Background: In westernized societies, acne vulgaris is a nearly universal skin disease afflicting 79% to 95% of the adolescent population. In men and women older than 25 years, 40% to 54% have some degree of facial acne, and clinical facial acne persists into middle age in 12% of women and 3% of men. Epidemiological evidence suggests that acne incidence rates are considerably lower in nonwesterniz
It is shown that the Mn 2p spectra of Mn atoms in Pd-Mn bimetallic surface systems formed on Pd(1 0 0) exhibit a satellite, separated 1 eV from the main line, in addition to the 5 eV satellite previously observed for Mn-containing compounds and surface alloys. The main line and the low-energy satellite are both assigned to 2p(5)3d(6) final states whereas the 5 eV satellite is associated with 2p(5)
Research findings suggest that in order to clarify the relationship between occupation and health, occupation needs to be framed in several different ways. One facet of occupation is satisfaction with daily occupations, assessed using the Satisfaction with Daily Occupations (SDO) instrument. The purpose was to investigate some of the SDO's psychometric properties when applied on people with persis
Reactions of the triosmium cluster [HOs3(CO)(10)(eta(1):eta(1)-OC4H2CCH3)] with a series of aromatic aldehydes under mild conditions result in condensation of the ligand methyl group with the aldehyde C=O moiety to give typical aldol condensation products.
PURPOSE: Hereditary prostate cancer accounts for 5% to 10% of all prostate cancer cases. We assessed clinical characteristics and survival in patients with hereditary prostate cancer MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study comprised 201 patients from 62 Swedish hereditary prostate cancer families and 402 controls with prostate cancer who were matched for age and calendar year at diagnosis, and the hospit
A total of 330 in-patient episodes at the urology ward, with a mean duration of 9.8 days, were registered in a study of 100 patients who died from urological cancer. Twelve patients spent more than two months of their last year of life at the urology ward. As many as 82% of the admittances were on an emergency basis. A total of 101 operations were performed on 84 patients; 47 patients received pal
The levels of immune complex-like material in serum from 18 patients in connection with skin eruptions appearing during penicillin therapy were determined with a modified ELISA. Immune complex-like material could only be shown in the serum of 3 out of the 17 patients. However, according to ELISA results, the complexes appeared without the simultaneous presence of penicilloyl-specific antibodies. N
The chemical composition of plena, sphalerite and pyrite surfaces has been analysed after dry and wet grinding, and after treatment with water and aqueous solutions of potassium alkylxanthate by means of Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. The total metal concentration in the aqueous phase has been determined by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The rea
Linkage analysis of F-2 crosses has led to identification of large numbers of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for complex diseases, but identification of the underlying genes has been more difficult. Reasons for this could be complications that arise from separation of interacting or neighboring loci. We made a partial advanced intercross (PAI) to characterize and fine-map linkage to collagen-induce
Changes in both calcium and insulin metabolism have been described in essential hypertension. Low levels of plasma ionized calcium (Ca2+) and high levels of insulin have previously been associated with vascular complications and coronary heart disease. In the present study, indices of calcium metabolism and fasting serum insulin were related to electrocardiographic (ECG) variables in 58 patients w
Bladder function during filling and micturition is regulated by peripheral and central nervous and hormonal control systems. Micturition occurs in response to afferent signals from the lower urinary tract, and distention of the bladder wall is the primary stimulus. In the animal and human bladder, efferent adrenergic, cholinergic and nonadrenergic, noncholinergic (NANC) neurotransmission has been
We examine the spin asymmetry of ground states for two-dimensional, harmonically trapped two-component gases of fermionic atoms at zero temperature with weakly repulsive short-range interactions. Our main result is that, in contrast to the three-dimensional case, in two dimensions a non-trivial spin-asymmetric phase can only be caused by the shell structure. A simple, qualitative description is gi
Using NMR self-diffusion and H-2-NMR relaxation experiments, we have investigated growth of oil-in-water microemulsion droplets when spontaneous curvature is lowered, starting at emulsification failure boundary. We compare two ternary nonionic microemulsion systems, containing penta-ethylene glycol dodecyl ether (C12E5), and decane or hexadecane, at same surfactant-to-oil ratio and approximately t
OBJECTIVES: To study 40-55 mm aneurysms and calculate their size in relation to the individual predicted normal aortic diameter to see if this might add anything in the evaluation of treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The anteroposterior diameter of 40-55 mm AAAs was measured with an echo-tracking ultrasonic technique in 147 consecutive patients. The weight and height were registered and body surfac
Global error bounds are derived for full Galerkin/Runge-Kutta discretizations of nonlinear parabolic problems, including the evolution governed by the p-Laplacian with p >= 2. The analysis presented here is not based on linearization procedures, but on the fully nonlinear framework of logarithmic Lipschitz constants and an extended B-convergence theory. The global error is bounded in L-2 by Delta
The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze survival and prognostic factors in 111 consecutive patients undergoing curative resection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer. In addition, the time periods 1971-1984 and 1985-1995 were compared; criteria for first liver resection did not change with time, whereas the attitude toward re-resection was more aggressive during the latter period
Context: Childhood ketotic hypoglycemia ( KH) is a disease characterized by fasting hypoglycemia and increased levels of ketone bodies. The cause is unknown. Objective: The objective of the study was to study a pair of homozygotic twin boys, one of whom had severe KH from the age of 14 months, whereas the other boy was apparently healthy. Design and Results: At the age of 6 yr, the boys were thoro
