Given that public transportation networks are often worse in rural areas than in urban areas, it is difficult for elderly non-drivers to access health-promoting goods, services, and resources related to mental health. Moreover, geographical location, assessed by elevation, could modify this association in a rural area. The aim of this study was to test whether the association between car driving (
Popular Abstract in Swedish Asymmetrisk katalys är ett omfattande forskningsområde där ett flertal olika typer av enantioselektiva katalysatorer har utvecklats och använts i en mängd olika kemiska reaktioner med varierande resultat. Det finns ingen katalysator som fungerar lika väl i alla applikationer, utan resultaten varierar från fall till fall och för vissa typer av substrat behövs det därför
OBJECTIVES: The referrals of elderly for cardiac surgery are increasing. The aim of this retrospective study is to review the long-term survival and to identify causes of late death in elderly after cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Between 1990 and 1993, 130 octogenarians underwent cardiac surgery in our department. A majority (88%) had elective surgery. One hundred and nine patients (84%) were in New Yor
The purpose of this study is to assess QT interval measurements from the EASI 12-lead ECG as compared to the standard 12-lead ECG. The QT interval was automatically measured in simultaneously recorded standard and EASI 12- lead ECGs, using a validated wavelet-based delineator. The agreement between the two sets of measurements was quantified both on a lead-by-lead basis and a multilead basis. The
The enzyme beta-galactosidase was purified from a cold-adapted organism isolated from Antarctica. The organism was identified as a psychrotrophic Pseudoalteromonas sp. The enzyme was purified with high yields by a rapid purification scheme involving extraction in an aqueous two-phase system followed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and ultrafiltration. The beta-galactosidase was optimally
The effects of two sympathomimetic drugs on mucociliary activity and mucosal blood flow in the rabbit maxillary sinus were investigated by using a photo-electric technique (mucociliary activity) and laser Doppler flowmetry (blood flow). The responses produced were compared with effects of ligation of the external carotid artery. The alpha 1-agonist phenylpropanolamine (0.1-100 micrograms/kg) had n
Antimicrobial resistance patterns and capsular groups of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRP; MIC penicillin G >= 0.5 mg/ml) in Sweden between 1997 and 2003 were described, and trends in resistance and antibiotic sales during the same period were compared. The most common serogroups were in descending order 9, 19, 14, 23, and 6. Despite a low and stable annual PRP rate (proportion o
The aim was to perform a bibliometric study, and compare the quantity of publications on schizophrenia with the total medical literature in Medline during 57 years, 1950-2006. The annual additions of literature to Medline are continually increasing and form the Medline growth curve. Comparisons of the number of publications on schizophrenia, or any other disease, to this curve, may be used to esti
BACKGROUND: In Crohn's disease high tissue expression and serum levels of chemokines and their receptors are known to correlate with disease activity. Because statins can reduce chemokine expression in patients with coronary diseases, we wanted to test whether this can be achieved in patients with Crohn's disease. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We investigated plasma levels of chemokines (CCL2, C
Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is dependent on the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) for transmission and replication because of its inability to produce its own coat. It remains unclear whether HDV infection increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Using the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register and Outpatient Registry, we identified 9160 patients with chronic HBV infection between 1997 and 2008,
Sesquiterpene lactone mix detects contact allergy to these compounds present in the plant family Asteraceae. This marker is present in many baseline series. An additional marker is Compositae mix, which is not present in many baseline series. To investigate whether this allergen should be inserted into the Swedish baseline series, sex dermatology centres representing the Swedish Contact Dermatitis

Recent years’ progress in the development of Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) has made rich well-sampled glucose data readily available. Reliable, frequent measurements are of outmost importance for the emerging closed-loop control of diabetic plasma glucose. However, these sensors do not measure the variable of primary interest - plasma glucose, but a delayed signal - the interstitial glucose. T
In a study on the problems of censorship and interpretation from 1984, (Censorship and Interpretation; The Conditions of Reading and Writing in Early Modern England), Annabel Patterson states that British authors of the seventeenth century often used the shelter of ambiguity as a protection from the threat of censorship. But as the text had to be understood by the intended readers, Patterson argue
Background: Global climate change is already increasing the average temperature and direct heat exposure in many places around the world. Objectives: To assess the potential impact on occupational health and work capacity for people exposed at work to increasing heat due to climate change. Design: A brief review of basic thermal physiology mechanisms, occupational heat exposure guidelines and heat
