Three-dimensional ultrasound studies of normal and abnormal ovaries

Popular Abstract in Swedish Äggstockarna genomgår förändringar under en normal menstruationscykel. I samband med tumörväxt i äggstockarna utvecklas nya blodkärl. Dessa förändringar kan upptäckas med både tvådimensionellt (2D) och tredimensionellt (3D) gråskale- och Doppler-ultraljud. Med Doppler-ultraljud kan man upptäcka blodkärl och uppskatta blodflödeshastigheterna i blodkärlen. Referensvärden The aims of this work were: 1) to estimate the number of follicles, ovarian volume and power Doppler vascular indices and their changes with age using three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal grey-scale and power Doppler ultrasound in asymptomatic women of fertile age either with natural menstrual cycles or using combined oral contraceptives, and 2) to determine whether tumour vascularity, assessed by

Global transcriptional analysis of pheromone biosynthesis-related genes in the female turnip moth, Agrotis segetum (Noctuidae) using a custom-made cDNA microarray.

Using a custom-made cDNA microarray, global transcriptional analyses were conducted to identify genes differentially regulated in the pheromone gland as compared to the remaining insect tissue of the moth Agrotis segetum (Noctuidae). A two-fold or larger difference in relative expression levels was found for 227 of 864 genes investigated comparing the two tissues. Unexpectedly, an antennal binding

Conodont biostratigraphy, taxonomy and palaeoecology in the Darriwilian (Middle Ordovician) of Baltoscandia - with focus on meteorite and extraterrestrial chromite-rich strata

Popular Abstract in Swedish Conodonter är en numera utdöd grupp havslevande djur vars systematiska ställning länge varit föremål för debatt. De var i det längsta kända enbart genom sina millimeterstora, kalciumfosfatiska element, vilka vi idag vet satt i djurens munhåla. Sådana conodontelement beskrevs för första gången 1856 av Christian Heinrich Pander, men det skulle dröja närmare 130 år innan dThis thesis deals with conodont biostratigraphy and palaeoecology in the Darriwilian (Middle Ordovician) of Baltoscandia, with focus on limestone strata showing traces of the ~ 470 Ma L-chondrite parent body break-up. The evidence for this cosmic event includes abundant centimeter to decimeter-sized fossil meteorites and elevated levels of sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial L-type chromite found

Juxtarenal aortic aneurysm - Endovascular treatment and imaging techniques

Treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms has shifted rapidly from open surgery to minimally invasive endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, anatomical limitations such as short or absent proximal sealing neck and poor access vessels exclude up to 50% of patients. In attempt to increase the number of patients suitable for EVAR, fenestrated devices have emerged. In this new era, precise and re

Relation between perceived and measured workload obtained by long-term inclinometry among dentists

Dentists reported high perceived physical work conditions. Working postures and movements of the head and upper extremities during dental work were registered with inclinometry measurements during four hours. The aim was to clarify the relationship between measured working postures/movements and perceived physical work conditions. Dentists worked with elevated arms and a rather steep forward incli

Testicular cancer; gonadal, sexual and psychological aspects of the disease and its treatment.

The survival rates among testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC) patients have dramatically increased and more than 95 % are cured. The question of quality of life of the survivors is, therefore, important. The TGCC treatment, and thereby its side-effects may vary. A contributing factor to this variation is also genetically determined inter-subject difference in the sensitivity to the adverse effects o

Molecular preservation of the pigment melanin in fossil melanosomes.

Fossil feathers, hairs and eyes are regularly preserved as carbonized traces comprised of masses of micrometre-sized bodies that are spherical, oblate or elongate in shape. For a long time, these minute structures were regarded as the remains of biofilms of keratinophilic bacteria, but recently they have been reinterpreted as melanosomes; that is, colour-bearing organelles. Resolving this fundamen

A study of the b-quark fragmentation function with the DELPHI detector at LEP I and an averaged distribution obtained at the Z Pole

The nature of b-quark jet hadronisation has been investigated using data taken at the Z peak by the DELPHI detector at LEP. Two complementary methods are used to reconstruct the energy of weakly decaying b-hadrons, E-B(weak). The average value of x(B)(weak) = E-B(weak)/E-beam is measured to be 0.699 +/- 0.011. The resulting x(B)(weak) distribution is then analysed in the framework of two choices f

Increased urinary IgM excretion in patients with chest pain due to coronary artery disease

Background: Micro-albuminuria is a recognized predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with coronary artery disease. We have previously reported, in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, that an increased urinary excretion of IgM is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of urinary IgM excretion in patients wit

Design Space Exploration of Digital Circuits for Ultra-low Energy Dissipation

The ever expanding market of ultra portable electronic products is compelling the designer to invest major efforts in the development of small and low energy electronic devices. The driving force and benefactors of such devices are (but not limited to) e-health system, sensor network applications, security systems, environmental applications, and home automation systems. These markets have launche

Developing Self-Actualizing and Dutiful Citizens: Testing the AC-DC Model Using Panel Data Among Adolescents

One of the major issues facing contemporary democracies is how the rapidly changing media environment influences democratic citizenship. Rather than strengthening or weakening citizenship per se, the present study analyzes whether traditional news and interactive online media encourage different forms of civic and political engagement among adolescents. More specifically, we use three waves of ann

Postal round trip to Amsterdam. The private entrepreneurship within the Swedish postal organization in 1716.

This article is a case study of the organization of the Swedish postal route to Europe in 1716. In the winter of 1715, the Swedish Baltic Empire lay in ruins and when the Swedish King Charles XII landed in Ystad, in the south of Sweden, he had many problems to deal with. One of the most urgent ones was to establish a postal route to the rest of Europe. During the war the traditional Swedish postal
