Background: Erectile dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common sequelae in men after stroke. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on measured erectile function as an indicator of sexuality in men with LUTS after stroke. Method: A sample of 516 men with stroke was invited to participate in this single-blinded,

Anomaly detection is emerging as a necessary component as wireless networks gain popularity. Anomaly detection has been addressed broadly in wired networks and powerful methods have been developed for correct detection of a variety of known attacks and other anomalies. In this paper, we propose a real-time anomaly detection and identification scheme for wireless mesh networks (WMN) using component

We have studied In-stabilized c(8 2)-reconstructed InAs(1 0 0) and InSb(1 0 0) semiconductor surfaces, which play a key role in growing improved III-V interfaces for electronics devices, by core-level photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. The calculated surface core-level shifts (SCLSs) for the zeta and zeta a models, which have been previously established to describe the a

Det krävs åtgärder på flera nivåer för att minska utsläppsnivåerna från vägtrafiken. I denna uppsats studeras möjligheten att använda förarstöd för att minska den totala bränsleförbrukningen och emissionerna. Detta är gjort med en litteraturstudie som beskriver vad som påverkar bränsleförbrukningen och utsläpp av emissioner generellt, ur ett förarperspektiv samt vid användning av förarstöd med mil

Aims: The objectives of this study are to describe our technique in meningomyelocele (MMC) repair, analyzing the results and complications, as well as to study the effect of delay in operation on the complication rate. Patients and Methods: Between March 1997 and October 2012, 48 patients with MMC were treated at Jordan University Hospital by a combined neurosurgical and plastic surgical team. Pat

This is a study of how two Swedish boys acquired verbs and verb related phenomena during their first 2;6 years of age. The study focus on the emergence of verb lexemes, personal pronouns, functional verbs, clauses of different types and clause subjects. The close relationship between pronouns and functional verbs in the beginning av the clause is studied in detail, and a certain type of more or le

Biallelic CEBPA mutations and FLT3 length mutations are frequently identified in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with normal cytogenetics. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of oncogene cooperation remain unclear due to a lack of disease models. We have generated an AML mouse model using knockin mouse strains to study cooperation of internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation in the

Utilities, such as steam and cooling water, are often shared between production areas at large-scale sites. A disturbance in the supply of a utility is therefore likely to affect a large part of a site, and cause great loss of revenue. This study focuses on identifying disturbances in utilities and estimating the economical effects of such disturbances. A general method for reducing the loss of re

A well-developed spatial memory is important for many animals, but appears especially important for scatter-hoarding species. Consequently, the scatter-hoarding system provides an excellent paradigm in which to study the integrative aspects of memory use within an ecological and evolutionary framework. One of the main tenets of this paradigm is that selection for enhanced spatial memory for cache

Utvecklingen inom det brandskyddstekniska området går snabbt vilket, tillsammans med nya byggföreskrifter, motiverar att denna handbok tas fram. Brandskyddslaget, Bengt Dahlgren Brand & Risk och Brandteknik LTH publicerar sedan några år Brandskyddshandboken som förklarar och förtydligar BBR:s brandskyddsavsnitt. Nu när BBR 21 med stora ändringar tillämpas, har vi tagit fram en ny uppdaterad o

(1) I explore the hypothesis that the water regime is one of the major determinants of the difference between bog and fen in Sphagnum mires because of its effects on the decay loss and the mass accretion rate. This article deals with the recent mass balance and water regime and the variation in mass accretion rate during the last millennium, studied at two mires in southern Sweden. (2) At one bog

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) promotes the degradation of the hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) and is therefore a prominent therapeutic target for reducing LDL-cholesterol. The C-terminal domain of PCSK9 is unlikely to be involved in a direct extracellular interaction with the LDL-R. We probed the importance of the C-terminus for the degradation of the LDL-R

An artificial key to the 122 Caloplaca species presently known for the Australian continent is provided.
