Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are chronic diseases that cannot be prevented or cured. If the pathologic basis of such diseases would be known, it might be easier to develop new drugs interfering with critical pathways. Genetic analysis of animal models for autoimmune diseases can result in discovery of proteins and pathways that play a key function in pathogenesis, which ma
Historically, labor supply elasticities have been used to evaluate tax policy and predict tax revenue effects. They are likely to underestimate taxpayers' response to tax rate changes, and hence to underestimate changes in potential tax revenues, however, because they measure only how taxpayers alter hours worked. Taxpayers can also respond to tax rate changes by altering, for instance, their work
Erythrina crista-galli (Fabaceae) is used in Argentinean ethnopharmacology as anti-inflammatory medication, narcotic, desinfectant, and for the treatment of wounds. The common name of the tree is "ceibo" or coral tree. The dominating endophytes in E. crista-galli all belong to the genus Phomopsis as identified by microscopic features and the analysis of their ITS sequences. To investigate a possib
Conodont elements other than those with platform ledges along the processes have often been unrecognized or disregarded in reconstructions and phylogenetic discussions of Ordovician "platform conodont genera." The platform elements are larger than the other element types and often exhibit more rapid evolutionary changes in morphology. Nevertheless, to understand the evolution of, and relationships
Valence-band photoelectron angular distributions, measured in the photon energy range 20-150 eV, are obtained from crystalline graphite overlayers prepared by heating SiC(0001) and from a graphite natural single crystal. The dispersion of the valence bands for the overlayers agrees well with that of the single crystal. The valence electrons have binding energies, which agree with LDA calculations

The purpose of the present study was to investigate how pre-recorded fire evacuation messages should be designed and presented in order to be effective. Five different messages were tested in the study. Visitors at an IKEA store in Malmö, Sweden, evaluated all the messages. The visitors listened to one message each and were interviewed about their associations. They also filled out a questionnaire
Boken utgör fortsättningen på Klaus Scholders två inledande band (1918-34 resp. 1934). Omfånget är överväldigande (1262 sidor, enbart noterna 261 sidor). Här analyseras de olika faserna i den fortsatta kyrkokampen, evangeliskt och romersk-katolskt var för sig. Vidare behandlas bland annat den för svenska läsare bekanta Lutherakademien i Sondershausen, raslagarna och steriliseringsfrågan, men också
AIM: To develop an objective diagnostic method that facilitates detection of noncyanotic congenital heart diseases. METHODS: Heart sounds and murmurs were recorded from 60 healthy children and 173 children with noncyanotic congenital heart disease. Time intervals were measured and spectrum of the systolic murmurs analyzed. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to distinguish physiological
OBJECTIVE: The underlying mechanisms of the differences in sex distribution of patients with atrioventricular (AV) nodal re-entrant tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are poorly understood. The objective of this study was to determine potential gender differences in the electrophysiological properties of the normal AV conduction system that may be attributable to differences in sex dis
OBJECTIVES: To assess endothelial function and vascular mechanical properties in normotensive pregnant women with high resistance in the uteroplacental circulation. DESIGN: Cross-sectional prospective study. SETTING: Doppler ultrasound laboratory at university department of obstetrics and gynaecology referral centre for high risk pregnancies. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-two caucasian normotensive pregnant
We report a case of a large, deep-seated, diagnostically difficult angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma. The neoplastic cells were positive for vimentin, calponin, CD99, and, focally, for desmin and contained intertwining cytoplasmic processes joined by desmosomelike junctions. Fusion of codon 175 of the FUS gene to codon 110 of the ATF1 gene was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reac
The variation in dietary exposure to acrylamide (AA) has been studied through measurement of hemoglobin adduct levels from AA, as a measurement of internal dose, in a sample from the blood bank of the Malmo Diet and Cancer Cohort (n = 28,098). The blood donors are well characterised with regard to their food habits, and 142 individuals were selected to obtain highest possible variation in the addu
Under de senaste femtio åren har den katolska kyrkans ställning i Sverige radikalt förändrats. Fortfarande i början av 1960-talet betraktades katolicismen allmänt som ett hot mot det svenska samhället och mot svensk kulturell identitet, inte minst inom den svenska socialdemokratin. Idag är katolska kyrkan en accepterad del av det svenska samhället. I min artikel diskuterar jag denna förändringsproThe position of the Catholic Church in Sweden has radically changed in the last forty years. At the beginning of the 1960s, Catholicism was commonly regarded as a threat to Swedish cultural identity, not least among members of the ruling Social-Democratic Party. Today, the Catholic Church is an accepted part of Swedish society. In my article, I discuss this process ofchange and its impact on Swedi
