Previous studies of limestone beds of mid-Ordovician age from both Sweden and China show that the Earth saw an at least two orders of magnitude increase in the influx of extraterrestrial material approximately 470 Ma, following the disruption of an L-chondrite parent body in the asteroid belt. Recovered extraterrestrial material consists of fossil meteorites and sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: There is a lack of large contemporary studies on the management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and the prediction of mortality remains difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of perinatal factors on mortality rate in a contemporary multicenter study. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study. Twelve of 13 Scandi

BACKGROUND: Children are being infected by HIV/AIDS mainly through mother-to-child transmission. In Ethiopia currently more than 135,000 children are living with HIV/AIDS. The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of ARV uptake after birth, co-trimoxazole prophylaxis and follow up compliance, and to examine which factors are associated with the intervention outcome.METHODS: A retrospective

Today the use of mobile phones are widespread, and they are often kept in trouser pockets. As the thigh is comparatively less sensitive to vibrations, and vibrotactile sensitivity is diminished during movement, detection of vibratory mobile notications during walking is lower than in a still position. Vibrotactile detection rate is hypothesized to be dependent on gait phase. Method: 28 subjects we

Preface. The RILEM Committee TC-117 FDC -Freeze-Thaw and De-icing Resistance of Concrete:-started its workwith a first meeting that was hel d in Essen in May 1990. A second meeting was held in Brighton in November the same year. During both meetings, some differences in opinion were disc10sed concerning the effects of different externai and internai factors on the de-icing resistance and concernin

Vi bedriver forskning och utbildning med inriktning mot funktionshinder och rehabilitering. Målgrupperna är personer med funktionsnedsättningar till följd av stroke, traumatisk hjärnskada, ryggmärgsskada, post-polio och Parkinsons sjukdom samt barn, ungdomar och vuxna med långvarig smärta. Forskargruppen leds av en professor i rehabiliteringsmedicin. I gruppen ingår sju disputerade forskare och seWe conduct research and education with a focus on disability and rehabilitation. The target groups are individuals with neurologic disabilities due to stroke, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injury, post-polio and Parkinson’s disease, and children, adolescents and adults with persistent pain. The research group is led by a Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine and includes seven researchers w

Previous research suggests that children develop an increasing concern with fairness over the course of development. Research with adults suggests that the concern with fairness has at least two distinct components: a desire to be fair but also a desire to signal to others that they are fair. We explore whether children’s developing concern with behaving fairly towards others may in part reflect a

Palliativt Utvecklingscentrum är en del av Lunds universitet och Region Skåne. Vi arbetar med forskning, utveckling och utbildning inom palliativ vård med det övergripande målet att vården av människor i livets slutskede ska ha högsta möjliga prioritet och kvalitet. Detta oavsett sjukdom och var man vårdas.The Institute for Palliative Care is part of Lund University and Region Skåne. We work with research, development and education in palliative care. The overall goal being that the care of people at the end of life should have the highest possible priority and quality, regardless of the type of illness and where the person is cared for.

Cerebellar growth is impeded following very preterm birth in human infants and the observed reduction in cerebellar volume is associated with neurodevelopmental impairment. Decreased levels of circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are associated with decreased cerebellar volume. The relationship between preterm birth, circulating IGF-1, and key cell populations supporting cerebellar pro

FYHR A. & AKSELSSON R. (2012) European Journal of Cancer Care Characteristics of medication errors with parenteral cytotoxic drugs Errors involving cytotoxic drugs have the potential of being fatal and should therefore be prevented. The objective of this article is to identify the characteristics of medication errors involving parenteral cytotoxic drugs in Sweden. A total of 60 cases reported

Background and purpose: Motion compensation with MLC tracking was tested for inversely optimized arc radiotherapy with special attention to the impact of the size of the target displacements and the angle of the leaf trajectory. Materials and methods: An MLC-tracking algorithm was used to adjust the MLC positions according to the target movements using information from an optical real-time positio
