A bibliograhy of Erik Cinthio, professor in medieval archaeology at Lund University. The bibliography covers the period 1946-2011. In his festschrift, "Medeltiden och arkeologin. Festskrift till Erik Cinthio" (1986) a bibliograhy by the same author covered the period 1946-86.

To evaluate the role of severe depression, i.e., depression with melancholic and/or psychotic features and alcohol dependence in suicide and undetermined death. The Lundby Study is a prospective, longitudinal study of a population consisting of 3563 subjects. In a long-term follow up 1947-2006 there were 66 suicide cases, including 19 undetermined deaths. Depression and alcoholism were as expected

In order to identify genes associated with primary chemotherapy-resistance, gene expression profiles (GEP) in tumour tissue from 37 patients with de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), stage II-IV, either in continuous complete remission (n = 24) or with progressive disease during primary treatment (n = 13), were examined using spotted 55K oligonucleotide arrays. Immunohistochemistry was u

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: PPARGC1A and PPARGC1B encode transcriptional coactivators that regulate numerous type 2 diabetes-related metabolic processes. Common genetic variation across PPARGC1A/B was characterised by genotyping tagging variants. We then tested associations of these variants with diabetes incidence or change in quantifiable metabolic traits directly or via interactions (with metformin treatm

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES. The authors evaluate the feasibility of differential imaging of contrast media, with division of individual pixel values obtained from digital images generated by characteristic radiation from a laser-produced plasma, bridging the K-absorption edge of the contrast agent. METHODS. Laser pulses from an ultrashort-pulse terawatt laser system were focused onto gadolinium and

The hypothesis was that some occupations could lead to preterm birth (PTB) because of potential exposures to various agents. The objective in this nationwide follow-up study was to analyse the association between PTB and parental occupational groups, controlling for potential confounders. Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register, in which all children born in Sweden from 1990 onward are regist

AIM: The cholesterol-lowering properties of oats, largely ascribed to its contents of soluble fibers, beta-glucans, are well established, whereas effects on atherogenesis are less well elucidated. Oats also contains components with reported antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that may affect atherogenesis. In this work we examined effects of oat bran on plasma cholesterol, markers of inflamm

BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence that vascular disease contributes to cognitive impairment and dementia. Clarification of the role of vascular risk factors in dementia is important because most are modifiable, in contrast to other risk factors such as age and genetics. METHODS: In 428 patients with mental illness we have investigated the relation of vascular disease to diagnoses, and a bio

Aim Despite advances in rectal cancer treatment local recurrence (LR) remains a significant problem. To select high-risk patients for different treatment options aimed at reducing LR, it is essential to identify LR risk factors. Method LR and survival rates of 4157 patients registered 1995-1997 in the Swedish Rectal Cancer Registry were analysed. LR risk factors were analysed by multivariate metho

The factor Va (FVa) inactivation by activated protein C (APC), mediated by cleavages at Arg306 and Arg506 in FVa, is inhibited by both factor Xa (FXa) and prothrombin. While FXa is known to specifically inhibit the Arg506 cleavage, the effect of prothrombin has not been confined to one cleavage site. We used recombinant FV variants, FV:506Q/679Q and FV:306Q/679Q, to investigate the effect of proth

Artikeln beskriver utvecklingen och användningen av bilder bland utvecklingsstörda ungdomar. Under tre decennier har oerhört mycket hänt. Först på 80-talet insåg man att bilder kunde användas för att kommunicera med den som har svårt att läsa och skriva. Men det är först när ungdomarna börjar ta egna bilder för att dokumentera sin vardag som något annorlunda och stort inträffar.

The authors were requested to analyse the frequency of shoulder surgery at the different orthopaedic units of Sweden and to propose national indications according to evidence in literature.(nko.se) Three main groups of shoulder disorders were studied: subacromial pain, shoulder instability and pain caused by degenerative glenohumeral pathology. About 6500 shoulders were operatively treated in Swed
