinson's disease: what is the evidence?

This paper reports the interim results of an ongoing systematic review of the available evidence for the effectiveness of nursing care for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Five clinical and four health-economic evaluations suggest that the clinical and cost effectiveness of nursing care for PD remain inconclusive. This is in contrast to clinical experience and may be due to issues related to

Xyloside-primed chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate from breast carcinoma cells with a defined disaccharide composition has cytotoxic effects in vitro

We have previously reported that the xyloside 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl) β-D-xylopyranoside (XylNapOH), in contrast to 2-naphthyl β-D-xylopyranoside (XylNap), specifically reduces tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Although there are indications that this could be mediated by the xyloside-primed glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and that these differ in composition depending on xyloside and cell type, det

A new tomographic technique for absolute measurements of white and gray matter blood flow

The integrity of the white matter is as important as that of the gray matter and white matter pathology has commonly been reported in elderly subjects and in patients with organic dementia. The aim of the present study is to develop and evaluate an improved method for reliable tomographic measurements of absolute white and gray matter blood flow. The new tomographic method (modified Xe-SPECT) is b

Posterior cingulate cortex in familiar Alzheimer’s disease: A clinicopathological and brain imaging study

The degenerative process in Alzheimer´s disease (AD) follows a temporal and topographic pattern of early and accentuated involvement of temporal limbic, parietal and posterior cingulate cortices. We have studied a pedigree with four generations suffering from early onset AD linked to a presenilin-1 gene mutation. This family now contains 7 AD cases, neuropathologically confirmed in four cases of t

Svenska Bibelsällskapets provöversättning i ett internationellt perspektiv

This article examines the Swedish test translation of Luke9:51–19:28 and Galatians, which was published by the Swedish Bible Society in2015. It analyzes how and to what extent the translators apply the fundamentaltranslation principle (moderate formal equivalence) and the six translationdirectives (on concordance, figures of speech, rhythm, modern language,gender-inclusive language, and faithfulne

Könsinkluderande språk i nästa svenska bibelöversättning

Gender-inclusive language has been consciously applied in almost all significant English Bible translations over the last thirty years. It has only recently been introduced into Swedish Bible translation practices, however, with the test translation of Luke 9:51–19:28 and Galatians issued by the Swedish Bible Society. This fact signals that the next Swedish Bible translation will implement genderi

Dual Conventions : The Oral Delivery of New Testament Writings in Light of First-Century Delivery Practices

Nässelqvist’s contribution examines different models for understanding the oral delivery of New Testament writings. He finds evidence in favor of the existence in antiquity of both oral performance from memory and public reading directly from a manuscript. These types of oral delivery not only involved different delivery practices, but were also used in dissimilar settings for distinct text genres

Improved measurement precision in decay time‑based phosphor thermometry

This study comprises a continuation of the previous efforts of the authors to characterize different sources of errors in phosphor thermometry based on the determination of luminescence decays from thermographic phosphors. Whereas earlier investigations focused on point detectors utilizing different sensor technology, this work presents a comparison of four PMTs that are identical in terms of thei

T-matrix computations of light scattering by red blood cells

The electromagnetic far field, as well as the near field, originating from light interaction with a red blood cell ~RBC! volume-equivalent spheroid, was analyzed by utilizing the T-matrix theory. This method is a powerful tool that makes it possible to study the influence of cell shape on the angular distribution ofscattered light. General observations were that the three-dimensional shape, as wel

Analysis of the competition between forbidden and hyperfine-induced transitions in Ne-like ions

In this work we investigate the decay of the |2p53sP03) state in neon-like ions along the isoelectronic sequence ranging from Z=10 to Z=35. In the absence of a nuclear spin, the magnetic dipole transition to |2p53sP13) is the dominating decay channel. However, for isotopes with a nuclear spin, the interaction between the nuclear magnetic dipole moment and the electronic field introduces a mixing o
