Silverhoards from the Viking Age found in Scania, Halland and Blekinge. Catalogue with tables showing the entire record. Descriptions of the objects in the hoards and dating.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a polygenic and multifactorial disease. Many complex immunological and genetic interactions are involved in the final out come of the clinical disease. To understand the various disease pathways operating during the disease course, we need many different animal models. Collagen induced arthritis (CIA) is one of the widely used animal models sharing many pathological an

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term results of a prospective, longitudinal case series of untreated, traumatic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears found in displaced distal radial fractures. METHODS: Between 1995 and 1997, 51 patients (24 men, 27 women; age, 20-57 y) with a displaced distal radius fracture had wrist arthroscopy to identify associated injuries. Forty-three patients had c

In this chapter, the advantages and disadvantages of 3D fast spin echo (FSE) pCASL as a measure of brain tumor perfusion are reviewed. In addition, we compare pCASL with other perfusion techniques and discuss future ASL approaches. A prospective study of 28 patients with contrast-enhancing brain tumors was performed at 3 T using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI and pCASL. The visual quali

This book chapter examines the rapidly expansion of various neospiritual and science-like practices currently mobilized in late modern Swedish pursuits of identity, meaning, and health. The focus is on the emergence and marketing of new entrepreneurs who have established themselves as “therapists” or “coaches”, promoting personal development, and how they organize their own systems of training and

The article analyses Ukrainian media discourse on the Ukrainian-Russian contact variety surzhyk.

Discussion on social media and their contribution to democratisation is dominated by scholarship on the use of social media in mobilizing and coordinating grassroots opposition in contentious movements (e.g., the Arab Spring). Such approach, however, fails to recognize the power dynamics underlying everyday uses of social media. To fill this gap, this article provides one of the first studies on t

This Editorial highlights a study published in the current issue of Journal of Neurochemistry by Dobson et al. (), investigating whether the immunomodulatory agent, laquinimod exerts an immunomodulatory effect on isolated Huntington´s disease monocytes. In Huntington´s disease (HD) a central immune activation is mirrored in the periphery by a low-grade immune response and monocytes isolated from H

Joint cartilage consists of cells embedded in a matrix of fibrous collagen within a concentrated water-proteoglycan gel. The integrity of this matrix is crucial for the biomechanical properties of the joint cartilage. The different components of the matrix are synthesized and degraded by the cartilage cells, a process regulated by the amount of mechanical stress applied to the chondrocytes as well

Immunization strategies against commensal bacterial pathogens have long focused on eradicating asymptomatic carriage as well as disease, resulting in changes in the colonizing microflora with unknown future consequences. Additionally, current vaccines are not easily adaptable to sequence diversity and immune evasion. Here, we present a "smart" vaccine that leverages our current understanding of di

According to Ruth Chang the three standard positive value relations: “better than”, “worse than” and “equally good” do not fully exhaust the conceptual space for positive value relations. According to her, there is room for a fourth positive value relation, which she calls “parity”. Her argument for parity comes in three parts. First, she argues that there are items that are not related by the sta
