OBJECTIVE: To study the stent/vessel interaction and distensibility following the natural increase in vascular diameter using self-expanding and balloon-expanded stents. DESIGN: Open experimental study. SETTING: Animal laboratory, university hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight Palmaz (P) and eight Gianturco (G) stents were transluminally placed in the infrarenal aortas of 16 pigs. Pulsatile dia

OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has been proposed as a new treatment modality for type 2 diabetes. To circumvent the drawback of the short half-life of GLP-1, inhibitors of the GLP-1-degrading enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) have been examined. Such inhibitors improve glucose tolerance in insulin-resistant rats and mice. In this study, we examined the 4-week effect of 1-[[[2-[(5

Fuel Taxes and the Poor challenges the conventional wisdom that gasoline taxation, an important and much-debated instrument of climate policy, has a disproportionately detrimental effect on poor people. Increased fuel taxes carry the potential to mitigate carbon emissions, reduce congestion, and improve local urban environment. As such, higher gasoline taxes could prove to be a fundamental part of

With a method relying on measurements of water vapour flow from a specimen and on measurements of distribution of relative humidity in the specimen at steady state conditions, it is possible to calculate the moisture permeability. Its dependence on relative humidity is presented.

Eleven species of common fungi from compost were analysed for their content of ergosterol and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) after growth on agar media. Mean content of ergosterol was 3.1 mg g(-1) dw of fungal mycelium (range 1-24 mg g(-1) dw). Total amount of PLFAs varied between 2.6 and 43.5 mumol g(-1) dw of fungi (mean 14.9 mumol g(-1) dw). The most common PLFAs were 16:0,18:2omega6,9 and 18

The vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism is probably the most versatile method to fabricate semiconductor nanowires and several investigations assume a compositionally homogeneous catalyst particle. In this investigation we address the compositional homogeneity of the catalyst particle during growth of nanowires. Using diffusion calculations, we show that the particle is indeed homogeneous during VL

During the last few years, there has been an increased number of overcrowded apartments, due to increased migration but also housing shortage in general, particularly in the suburbs to major cities. The question is how the indoor environment in these apartments is affected by the high number of persons and how the problems related to high residential density can be overcome. This paper aims to spe

We use historical data on union density and new historical data on policies toward migrants to study the long-run relationship between the strength of trade unions and the social and economic rights of migrants in the Global North. In countries with strong trade unions, there was, for a long time, a widening distance between the rights of migrants and the rights of citizens, probably because the r

Deposition of aerosol nanoparticles using an electrostatic precipitator is widely used in the aerosol community. Despite this, basic knowledge regarding what governs the deposition has been missing. This concerns the prediction of the size of the particle collection zone, but also, perhaps more importantly, prediction of the nanoparticle concentration distribution on the substrate, both of which a

Introduction: Different strategies in prophylaxis for haemophilia among countries may affect long-term outcome. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare joint health in persons with severe haemophilia (PwSH) between Sweden and Greece, based on different approaches on prophylaxis initiation and management. Methods: Data were extracted from the PedNet Registry, which collects patient data prospectiv

Storm surges combine the power of two natural hazards, strong winds and flooding, and can have devastating effects on people, infrastructure, and nature in coastal areas. Ongoing global changes, including rising sea levels and shifting storm patterns, are expected to increase both the frequency and amplitude of such events in the future.

Up to 80% of adolescents have experienced trauma and one‐in‐seven suffer from post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a chronic, debilitating psychiatric disorder. For 50% of these adolescents, the course of their illness is further complicated by a co‐occurring substance use disorder, which often develops from repeated self‐medication of PTSD symptoms. Once established, both disorders serve to mai

Published meta-analyses indicate significant but inconsistent incident type-2 diabetes(T2D)-dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) risk ratios or risk relations (RR). It is nowover a decade ago that a published meta-analysis used a predefined standard to identify validstudies.

Background: While plasma-derived concentrates containing large amounts of von Willebrand factor (VWF) are effective in treating von Willebrand disease (VWD), optimal dosing remains to be fully characterized. Objectives: To determine the feasibility of dosing Haemate P-(R) VWF/factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate based on pharmacokinetics (PK) in the management of surgical subjects with VWD. Methods: VW
