Objective. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly lethal disease and most patients are not eligible for curable resection. Estimation of prognosis is essential in order to provide the best individual treatment for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Prediction of survival by current methods is limited, therefore the objective of this study was to determine possible prognostic factors id
The high solubility in acidic solutions of N-bis(N',N'-diethyl-2-aminoethyl)-4-aminomethylphenyl-diphenylphosphine (N3P) make it a suitable candidate for study and comparison to the more commonly studied trisulfonated triphenylphosphine (TPPTS) ligand in the palladium catalysed aqueous hydrocarboxylation reaction. The catalyst employing N3P shows an inverted regioselectivity compared to the TPPTS
Cholecystokinin (CCK) reportedly induces both hyperplastic and hypertrophic changes in the pancreas. Blockade of the CCK receptor results in decreased pancreatic secretion and atrophy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the time-course of the effects of stimulation and inhibition of the CCK-A receptor in the rat exocrine pancreas. Male rats had infusion of sulfated CCK-8, the CCK-A receptor ant
Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskningsfrågan i studien är: "Hur uppfattar sjuksköterskestuderande sitt blivande yrke som sjuksköterska under sin treåriga utbildning, och hur förändras denna uppfattning under utbildningens gång." Studien är longitudinell och består av kvalitativa intervjuer med arton studenter från samma klass, vid fyra tillfällen under deras utbildning till sjuksköterska. DatainsThis study is built around the following research question: "How do student nurses conceptions regarding their future profession change during their training in the three year nursing programme?" The study is longitudinal in character and consists of qualitative interviews conducted with eighteen students belonging to the same nursing class. The students were interviewed on four occasions during
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is a medical procedure effective in the treatment of several different T-cell mediated diseases such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and Graft-versus-Host Disease. During ECP treatment the patient's blood is processed by means of a cell separator to collect leukocytes (leukapheresis), mostly lymphocytes and monocytes, which are then incubated with the photoactiv
The review and Paper I present applications of economics to the use of alcohol. The review considers the demand for alcohol. The first paper also considers taxes and other alcohol policy measures, social costs and economic evaluations. In Paper II, an Almost Ideal Demand System Model is used for the study of the demand for alcoholic beverages in Sweden during the years 1985-1995. The results indi
This study examines the impact of Anglo-American financial markets on CEO compensation. Starting from a sample of Norwegian and Swedish listed firms, we analyse this effect as manifested in the capital market (Anglo-American cross-listing) and in the market for corporate control (Anglo-American board membership). These effects are analysed together with the geographically broader effect of the pro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Planeten Jordens yttersta lager består av fast berg och kallas jordskorpan. Det finns två olika typer.av jordskorpa. Den ena är ocean, den andra kontinental. Den oceana jordskorpan är relativt tunn och uppbyggs av tunga, basaltiska bergarter. Den nybildas ständigt vid de s.k. mittoceana ryggarna ur smältor som där uppstiger ur Jordens mantel. Efter detta förstörs den doBetween ca 1.53 and 1.40 Ga, the southwestern margin of the East European Craton was subjected to extensive magmatism and deformation. While various suites of anorthositic, mangeritic and charnockitic-granitic rocks were emplaced between ca. 1.53 and 1.50 Ga, a major event of A-type granitic magmatism took place around 1.45 Ga. During that event, numerous voluminous plutons were intruded in a wide
Language disordered children with receptive language problems have worse outcome and also more severe problems in other areas of language than children with isolated expressive problems according to “the hypothesis of hierarchical vulnerability” formulated by Bishop and Edmundson (1987). We studied ten children with specific and severe developmental language disorders (DLD) longitudinally and foun

Objectives To create reference values representative of normal findings on two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) examination of the cervix from 17 to 41 weeks' gestation and to determine the agreement between cervical measurements taken by 2D and 3D TVS. Methods Cross-sectional study covering 17 to 41 weeks in 419 nulliparous and 360 parous women who deliver
The permeability of skin to nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) used in sunscreens as a reflector of the UV wavelengths of sunlight, was examined using nuclear microscopy techniques. Special attention was given to the permeation characteristics of these nanoparticles across the outer layers of skin, the stratum corneum, in healthy and psoriatic skin condition. Aspects that may influence the i
The objective was to explore the meaning of the phenomenon of problem solving in midwifery when the midwife is faced with a critical situation in the absence of an obstetrician or any physician. A qualitative method was used and critical incidents from delivery wards and/or antenatal clinics in the south of Sweden were narrated by midwives and transcribed verbatim. The interwievs were then analyse
SBU performed a systematic review concerning dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The review included the perspective of managing patients in primary care. Dyspepsia is a common condition but varies from one geographic area to another. Despite presenting symptoms of dyspepsia, a majority of patients may not have an ulcer diagnosis (non-ulcer dyspepsia [NUD]). For undiagnosed GERD
