Documentation of atrial fibrillation prior to first-ever ischemic stroke.
We assessed the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) prior to first-ever ischemic stroke by examining a comprehensive electronic ECG archive.
Growth is dependent on the exocrine pancreas function in young weaners but not in growing-finishing pigs
A correlation between the exocrine pancreatic function and growth has been previously demonstrated in growing pigs but the data are inconsistent. This was investigated by studying the growth performance of pigs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) at different ages and maintained under similar conditions. Twelve 7 week old (10.5 +/- 1.3 kg) weaners, and twelve 16 week old (43 +/- 5 kg) gro

Prevalence of eating difficulties and malnutrition among persons within hospital care and special accommodations
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of eating difficulties and malnutrition among persons in hospital care and in special accommodations. Design: The cross-sectional observational study was performed in Nov. 2005. Setting: Hospitals and special accommodations. Participants: Out of 2945 persons, 2600 (88%) agreed to participate (1726 from special accommodations and 874 f
Presence of Helicobacter pylori in Mumbai Water
Helicobacter pylon is found commonly in the gut of the human beings and animals. This bacterium is found usually when patients suffer from upper GI infections. H. pylon has been found in the patients in antral biopsies in Mumbai, India. We have found H. pylon in antral biopsies and faeces in another Study we have done. The mode of transmission of H. pylon is yet not confirmed although two routes a
Distinct inflammatory mediator patterns characterize infectious and sterile systemic inflammation in febrile neutropenic hematology patients.
Invasive infections and sterile tissue damage can both give rise to systemic inflammation with fever and production of inflammatory mediators. This makes it difficult to diagnose infections in patients who are already inflamed, e.g. due to cell and tissue damage. For example, fever in patients with hematological malignancies may depend on infection, lysis of malignant cells, and/or chemotherapy-in
Detecting the impact of invasive species on native fauna: Cane toads (Bufo marinus), frillneck lizards (Chlamydosaurus kingii) and the importance of spatial replication
An understanding of which native species are severely impacted by an anthropogenic change (such as the arrival of an invasive species) and which are not is critical to prioritizing conservation efforts. However, it is difficult to detect such impacts if the native taxa exhibit strong stochastic variations in abundance; a 'natural' population decline might be wrongly interpreted as an impact of the
Biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of recombinant α1-microglobulin and its potential use in radioprotection of kidneys.
Peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is a systemically administrated molecular targeted radiation therapy for treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. Fifteen years of clinical use show that renal toxicity, due to glomerular filtration of the peptides followed by local generation of highly reactive free radicals, is the main side-effect that limits the maximum activity that can be administrated
Analytical theory of ideal polydisperse polymers at interfaces
We use a recently developed continuum theory to present an exact treatment of the interfacial properties of ideal polymers displaying Schulz-Flory polydispersity. Our results are remarkably compact and can be derived from the properties of equilibrium, ideal polymers at interfaces. We apply our theory to a number of cases, including, non-adsorbing and adsorbing surfaces, as well as telechelic chai

Multiple beta(-) decaying states in Re-194: Shape evolution in neutron-rich osmium isotopes
beta decays from heavy, neutron-rich nuclei with A similar to 190 have been investigated following their production via the relativistic projectile fragmentation of an E/A = 1 GeV Pb-208 primary beam on a similar to 2.5 g/cm(2) Be-9 target. The reaction products were separated and identified using the GSI FRagment Separator (FRS) and stopped in the RISING active stopper. gamma decays were observed
Free-carrier absorption in quantum cascade structures
We show that the free-carrier absorption in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) is very small and radically different from the classical Drude result due to the orthogonality between the direction of the carrier free motion and the electric field of the laser emission. A quantum mechanical calculation of the free-carrier absorption and intersubband oblique absorption induced by interface defects, Coulom
Efficacy of preoperative radiochemotherapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma
Background. The optimal care for patients with unresectable, non-metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) is debated. We treated 17 consecutive cases with preoperative radiochemotherapy (RCT) as a means for downstaging their tumours and compared outcome with 35 patients undergoing direct surgery for primarily resectable PAC during the same time period. Methods. The patients had biopsy proven, un

Binding of complement regulators to invasive nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae is not increased compared to nasopharyngeal isolates, but serum resistance is linked to disease severity.
The aim of the present study was to analyse the importance for non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) isolated from patients with sepsis (invasive isolates) compared to nasopharyngeal isolates from patients with upper respiratory tract infection to resist the complement-mediated attack in human serum and to correlate this to disease severity. We in detail studied and characterized cases of inv

Barriers faced by Ugandan university students in seeking medical care and sexual health counselling: a cross-sectional study
Background: Meeting the medical and sexual health care needs of young people is crucial for sustainable development. In Uganda, youth are faced with a number of challenges related to accessing medical care and sexual health counselling services. This study sought to investigate the barriers faced by Ugandan university students in seeking medical care and sexual health counselling. Methods: This st
Endoplasmic Reticulum Dynamic Structural Changes in Neurons: The Fission-Fusion Phenomena
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det endoplasmatiska retiklet (ER) är nödvändigt för proteinsyntes och posttranslationell proteinmodifiering. ER är också iblandat i cellstress och utgör den största intracellulära kalciumkällan i nervceller. Neuronalt ER bildar ett kontinuerligt nätverk som består av dels rörliknande förbindelser (tubules) och större cisterner. Att nätverket utgör en kontinuerlig lumen The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for protein synthesis and protein maturation, is involved in cell stress and serves in neurons as the major intracellular Ca2+ store. Neuronal ER forms a continuous network of cisterns and tubules extending from soma to a subset of dendritic spines. The continuity of ER structure is important for maintaining ER basic functions and necessary for proteins an
Estimation of Nonhomogeneous and Multi-Section Twisted-Pair Transmission-Line Parameters
In emerging and future copper access networks, the trend goes towards exploiting higher transmission bandwidths on shorter twisted-pair cables. Methods to accurately determine relevant transmission-line parameters are a prerequisite to exploit the potential of these short-to-medium range access lines. In this paper, we propose a model-based space-frequency optimization approach initially developed
