Understanding spatial and temporal variability in the distribution of seabirds is fundamental for the conservation and management of marine ecosystems. In the absence of large-scale systematic survey data, the application of standard habitat modelling techniques to predict the at-sea distributions of seabirds at large spatial scales has been limited. In this study, we examine the utility of relati
An 11-year-old boy with mental retardation, malformations, and the mosaic karyotype 47,XY,+i(8p)/46,XY presented with fever, headache and petechiae. Peripheral blood WBC was 190 x 10(9)/l; and contained > 90% mature eosinophils. Cytogenetic analysis of the eosinophils revealed no aberrations except the constitutional karyotype. The patient was diagnosed as having a hypereosinophilic syndrome. Shor
Popular Abstract in Swedish En fråga om liv och hälsa Livstillfredsställelse, personlighet och mortalitet i två äldre populationer Enligt en rapport från FN (2001) kan vi under de kommande 50 åren förvänta oss att andelen äldre över 60 år kommer att fördubblas. Ny och förbättrad teknik, medicinsk kunskap och behandling har utvecklats, vilket innebär att vi i dag överlever i större utsträckning dThe aims of the present thesis were to explore and describe elderly people’s morbidity and experience of symptoms in relation to life satisfaction, personality and mortality. (I, II and III) To learn from the individuals who have high life satisfaction in spite of the fact that they have concurrent medical diagnoses and conditions. (I and III) To reason how positive factors and strengths might hel
This text deals with the interlacing of fashion and conservation of style as multiple forces in Modernity.
It is shown that the high-resolution laser photoelectron microscope withsubwavelength-spatial resolution can be used for an absolute values ofthe two-photon external photoelectric effect measurements with high (afew nm-scale) localization. The spatial distribution of light intensityin the near field is studied by observing the photoelectron projectionimages of a subwavelength nanoaperture. The ima
Improvement of cancer treatment is a major challenge of medical research. Despite the immense efforts made in the improvement of diagnosis and treatment, cancer remains a major concern and cause of morbidity and mortality. Most of the modern anti-neoplastic therapies have severe side effects, and tumor cells often develop drug resistance. There is promise in the new generation of treatments (gene
Ciprofloxacin hyperinduces interleukin-2 production in stimulated human and mouse lymphocytes. In this study, an enhanced and prolonged interleukin-2 response was also detected in polyclonally stimulated rat splenocytes in the presence of ciprofloxacin (5–80mgrg/ml) compared to control cells without any antibiotic. Ciprofloxacin was able to counteract the immunosuppressive effect of 10ng/ml cyclos

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Neuroblastom är en barntumör i nervsystemet som drabbar ungefär 14 barn i Sverige varje år. Neuroblastom uppstår under bildandet av det sympatiska nervsystemet, som är den del av nervsystemet som ansvarar för vår reaktion på fara och stress. Det sympatiska nervsystemet bildas under fosterutvecklingen och de första åren efteNeuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor derived from cells in the sympathetic nervous system. In an attempt to explain the heterogeneous clinical behavior of neuroblastoma tumors, neuroblastomas have been characterized with regard to their degree of sympathetic differentiation. Their expression of genes and proteins that regulate normal sympathetic development and cell cycle/cell death regulators was a
Recently, there has been considerable interest in the internal reforming reactions of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) using methane or natural gas via. The internal reforming and electrochemical reactions appear in the porous anode layer, and may lead to inhomogeneous temperature and gas species distributions according to the reaction kinetics. A three-dimensional calculation method has been furthe
The mechanism of activation for protein kinase B (PKB), an important target for insulin signaling, has been scarcely investigated in primary cells. In this study, we have characterized the insulin-induced phosphorylation and activation of PKB beta in primary rat adipocytes. Insulin stimulation resulted in a translocation of PKB beta from cytosol to membranes, and phosphorylation and activation of
Dyskinesias are a major complication of long-term l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) treatment in Parkinson's disease, and are believed to result from the intermittent and pulsatile supply of L-DOPA. Daily injections of L-DOPA can prime similar abnormal involuntary movements of the limb, orolingual and axial muscles in rats rendered parkinsonian by destruction of the nigrostriatal dopamine (DA)
PIP: At the University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, researchers grouped healthy nulliparous women aged 19-25 into current, former, and never users of low-dose combined oral contraceptives (OCs) to examine the effect of the OCs on the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The subjects were from two independent samples. Based on the day the blood was sampled, their
The focus of the present paper is a late posterior negative slow wave (LPN) that has frequently been reported in event-related potential (ERP) studies of memory. An overview of these studies suggests that two broad classes of experimental conditions tend to elicit this component: (a) item recognition tasks associated with enhanced action monitoring demands arising from response conflict and (b) me
