Nonfatal stroke, cardiac disease, and diabetes mellitus in hypopituitary patients on hormone replacement including growth hormone

Context: The impact of long-term GH replacement on cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus in hypopituitary patients is unknown. Objective: The incidence of nonfatal stroke and cardiac events, and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2D) and cardioprotective medication were compared between cohorts of GH-deficient (GHD) patients and population controls. Design and Pa

Ariadne at HERA and at the LHC

I describe briefly the status of the ARIADNE program implementing the Dipole Cascade Model and comment both on its performance at HERA, and the uncertainties relating to the extrapolation to LHC energies.

Time trends in incidence and prevalence of human papillomavirus type 6, 11 and 16 infections in Finland.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 is the major cause of cervical carcinoma, the incidence of which is decreasing in western countries. In Finland the incidence is, however, increasing in women aged <40 years, but possible underlying changes in HPV-16 epidemiology are unknown. To assess incidence trends of HPV infections, paired sera from a random sample of 8000 women with two pregnancies/sera wit

The multiple meaning of home as experienced by very old Swedish people

he aim of this study was to explore aspects of the meaning of home as experienced by very old single-living people in Sweden. A grounded theory approach was used, and interviews were conducted with 40 men and women aged 80-89. The findings indicate that home has a central place in the lives of very old people because it is where they live and spend so much time. The significance of the home is bas

Limiter-free third order logarithmic reconstruction

A third order conservative reconstruction, in the context of finite volume schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws, is constructed based on logarithmic functions. This logarithmic method reconstructs without the use of a limiter, any preprocessing of input data, special treatments for local extrema, or shock solutions. Also the method is local in the sense that data from only the nearest neighbor

Action spectra for enhancement of ultraweak luminescence by UV radiation (270–340 nm) in leaves of Brassica napus

Fluence-response relationships for the enhancement of ultraweak luminescence by UV radiation were determined in leaves of Brassica napus L. (cv. Ceres) when either the adaxial or abaxial leaf surface was exposed to monochromatic radiation (270–340 nm). Action spectra for both leaf surfaces were constructed from the fluence-response curves at the fluence required to obtain a doubling of the ultrawe
