Computerized systems to localize specific patterns appearing in ECG signal, such as the QRS complex and T wave usually utilize predefined templates. Where the signal is not clean, such as during atrial fibrillation (AF), analysis based on self-similarities of the ECG signal appears to be more stable. The authors describe a software package which uses self-similarity techniques to allow the subtrac
Several different strategies are effective for medical treatment of motor problems in Parkinson's disease (PD). Many guidelines and evidence-based reviews are available, but there is no documentation or consensus in favor of just one treatment strategy. This review presents two algorithms that may be helpful when deciding how to treat a PD patient at various stages of the disease. The first algori
Recent studies have shown that UVB irradiation induces primary and secondary hyperalgesia in rats and humans peaking about 24 h after UVB exposure. In the present study we investigated the changes in galanin, substance P and c-fos immunoreactivity in rat DRG and spinal cord at the L5 level 2–96 h after UVB irradiation. UVB irradiation of the heel area in rats almost increased the skin blood flow t
During adult neurogenesis, newly formed olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons migrate radially to integrate into specific layers of the OB Despite the importance of this process, the intracellular mechanisms that regulate radial migration remain poorly understood. Here, we find that microRNA (miRNA) let-7 regulates radial migration by modulating autophagy in new-born neurons. Using Argonaute2 immunopre
Some of the most significant challenges in paleoclimate research arise from the need to both understand and reduce the uncertainty associated with proxies for climate reconstructions. These challenges were further highlighted in connection with the IODP Exp.347 Baltic Sea Paleoenvironment. We have investigated temperature and salinity proxies through a combination of field-and culture-based benthi
In an investigation by the Swedish Cancer Society, the present status, critical issues and future aspects and potentials were described by an expert group for each of nine major areas of radiation therapy research, This report deals with medical imaging for improved medical diagnosis including tumour detection, staging and characterization, treatment planning, guiding and verification, evaluation
L1CAM gene mutations cause neurodevelopmental disorders collectively termed L1 syndrome. Insufficient information about L1CAM variants complicates clinical prognosis, genetic diagnosis and genetic counseling. We combined clinical data, in silico effect predictions and functional analysis of four L1CAM variants, p.I37N, p.D202Y, p.M172I and p.T38M, located to the two N-terminal Ig-like domains pres
Knowledge of the natural emissions of mercury in the Mediterranean basin, which has large cinnabar anomalies, has particular weight as these deposits could be an important source of atmospheric mercury. Data on the degassing rate of mercury from soils sampled both in mineralized areas (Mt. Amiata, Italy and Almaden, Spain) and rural areas are reported. Measurements were carried out 'in situ' using
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether features of radiographic hand osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-defined knee cartilage thickness, radiographic knee OA, and 1-year structural progression. METHODS: A total of 765 participants in Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI; 455 women, mean age 62.5 yrs, SD 9.4) obtained hand radiographs (at baseline), knee radi
AIM: The cholesterol-lowering properties of oats, largely ascribed to its contents of soluble fibers, beta-glucans, are well established, whereas effects on atherogenesis are less well elucidated. Oats also contains components with reported antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that may affect atherogenesis. In this work we examined effects of oat bran on plasma cholesterol, markers of inflamm
Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of treating ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with infliximab (Remicade(R)) in Spain for up to 40 years. Methods: A previously published disease model was adapted to the Spanish setting using resource consumption from a cross-sectional burden of an illness study in 601 patients in Spain. Cost-effectiveness estimates were based on a placebo-controlled clinica
In blood from the portal vein of anaesthetized rats the levels of histamine and putrescine were 2-3-fold lower compared to arterial blood. Putrescine concentration was increased severalfold and the difference between portal and arterial blood abolished in animals pretreated with the specific diamine oxidase inhibitor aminoguanidine. Histamine concentration was 40% lower in portal compared to arter
För att svara på frågan -Hur värderas en flygplats? har vi utvecklat en värderingsmodell för flygplatser som kan användas utifrån olika former av ägandeperspektiv. Faktum är att det är svårt att på ett generellt sätt bestämma hur en företagsvärdering skall utföras. Beroende på intressentens särskilda situation och unika perspektiv präglas företagets värde av en subjektivitet, och det finns härmed
Syftet är att beskriva och analysera redovisning av det intellektuella kapitalet i kunskapsintensiva företag, för att se om det förekommer likheter/skillnader inom och mellan företag. Vår beskrivning sträcker sig över en period på tio år. Vi har använt oss av litteratur som beskriver och förklarar intellektuellt kapital och för detta ämne viktiga begrepp som human-, struktur- och kundkapital. Dett
Samhället befinner sig i ett skede där 80-talisterna med deras värderingar och attityder gör sitt inträde på arbetsmarknaden och där 40-talisterna, redan börjat lämna arbetslivet och går i pension. Uppsatsen redogör för de värderingar och attityder som teorin belyser att 80-talister har, för att sedan urskilja de grundläggande värderingarna som vi anser sammanfattar bilden av generationen.
