OBJECTIVES: To evaluate activity limitations before and after carpal tunnel release among patients with and without diabetes, to explore differences between genders and the influence of grip strength on activity limitations. DESIGN: Prospective case-control study. PATIENTS: Thirty-three patients with diabetes and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) were age and gender matched with 30 patients without d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Egenskaperna hos de material som utgör och omger oss, som t.ex. färg, struktur och kemiska egenskaper, bestäms av hur elektronerna som är en del av dess byggstenar, atomerna, är strukturerade. Ett sätt att undersöka elektronstrukturen är med hjälp den fotoelektriska effekten. Ljus, elektromagnetiska fält, kan beskrivas som en ström av ljuspartiklar, fotoner, som alla bäThe interaction between an intense laser pulse and a gas medium leads to the emission of coherent bursts of light in the extreme ultraviolet range. This process, known as high-order harmonic generation, has today, almost three decades after its discovery, developed into a reliable source of extremely short (on the order of 100 as) pulses of electromagnetic radiation, with a wide range of applicati

This thesis deals with numerical simulations of the turbulent combustion process in Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines. An accurate and computationally efficient Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model was developed and used throughout this thesis to investigate the development of in-cylinder turbulence, temperature stratification, onset of auto-ignition, and development of the react

ABSTRACT: Study Design. Prospective randomized controlled study.Objective. To compare the outcome of indirect decompression by means of the X-Stop implant to conventional decompression in patients with neurogenic intermittent claudication due to lumbar spinal stenosis.Summary of Background Data. Decompression is the golden standard for lumbar spinal stenosis nowadays but afflicted with complicatio

This thesis consists of an introduction and three self-contained chapters that address liquidity issues related to corporate ownership in the Chinese stock markets. The first paper provides new insight into the relation between foreign institutional investors and stock liquidity by employing the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) scheme in the Chinese stock markets. Unlike many develo

The aims of this study were to determine whether a registered nurse can collect information and plan a holistic and individual strategy for the treatment of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and whether this approach can reduce these patients' health aspects. The referrals of 50 Swedish-speaking female patients aged between 18 and 65 years with the preliminary diagnosis of IBS were coll

Popular Abstract in Swedish Frågan om marknadshandelns karaktär har aktualiserats genom de skandaler inom företagsvärlden som media har lyft fram under senare år. Dagens situation väcker frågor om den handel som förekom i äldre samhällen? Existerade marknadshandel till exempel under vikingatid? Om så var fallet hur uppfattades och hanterades marknadshandel i detta samhälle? Handelns roll för det The view of the exchange and trade that took place during the Viking Age has varied considerably. This variation is obvious from a scrutiny of how one and the same place, Birka, is described by different scholars over a period of a hundred years. Two very polarized pictures of Birka appear: A town with a mostly free market-oriented trade or an emporium with an administered commodity exchange contr

Antigens of the clinically important ABO and P1PK blood group systems are carbohydrate structures. Thus the underlying genes do not encode antigens directly but glycosyltransferases that add specific sugar molecules to selected precursor chains. The aim of this study was to investigate the transcriptional regulation of ABO and A4GALT, with an emphasis on interindividual differences. The up-and dow

Objective: Type 2 diabetes is heterogeneous in its clinical features, pathogenesis, and predisposing or causal genetic factors. This report examines what is known and what needs to be learned about the potential to individualize glycemic therapies in type 2 diabetes, based on phenotypes and genotypes. Participants: A 29-member international working group with expertise in diabetes epidemiology, ph

Objective: This study evaluates the effect of food intake on commonly used pulsed Doppler and tissue Doppler measurements. Methods: Twenty-three healthy subjects aged 25.6 ± 4.5 years were investigated. A wide selection of pulsed Doppler and tissue Doppler variables were measured before a standardized meal as well as and 30 and 110 minutes afterwards. Results: The following variables increased si

Paraquat is a widely used herbicide that is structurally similar to the known dopaminergic neurotoxicant 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridine and acts as a potential etiologic factor for the development of Parkinson's disease. In this study, we investigated the protective roles of lipocalin-type prostaglandin (PG) D synthase (L-PGDS) against paraquat-mediated apoptosis of human neuronal SH-SY5Y cells. The t
