Transitorisk global amnesi - godartat tillstånd som även kan drabba unga

Transitorisk global amnesi (TGA) är ett godartat tillstånd med akut insättande oförmåga till minnesinprägling, som går i komplett regress inom 24 timmar. TGA förekommer huvudsakligen hos medelålders och äldre personer och anses vara mycket sällsynt hos personer yngre än 40 år. Tre fallrapporter presenteras där TGA drabbat unga män (16–22 år) under fotbollsspel. En litteraturgenomgång visar att mekTransient global amnesia (TGA) occurs mostly in middle-aged and elderly individuals, and is generally believed to be very rare in individuals less than 40 years of age. We present three cases of TGA in young persons (16-22 years). They all had a medical history and presented symptoms fulfilling the criteria for TGA. Physical examinations and investigations were all normal. All three presented thei

Anthony Giddens and public relations: A third way perspective

In the article, the main theories of Anthony Giddens (structuration and late modernity theory) are presented and applied upon public relations. A review shows that there have been few attempts to use these theories in public relations. The analysis states that using Giddens leads to a questioning of the dichotomy between instrumental agency-oriented theories that neglects power structures as well

Parallelization of a multi-blocked multithreaded general CFD code for heat transfer analysis

This article reports on a parallel implementation of a general 3D multi-block CFD code. The parallelization is achieved by using three strategies. Firstly, it is done on dual-processor PC-clusters where Windows NT systems are running. A multi-thread programming model is adopted for the multi-block code, where one thread corresponds to a block. Shared memory is used for the exchange of inner-bounda

Three-body correlations in Borromean halo nuclei

Three-body correlations in the dissociation of two-neutron halo nuclei are explored using a technique based on intensity interferometry and Dalitz plots. This approach provides for the combined treatment of both the n-n and core-n interactions in the exit channel. As an example, the breakup of 14Be into 12Be+n+n by Pb and C targets has been analyzed and the halo n-n separation extracted. Evidence

Importance of integrin LFA-1 deactivation for the generation of immune responses

The dynamic regulation of ligand binding is considered crucial for integrin function. However, the importance of activity regulation for integrin function in vivo is largely unknown. Here, we have applied gene targeting to delete the GFFKR sequence of the lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) alpha(L) subunit cytoplasmic domain in mouse germline. Lymphocytes from Lfa-1(d/d) mutant mice

Hyperfine induced interference effects in the 4s4d D-3(2)-4s4f F-3(2,3) transitions in GaII

We report relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations of transitions between the hyperfine levels of 4s4f F-3(2,3) and 4s4d D-3(2) in Ga II. The capacity of two newly developed programs connected to the grasp VU package for generating synthetic spectra is explored. The obtained theoretical spectra are compared to Fourier transform spectra and good agreement is found. The import

Nonlinear harmonic generation in free-electron laser oscillators

Nonlinear harmonic generation has been described theoretically, and observed, in free-electron laser (FEL) amplifiers. The mechanism relies on the nonlinear, higher-order bunching when the fundamental reaches high intensities, and can also be expected in high-power FEL oscillators. We use the 3D polychromatic simulation code MEDUSA to study the nonlinear harmonic generation in FEL oscillators. Str

Reproducing kernels and potential theory for the Bergman spaces

The role of weighted biharmonic Green functions in weighted Bergman spaces was first studied in the beginning of the 50's by Paul Garabedian. In 1951 he showed that they are closely related to reproducing kernel functions of weighted Bergman spaces. Half a century later, the properties of biharmonic functions turned out to be crucial to the factorization theory of Bergman spaces on the unit disk.

Modeling recovery of Swedish ecosystems from acidification

Dynamic models complement existing time series of observations and static critical load calculations by simulating past and future development of chemistry in forest and lake ecosystems. They are used for dynamic assessment of the acidification and to produce target load functions, that describe what combinations of nitrogen and sulfur emission reductions are needed to achieve a chemical or biolog

Acidosis-induced ischemic brain damage: are free radicals involved?

Substantial evidence exists that reactive oxygen species participate in the pathogenesis of brain damage following both sustained and transient cerebral ischemia, adversely affecting the vascular endothelium and contributing to the formation of edema. One likely triggering event for free radical damage is delocalization of protein-bound iron. The binding capacity for some iron-binding proteins is

Symptoms following mild head injury: Expectation as aetiology

An affective, somatic, and memory checklist of symptoms was administered to subjects who had no personal experience or knowledge of head injury. Subjects indicated their current experiences of symptoms, then imagined having sustained a mild head injury in a motor vehicle accident, and endorsed symptoms they expected to experience six months after the injury. The checklist of symptoms was also admi
