Background: Global ischemic stroke is one of the most prominent consequences of cardiac arrest, since the diminished blood flow to the brain results in cell damage and sometimes permanently impaired neurological function. The post-arrest period is often characterised by cerebral hypoperfusion due to subacute hemodynamic disturbances, the pathophysiology of which are poorly understood. In two other
Objectives To evaluate the first experience of real-time instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) measurement by clinicians. Background The iFR is a new vasodilator-free index of coronary stenosis severity, calculated as a trans-lesion pressure ratio during a specific period of baseline diastole, when distal resistance is lowest and stable. Because all previous studies have calculated iFR offline, the
PURPOSEWe report on a multicenter phase II trial of (90)yttrium-ibritumomab-tiuxetan ((90)YIT) as first-line stand-alone therapy for patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). PATIENTS AND METHODSFifty-nine patients with CD20(+) FL grade 1 to 3a in stages II, III, or IV, age 50 years old or older requiring therapy were enrolled. They received (90)YIT according to standard procedure. If complete respo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Man har tidigare sett att patienter med akut myeloisk leukemi (AML) har förhöjda nivåer av det cellcykelreglerande proteinet cyklin A1 och överuttryck av cyklin A1 i de myeloiska cellerna hos transgena möss resulterade i att mössen utvecklade AML. Syftet med avhandlingen var att ytterligare studera uttrycket och regleringen av cyklin A1 i hematopoetiska celler. Vi börja
OBJECTIVE: Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) plays a critical role in osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis from osteoprogenitor cells. The balance between osteogenic and adipogenic effects is influenced by BMP2 concentration, transcription factors and age. BMP2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may contribute to osteoporosis risk, but the relationship between adiposity and body composition h
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den forskning som presenteras här bygger på studier av ett antal beståndsdelar i bindväv vars funktioner är i stort sett helt okända. Bindväv finns i många strukturer i människokroppen; brosk, senor, skelett, blodkärlens väggar, hud, stödjevävnad runt olika organ etc. Karakteristiskt för bindväv är att cellerna sitter glest, omgivna av ett heterogent material som kallas
Popular Abstract in Swedish Prosodi definieras som talets rytmiska, dynamiska och melodiska egenskaper (Bruce, 1998). Till de prosodiska dragen hör längd (kvantitet), betoning (tryck- och ordaccent), ton, satsmelodi (intonation) och gränser (tomrum i talvågen). Dessa drag används i kommunikativt syfte för att särskilja betydelser hos ord och orddelar, för att framhäva och gruppera delar av talet oThe aim of this thesis was to explore prosodic problems in Swedish children with language impairment (LI). In the first study, 29 children with LI participated. They were assessed with an assessment procedure for prosody at the word, phrase and discourse levels, developed within this thesis. The results showed that 41% of the children had prosodic problems to some extent. In addition, reliability
