(ii) Nerve injuries

A peripheral nerve can be injured in different ways, varying from a simple nerve compression, a complete transection or laceration and also as traction lesions such as brachial plexus injuries (including avulsion of spinal nerve roots). A thorough history and examination of the patient is crucial to make a correct diagnosis of the lesion, so that the correct treatment can be initiated immediately.

Hunden under forntiden : nära kompanjoner i livet och döden

Vi berättar om ett flertal fynd av riktigt gamla hundar från Europa och Asien samt presenterar några av våra svenska exempel. Vi utnyttjar kunskaper från arkeologi och osteologi (läran om skelettet) och tolkar förhållandet mellan hund och människa från allra äldsta stenålder. Vi beskriver också vad som generellt sker med en djurart fysiskt när den tämjs och anpassar sig till ett liv med oss männis

Adsorption of methanol on Ni3Al(111) and NiAl(110): A high resolution PES study

The adsorption of methanol on Ni3Al(1 1 1) and NiAl(1 1 0) has been studied using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HR-PES) and density functional theory (DFT). Both methanol and methoxy are formed on these surfaces after the initial methanol exposure at low temperatures. Heating to 200 K leads to further formation of methoxy. On NiAl(1 1 0) two different methoxy species are observed whe

Applicability of Parallel Plate Avalanche Counters to Spontaneous Fission from Cf-252

The construction and performance of the parallel plate avalanche counters (PPACs) using a spontaneous fission source Cf-252 is described in this paper. The parallel plate circular electrodes are made of aluminum foils having a thickness less than ten microns. After fabrication, the detectors and the source are mounted inside a reaction chamber, the source between the two detectors. A low pressure

Från Spadarvet till Kokapell: Jordbruk och skogsbruk i konsten

I artikeln görs en översikt över jordbrukets och skogsbrukets närvaro i konsten i Sverige under 1900-talet. Den innehåller också analyser och diskussioner rörande hur, när och varför det agrara motivet är närvarande alternativt frånvarande i konsten under perioden.

Low elastin content of carotid plaques is associated with increased risk of ipsilateral stroke.

Atherosclerotic plaques with a low content of connective tissue proteins are believed to have an increased risk of rupture and to give rise to clinical events. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the content of elastin, collagen and of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -1, -3, -9 and -12 in plaques removed at surgery can be associated with the occurrence of ipsilateral symptoms.

Continuous DOPA synthesis from a single AAV: dosing and efficacy in models of Parkinson's disease.

We used a single adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector co-expressing tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1) to investigate the relationship between vector dose, and the magnitude and rate of recovery in hemi-parkinsonian rats. Intrastriatal injections of >1E10 genomic copies (gc) of TH-GCH1 vector resulted in complete recovery in drug-naïve behavior tests. Lower vector dose gave p

Impact of dual temperature profile in dilute acid hydrolysis of spruce for ethanol production.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The two-step dilute acid hydrolysis (DAH) of softwood is costly in energy demands and capital costs. However, it has the advantage that hydrolysis and subsequent removal of hemicellulose-derived sugars can be carried out under conditions of low severity, resulting in a reduction in the level of sugar degradation products during the more severe subsequent steps of cellulose hy

Extensive Gamma-ray Spectroscopy of Normally and Superdeformed Structures in 61Cu

A largely extended experimental knowledge of the Cu-61(29)32 nucleus has been obtained from three experiments. Excited states in Cu-61 were produced via the fusion-evaporation reaction Si-28(Ar-36, 3p)Cu-61. In addition to the Ge array GAMMASPHERE, neutron and charged-particle detectors placed around the target position were used for high-performance particle spectroscopy. The constructed level sc

Coordinates and 2MASS and OGLE identifications for all stars in Arp's 1965 finding chart for Baade's Window

Aims. We seek to provide 2MASS and OGLE identifications and coordinates for all stars in the finding chart published by Arp (1965, ApJ, 141, 43). This chart covers the low extinction area around NGC 6522, also known as Baade's window, at coordinates (l, b) = (1.02, -3.92). Methods. A cross correlation, using numerical techniques, was performed between a scan of the original finding chart from Arp

Magnetic phases of one-dimensional lattices with 2-4 fermions per site

We study the spectral and magnetic properties of one-dimensional lattices filled with 2-4 fermions (with spin-1/2) per lattice site. We use a generalized Hubbard model that takes into account all the interactions on a lattice site, and solve the many-particle problem by exact diagonalization. We find an intriguing magnetic phase diagram which includes ferromagnetism, spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromag

Jewish Thought, Utopia and Revolution

In respons to the grim realities of the present world, Jewish thought has not tended to retreat into eschatological fantasy, but rather to project utopian visions precisely onto the present moment, envisioning redemptions that are concrete, immanent, and necessarily political in nature. The purpose of this book is to contribute to the deeper understanding of the relationship between Jewish thought

Drugs prescribed by general practitioners according to age, gender and socioeconomic status after adjustment for multimorbidity level

Background: Age, gender and socioeconomic status have been shown to be associated with the use of prescription drugs, even after adjustment for multimorbidity. General practitioners have a holistic and patient-centred perspective and our hypothesis is that this may reflect on the prescription of drugs. In Sweden the patient may seek secondary care without a letter of referral and the liability of

History Reborn inFree Competition: The Czech and Slovak Post-communist Transitions and Their Dominant Historical Narratives Two of the four historical narratives presented here, the Czech national-liberal narrative and the Slovak national-European narrative, imbue Czech and Slovak history with national and democratic meaning, by using history to legitimize future aims in these areas. The two rema

Streptococci and Platelets - A Study of Host-Pathogen Interaction Dynamics

Invasive infections remains one of the leading causes of death due to infections over the world, and efficient treatment remains elusive. One of the major causes of sepsis and other invasive infections is pathogenic streptococci that cause a wide range of clinical manifestations in humans. Group A and group G streptococci have both been shown to cause both infections of milder ranges as well as se

Fibrin binds to collagen and provides a bridge for alpha V beta 3 integrin-dependent contraction of collagen gels

The functional significance of fibrin deposits typically seen in inflammatory lesions, carcinomas and in healing wounds is not fully understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that fibrinogen/fibrin specifically bound to native Col I (collagen type I) and used the Col I fibre network as a base to provide a functional interface matrix that connects cells to the Col I fibres through alpha V be
