We studied the role of arachidonic acid metabolites, histamine, and 5-HT in airway responses to trimellitic anhydride (TMA) in actively sensitized guinea pigs. Sensitization was produced by two intradermal injections of free TMA (0.1 ml of 0.3% TMA in corn oil). After 21 to 28 days, guinea pigs were anesthetized and challenged with intratracheal instillation of 0.5% TMA conjugated to guinea pig se

Artikeln diskuterar händelser i och omkring Sövde i samband med det "Skånska upproret" 1180-81. I Sövde fanns från 1100-talet och fram till reformationen fanns en befäst huvudgård tillhörande ärkesätet i Lund. Spåren efter denna anläggning kom att undersökas år 1911 av pastor loci Oscar Blomstergren under överinseende av Otto Rydbeck, docent i nordisk konstarkeologi, Lund.

A series of bioassay experiments were performed from spring to autumn in a small dimictic lake (Deep Pond, Massachusetts) to examine the potential for bacterial growth limitation by organic carbon (glucose), inorganic nutrients (ammonium or phosphate), or both. The experiments demonstrated that phosphorus was the primary element limiting bacterial growth in Deep Pond during a large part of the sum

Antibodies to double-stranded (dsDNA) are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and directly involved in human lupus nephritis. Information about their glomerular target antigens is inconsistent, and whether availability of target antigens, antibody specificity or avidity are nephritogenic parameters, is not determined. In this study, we analyzed renal tissue from anti-dsDNA antibody-

By observing and analyzing the influence of the therapist on the family as well as interactions between family members, the encounter with a family in a medical setting can serve to improve the health of its members, by improving their ability to use their own resources. This method of focusing on the interaction between individuals in a family or other systems has been a valuable addition to medi

The article pins down problems of urbanization, poverty, and youth at risk, focusing on the situation of young women in African slums.

Twenty patients who underwent early aneurysm surgery--that is, surgery within 72 hours after rupture--underwent further follow-up examination including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment. Significant statistical correlation between tissue loss as seen on a late MRI scan and neurobehavioral deficits could not be established. Among 9 patie

Narrative is one method of tapping individual and collective memory where human experience is organized into temporally meaningful episodes and where a "point" is often made. In research projects that I have carried out about working life, "body stories" are often spontaneously related in making a "point." These stories exemplify "doing gender"-that is how gendered relations (that revolve around e

Under an artificial light: dark cycle, females of Lampronia capitella were observed calling, with extended terminal abdominal segments, during the first 2 hr of the photoperiod. Extracts of terminal abdominal segments from females elicited large electroantennographic responses from male antennae. Gas chromatography with electroantennographic detection revealed three active peaks. Based on comparis

The orchid Ophrys sphegodes Miller is pollinated by sexually excited males of the solitary bee Andrena nigroaenea, which are lured to the flowers by visual cues and volatile semiochemicals. In O. sphegodes, visits by pollinators are rare. Because of this low frequency of pollination, one would expect the evolution of strategies that increase the chance that males will visit more than one flower on

The purpose of this work is to compute the autodetachment rates of the nsnp2 P-4(1/2) levels for Be-(2s2p2), Mg-(3s3p2) and Ca-(4s4p2) . Fano's configuration interaction model is implemented to compute the interaction between the discrete and continuum spaces of the wavefunction, which are determined using the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock technique. Analysing the decay mechanism of the P-4(1/2)

The reliability of the correlation dimension estimation in short hydrological time series is investigated using an inverse approach. According to this approach, first predictions are made using the phase-space reconstruction technique and the artificial neural networks. The correlation dimension is estimated next independently and is compared with the prediction results. A short hydrological serie
