Aims Orthostatic hypotension (OH) has been linked to increased mortality and incidence of cardiovascular disease in various risk groups, but determinants and consequences of OH in the general population are poorly studied. Methods and results Prospective data of the Swedish 'Malmö Preventive Project' (n = 33 346, 67.3% men, mean age 45.7 +/- 7.4 years, mean follow-up 22.7 +/- 6.0 years) were analy

På kommunernas hemsidor uppmanas äldre att klaga och komma med synpunkter. Klagomål beskrivs som ett värdefullt led för att förbättra verksamheten. Men hanteringen är rörig och klagomålen bagatelliseras av ansvariga chefer, visar forskning från Hälsohögskolan i Jönköping. ”De klagar mest på småsaker, att hemtjänsten inte kommer ibland och så där”, sade en av de socialchefer jag intervjuade i mitt

OBJECTIVES:: To report the late coronary complications and their treatment after ASO. BACKGROUND:: Asymptomatic patients after arterial switch operation (ASO) may have coronary ostial stenosis or obstruction. METHODS:: Since 1980, 279 patients were operated with ASO. At the time of preparing this article, selective follow-up coronary angiograms were done on 81 patients. RESULTS:: Coronary stenosis

BACKGROUND: Proteasomes control the level of endogenous unfolded proteins by degrading them in the proteolytic core. Insufficient degradation due to altered protein structure or proteasome inhibition may trigger cell death. This study examined the proteasome response to HAMLET, a partially unfolded protein-lipid complex, which is internalized by tumor cells and triggers cell death. METHODOLOGY/PRI

Return to Action: Critical comments on Bjørnar Olsens key-note article, "After Interpretation: Remembering Archaeology"

The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be quantified during the evaluation of control strategies in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). A modified version of the IWA Benchmark Simulation Model No 2 (BSM2G) is hereby used as a simulation case study. Thus, the traditional effluent quality index (EQI), operational cost index (OCI) and time in violati

Stroke induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion leads to transiently increased progenitor proliferation in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and long-lasting striatal neurogenesis in adult rodents. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is upregulated in stroke-damaged brain. Whether TNF-alpha and its receptors influence SVZ progenitor proliferation after stroke is unclear. Here we show that the i
