Objective: To investigate the cerebral circulatory response to superimposed acute hypoxemia in growth-restricted fetuses with established brain-sparing flow (BSF) during basal conditions. Material and methods: 76 term fetuses suspected of growth restriction were exposed to Doppler velocimetry in the umbitical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA), and in 38-39 cases also in Galen's vein (GV

Ahlgren AR, Cinthio M, Steen S, Nilsson T, Sjoberg T, Persson HW, Lindstrom K. Longitudinal displacement and intramural shear strain of the porcine carotid artery undergo profound changes in response to catecholamines. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 302: H1102-H1115, 2012. First published December 23, 2011; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00470.2011.-The effects of catecholamines on longitudinal displacemen
Early treatment response markers, for example, improvement in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score, may help clinicians to better manage patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated the prevalence of clinically important improvements in FEV1 and SGRQ scores after 2-month budesonide/formoterol or form
The number of approved antiangiogenic drugs is constantly growing and emphasizes the need for predictive biomarkers. The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive value of epidermal growth factor-like domain 7 (EGFL7) and microRNA-126 (miR126) to first-line chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). A total of 158 patients from two different
The transcriptional repressor Rex is a sensor of the intracellular NADH/NAD(+) redox state through direct binding of NADH or NAD(+). Homodimeric Rex protein from Thermus aquaticus (T-Rex) and Bacillus subtilis (B-Rex) exists in several different conformations. In both organisms, Rex in complex with NADH has the DNA binding domains packed together at the dimer interface, whereas in the apo form of
Animals display remarkable individual variation in their capacity to mount immune responses against novel antigens. According to the life-history theory, this variation is caused by the costs of immune responses to the hosts. We studied one of such potential costs, depletion of somatic resources in wintering wild-caught captive passerines, the great tits (Parus major) by immune challenging the bir
This study goes beyond attitudes and behavioral indications as response to risk perceptions and focuses on actual behavior of laypeople. We report the results from a survey, conducted among a sample of Swedish citizens in the spring of 2009, looking at lay actions as responses to the financial crisis of 2008. In total, 3138 respondents were asked whether they had done something to protect their mo
Domestic mallards (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) are traditionally used as a model to investigate infection dynamics and immune responses to low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs) in free-living mallards. However, it is unclear whether the immune response of domestic birds reflects the response of their free-living counterparts naturally exposed to these viruses. We investigated the exte
Globalisation has expanded investors’ financial reach and while most investments occur without much attention, some lead to disagreements and divergent responses from consumers. Therefore, this paper aims at providing a comprehensive picture of consumers’ responses following investments that become a matter of controversy. This research problem was addressed through the case of Oatly’s consumers’
Community resilience is a highly relevant topic and the focus of much contemporary research, however it has yet to be distilled down to an exact science. The current thesis applies a theoretical framework for community resilience as an analytical lens when investigating the community response to the Grenfell fire and tragedy of 14th June 2017. Of particular interest is to uncover what community re
We investigated the functional impact of a recently described islet-specific loss of sympathetic nerves that occurs soon after the autoimmune destruction of beta-cells in the BB diabetic rat (35). We found that the portal venous (PV) glucagon response to sympathetic nerve stimulation (SNS) was markedly impaired in newly diabetic BB rats (BB D). We next found a normal glucagon response to intraveno
In vitro growth hormone (GH) stimulation of Janus kinase 2 (Jak2) tyrosine phosphorylation and activation has been detected in rat adipocytes where GH exerts both chronic diabetogenic and acute insulin-like effects but not in adipocytes where only chronic diabetogenic effects are exerted. The 95 kDa transcription factor Stat5, which is tyrosine phosphorylated in response to GH in both cases, is he
To evaluate potential long-term effects of climate change and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on subalpine ecosystems, the coupled biogeochemical and vegetation community competition model ForSAFE-Veg was applied to a site at the Loch Vale watershed of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Changes in climate and N deposition since 1900 resulted in pronounced changes in simulated plant specie
Bumblebees (B. terrestris) were trained to fly through an experimental setup containing two tunnels which led to a single feeder. A variety of patterns were fitted onto the tunnel walls, each producing a different pattern of optic flow onto the retinae, in order to test for differences in flight behaviour and decision making as a response to the visual cues presented in the tunnels. The results sh
As chaperones, heat shock proteins (HSPs)protect host cells against misfolded proteins that constitute a by-product of protein synthesis. Certain HSPs are also expressed on the surface of tumor cells, possibly to scavenge extracellular unfolded protein ligands and prevent them from becoming cytotoxic. HAMLET—a complex of partially unfolded alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid—is relying on its N-termi
