Abstract Conclusion: In this physiological study subjects with Meniere's disease (MD) had high resistance to opening of the eustachian tube (ET) in three of four provocation tests. These subjects can be exposed to pressure deviations in the middle ear (ME) above their equalizing capacity. Transmission of the pressure deviations to the inner ear fluids and influence of the symptoms of MD are feasib

The objective of this study was to provide data for the design of multi-nozzle impactors giving size-fractionated samples for X-ray emission analysis and for size-distribution determinations of the α-particle activity from aerosol-particle-attached radon progenies. Different multi-nozzle impactors with laser-drilled 50–60 μm diameter nozzles designed for a cut-off diameter of about 0.05 μm were ex

The underlying basis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and the basis of its increased incidence in diabetes are unknown. We have quantified pathology in an uncompressed nerve (posterior interosseous nerve, PIN) in the forearm between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with CTS and control subjects. In an age- and gender-matched series, 26 diabetic patients with CTS and 20 non-diabetic patients with

Aim: To determine whether or not an intrauterine transmission of hepatitis A virus (HAV) occurred from an infected mother to her premature infant delivered by caesarean section. Methods: The mother and her child were tested for HAV by serology and reverse transcription PCR. Results: An outbreak of HAV infection was seen among children and a 33-year-old day-care teacher, pregnant in third trimester

New Age är bara ett av många uttryck för en bredare strömning som på senare år vuxit sig allt starkare i det senmoderna Sverige. En grundtanke är föreställningen om att människan har ett "Högre Själv"en kraft som alla kan utveckla för att utnyttja sitt liv maximalt bäst. Det talas alltså inte längre om Gud, utan andligheten uttrycks som "det högre självet", "den inre potentialen", "vem du i sannin

The influence of demographic characteristics on the perceived needs of parents in a sample of staff and parents of admitted children in a paediatric hospital in Sweden were examined as part of a project in Sweden, England, Indonesia and Australia. Over 100 parents and 100 staff responded and responses compared, including perceived importance of each of the 51 needs. Few needs were influenced by de
