OBJECTIVE: To compare costs of transurethral prostatic resection (TURP) and transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in a randomized, controlled trial. METHODS: In 70 BPH patients all costs were calculated for management, including complications and repeat treatment, during TURP or TUMT and 24-month follow-up. Clinical outcome was judged from
PURPOSE: To assess the impact of age on outcome and to analyze the projected years of life lost in patients with multiple myeloma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ten thousand five hundred forty-nine patients were evaluated; 6,996 patients were treated with conventional chemotherapy, and 3,553 patients were treated with high-dose therapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation. RESULTS: Mean observed and
Aim: The present investigation was designed to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of adolescents with asthma between the age of 16 and 21, when they are transferred from paediatric to adult care. Methods: In this prospective study, 156 teenagers (69 females) with asthma were screened employing spirometry, a histamine challenge, skin prick test for allergy and filled out the 'Liv
Completely homogeneous polyacrylamide-based gels were used for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) of drug enantiomers. Like continuous beds (also called continuous polymer rods, silica rods, monoliths) they do not require frits to support the bed, because it is covalently linked to the capillary wall. Along lifetime is an important feature of the beds. The gel matrices can be prepared in any la
Objectives: To examine the risk of putative pneumococcal infections in adult arthritis patients on different anti-rheumatic drugs immunized with heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevenar 7; PCV7) and non-vaccinated individually matched arthritis patients. Method: All individuals in a cohort of 505 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondylarthropathy (SpA) receiving different an
Amplification at the long arm of chromosome 8 occurs in a large fraction of breast and prostate cancers. To clone the target genes for this amplification, we used suppression subtraction hybridization to identify overexpressed genes in the breast cancer cell line SK-Br-3, which harbors amplification at 8q (8q21 and 8q23-q24). A differentially expressed gene identified by SSH, the p40 subunit of eu
Eyes of the hoverfly Eristalis tenax are sexually dimorphic such that males have a fronto-dorsal region of large facets. In contrast to other large flies in which large facets are associated with a decreased interommatidial angle to form a dorsal 'acute zone' of increased spatial resolution, we show that a dorsal region of large facets in males appears to form a 'bright zone' of increased light ca
The molecular relationship of placental mammals has attracted great interest in recent years. However, 2 crucial and conflicting hypotheses remain, one with respect to the position of the root of the eutherian tree and the other the relationship between the orders Rodentia, Lagomorpha (rabbits, hares), and Primates. Although most mitochondrial (mt) analyses have suggested that rodents have a basal
Aims: To examine whether the decrease in the mean breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) and the rowdy social atmosphere reported after one month remained stable in the five-month assessment. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: University bars. Participants: The five-month assessment was based on 596 students visiting student bars during ordinary pub evenings. Intervention: Bartenders (n =
The Eastern Baltic area stands out as a unique location due to the finds of Europe’s youngest dated mammoth remains (12.6–11.2 ka cal BP). Our study explores the drastic climate and landcover changes during the extinction of these gigantic herbivores at the Pleistocene/Holocene boundary. We used macrofossil analysis to determine the major contemporary terrestrial plant genera present in the area a
Roughness is a perceptual characteristic of sound that was first applied to musical consonance and dissonance, but it is increasingly recognized as a central aspect of voice quality in human and animal communication. It may be particularly important for asserting social dominance or attracting attention in urgent signals such as screams. To ensure that the results of roughness research are valid a

Children should not be exposed to unwanted chemicals in their everyday life and several organizations in Sweden are working towards reducing the amount of chemicals that exists in toys and material intended for preschools. Many municipalities are joining the project, and are now working towards the goal “toxic free preschools”. In this struggle the municipalities have an impact in their procuremen
Today’s work environment is currently undergoing radical changes and although the aware-ness of social collaboration is growing within organizations, they still struggle with the digital transformation and thereby with the integration of Enterprise Social Network (ESN). Our study aims to investigate the role of ESN within the todays’ organizations. Specifically, it intends to build on previous res
Science fiction is a genre in which anything is possible. It therefore comprises the perfect litmus test of any given culture’s prevailing hopes and fears about the future. One such source of anxiety that has been particularly conspicuous in works of fiction since the Industrial Revolution is the development of automata and other machines – specifically, whether they might eventually become strong
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka de undantag till statschefers immunitetsskydd som har uppkommit i nationell praxis. Vidare sker en jämförelse med den praxis som kommit från de internationella domstolarna. Den centrala frågan är hur de nationella domstolarna argumenterar för att göra avsteg från immunitetsskyddet. Då reglerna om Jus cogens även har stor påverkan på frågan så kommer även dess saThe paper aims to examine the exemptions to the Heads of State immunity protection that have arisen in practice. Furthermore, a comparison with the practice from the international courts will be made. The central question is how the national courts argue on how to derogate from the immunity protection. Because the rules of Jus cogens also have a major impact on the issue so too will its connection
Tidigare forskning har visat att ett överlapp i kontext påverkar minnet. Vårt minne tenderar att vara bättre när miljön vi lär oss i liknar den miljö vi testas i. Vi har också en tendens att minnas liknande information som ett enhetligt minne, vilket kallas minnesintegraion. Syftet med studien var att undersöka huruvida ett överlapp i kontext skulle öka minnesintegrering. Studien genomfördes via Previous research has shown that context overlap affects memory. Our memory tends to be better when the learning environment is similar to the test environment. We also tend to integrate related information that has been experienced in different occasions into one unified memory, called memory integration. The aim of this study was to investigate if context overlaps helps to facilitate memory inte
This thesis presents a new method for design of PI and PID controllers with the level of control signal activity taken into consideration. The main reason why the D-part is often disabled in industrial control loops is because it leads to control signal sensitivity of measurement noise. A frequently varying control signal with too high amplitude will very likely lead to actuator wear and tear. For
