Low level of education is associated with later stage at diagnosis and reduced survival in cutaneous malignant melanoma: A nationwide population-based study in Sweden

Chromosome banding analysis of cells from fine-needle aspiration biopsy samples from soft tissue and bone tumors: is it clinically meaningful?

Morphologic evaluation of samples from fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle (CN) biopsies is an important part of the pretreatment diagnosis of bone and soft tissue tumors. Because most such tumors have characteristic, sometimes even specific, chromosomal rearrangements, ancillary genetic analyses could provide important diagnostic information. Whereas directed analyses, such as fluorescen

Evidence for tissue factor phosphorylation and its correlation with protease activated receptor expression and the prognosis of primary breast cancer.

Quantitative numerical analysis of flow past a circular cylinder at Reynolds number between 50 and 200

Results of numerical simulations are presented for flow past a stationary circular cylinder at low Reynolds numbers (Re=50-200). The simulations were carried out using a finite-volume code employing a fractional step method with second-order accuracy in both space and time. A sensitivity study on numerical parameters concerning the domain size, grid independence and time step resolution was carrie

ZnT8 autoantibody epitope specificity and affinity examined with recombinant ZnT8 variant proteins in specific ZnT8R and ZnT8W autoantibody positive type 1 diabetes patients.

Development of a real-time SYBRGreen PCR assay for rapid detection of acquired AmpC in Enterobacteriaceae

Introduction: Acquired AmpC enzymes, classified as miscellaneous extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLM) enzymes according to a recently proposed beta-lactamase classification, are increasing according to several publications. Simple and rapid methods for detection of ESBLM are needed for appropriate infection control. A gel-based multiplex PCR method for acquired bla(AmpC) detection and subtype

Predialysis patient education : Effects on functioning and well-being in uraemic patients

This study evaluated the effects of a predialysis patient education programme on functioning and well-being in 28 uraemic patients. The programme consisted of four group sessions with the following themes: renal disease and dietary restriction, active renal replacement therapy, physical exercise, and the impact of chronic renal failure on economy, family and social life. Three to 9 months after ha

Discovery of a novel insect neuropeptide signaling system closely related to the insect adipokinetic hormone and corazonin hormonal systems

Neuropeptides and their G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a central role in the physiology of insects. One large family of insect neuropeptides are the adipokinetic hormones (AKHs), which mobilize lipids and carbohydrates from the insect fat body. Other peptides are the corazonins that are structurally related to the AKHs but represent a different neuropeptide signaling system. We have prev
