Radiative lifetimes for the levels of the 3s(2)3p(2)4p configuration in neutral phosphorus have been determined experimentally for the first time and also theoretically. Experiments were performed by using two-photon UV laser excitation and subsequent fluorescence detection in a laser-produced plasma. In relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations, the Cowan code extended to 42 configurations was used.

Background. Based on the evidence that vitamin D is involved in the development of immune system and vitamin D receptor gene is associated with asthma, we supposed that vitamin D is related to the development of asthma. Methods. Asthma patients were identified from the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register and the hospitalization rate was examined by different seasons and regions. Standardized incid

BACKGROUND: Our objective was to examine the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced recruitment or leukocytes in the colon. METHODS: C57/Bl6 mice were subjected to 30 minutes of ischemia by clamping the superior mesenteric artery followed by 2 hours of reperfusion. Animals were pretreated with the selective p38 MAPK inhibitors SB 239063 and SKF 86

It is generally believed that pregnancy is mediated by a Th2 response, which includes cytokines that promote placental growth and are involved in inducing tolerance to the foetus. If the balance between Th1/and Th2-mediated cytokines is disrupted, systemic and local changes could predispose the foetus to future disease. Therefore, a shift in the Th1/Th2 balance during pregnancy, possibly caused by

This article examines the pathophysiology of lesions caused by focal cerebral ischemia. Ischemia due to middle cerebral artery occlusion encompasses a densely ischemic focus and a less densely ischemic penumbral zone. Cells in the focus are usually doomed unless reperfusion is quickly instituted. In contrast, although the penumbra contains cells "at risk," these may remain viable for at least 4 to

Abstract Objective. To demonstrate how patients' probability of having chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5 (measured GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) can be predicted from a specific value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Material and methods. The probability of CKD stage 3-5 was predicted from a logistic regression model (n = 850) using three different eGFR prediction equations: Lund-M

BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death, there is little empirical evidence on its direct healthcare costs and, especially, its indirect costs due to loss of production. METHODS: The present study is a retrospective analysis of all patients with pancreatic cancer (excluding endocrine cancer) in the primary catchment area of Lund Unive
