Bone mass and anthropometry in patients with osteoarthritis of the foot and ankle.
Patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) have high bone mineral density (BMD) and high BMI. If the same accounts for patients with foot or ankle OA is unknown.
Is Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Effective for Men With Poststroke Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms? A Single-Blinded Randomized, Controlled Trial.
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training in men with poststroke lower urinary tract symptoms. Thirty-one poststroke men, median age 68 years, were included in this single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Thirty participants, 15 in each group, completed the study. The intervention consisted of 3 months (12 weekly sessions) of pelvic floor muscle tr
Acute pancreatitis - from cellular signalling to complicated clinical course.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease that has a mild to moderate course in most cases. During the last decade, a change in diagnostic facilities as well as improved intensive care have influenced both morbidity and mortality in AP. Still, however, a number of controversies and unresolved questions remain regarding AP. These include prognostic factors and how these may be used to improve out
Primary healthcare nurses' experiences of physical activity referrals: an interview study.
Aim The aim of this study is to illuminate primary health care (PHC) nurses' experiences of physical activity referrals (PARs).
Raman-shifted laser sources suitable for differential-absorption lidar measurements of ozone in the troposphere
Measurements have been performed at eight laboratories on Raman-shifted radiation from frequency-quadrupled Nd:YAG and KrF lasers. Each of these sources is a possible candidate for making differential-absorption lidar measurements of ozone in the free troposphere. The spectral purity, efficiency and divergence of the different sources are compared and explained using a simplified model of the Rama
Structural determinants in the platelet-derived growth factor alpha-receptor implicated in modulation of chemotaxis
Activation of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor leads to cell growth and chemotaxis. The PDGF alpha-receptor also mediates a mitogenic signal, but fails to induce cell migration in certain cell types. To examine this difference in signal transduction, a series of point-mutated PDGF alpha-receptors were analyzed. Porcine aortic endothelial cells expressing mutant PDGF alpha-re

The Cost of Treating Recurrent Clostridium Difficile Infection In Patients Attending Infectious Disease Clinics At Four Hospitals In Sweden.
Hadronic collisions in the linked dipole chain model
We apply the Linked Dipole Chain model to hadronic collisions using a modified version of the LDCMC Monte Carlo program. In particular we investigate the effects of multiple scatterings, which in this framework are reformulated in terms of the production of multiple chains of dipoles. We find, among other things, that this way of describing multiple scatterings is less sensitive to the treatment o
Directional stability of an originally straight crack
The directional stability of an originally straight crack under symmetric remote loading is studied after introduction of an infinitesimal disturbance at one or both tips of the crack. The crack is assumed to grow slowly under vanishing mode II stress intensity factor. Directional stability is defined to prevail if the angle formed by the straight line between the crack tips and the original crack
Occupational Risk Factors for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: a Nationwide Study Based on Hospitalizations in Sweden.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate possible associations between occupation and hospitalization for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a nationwide study. METHODS: A nationwide database was constructed in Sweden by linking the Swedish Census to the Hospital Discharge Register to obtain data on all first hospitalizations with a primary or secondary diagnosis of SLE in adults during the study period (19
Verapamil Inhibits L-type Calcium Channel Mediated Apoptosis in Human Colon Cancer Cells.
PURPOSE: Treatment with calcium channel blockers have been associated with increased colon cancer mortality in epidemiologic studies. We examined the potential expression and function of calcium channels in two human colon cancer cell lines. METHODS: Both primary (collected at operation) and commercially-available human colon cancer cell lines were used. The colon cancer cells were incubated with
Cardiac arrest with vagal stimulation during intraoperative nerve monitoring.
Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is widely used during thyroid surgery. During both intermittent and continuous IONM stimulation of the vagus nerve is performed. This has previously been reported to be safe.
Prostacyclin Infusion May Prevent Secondary Damage in Pericontusional Brain Tissue.
BACKGROUND: Prostacyclin is a potent vasodilator, inhibitor of leukocyte adhesion, and platelet aggregation, and has been suggested as therapy for cerebral ischemia. A case of focal traumatic brain lesion that was monitored using intracerebral microdialysis, and bedside analysis and display is reported here. When biochemical signs of cerebral ischemia progressed, i.v. infusion of prostacyclin was
Indications for hip and knee replacement in Sweden.
Objectives The aim of this paper was to compare selected indication parameters for patients scheduled for hip and knee replacement at orthopaedic units in Sweden. Methods Swedish orthopaedic clinics performing joint replacement were invited to enrol in the study. The study time was set to 2 years (from June 2006 to June 2008). The study subjects were patients undergoing hip or knee replacement for
An MRI scale for assessment of haemophilic arthropathy from the International Prophylaxis Study Group.
Evaluation of prophylactic treatment of haemophilia requires sensitive methods. To design and test a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scale for haemophilic arthropathy, two scales of a combined MRI scoring scheme were merged into a single scale which includes soft tissue and osteochondral subscores. Sixty-one joint MRI's of 46 patients with haemophilia were evaluated by four radiologists using
