Abstract in Norwegian Bakgrunn. Fallulykker er et viktig helseproblem hos eldre. Både balansetesting og registrering av egenrapportert funksjon kan være måter å forutse fremtidige ulykker på. Materiale og metode. I en kohortstudie ble egenrapportert gangfunksjon kartlagt hos 307 tilfeldig utvalgte hjemmeboende kvinner 75 år og eldre. Kvinnene gjennomgikk også testing av balanse og gangfunksjon, oBACKGROUND: Falls represent an important health problem among the elderly. Balance testing as well as registration of self-reported balance problems may be appropriate in order to predict the risk of future falls.

Humidified gas turbines (HGT) offer the attractive possibility of increasing plant efficiency without the cost of an additional steam turbine as is the case for a combined gas-steam cycle. In addition to efficiency gains, adding steam into the combustion process reduces NOx emissions. It increases the specific heat capacity (hence, lowering possible temperature peaks) and reduces the oxygen concen

PURPOSE: To explore oxidative stress and the radical scavenger α(1)-microglobulin (A1M) in the vitreous body of human eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: Levels of carbonyl groups, a marker of oxidative stress, and A1M were measured by ELISA and RIA in 14 vitreous samples derived from patients suffering from RRD, and compared with 14 samples from macula hole (MH

I denna studie visar vi olika fördelar med vår e-learning-modell, som har „räddat” småspråket rumänska. Vi konstaterar dessutom att denna utbildningsmodell kan tillämpas på vilket annat språk som helst, för att uppnå ett flexibelt, rationellt, kostnadseffektivt och modernt lärande.
