From 1975, when the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) started, until the end of 1997, 57,533 primary arthroplasties and revisions have been registered. Recently, the register underwent a comprehensive validation and update regarding revisions. We now report on general demographic and epidemiological data for the whole period and on the survivorship of arthroplasties performed in Sweden dur

We consider the classical water wave problem described by the Euler equations with a free surface under the influence of gravity over a flat bottom. We construct two-dimensional inviscid periodic traveling waves with vorticity. They are symmetric waves whose profiles are monotone between each crest and trough. We use bifurcation and degree theory to construct a global connected set of such solutio
Strain Comamonas testosteroni TI, capable of degrading the nonionic surfactant (NIS) nonylphenolethoxylate (OP-10), was used for constructing a pilot cellular biosensor. The lower NIS detection limit for the biosensor was 0.25 mg/l. We studied the substrate specificity of the biosensor with respect to a wide range of organic compounds: surfactants, polyaromatic compounds (PAC), carbohydrates, alco
Chapter 2 analyses the relationship between capital structure and industry classification of Swedish firms. This study also analyses the determinants of the capital structure at the industry level. Since the assumption required for a parametric analysis of variances are not satisfied, a nonparametric method is applied to test for cross-industry differences in capital structure. The results show th
Colorectal adenomas occur at younger age, at increased frequency and have a greater tendency for malignant transformation in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). We performed immunostaining for the mismatch repair proteins MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6 in 35 colorectal adenomas from 26 patients with HNPCC and identified loss of immunostaining in 23/35 (0.66) adenomas. Loss
The original material of Hieracium stenolepis Lindeb. is analyzed and a lectotype (GB) is designated.
Save a Wolf – Shoot a Sami: Equality without History and the Hate Speech Against the Sami People in Sweden: During the last years there has been a considerable increase in hate speech against the Sami people in Sweden. This article explores the nature of this hate speech, why it has occurred and its structural basis. In order to overcome a relationship based on hate and disputes over the rights of
The role of the transition metal 3d states in the adsorption of h-BN on Cu(111) and Ni(111) has been studied by NEXAFS and PE spectroscopies and by work function measurements. Based on the analysis of drastic differences in the spectra from h-BN/Cu(111) and h-BN/Ni(111), it has been concluded that the strength of chemical bonding at the interfaces under study is determined mainly by the strength o
Taphofloras of the Koryak Upland and the Sagwon Locality of North Alaska are described in terms of their taxonomic composition, stratigraphic ranges, and comparison with coeval floras of Northeastern Russia and Alaska. Causes and amplitude of changes in Arctic floras across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary are considered. In its aspect and taxonomic composition, the Late Maastrichtian flora of th
OBJECTIVES: To examine pioglitazone as add-on to metformin and insulin secretagogues in patients with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycaemic control and its effect on glycaemic control, surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity (adiponectin) and beta-cell function (proinsulin/insulin) and fluid retention.DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective open-label study of 54 patients with type 2 diabetes and HbA
Previously [The abstract has been shortened somewhat, and the headings removed, in order to conform to journal style], we have observed vestibular asymmetry in about one-third of healthy senior citizens and in about two-thirds of subjects with previous hip fractures and no other significant ailments. Wrist fractures are considered a harbinger of hip fractures. If vestibular asymmetry is correlated
Due to our own preference for bright light, we tend to forget that many insects are active in very dim light. Nocturnal insects possess in general superposition compound eyes. This eye design is truly optimized for dim light as photons can be gathered through large apertures comprised of hundreds of lenses. In apposition eyes, on the other hand, the aperture consists of a single lens resulting in
Background and Purpose— Although stroke is strongly associated with hypertension, some individuals with normal blood pressure (BP) experience a stroke. This prospective study explored risk factors for stroke in subjects with normal BP. Methods— A total of 11 228 men and 17 174 women, 45 to 73 years old, were examined in a population-based cohort study. Normal BP was defined as BP <140/90 mm Hg an
