INTRODUCTION: As more patients survive coronary events, the prevalence of patients with refractory angina pectoris is increasing. The aim was to evaluate the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and compare with optimal medically treated patients with refractory angina. METHODS: 153 patients with refractory angina were treated with either EECP, SCS
n this study, Jordanian feldspar from Wadi Al-Jayshiah area was invested to evaluate its applicability as raw material for ceramic and industries. The chemical analysis indicated that the average Fe2O3 content is 2.33%, which is very high, compared to commercial ceramic and glass grades feldspar. The SiO2 content in the Wadi Al-Jayshiah feldspar (67.96%) lies within the required amount in commerci
This paper describes the development of two test formats, COLLEX and COLLMATCH, measuring receptive recognition knowledge of English verb +NP collocations, and reports findings from pilots and initial test administrations involving Swedish upper-secondaryschool and university level learners. Administrations of the test formats produced highly reliable scores and the performance of native speakers
Disorders affecting the central nervous system have proven particularly hard to treat and disappointingly few of novel therapies have reached the clinics in the last decades. A better understanding of the physiological processes in the brain underlying various symptoms could therefore greatly improve the rate of progress in this field. We here show how systems level descriptions of different brain
Schumpeter, Dahmén, Schön, Freeman, and other evolutionary scholars have shown that economic transformation and technological change are necessary prerequisites for long-term economic growth. However, for the Swedish case the exact sectoral and regional anatomy of the technology shift taking place since 1978 has not yet been disentangled. In this thesis, a disaggregation of the national process is
In Nazi Germany 1933-1945 the medical profession played an important role, not only within the health sector but also for ideological purposes. Some physicians committed criminal acts during the war, for example in concentration camps, and where later put on trial at the Nuremberg Trials in 1946-1947, some of them also sentenced to death. What is little known outside Germany is the existence of a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillväxtfaktorer påverkar signaler mellan celler i hjärnan Människors hjärnor innehåller flera miljarder hjärnceller, vilka är förutsättningen för vårt beteende, våra känslor och våra tankar. Hjärncellerna bildar kontakter, synapser, med varandra. Genom dessa överförs signaler från en cell till en annan. Varje cell kontaktar en mängd andra celler, både sådana med liknanThe neurotrophins, notably brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin 3 (NT3), modulate synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in the adult mammalian brain. Recent data suggest that neurotrophins might be mediators of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. Such plasticity is believed to be a cellular correlate for important processes like learning, but also for diseases, for
Hits from an in silico derived focused library for CRTH2 were transformed into highly selective antagonists with favorable ADME properties. Oral administration of 4-bromo-2-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl)phenoxyacetic acid (19) inhibited peribronchial eosinophilia and mucus cell hyperplasia in a mouse model of allergic asthma, supporting the therapeutic potential of this novel compound class. In
