The classical system for presentation of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) reflects the electrical activity of the heart as viewed in the transverse plane by 6 leads with a single anatomically ordered sequence, V1-V6; but in the frontal plane by 6 leads with dual sequences, I, II, and III, and aVR, aVL, and aVF. However, there is also a single anatomically ordered sequence of leads, called the C
A methodology for evaluation of natural draft cooling tower (CT) performance and its application is presented. The study establishes the connection between CT performance and power output. It can estimate a change in a CT’s efficiency as well as an increase in power output as a function of cooling water temperature and load to the plant. The methodology consists of three subparts, i.e. Cooling Tow
Slow-release strong opioids (SRSO) are indicated in patients with severe chronic pain. Side effects, lack of efficacy and risk of dependency limit their use in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to explore prescription patterns of SRSO in Swedish real-world data on patients with a diagnosis related to chronic pain (DRCP). Patient-level data were extracted from the national prescriptions
Robot-assisted surgery is a promising technical innovation. Given the similarities between laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery it is unlikely that randomized controlled trials would be conducted to disclose any differences between these two technical instruments. Thus, skepticism remains due to lack of any definitive conclusions in the literature.
Aim: To describe the use of mobility devices among people ageing with spinal cord injury (SCI), with a specific focus on use of powered mobility devices (PMD) and housing accessibility. Method: Data on the use of walking aids (cane, crutch/es or rollator), manual wheelchair and powered wheelchair/scooter were utilized. To describe functional limitations, environmental barriers and the magnitude of
Cell abundances and distributions of Alexandrium catenella resting cysts in recent sediments were studied along time at two locations in the Chilean Inland Sea exposed to different oceanographic conditions: Low Bay, which is much more open to the ocean than the more interior and protected Ovalada Island. The bloom began in interior areas but maximum cyst concentrations were recorded in locations m
The design and features of a high pressure chamber and burner that is suitable for combustion experiments at elevated pressures are presented. The high pressure combustion apparatus utilizes a high pressure burner that is comprised of a chamber burner module and an easily accessible interchangeable burner module to add to its flexibility. The burner is well suited to study both premixed and non-pr
Dementia is the most common cause of functional decline among elderly people and is associated with high costs of national healthcare in European countries. With increasing functional and cognitive decline, it is likely that many people suffering from dementia will receive institutional care in their lifetime. To delay entry to institutional care, many European countries invest in home and communi
Wireless wearable medical devices located on the opposite side of the body communicate through creeping waves. The creeping waves undergo exponential attenuation with distance. Hence, an analytical propagation model is useful to estimate the link loss for a reliable link. In this document, we have presented analytical link loss models for the wireless propagation channel between the devices locate
Abstract in UndeterminedPicture books and other visual merchandize for children and youth have a central role in Euro-American Sunni Muslim efforts at religious socialization. The proposed paper aims at making some analytical remarks on the complex cultural interplay inherent to the visual aspects of such pedagogic–cum–commercial material.Islamic children’s literature originated in Muslim American
Malmö University uses ECTS grades (A to Fail) in parallel with Swedish grades for some courses. During 2008 and 2009 I was course director for the course Masters Thesis at the International Masters Programme for Public Health at Malmö University, Sweden. After our first examination it was evident that lecturers from different backgrounds had widely disparate grading criteria and the same quantitat
The nucleotide sequence coding for the beta chain of murine C3 was determined from cloned cDNA and genomic DNA fragments. Sonicated subfragments were randomly inserted into the bacteriophage M13 and sequenced using the dideoxynucleotide technique. Each nucleotide was sequenced on average six times in these studies. The derived amino acid sequence includes a signal peptide and a tetra-arginine sequ

Background and purpose The Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) XIV protocol is based on experience from previous SSG trials and other osteosarcoma intergroup trials, and has been considered the best standard of care for patients with extremity localized, non-metastatic osteosarcoma. We analyzed the outcome in 63 consecutive patients. Patients and methods From 2001 through 2005, 63 patients recruited
