OBJECTIVE—This study, one of the first to address issues of pulmonary insulin delivery in smokers, compared pharmacokinetics of inhaled insulin delivered via the AERx insulin Diabetes Management System (iDMS) in nondiabetic cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—In this randomized two-period crossover efficacy and safety trial in 27 nondiabetic smokers and 16 nonsmokers (18

In this paper, we propose a statistical theoretical framework for incorporation of sensor and actuator faults in dynamic simulations of wastewater treatment operation. Sensor and actuator faults and failures are often neglected in simulations for control strategy development and testing, although it is well known that they represent a significant obstacle for realising control at full-scale facili

The measurement of ensemble variability in time-aligned event signals is studied in relation to sampling rate requirements. The theoretical analysis is based on statistical modelling of time misalignment in which the time resolution is limited by the length of the sampling interval. For different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), the sampling rate is derived which limits the misalignment effect to le

Epidemiological studies of patients with major trauma, including both hospitalized and immediately deceased whom are undergoing medico-legal autopsy, are very rare. We studied the incidence and mortality of major trauma in all 10 districts in the Scandinavian city of Malmö, Sweden, and the association between socio-economic status and major trauma.

The article presents an analysis of boundary work within the context of care for the elderly, where violence appears to be widespread though still relatively unacknowledged. By resorting to certain descriptive – often jocular – modes, the staff designate aggressive acts committed by patients as 'non-violent'. This occurs although intent, responsibility, and injury – all common criteria associated

The research text seminar is generally a cherished element in academic life. Ideally, this is the place for the exchange of high intellectual thoughts in an atmosphere of mutual respect. But the text seminar, if viewed from the perspective of its historical roots in German academia, is also an arena for collective, informal and apprenticeship learning that is today challenged by a much more indivi

Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), an attenuated vaccine derived from M. bovis, is the only licensed vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). Despite its protection against TB in children, the protective efficacy in pulmonary TB is variable in adolescents and adults. In spite of the current knowledge of molecular biology, immunology and cell biology, infectious diseases such as TB and H

Objectives. To gain updated estimates of prevalence and incidence of RA and proportion on biological treatment in southern Sweden. Methods. Inpatient and outpatient health care provided to residents in the southernmost county of Sweden (1.2 million inhabitants) is registered in the Skåne Health Care Register (SHCR). We identified residents aged >/=20 years who had received a diagnosis of RA at lea
