BACKGROUND: Poor quality of life (QoL) is a feature of people with Parkinson's disease (PD) who develop dementia. The relationship between mild cognitive impairment in PD (PD-MCI) and QoL is less clear. To address this, we studied the impact of varying severities of cognitive impairment on QoL in a cohort of non-demented patients with early PD.METHOD: Patients with newly diagnosed PD (n = 219) and

Modern vibrational spectroscopy techniques enable the rapid collection of thousands of spectra in a single hyperspectral image, allowing researchers to study spatially heterogeneous samples at micrometer resolution. A number of algorithms have been developed to correct for effects such as atmospheric absorption, light scattering by cellular structures and varying baseline levels. After preprocessi

Joachim Östlund undersöker de begrepp, berättelser och metaforer om krig som den svenska statsmakten använde sig av när den vände sig till folket genom de så kallade böndagsplakaten. Det handlar alltså om varierande representationer av krig i en specifik genre av material, över lång tidsaxel. Böndagsplakaten lästes alltsedan 1500-talet upp från predikostolarna och fungerade, tillsammans med övriga

BACKGROUND: Many lifestyle factors have been associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, most of these studies have not considered the potential impact of obesity and have often only investigated one lifestyle factor at the time. We aimed to investigate the interplay between body mass index (BMI) and MetS with respect to multiple lifestyle factors.METHODS: BMI and MetS [National Choles

The present article is concerned with mechanisms which are responsible for the exaggerated brain damage observed in hyperglycemic animals subjected to transient global or forebrain ischemia. Since hyperglycemia enchances the production of lactate plus H+ during ischemia, it seems likely that aggravation of damage is due to exaggerated intra- and extracellular acidosis. This contention is supported

Nowadays, we live in a society with billions of devices that are interconnected and interact together to improve the quality of our lives. The management and processing of information and knowledge have by now become our main resources, and the fundamental factors of economic and social development, and it is achieved through Big Data Frameworks (BDFs). The amount of such data is becoming larger e

While many mutations thought to result in protein S (PS) deficiency are known. there have been few attempts to relate genotype expression with plasma phenotype. We have investigated the nature and consequence of PS gene (PROS 1) mutations in 17 PS-deficient families who presented with mixed type I and type III phenotypes. Seven different mutations were found in nine families: delG-34 (STOP codon a

Assessment of indoor air quality in terms of microbial flora is important since inhalation of air-borne microorganisms has been associated e.g. with asthma and allergy. We focus on certain unique microbial markers: muramic acid, marker of bacterial peptidoglycan/biomass; 3-hydroxy fatty acids with 10-18 carbon chains, markers of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) of Gram-negative bacteria; and er

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling analyseras unga mäns vålds- och offerupplevelser. Studien bygger på olika typer av material men det mest centrala underlaget består av samtalsintervjuer med unga män som har blivit utsatta för misshandel eller rån. Sätten på vilka de unga männen talar om sig själva, förövaren, våld och offerskap utgör utgångspunkten för analysen. Inom ramen för samtalIn this dissertation, young men's experiences of being victims of crime are analysed. Several kinds of material are considered in this study, but the primary data consist of informal, tape-recorded interviews with ten young men (17 to 21 year's old) who had been assaulted or mugged. Their accounts of their experiences are analysed using a number of constructionist, interactionist, and narrative pe

The difficulties encountered in matching an antenna to its optimal impedance are reduced with an adaptive 0.35-mu m CMOS circuit based on several switched shunt capacitors arranged in capacitor banks and on a few external series inductors. As high-quality inductors are difficult to obtain in CMOS, the inductors are placed either in an low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) substrate or is a lumped

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a valid treatment option for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The outcome of infrarenal EVAR is dependent on choosing patients with appropriate anatomy to allow for good proximal and distal seal. In the absence of an infrarenal neck of adequate length and quality, fenestrated stent-graft repair has emerged as an alternative treatment option. For the past deca

Supply chain risk management (SCRM) is of growing importance, as the vulnerability of supply chains increases. The main thrust of this article is to describe how Ericsson, after a fire at a sub-supplier, with a huge impact on Ericsson, has implemented a new organization, and new processes and tools for SCRM. The approach described tries to analyze, assess and manage risk sources along the supply c

This study investigates agglomeration effects for classical music production in a wide range of cities for a global sample of composers born between 1750 and 1899. Theory suggests a trade-off between agglomeration economies (peer effects) and diseconomies (peer crowding). I test this hypothesis using historical data on composers and employ a unique instrumental variable - a measure of birth centra

Few Quality of Life (QoL) instruments in use today were originally developed for older populations (75+). Information on their validity and reliability in this age group is sparse. The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the Life Quality Gerontological Centre Scale (LGC), a general QoL instrument designed for use among older people. A further aim was to describe and compare Q

The aim was to study the outcome of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (Basic BAT) added to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU only, for patients with mood, somatoform or personality disorders in psychiatric outpatient services. Seventy-seven patients were randomized to Basic BAT and TAU (n=38) or TAU only (n=39). Patients were assessed at baseline and after 12 sessions of Basic BAT, 3 months afte

Background. Subjects with absolute central visual field loss use. eccentric fixation and magnifying devices to utilize their residual vision. This preliminary study investigated the importance of an accurate eccentric correction of off-axis refractive errors to optimize the residual visual function for these subjects. Methods. Photorefraction using the PowerRefractor instrument was used to evaluat
