Clinical experience indicates that physical diseases are probably underdiagnosed in patients suffering from dementia. We investigated the prevalence of physical diseases in patients with different types of dementia by means of a retrospective patient record survey including 236 inpatients and outpatients referred for dementia evaluation to the Dementia Investigation Unit, University Hospital in Li
The effects of fabric parameters on paper sheet solids content during vacuum dewatering of low grammage sheets was studied by lab. equipment for 10 different forming fabrics. Caliper, void vol., and air permeability that control the capacity of the fabric to enclose water within the fabric were shown to have a great impact on the dewatering of the sheet. Rewetting from fabric to sheet seemed to be
An assessment of the impacts of changes in climate and UV-B radiation on Arctic terrestrial ecosystems, made within the Arctic Climate Impacts Assessment (ACIA), highlighted the profound implications of projected warming in particular for future ecosystem services, biodiversity and feedbacks to climate. However, although our current understanding of ecological processes and changes driven by clima
Objective. To analyse rheurnatological manifestations, organ damage and autoimmune responses in a large cohort of patients (n = 45) with homozygous C2 deficiency (C2D) and long-term follow-up. Methods. Medical records were reviewed and were supplemented with a mailed questionnaire for assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Organ damage was evaluated using the Systemic Lupus Inter
Objectives To study changes in attitudes, knowledge and management strategies concerning hormone replacement therapy (HRT) among gynaecologists in Sweden. Design Comparative questionnaire study. Setting National survey. Population Practising gynaecologists. Methods In 1996, gynaecologists in Sweden (n = 1323) were invited to return a postal questionnaire concerning their attitudes, knowledge and m

Objective. The popliteal artery is, after the aorta, the most common site for aneurysm formation. Why the popliteal artery is more susceptible than other peripheral muscular arteries is unknown. An important factor may be differences in arterial wall composition as compared with other peripheral muscular arteries, which in turn affect wall properties. These are however unknown. We studied the mech
Popular Abstract in Swedish Abstract: Denna avhandling utvärderar CoreTherm systemet och dess metod för mikrovågsbehandling (TUMT), ProstaLund Feedback Treatment (PLFT), vid symtomgivande ålderförstorad prostata (BPH). Avhandlingen belyser biofysik, verkningsmekanismer, behandlingsindikationer, tilläggsmetoder, effektivitet och säkerhet vid PLFT. Två biofysiska ekvationer kan appliceras i en beräkAbstract: The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate ProstaLund Feedback Treatment® (PLFT®) and the CoreTherm® device with regard to biophysics, mechanisms of action, treatment indications, additional techniques, efficacy and safety in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The application of two biophysical equations in the PLFT software is explained. The calculations
SoPIP2;1 is one of the major integral proteins in spinach leaf plasma membranes. In the Xenopus oocyte expression system its water channel activity is regulated by phosphorylation at the C terminus and in the first cytosolic loop. To assess its structure, SoPIP2;1 was heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris as a His-tagged protein and in the non-tagged form. Both forms were reconstituted into
Energy correlations between gamma -ray transitions and the prompt proton decay line in Cu-58 were studied by means of the fusion-evaporation reaction Ca-40(Mg-24,1 alpha 1p1n) using the EUROBALL spectrometer coupled to ancillary detector devices. A lifetime of 0.06 < tau < 0.58 ps for the 8915 keV proton-decaying state in Cu-58 is deduced. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
A consecutive series of patients with all types of cervical hip fracture (both undisplaced and displaced) were randomised to osteosynthesis with Hansson hook-pins (n = 98) or AO-screws (n = 101). Background parameters, fracture type and reduction of the fracture did not differ significantly between the groups. Fifty-seven percent of the patients were operated on within 6 h of admission to hospital
In recent years, small bogs at Hassleberga in southwestern Scania have been turned into crayfish ponds after the removal of the organic sediments. Bones and antlers were noticed in the excavated material and have been systematically collected. The finds include reindeer of both sexes and of different ages. Bones of wild horse, elk, arctic hare and arctic fox were also identified. Radiometric datin
Har litteraturen makt att påverka människan och samhällsutvecklingen? Är det verkligen så att litteraturen har hjälpt till att avskaffa slaveriet i Amerikas sydstater eller att ge svenskarna religiös mötesfrihet? Kan den ha skadat äktenskapet som institution eller gett avgörande synpunkter inom barnuppfostran? Har den inspirerat FN i miljöfrågor, gett svenskarna dräpande argument i kärnkraftsdebat
Reaction of [Rh6(CO)15(NCMe)] with p-thiocresol [(4-Me)C6H4SH] leads to the formation of [Rh2(CO)4(μ-SC6H4CH3)2] as the main product along with a small amount of [Rh6(CO)16]. An approximately 30-fold excess of the thiol is required in order to obtain a good yield of the thiolate-bridged dimer while reaction of [Rh4(CO)12] with an excess of p-thiocresol leads to an apparently clean conversion to th
OBJECTIVES: Antibodies against herpes simplex viruses-1 and -2, cytomegalovirus, and syphilis were determined in six heterosexual couples with strong indications of having sexually transmitted hepatitis C virus infection and in 17 other heterosexual couples in which one partner was hepatitis C virus viremic (source partner), but the other had remained hepatitis C virus uninfected (exposed partner)
