Popular Abstract in Swedish Legg-Calvé-Perthes´ disease Synovitis, cartilage, remodeling Sammanfattning på svenska av akademisk avhandling av Göran Eckerwall Legg-Calvé-Perthes´ sjukdom (LCPD) är en ovanlig höftsjukdom som drabbar barn i åldrarna 2-12 år. Vanligaste åldern för insjuknande är 5-7 år. 4/5 av de som insjuknar är pojkar. Orsaken till LCPD är en cirkulations-störning i höftens sfärisThis thesis evaluates and correlates the findings in a series of children with Legg-Calvé-Perthes´ Disease at the Departments of Orthopedics, University Hospitals in Lund, Sweden and Odense, Denmark during 1984-1993. It focuses on the importance of synovitis and its effect on the cartilage, on the shape of the femoral head in the early phases of LCPD and on femoral head remodeling after proximal f

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mesenteriell ischemi (nedsatt blodcirkulation till tarm och övriga bukorgan) är vanligt förekommande vid ett flertal olika sjukdomstillstånd som t ex blödnings-, septisk och cirkulatorisk chock. Inte minst är tarmen mycket känslig för nedsättning av blodflödet. Tarmskadan, inkluderande dess barriär(skydds-)funktion sker dels under perioden med nedsatt blodförsörjning meIntestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is not infrequent in the clinical situation and the intestinal barrier plays an important role in gut barrier function, preventing not at least septic complications and potentially the development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Mechanisms of intestinal I/R induced gut epithelial and endothelial barrier dysfunction and remote organ dysfunction

Biografiskt dubbelporträtt av den danska skaldinnan Lyche Sophia Friis (c:a 1699-1747) och hennes make, sedermera professorn i teologi, Gustaf Ernst von Bildstein (1703-1769).

In the present study, the heat transfer characteristics on the suction and pressure sides of an outlet guide vane (OGV) are investigated by using liquid crystal thermography (LCT) method in a linear cascade. Because the OGV has a complex curved surface, it is necessary to calibrate the LCT by taking into account the effect of viewing angles of the camera. Based on the calibration results, heat tra

Using protons in the MeV region as excitation source and a high resolution Si(Li)-detector, X-ray analysis is capable of detecting many elements at the 10−12 g level simultaneously.

By examining the reception of Edme Boursault’s first fable comedy, Ésope (1690), the paper discusses the historical prerequisites of an interlacing of fable and comedy. The several 18th century translations of Boursault’s drama often have been taken as a pretext for the success of his genre experiment. The fusion of fable and comedy was, however, not in all respects in line with literary horizons

Nature produces biologically active and chemically intriguing secondary metabolites. To isolate and characterize compounds of novel activity and structure, bioassay-guided fractionations were applied to several plants as well as to a basidiomycete. Our studies resulted in the purification and characterization of a diverse range of compounds displaying activity in a variety of biological assays. Ne

Popular Abstract in Swedish Funktionen hos hemoglobin från ryggradslösa organismer är mer varierande än motsvarande för ryggradsdjur, vilket möjligen speglar de mer mångfasetterade behoven inom den förra gruppen. Hemoglobin har strukturella likheter med andra hemproteiner/enzymer och uppvisar även överlappande enzymaktiviteter, med funktioner utöver transport och lagring av syre. Under syrefattigThe function of non-vertebrate haemoglobins (Hbs) appears more diverse than that of vertebrate Hbs, possibly reflecting the various demands to be met among their hosts. Sharing structural features with other haem proteins/enzymes, Hbs display a qualitative overlap in activities with functions extending beyond oxygen transport/storage. When subjected to oxygen deficient conditions, the obligate ae

Technology transfer is important to understand how knowledge is transformed to economic value. Applying a case study approach, this thesis investigates the technology transfer efforts from the University of Dar Es Salaam to indigenous informal SMEs in Tanzania and examines the impact of one of their technology transfer mechanisms on the specific technological capabilities that were acquired at the
