Upper Body Muscle Strength and Endurance in Relation to Peak Exercise Capacity During Cycling in Healthy Sedentary Male Subjects.

Segerström, AB, Holmbäck, AM, Elzyri, T, Eriksson, KF, Ringsberg, K, Groop, L, Thorsson, O, and Wollmer, P. Upper body muscle strength and endurance in relation to peak exercise capacity during cycling in healthy sedentary male subjects. J Strength Cond Res 24(x): 000-000, 2010-The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between upper body muscle strength and endurance, and exercise capa

Opposing Effects of Apolipoprotein M on Catabolism of Apolipoprotein B-Containing Lipoproteins and Atherosclerosis.

Rationale: Plasma apolipoprotein (apo)M is mainly associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL-bound apoM is antiatherogenic in vitro. However, plasma apoM is not associated with coronary heart disease in humans, perhaps because of a positive correlation with plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Objective: We explored putative links between apoM and very-low-density (VLDL)/LDL metabolism a

Transepithelial exit of leucocytes: inflicting, reflecting or resolving airway inflammation?

The passage of infiltrated tissue granulocytes across airway epithelium into airway lumen is generally considered to be a pathogenic process in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). An alternative hypothesis is proposed here-namely that the transepithelial egression of infiltrated leucocytes acts to rid diseased airway tissues of proinflammatory cells efficiently and non-injurio

Kissingstents in the Aortic Bifurcation - a Valid Reconstruction for Aorto-iliac Occlusive Disease.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcome and patency predicting factors of kissingstent treatment for aorto iliac occlusive disease (AIOD). METHODS: Patients treated with kissingstents for AOID between 1995 and 2004 at a tertiary referral center were identified through local databases. Chart review and preoperative images were used for TASC and Fontaine classification. Follow-up consisted of clinical exams,

Association of tumor-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) expression with molecular markers, pathologic features and clinical outcomes of urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder.

PURPOSES: To describe the differential tissue expression of tumor-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) in normal bladder urothelium, primary urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) and metastatic UCB and to assess the association of TATI expression with molecular markers commonly altered in UCB and clinical outcomes after radical cystectomy. METHODS: Slides from eight cystectomy patients without

Anti-Muslim Violence and the Possibility of Justice

This thesis is concerned with the ways in which justice is dispensed in Swedish courts in cases concerning anti-Muslim violence. Based on material accessed through the Swedish National Board for Crime Prevention and classified as Islamophobic hate crimes, the judicial treatment of cases that may involve racism is analysed. An aim is to explore how different laws against racism in the Swedish legal

The physiotherapy clinical outcome variables scale predicts length of hospital stay, discharge destination and future home facility in the acute comprehensive stroke unit.

OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were: to follow the course of recovery of motor function following acute stroke, as assessed by the Physiotherapy Clinical Outcome Variables Scale (COVS), and; to investigate the ability of this instrument to predict length of hospital stay, discharge destination and future home facility. METHODS: In this prospective longitudinal study, COVS was registered at admi

Object detection and localization in compressed video

We study the problem of detecting and localizing objects that are embedded in compressed video sequences. Such a capability has two major and increasingly important practical uses: (1) video surveillance; (2) identification of copyright infringement. We focus here only on the problem of video surveillance. As a general rule, detection and localization of patterns is most efficiently performed in a

The syntax of Person, Tense, and speech features

This paper argues that Person interprets event participants in relation to speech participants in a parallel fashion as grammatical Tense interprets event time in relation to speech time. This understanding of Person is embedded in a general theory of speech-grammar-event matching, that is to say, an approach where speech (event) features, SF, are matched by grammatical features, GF, which in turn

Can complement factors 5 and 8 and transthyretin be used as biomarkers for MODY 1 (HNF4A-MODY) and MODY 3 (HNF1A-MODY)?

Aims Genetic testing is needed for the formal diagnosis of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), but this is not widely available. If any MODY biomarkers were known, these could possibly be used as an alternative. Hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1alpha and HNF-4alpha regulate transcription of genes encoding complement 5 (C5), complement 8 (C8) and transthyretin (TTR), suggesting that these

Weak associations between human leucocyte antigen genotype and acute myocardial infarction.

Objectives. Human leucocyte antigens (HLAs) are polymorphic molecules involved in antigen presentation. Associations between HLA type and autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, are well established but the potential association of genetic variation affecting antigen presentation with cardiovascular disease has not been systematically investigated in large cohorts. T

Non-linear association between androgen receptor CAG repeat length and risk of male subfertility - a meta-analysis.

Summary The CAG repeat in the androgen receptor (AR) has been widely studied in association with male infertility, but the results are conflicting. In a recent meta-analysis, infertile men had 23 and analysed in a binary logistic regression model. Men with CAG < 22 and CAG > 23 had 20% increased odds ratio of infertility compared with carriers of the median lengths [for CAG < 22: p = 0.03, 95% co
