A possible overlap between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and anorexia nervosa (AN), in terms of both behavioural and cognitive features, has led to new areas of research. The aim of the present study was to examine the occurrence of eating behaviours frequently seen in ASD among adolescents and young adults with AN. The participants were females within the age range 15–25 years: 36 with current A
The present work aims to study preparation of thin MIP films on a gold-coated QCM resonator in a well-controlled and reproducible manner. A surface-bound photo-radical initiator was used to furnish an imprinting polymerization in a dilute solution of template, functional monomer and crosslinker. Prior to polymerization, the photo-initiator was covalently coupled to a self-assembled monolayer of ca
In this study we investigate the effect of programmed cross-flows on the error in the hydrodynamic radii (r(h)) determination with asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF). Three different standard polystyrene particles (nominal radii of 30 and 40 and 50nm) are fractionated with exponentially and linearly decaying cross-flows with different decay rates. Hydrodynamic radii are calculate
Background: Subjects with non-O ABO blood group alleles have increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Glycosyltransferase activity is greater for the A(1) versus A(2) variant, whereas O01 and O02 variants are nonfunctioning. We hypothesized: 1) A(1) allele would confer greater risk than A(2) allele, 2) protective effect of the O allele would be equivalent for O01 and O02 variants, 3) secretor phenotyp
Background Histological examination of small bowel biopsies is normally the gold standard for the diagnosis of celiac disease (CD). The objective of this study was to investigate whether the rate of decreases in elevated plasma IgA tissue transglutaminase antibody (IgA-tTG) and/or IgG deamidated gliadin peptides antibody (IgG - DGP) concentrations could be used as a confirming test for CD in child
OBJECTIVE-Although insulin resistance (IR) may underlie associations between depressive symptoms and diabetes, previous findings have been contradictory. We examined whether depressive symptoms associate with IR and insulin secretion, and, additionally, whether antidepressant medication use may modulate such associations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A total of 4,419 individuals underwent an oral g
Stripping gas is generally used to improve hydrogen yields in fermentations. Since CO2 is relatively easy to separate from hydrogen it could be an interesting stripping gas. However, a higher partial CO2 pressure is accompanied with an increased CO2 uptake in the liquid, where it hydrolyses and induces an increased requirement of NaOH to maintain the pH. This enhances the osmotic pressure in the c
Reaction of the octadentate ligand 2,6-bis{3-[N,N-di(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]propoxy}benzoic acid (LH) with Fe(ClO4)(3) leads to the formation of the tetranuclear complexes [Fe-4(mu-O)(2)(LH)(2)(ClCH2 CO2)(4)](ClO4)(4) (1), [{Fe-2(mu-O)L(R-CO2)}(2)](ClO4)(4) (2 R = C6H5-, 3 R = CH3-, 4, R = ClCH2-). The crystal structures of complexes 1 and 2 reveal that they consist of two Fe-2(III)(mu-O)(mu-RCO2)(
We have previously raised two monoclonal antibodies (7B1, 14F11) recognizing the high-affinity leukotriene B4 receptor, BLT1. They were presently used to determine receptor surface expression in the hematopoietic system. In peripheral blood, BLT1 was primarily recognized in granulocytes, monocytes and, to a lower extent, in certain lymphocytes except the CD4 subpopulation. The expression pattern w
Virtual communities and social networks assume and consume more aspects of people's lives. In these evolving social spaces, the boundaries between actual and virtual reality, between living individuals and their virtual bodies, and between private and public domains are becoming ever more blurred. As a result, users and their presentations of self, as expressed through virtual bodies, are increasi
The risk of hip fracture rises rapidly with age, and is particularly high in women. This increase in fracture risk reflects both the age-related change in the risk of falling and decrements in the strength of the proximal femur. To better understand the extent to which proximal femoral density, structure and strength change with age as a function of gender, we have carried out a longitudinal analy
Patients and methods: We conducted a study among 5533 survivors of testicular cancer on the basis of Swedish Family-Cancer Database for which the cancer data were retrieved from the nationwide Cancer Registry. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of second cancer were calculated by comparing with the rates of the first cancers. The follow-up was started in 1980 and carried on through 2006. Results
Objective: Non-obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are characterized by predominant defective insulin secretion. However, in non-obese T2DM patients, metformin, targeting insulin resistance. is non-inferior to the prandial insulin secretagogue, repaglinide, controlling overall glycaemia (HbA(1c)). Whether the same apply for postprandial glucose and lipid metabolism is unknown. Here. we comp
A kinetic model of the fermentative production of lactic acid from glucose by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis ATCC 19435 in whole-wheat flour has been developed. The model consists of terms for substrate and product inhibition as well as for the influence of pH and temperature. Experimental data from fermentation experiments under different physical conditions were used to fit and verify the model.
Aim. Endovascular repair of complicated type B dissections has evolved as a promising alternative to open repair. Previous studies have indicated that continued false lumen flow is a predictor of continued aortic dilatation and risk of rupture during follow-up. This multicenter study was conducted to analyze the postoperative changes of the false lumen after endografting of complicated type B diss
Ultrafast accelerator-based sources combined with synchronized femtosecond lasers are currently being developed. The method described here is intended as a jitter monitor at such facilities. We report on the possibility of extracting a time-offset signal between two different synchronized ultrashort light pulses. The method is based on sum-frequency generation in a nonlinear crystal. Aiming at ext
We have previously shown that metoclopramide potentiates the effect of ionizing radiation and cisplatin treatment of human squamous cell carcinomas from the head and neck region xenografted to nude mice. In the present tumor study, the dose scheduling of metoclopramide in combination with radiation was evaluated, and metoclopramide was shown to be most effective in potentiating the cytotoxic effec
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and protected specimen brush technique has become an established method for etiologic diagnosis in severe forms of pulmonary infections during recent years. In this study, including 62 bronchoscopies in 53 patients, a standardized program, covering all important pulmonary pathogens, has been evaluated in a heterogeneous group of patients. Results
Popular Abstract in Swedish Effekter av giftiga växtplankton på copepoder Vad är växtplankton och copepoder? Växtplankton eller mikroalger som de också kalla's är de dominerande växterna i havet. Det finn's många olika typer av växtplankton och de är alla mycket små (dera's storlek är mellan ett par till några hundra tusendelar av en millimeter). Växtplanktonen använder ljusenergin från solen ocPhytoplankton growth and loss rates are governed by several factors and in many cases, when growth control fails, algal blooms are established. Such blooms can be formed by different phytoplankton species and some of them have harmful impacts on marine ecosystems. One of these negative impacts by some bloom-forming phytoplankton is the ability to produce toxic or inhibitory compounds with broad ef
