Cold intolerance and pain can be a substantial problem in patients with peripheral nerve injury. We aimed at investigating the relationships among sensory recovery, cold intolerance, and neuropathic pain in patients affected by upper limb peripheral nerve injury (Sunderland type V) treated with microsurgical repair, followed by early sensory re-education. In a cross-sectional clinical study, 100 p
Symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in five percent of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but whether a genetic predisposition exists across different ALL treatment regimens has not been well studied. Methods: We undertook a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis for VTE in consecutively treated children in the Nordic/Baltic acute lymphoblastic leukemi
Mitochondrially bound dihydroorotate dehydrogenase catalyses the fourth sequential step in the de novo synthesis of uridine monophosphate. 312-bp and 983-bp regions of the human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase sequence (1496 bp) were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction, and subcloned into the expression vector pQE 32. The identity of the PCR products was verified by dideoxynucleotide sequencin
The effects of infused glucagon, histamine and vasopressin on blood flow in anesthetized rats with intrahepatic tumors were studied using microspheres labelled with 99Tcm or 51Cr isotopes. Considerable circulatory effects were noted both in central hemodynamic parameters as well as in organ and tissue blood flows. Glucagon infusion increased blood flow in the spleen and small intestine while hepat
BACKGROUND: Impaired olfaction is an important feature in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurological diseases. A variety of smell identification tests exist such as "Sniffin' Sticks" and the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). An important part of research is being able to replicate findings or combining studies in a meta-analysis. This is difficult if olfaction has
Introduction: This study aims to determine if evidence exists for a lasting effect of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle intervention on activity levels by comparing objectively collected activity data between the DPP Outcome Study (DPPOS) cohort and adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 2003-2006). Methods: Average minutes/day of light and moderate
Increased interest in hemicelluloses as a renewable source of biopolymers has resulted in an interest in hemicelluloses in process streams in pulp mills. The aim of this study was to compare potential positions for the withdrawal of hemicelluloses from mechanical pulp mills. Samples were withdrawn at a total of fourteen positions from two thermomechanical and two chemi-thermomechanical pulp mills.
Inula conyzae was discovered in Vellinge, southwestern Skåne in July 2007 Twenty-seven plants were found along a slope leading down to a small pond, and eight more individuals were discovered on a field nearby. The population seems to be several years old, and will hopefully expand. This is the first record of I. conyzae in Sweden since 1974. We discuss possible ways of immigration from neighbouri
Gastrostomy tube placements in children are associated with frequent postoperative complications. Children with gastrostomy tubes are frequent visitors to the emergency department and outpatient clinic. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of postoperative gastrostomy complications and disclose if these were correlated to the patients' age and diagnosis. This is a prospective study
The effects of the antinutrients tannic acid, catechin and phytic acid on digestion of starch, protein and lipids, and fiber degradation were studied in rat balance experiments. To separate digestion in the small intestine from fermentation in the hind‐gut, diets were tested without and with the addition of antibiotics. The antinutrients had no effects, either on starch digestion or on fiber ferme
Background: High-latitude bird migration has evolved after the last glaciation, in less than 10,000-15,000years. Migrating songbirds rely on an endogenous migratory program, encoding timing, fueling, and routes, but it is still unknown which compass mechanism they use on migration. We used geolocators to track the migration of willow warblers (Phylloscopus trochilus yakutensis) from their eastern
Background: Helping consumers make healthier food choices is a key issue for the prevention of cancer and other diseases. In many countries, political authorities are considering the implementation of a simplified labelling system to reflect the nutritional quality of food products. The Nutri-Score, a five-colour nutrition label, is derived from the Nutrient Profiling System of the British Food St
In vitro uptake of tritiated thymidine was studied in autoradiographic preparations of lymphoma cell suspensions obtained through fine-needle aspiration biopsy from 28 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The labelling indices (LI ) were highest in patients with histiocytic or poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma. During a two-year period there was a significant correlation between LI and s
Familial risks of psychotic disorders and schizophrenia have been assessed in previous studies. However, the degree of familial clustering in large population datasets remains to be established. We conducted a study on familial risks of psychotic disorders and schizophrenia by linking the Multigeneration Register to the nationwide Swedish Hospital Discharge Register. All patients younger than 72 y
Selective removal of the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons by the immunotoxin 192 immunoglobulin G-saporin has offered a new powerful tool for the study of the relationships between cholinergic dysfunction and cognitive impairments. In the present study the morphological and functional consequences of selective lesions of the basal forebrain cholinergic system during early postnatal development
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective obesity treatment in adults and has become established in adolescents. Lower adherence to supplementation in adolescents confers a risk for long-term nutritional deficiencies. Objectives: To assess adherence to supplementation, micronutrient intake, and biochemistry in adolescents through 5 years after RYGB. Setting: University hospitals,
Jupiter Trojans are a resonant asteroidal population characterised by photometric colours that are compatible with trans-Neptunian objects, high inclinations, and an asymmetric distribution of the number of asteroids between the two swarms. Different models have been proposed to explain the high inclination of the Trojans and to interpret their relation with the Trans-Neptunian objects, but none o
