One hundred twenty-eight patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome were evaluated before surgery and 3 and 6 months after unilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel release. The variables analyzed included patient demographics, symptoms and signs, activities of daily living (ADL), sensibility and strength measurements, preoperative distal motor latency of the median nerve, operating surgeon, postop
The cytokine transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFbeta1), was transfected into a TGFbeta1-negative rat colon carcinoma. The growth of isografts of TGFbeta1-expressing tumors was compared to that of vector control transfectants. The TGFbeta1 transfectant grew significantly more slowly after intrahepatic isografting than did vector control and wild-type tumors. The TGFbeta1-transfected tumor tissue
It is the overall aim of this article to investigate theoretically how spatial embeddedness of learning and knowledge creation might be challenged by alternative organisational forms (i.e. temporary organisations). The article presents development coalitions as an alternative to projects as a form of temporary organisation. They are potentially able to combine the promotion of radical change with
PURPOSE: CT and MR imaging are appropriate modalities for imaging of the liver. Contrast media are used to obtain a greater difference in attenuation and signal intensity, respectively, between normal liver tissue and focal lesions. However, no studies have attempted to determine whether physiological nutritional status of the liver during fasting is of importance for the native signal of normal l
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women in the Western world with about 10% of women developing breast cancer during their lifetime, of which one third will eventually succumb to the metastatic form of the disease. Breast cancer arises from the epithelial cells of the breast mammary gland, but the mechanisms involved in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis are still not fully

Primär psykogen yrsel, i form av ångestsyndrom, och sekundär ”otogen ångest”, efter en period med vestibulär sjukdom, är bland de vanligaste orsakerna till långdragna yrselbesvär hos patienter i arbetsför ålder. Utan behandling kan besvären bli kroniska och leda till till långvarigt lidande. Ju tidigare sjukdomen upptäcks, desto bättre blir effekten av behandling.
Ribosome recycling factor (RRF) together with elongation factor G (EF-G) disassembles the post- termination ribosomal complex. Inhibitors of translocation, thiostrepton, viomycin and aminoglycosides, inhibited the release of tRNA and mRNA from the post-termination complex. In contrast, fusidic acid and a GTP analog that fix EF-G to the ribosome, allowing one round of tRNA translocation, inhibited
We have used suramin and brefeldin A to investigate the nature of a heparan sulphate proteoglycan that appears to recycle from the cell surface to intracellular compartments which synthesize new heparan sulphate chains. Suramin, which would block internalization and deglycanation of a putative recycling cell surface proteoglycan, markedly increases the yield of a membrane-bound proteoglycan with a
Oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) in cell cultures is generally studied in a medium, such as artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with an ion composition similar to that of the extracellular fluid of the normal brain (2 to 4 mmol/L K+, 2 to 3 mmol/L Ca2+; pH 7.4). Because the distribution of ions across cell membranes dramatically shifts during ischemia, the authors exposed mouse organotypic h
Objective: To investigate the effects of cold storage and vinegar addition on glycaemic and insulinaemic responses to a potato meal in healthy subjects. Subjects and setting: A total of 13 healthy subjects volunteered for the study, and the tests were performed at Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry, Lund University, Sweden. Experimental design and test meals: The study included four meals; fresh
Two novel antifungal agents belonging to the sordarin family have been isolated from fermentations of Sordaria araneosa by bioassay-guided purification and their structures elucidated by NMR techniques. Neosordarin (1) is closely related to the recently discovered hypoxysordarin (2), with only small differences on the aliphatic side chain acylating the hydroxyl in the 3'-position of the sordarose
The pancreatic islets are richly innervated by autonomic nerves. The islet parasympathetic nerves emanate from intrapancreatic ganglia, which are controlled by preganglionic vagal nerves. The islet sympathetic nerves are postganglionic with the nerve cell bodies located in ganglia outside the pancreas. The sensory nerves originate from dorsal root ganglia near the spinal cord. Inside the islets, n
The reaction mechanism of propane ammoxidation was studied on an Al-Sb-V-W-oxide catalyst using a TAP-2 reactor system. Analyses of the responses from both high-speed pulse transients with reactants and TPD experiments were performed. Since the ammoxidation process with three reactants proceeds from propane to acrylonitrile over propylene as an intermediate, the experiments comprised oxidation of
