This study compared the short-term efficacy of two treatments (local anesthetics (A) and local anesthetics and lavage (AL)) in patients with permanently displaced discs and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. 45 patients participated in the single-blind randomized controlled trial. All patients had received: a Research Diagnostic Criteria/TMD diagnosis of disc displacement without reduction; an

A study was undertaken to measure the effects of conspecific density on the growth, mortality and deformity rate of yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi Valenciennes during the first feeding period. Newly hatched larvae were stocked in replicate tanks at initial densities of 40, 60 and 100 ind. l(-1) until 30 d post-hatch (DPH). Live prey was administered at frequent intervals in an effort to maint

Aims/hypothesis Many cystic fibrosis patients are vitamin D-insufficient. Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes is a major complication of cystic fibrosis. The literature suggests that vitamin D might possess certain glucose-lowering properties. We aimed to assess the relationship between vitamin D and cystic fibrosis-related glucose intolerance. Methods We enrolled 898 cystic fibrosis patients from Sw

PURPOSE: To analyze the effect of germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 on mortality in patients with ovarian cancer up to 10 years after diagnosis.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We used unpublished survival time data for 2,242 patients from two case-control studies and extended survival time data for 4,314 patients from previously reported studies. All participants had been screened for deleterious germlin

After identifying an association between maternal Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the authors analyzed a nested case-control study within Finnish and Icelandic maternity cohorts with 7 million years of follow-up to confirm EBV's role in ALL. Offspring of 550,000 mothers were followed up to age 15 years during 1975-1997 by national cancer registries to

The reported prevalence of malnutrition in pediatric hospitals ranges from 15% to 30% of patients, with an impact on growth, morbidity and mortality. Major deficits in nutrition care have been highlighted in European hospitals, and the implementation of nutrition support teams (NSTs) has been suggested as a means to improve malnutrition diagnosis and nutrition care for hospitalized patients. This

Particle size distribution (size-range 3-900 nm) and PM10 was measured simultaneously at an urban background station in Copenhagen, a near-city background and a rural location during a period in September-November 2002. The study investigates the contribution from urban versus regional sources of particle number and mass concentration. The total particle number (ToN) and NOx are well correlated at

The copper coordination geometry in the blue copper proteins plastocyanin, nitrite reductase, cucumber basic protein, and azurin has been studied by combined density functional (B3LYP) and molecular mechanical methods. Compared to quantum chemical vacuum calculations, a significant improvement of the geometry is seen (toward the experimental structures) not only for the dihedral angles of the liga

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utvecklare i stora mjukvaruprojekt måste orientera sig i enorma informationslandskap. Brist på överblick innebär ett hårt slag mot produktiviteten. Mönster ifrån tidigare buggar kan guida framtida underhållsarbete.Software developers in large projects work in complex information landscapes and staying on top of all relevant software artifacts is an acknowledged challenge. As software systems often evolve over many years, a large number of issue reports is typically managed during the lifetime of a system, representing the units of work needed for its improvement, e.g., defects to fix, requested features, or

Our clinical experience has suggested that the presently recommended patch-test concentration (1.0%) for formaldehyde in the baseline series might be too low. Therefore, consecutively patch-tested dermatitis patients were tested simultaneously with formaldehyde 1.0% and 2.0% (w/v) in aqua. Formaldehyde 1.0% and 2.0% were applied with a micro-pipette (15 microl) to filter paper discs in Finn Chambe

Objectives The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how a new logistic set-up can lower the transportation cost of OEM articles. Four objectives are identified to that end: identify the OEM articles, map their flow, create simulation tool and examine what logistics set-up is suitable. Background The increasing rate of globalization has put immense pressure on the world’s infrastructure. As a re

Uppsatsen behandlar den rättsliga hanteringen av personlig och sexuell integritet i dagens samhälle. Den utreder även det särskilt skyddsvärda i den sexuella integriteten. Uppsatsen grundar sig i en teori om att sexualbrott är starkt förknippade med kön, makt och sexualitet där offret oftast är en kvinna och gärningsmannen en man. Därför anlägger uppsatsen ett feministiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen This essay focuses on personal and sexual integrity and how they, as two protective interests, are dealt with in the legislation process and in criminal law in general in today’s society. It especially focuses on the specific characteristics of sexual integrity and sexual crimes. The essay is based on a theory that sexual crimes are strongly connected to gender, power and sexuality where the victi

Samhället har ett intresse av att skydda barn från att komma till skada när de växer upp under farliga förhållanden. Barns exponering för våld och övergrepp kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för barnets hälsa och utveckling. Bestämmelserna som reglerar vårdnad, boende och umgänge finns i 6 kap. föräldrabalken (1949:381). Barnets bästa ska vara avgörande vid alla beslut som rör barn. Vid domstolens Society has an interest in protecting children from harm when they grow up under dangerous conditions. Children’s exposure to violence and abuse can have serious consequences for the child’s health and development. The regulations regarding matters of custody, the residence of the child and visitation rights are found in the sixth chapter of the Parental Code (1949). The best interest of the chi

Direct bandgap metal lead halide perovskites offer promising optoelectronic properties desirable in a wide range of applications including photodetection. However, the incomplete and poor understanding of the photophysical processes taking place in these materials, along with their poor stability, is the bottleneck for optimisation and further development of metal halide perovskite devices. In thi

During the past few years the focus on bioprocess monitoring and control has increased. An area still under intensive development is the sampling methods for efficient and rapid analysis during fermentations. In this thesis, an online-sampling and monitoring scheme was developed using the versatile automated continuous flow system (VersAFlo) for recombinant protein production. From the implementat

Ageing populations and higher ambitions continuously drive healthcare costs in Sweden and worldwide. During the last two decades, downsizing hospital bed capacity has been the strategy for cutting expenditure in the Swedish healthcare system. However, the lack of implementation of new and viable outpatient alternatives has led to a widespread overcrowding problem in Swedish hospitals and emergency

PURPOSE: To study factors that might contribute to intraoperative proximal type I endoleak and to evaluate the placement of giant Palmaz stents as a therapeutic option. METHODS: Thirty-three patients (30 men; median age 72 years, range 50-85) with abdominal aortic aneurysms underwent implantation of fully supported Gianturco Z-stent-based endografts (12 custom-made aortomonoiliac and 21 bifurcated

Background: Little is known about how parental gender equality early in their children lives can influence daughters’ decision to use contraceptive pills. Aim:The study aimed at exploring whether maternal working time and paternity leave in Sweden during the first two years of their daughters’ lives is associated with the use of oral contraceptives when they are adolescents or young adults. Materi

With rapid urbanization and an increasing share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from cities, low-carbon urban transformations are critical for mitigating climate change. Local climate networks have been recognized for their potential to govern such activities. However, less is known about how such networks are implemented and managed as well as their capacity to accelerate transformative
