Background: Contact allergy to and allergic contact dermatitis from methyldibromoglutaronitrile (MDBGN) have been frequently reported since the 1990s. Objective: This study was initiated to help determine the optimal test preparation for MDBGN and to help determine the clinical relevance of such a contact allergy. Method. In 38 patients with positive (32 patients) or doubtful (6 patients) patch-te

Seventeen patients were given DTIC, 200 mg/m2/day in five‐day courses every four to six weeks. In four patients (stage II) treated on an adjuvant basis, tumor recurrence has been verified in three. Four of the palliatively treated patients were also given DTIC by regional intra‐arterial infusion with minimal positive tumor effect and minimal toxicity. 5‐S‐cysteinyldopa excretion in urine was check

Background: Non-motor symptoms (NMS) substantially impair quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, yet treatment gaps persist. Guideline adherence for NMS management remains poorly characterised. Also, reliable symptom monitoring tools are needed: the Parkinson’s KinetiGraph (PKG) for sleep assessment and the Home Diary (HD) for motor fluctuations both require further validation.Aims:

The failure of many countries in the Global South to catch up economically to the advanced economies of the Global North has long been a topic of interest to economic historians and development economists. Traditionally, researchers focused their attention on the question of growth –how can a country achieve growth to catch up? In recent years, however, a new research programme has begun to shift

The arteriovenous anastomoses (AVAs) in the distal parts of the extremities play a significant role in the heat exchange with the environment. The aim of the study was to examine the thermal responses to whole-body cooling in air, and especially the behaviour of finger skin temperature (Tf, rich in AVAs). Eight young men sat in minimal clothing at 32°C air temperature (Ta), which was then lowered

RDW is a new and easily available risk marker for adverse cardiovascular outcomes and we agree that this may encourage a wider use in clinical practice. As pointed out by Balta et al [2], the underlying causal links are unclear. The causal links could hypothetically involve some of the factors mentioned by Balta et al [2], but also properties of the red cells per se. This article is protected by c

Abstract in UndeterminedThis study examined the sterol compositions of 102 dinoflagellates using clustering and cluster validation techniques, as a means of determining the relatedness of the organisms. In addition, dinoflagellate sterol-based relationships were compared statistically to 18S rDNA-based phylogenetic relationships using the Mantel test. Our results indicated that the examined dinofl

Popular Abstract in Swedish Effekter av olika blodvolymersättningsmedel och blodförgiftning på genomblödning och utbyte över blodkärlen Vid en rad svåra sjukdomar, som blodförgiftning (sepsis) och omfattande skador på kroppen, kan olika inflammatoriska system aktiveras. Inflammation kan vara till nytta, till exempel när infektioner bekämpas och sår läker, men också till skada. Vid inflammation ökaChanges in vascular permeability can immensely change plasma volume and affect the degree of oedema in the body. In diseases with an increased vascular permeability, adequate fluid therapy is of considerable importance to prevent hypovolaemia. Mechanisms behind differences in effectiveness of various plasma volume expanders to restore a low plasma volume and a compromised microcirculation are stil

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att styra, övervaka och utvärdera processer inom processindustrin, samlas stora mängder data från mätgivare i olika delar av processen. Den tekniska utvecklingen inom mätteknik- och datorområdet har gjort det möjligt att mäta många olika storheter. Inom processindustrin kan antalet vara mycket stort; hundratals och ibland tusentals värden loggas kontinuerligt med inIn this work, various aspects of multivariate monitoring and control of wastewater treatment operation are discussed. A number of important difficulties face operators and process engineers when handling online measurements from wastewater treatment processes. These include, for instance, a high number of correlated measurement variables, non-stationarities, nonlinearities and multiscale process b

This paper reviews evidence from human physiology as to which foods may have been typically consumed by the hominin ancestral lineage up to the advent of anatomically modern humans. Considerable evidence suggests that many common diseases can be prevented by hunter-gatherer diets. Apparently, human nutritional metabolism is not perfectly fine-tuned for recently introduced staple foods, such as cer

Popular Abstract in English Popular science Microbial cells are small and difficult to handle in industrial processes, especially if they are to be reused subsequent batches. In order to make them easier to handle, these cells can be attached to a solid support, by so-called immobilization. This provides particles of sizes that are easy to filter and reuse. However, immobilization is associated wiAbstract Due to the finite nature of fossil resources and their environmental impact, such as greenhouse gases and climate change, the bio-based production of chemicals, materials and fuels is the subject of extensive research in industrial biotechnology. Biotransformation and fermentation are considered to be mild, “green” processes that make use of effective and reliable biocatalysts to provide

Increased tissue stiffness is a classic characteristic of solid tumors. One of the major contributing factors is increased density of collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Here, we investigate how cancer cells biomechanically interact with and respond to the stiffness of the ECM. Probing the adaptability of cancer cells to altered ECM stiffness using optical tweezers based micro-rheol

Nanostructures are found everywhere in our environment, of either natural oranthropogenic origin. Volcanoes emit them, breakdown of plastic releases them, andthey are even produced in candlelight. Designed nanostructures are used in sunscreen,food products, electronics and many more readily available products. Still, there are alot of things we do not know about their behavior. To call them miniscThis thesis presents the results of studies done on various biomolecules and their interactions with nanomaterials. The biomolecule sources are everything from purified, single proteins to the complicated mixture of blood serum and cell culture media. Similarly, the nanomaterial sources vary from spherical titanium dioxide, gold, and polystyrene nanoparticles to novel nanowires of gallium arsenide

Aims: To investigate whether contact allergy to oxidised (ox.) geraniol, geraniol, geranial, neral and citral is overrepresented in individuals with photocontact allergy to ketoprofen. Methods: The contact allergy rates to ox. geraniol, ger
