(2004:5) Löser immaterialrättskonsumtion och tvångslicenser aidsproblem i världens länder? Denna artikel är en direkt uppföljning av 2003 års föreläsning för Nordisk Immaterialrättsförening och granskar om dagens immaterialrättssystem förhindrar att u-ländernas hälsokris kan lösas. Den immaterialrättsliga konsumtionen kommer i förgrunden, men möjligheterna att använda andra immaterialrättsliga me
A Cochrane metaanalysis and a study performed on children have recently confirmed that therapeutic hypothermia does not improve outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is not comparable to a short episode of global ischemia, where therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome. The difference may be explained by the fact that hypothermia-induced stress after a traumatic b
Abstract Aims Myelinated nerve fibre pathology has been demonstrated at wrist level in diabetic patients. We examined if quantification of intra-epidermal nerve fibre density (IENFD) in hairy and glabrous skin at wrist level could detect signs of subclinical small nerve fibre neuropathy. Methods In 35 diabetic patients who were age and gender matched with 31 non-diabetic patients, punch biopsies w
The Middle Ages in archaeological perspective: Review of Øystein Ekrolls teaching book on medieval archaeology in Norway, "Ei anna historie - norsk mellomalder i arkeologisk lys" (Trondheim 2006).
AIMS: To assess the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a self-administered questionnaire created to screen for symptoms of postpartum depression in the community, from an epidemiological and ethical perspective. Screening, as the practice of investigating apparently healthy individuals to detect unrecognised disease or its precursors, has interpretation problems and is complicated by del
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen tar sin utgångspunkt i de omfattande ökningarna i övervikt och fetma som har observerats, och blivit ett stort folkhälsoproblem, runtom i världen, och som har kommit att benämnas fetma-epidemi. Det inledande kapitlet motiverar att fetma studeras från ekonomiska perspektiv och ger en bakgrund till de efterföljande kapitlen. Därefter följer fyra fristThis thesis takes its starting point in the large spread and rise in obesity prevalence that have been observed around the world, making obesity an increasing public health concern. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter, which justifies the study of obesity from economic perspectives and puts the subsequent studies in context, and four studies that address obesity from different economic
Amplification of chromosomal region 11q13, containing the cell cycle regulatory gene CCND1, is frequently found in breast cancer and other malignancies. It is associated with the favourable oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumour phenotype, but also with poor prognosis and treatment failure. 11q13 spans almost 14 Mb and contains more than 200 genes and is affected by various patterns of cop
Microglia respond to focal cerebral ischemia by increasing their production of the neuromodulatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor, which exists both as membrane-anchored tumor necrosis factor and as cleaved soluble tumor necrosis factor forms. We previously demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor knockout mice display increased lesion volume after focal cerebral ischemia, suggesting that tumor nec
