Objective: To study health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in arthritis rehabilitation performed by multidisciplinary teams in patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis. Predictors of change in health-related quality of life and the proportion of patients with clinical improvement were investigated. Design: Multicentre prospective observational study in 4 European countries. Methods: HRQoL was

Abstract Background. The impact of cancer on spouses of cancer patients may be considerable in many aspects. Our objective was to evaluate sick leave in spouses of cancer patients before and after the diagnosis. Material and methods. Using Swedish population-based registries, we studied sick leave of spouses to patients with newly diagnosed colon, rectal, lung, prostate, or breast cancer. We ident

Extracellular matrix, either produced by cancer cells or by cancer-associated fibroblasts, influences angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. Chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) proteoglycans, which occur both in the matrix and at the cell surface, play important roles in these processes. The unique feature that distinguishes DS from CS is the presence of iduronic acid (IdoA) in DS. Here, we repor

Acute thromboembolic occlusion in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a condition with high mortality and morbidity. Multi-detector computerised tomography with intravenous contrast enhancement (MDCTiv) may improve diagnostic accuracy and survival. Patients with acute SMA occlusion were identified between 2004 and 2008 at Malmö University Hospital, Sweden. Medical records were analysed. Each M

Popular Abstract in English Does subjectivism in value theory — the view that value is grounded on attitudes — imply that when we think and talk about what is good and bad we must necessarily be thinking and talking about our desires and other attitudes? Does value subjectivism entail that evaluative utterances are reports or expressions of the speaker’s attitude? Are subjectivists committed to anThe thesis examines a specific way of understanding the subjectivist position in value theory according to which subjectivism is the view that value is grounded on attitudes. It is argued that this should be seen as a second-order claim about the nature of value although with pluralistic implications on the substantial, first-order level. Subjectivist analyses of final and intrinsic value and of r

Introduction: The objective of this study was to describe the longitudinal cognitive outcome in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and analyze factors that affect the outcome, including the impact of different cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI). Methods: In an open, three-year, nonrandomized, prospective, multicenter study, 843 patients were treated with donepezil, rivastigmine, or galantamine in a routine cl

Introduction There is a great need for quick tests that identify treatment response in Alzheimer's disease (AD) to determine who benefits from the treatment. In this study, A Quick Test of cognitive speed (AQT) was compared with the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) in the evaluation of treatment outcome in AD. Methods 75 patients with mild to moderate AD at a memory clinic were assessed with

In this paper we present a 55 nm gate length In0.53Ga0.47As MOSFET with extrinsic transconductance of 1.9 mS/mu m and on-resistance of 199 Omega mu m. T he self-aligned MOSFET is formed using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition regrowth of highly doped source and drain access regions. The fabricated 140 nm gate length devices shows a low subthreshold swing of 79 mV/decade, which is attributed t

Glypicans are multifunctional cell surface heparan sulphate proteoglycans co-regulating numerous signalling pathways, and are thereby involved in the control of cellular division, differentiation, and morphogenesis. The heparan sulphate (HS) chains are responsible for many of those biological functions; nevertheless recent studies suggest functional roles for the glypican core proteins in mediatin

Background Androgens acting via the androgen receptor (AR) stimulate production of prostate specific antigen (PSA), which is a clinical marker of prostate cancer (PCa). Since genetic variants in the AR may have a significant impact on the risk of being diagnosed with PCa, the aim was to investigate if AR-variants were associated with the risk of having PSA above clinically used cut-off thresholds
