Sexual dimorphism in various bone phenotypes, including bone mineral density (BMD), is widely observed; however, the extent to which genes explain these sex differences is unclear. To identify variants with different effects by sex, we examined gene-by-sex autosomal interactions genome-wide, and performed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis and bioinformatics network analysis. We co
OBJECTIVE - Consumption of a meal high in resistant starch or soluble fiber (P-glucan) decreases peak insulin and glucose concentrations and areas under the curve (AUCs). The objective was to determine whether the effects of soluble fiber and resistant starch on glycemic variables are additive. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Ten normal-weight (43.5 years of age, BMI 22.0 kg/m(2)) and 10 overweight
We reviewed results of SBRT treatment of 138 patients with medically inoperable stage I NSCLC treated during 1996 - 2003 at five different centres in Sweden and Denmark. Mean age was 74 years ( range 56 - 90) with 69 men and 72 women. SBRT was delivered using a 3D conformal multifield technique and a stereotactic body frame. Doses delivered were 30 - 48 Gy (65% isodose at the periphery of planning
Context. Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars preserve a fossil record of the composition of the ISM when the Galaxy formed. It is crucial, however, to verify whether internal mixing has modified their surface composition, especially in the giants where most elements can be studied. Aims. We aim to understand the CNO abundance variations found in some, but not all EMP field giants analysed earlier. Mi
PURPOSE: To explore the effect of different posterior-inferior tibial slope (PITS) angles on ACL injury at non-contact sports, knee laxity and the need for ACL reconstruction. METHODS: One hundred patients with an acute, arthroscopically verified total ACL rupture were followed prospectively with the intention of treating the injury without reconstruction. Knee laxity was assessed with the Lachman
AIMS: Determination of the myocardium at risk (MaR) and final infarct size by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) enables calculation of salvaged myocardium in acute infarction. T2-weighted imaging is performed prior to the administration of gadolinium, since gadolinium affects T2 tissue properties. This is, however, difficult in an ex vivo model since gadolinium must be administered for dete
A new member of the human cystatin superfamily, called cystatin E, has been found by expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing in amniotic cell and fetal skin epithelial cell cDNA libraries. The sequence of a full-length amniotic cell cDNA clone contained an open reading frame encoding a putative 28-residue signal peptide and a mature protein of 121 amino acids, including four cysteine residues and
Genetic engineering has been used for the fusion of peptides, with different length and composition, on a protein to study the effect on partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems containing thermoseparating polymers. Peptides containing 2-6 tryptophan residues or tryptophan plus 1-3 lysine or aspartate residues, were fused near the C-terminus of the recombinant protein ZZT0, where Z is a synthetic
OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of epilepsy in primary and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS); to analyze the clinical and laboratory features characterizing those with epilepsy in a cohort of 538 patients with APS; and to find associated features that would suggest risk factors for epilepsy in APS. METHODS: We analyzed the clinical features of patients with APS who had epilepsy and comp
Although the negative effects of ultraviolet-B ( UV-B) radiation on the development of many amphibian species have been demonstrated, some speciessuch as the common frog ( Rana temporaria)seem to be tolerant of UV-B radiation. The amount of UV-B radiation received is likely to vary among populations of the same species, but little is known about geographic variation in UV-B tolerance. Similarly, a
PURPOSE: Gitelman's syndrome (GS) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder due to loss of function mutations in the SLC12A3 gene encoding the Na-Cl co-transporter (NCCT), the target of thiazide diuretics. The defective function of the NCCT, which normally is expressed in the apical membrane of the distal convolute tubule in the kidney, leads to mild hypotension, hypokalemia, hyperreninemic hyp
Aims/hypothesis: The genetic architecture of model- derived parameters of beta cell function has never been assessed. Therefore, we estimated heritability (h(2)) for model- derived phenotypes of insulin secretion in twins. Methods: Thirty-three monozygotic (MZ) and 23 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs from the Finnish Twin Cohort Study underwent OGTT (plasma glucose/C-peptide at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min)
The combined effect of feeding regime and photoperiod on the growth of juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua in land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) was examined using three different commercial diets. Fish of 8-10 g were reared in 1 m³ tanks at an initial density of 10 kg m-³ for 78 d. Three RAS units were used to simultaneously test three feed/photoperiod regimes that might be encount

The study aims to analyze the effect of nostalgia marketing on consumers’ purchase intention by investigating if nostalgia has a relationship with purchase intention, and if self-referencing has an interacting effect on the relationship. The research is conducted in a quantitative method with a deductive approach, designed as a cross-sectional experimental study containing four separate web-based
Densifying cities has become a way to make room for the increasing urban population. By doing so, the urban green areas risk being reduced as well as the population’s availability to them. Research has shown that interaction with nature and green spaces contribute positively to human health and well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the inhabitants and municipality view the u

The research questions are 1) what considerations are made regarding the involvement of bonus parents? 2) what kind of role does the bonus parent have in the therapy? 3) What working models are used in family therapy with bonus parents?
Enligt ett flertal forskare uppstår det en konflikt då västerländska turister besöker muslimska destinationer. När individer med olika sedvänjor, värderingar och världsbilder möts kan det uppstå en konflikt i och med att individer önskar använda platsen på olika sätt. En del destinationer har valt att, med hjälp av en fysisk uppdelning och/eller en “double-standard policy”, upprätta gränsdragningaAccording to a large amount of researchers, conflict arises as western tourists visit Muslim destinations. When differentiating customs, values and worldviews meet, a conflict can arise in relation to the utilisation of the physical area in which the two cultures interact. With the help of physical separation and double standard policies, some destinations have chosen demarcation as a tool to upho
