In late stage Parkinson's disease (PD) (i.e., Hoehn and Yahr (HY) stages IV-V), both motor and nonmotor symptoms (NMS) are pronounced, and the patients become increasingly dependent on help in their daily life. Consequently, there is an increasing demand on health-care and social care resources for these patients and support for their informal caregivers. The aim of this study was to assess satisf
Many patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experiencing L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) receive adjunct treatment with dopamine agonists, whose functional impact on LID is unknown. We set out to compare temporal and topographic profiles of abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) after L-DOPA dose challenges including or not the dopamine agonist ropinirole. Twenty-five patients with PD and a history
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between the degree of food processing in our diet and the risk of various chronic diseases. Much of this evidence is based on the international Nova classification system, which classifies food into four groups based on the type of processing: (1) Unprocessed and minimally processed foods, (2) Processed culinary ingredients, (3)
Aim: Several studies have addressed the association between changes in the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone levels and changes in parameters of periodontitis. In order to understand how these hormones affect periodontal health it is of major importance to obtain information on their physiological importance. We have previously shown that periodontal ligament cells (PDL cells) express
Complement is a cascade-like system that is part of the innate immune defence. It is an explosive system, potentially harmful also for the host cells, and needs to be strictly regulated. An important down-regulator of complement is C4b-binding protein (C4BP). C4BP contains two different types of subunits, seven identical a-chains and one unique P-chain. The alpha-chains bind to C4b, C4BP's target
Responses to isotonic quick release of AC-stimulated smooth muscle strips from rabbit urinary bladder were analysed. Releases were performed at the peak of contraction and at a preset tension level in the contraction and relaxation phase. In other expts. responses at 37 degrees C and 27 degrees C were compared. The length response always consisted of 3 parts: (1) elastic recoil, (2) rapid length c
BACKGROUND: Situational needs of health care facilities inform the optimal allocation of resources and quality improvement efforts. This study examines surgical care delivery metrics at a tertiary care institution in Liberia. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed operative and ward logbooks from January 1 to December 31, 2012. Data parameters included patients' age, diagnosis, procedure, mortality,
When the Swedish construction code (in 1994) allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, and also because wood is a plentiful resource in Sweden. Drawbacks in such buildings are disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the construction, especially through junctions. In lightweight constr
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test used in the clinic today has been subjected to suspicions regarding specificity and sensitivity, since cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis are hard to distinguish from those with prostate cancer. This thesis is based upon five original papers describing efforts to develop antibody microarrays enabling improved diagnostic prostate cancer ana
Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektromagnetiska fält finns idag överallt och är en förutsättning för att det moderna samhället ska fungera. Utan att fundera närmare på det, använder vi oss ständigt av de elektromagnetiska fältens förmåga att trådlöst överföra information och energi. Några exempel är; uppvärmning av mat i mikron och på induktionshällen, samtal i mobiltelefonen, uppdatering av status In this thesis, an inverse source reconstruction method with great potential in radome diagnostics is presented. A radome is a cover that encloses an antenna in order to protect it from environmental influences. Radome diagnostics are acquired in the design process, the delivery control, and in performance verification of repaired and newly developed radomes. A measured near or far field may indic
Sulfur-containing compounds are used as rescue agents to protect normal tissue from the toxic side effects of cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(2)] (cisplatin) without affecting its anti-tumour activity. Reactions of the model complexes [Pt(dien)Cl](+) (1) and [Pt(dien)(GSMe)](2+) (2) (GSMe = S-methylglutathione) with the rescue agents glutathione (GSH), thiourea, thiosulfate, and diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) have
Background: Patients with possible radiation induced cancer could be used to study if the rate of tumour cell proliferation is related to latency time. Such a finding could help researcher to find time periods when other initiating risk factors operate. Methods: Seventeen women with breast cancer, with a prior history of radiation treatment towards the parts or the whole breast, exclusive of the p
Forestry is of major economical importance in Europe, and recent devastating windstorms have pinpointed the vulnerability of this economic sector to windstorms. Forest damage is an important economic issue at a country level and may become even of larger concern under future conditions following global warming. An underlying question is to what extent the storm damage is due to changes in the wind
Popular Abstract in Swedish Spårbarhet av livsmedel för att garantera ursprung, kvalitet och säkerhet i samband med produktion och transport har blivit alltmer uppmärksammat i samhället. Kraven på att livsmedel skall vara kvalitetsmässigt säkerställda samt miljömässigt hållbara har vuxit sig starkare från konsumenter såväl som från myndigheter. En bidragande orsak är den ökade fokuseringen kring bFood traceability is gaining increased attention in food companies and governmental authorities. This is because of the increase in legal and consumer requirements on ensuring food safety, quality and preservation of living resources. These requirements especially apply to the management of food traceability in regulated fresh food supply chains. Several studies have shown that management of food
A new law regarding child-maintenance was issued in Sweden in 1997. The main purpose of the reform was to make the system more cost-efficient, in order to minimise government expenditure. This was done by advocating a more individualised economic responsibility, as well as new rules for how to calculate maintenance levels. Almost five years later it is clear that the economic goals have not been
