OBJECTIVE : To identify predictors of later study withdrawal among participants active in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) for 1 year. METHODS : Multiple logistic regression was used to discriminate 3,042 children active in TEDDY for the first 3 years from 432 children who withdrew in Years 2 or 3. Predictor variables were tested in blocks-demographic, maternal lifes
In Norwegian, a weak quantifier or a scalar adjective with a positive value may combine with a definite noun and thereby form an attenuating NPI. These phrases, which I call predicative definite NPIs, are exceptional as nominal phrases, since they do not accept a prenominal definiteness marker despite their overall definiteness, and they are exceptional as attenuating NPIs, since they are templati
Regulation of the telomerase catalytic subunit, hTERT, is a complex process accomplished on many levels. Transcription of the hTERT gene has been widely studied but less is known about the implication of genetic variations. Recently, a functional T to C transition polymorphisin was indicated 1327 bp upstream the hTERT transcription starting site. The C-1327/C genotype was associated with shorter t
Histologic grade, including tubular formations, nuclear grade, and mitotic activity, is a well-documented prognostic factor in breast cancer. In comparison with other prognostic parameters, the evaluation of histologic grade is cheap and can be performed, in principle, in all cases of breast cancer. One possible disadvantage is that the evaluation may vary between different pathological department
Aims To test the association between the immunoreceptor PD-1 (PDCD1) gene and Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). This gene has been reported to be associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as well as T1DM. Methods Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PDCD1 gene was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length
Boken är utgiven med anledning av Lars-Erik Nevanders 70-årsdag och baseras på ett symposium i Lund 1991 med föredrag av personer som arbetat med Nevander under hans tid som professor i Lund. Föredragen hölls av en bred samling internationella namn och omfattar ett brett spektrum bl a klimat & fuktfrågor, betong- och murverkskonstruktioner m.m.This book is dedicated to Lars Erik Nevander, who turned 70 in the autumn of 1991. An international symposium was held in Lund in September of 1991 to which participants were specially invited who had worked with Lars Erik Nevander in one connection or another during the time of his professorship at Lund University. Invited papers presented by some 20 of the participants illurninated important d
Lenodus variabilis occurs in an interval in the lower to middle Kundan Stage which includes the Arenig-Llanvirn boundary. The lower part of its range constitutes the L. variabilis Zone, the upper part, where it co-occurs with Yangtze-placognathus crassus, making up the Y. crassus Zone. The conodont faunas of these two consecutive conodont biozones have been investigated in 14 sections from south,
