A family with discordance between malignant hyperthermia susceptibility and rippling muscle disease

Rippling muscle disease (RMD) is a disorder that affects striated muscle and involves disturbances in calcium homeostasis. Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) is a potentially lethal disorder, characterized by extreme hypermetabolism and muscle rigidity/rhabdomyolysis during anesthesia with potent inhalational agents, in otherwise healthy individuals. The aim of this report was to search f

Dating Components of Human Atherosclerotic Plaques

Rationale: Atherosclerotic plaques that give rise to acute clinical symptoms are typically characterized by degradation of the connective tissue and plaque rupture. Experimental studies have shown that mechanisms to repair vulnerable lesions exist, but the rate of remodeling of human plaque tissue has not been studied. Objective: In the present study, we determined the biological age of different

Impact of IL28B-Related Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms on Liver Transient Elastography in Chronic Hepatitis C Infection

Background and Aims: Recently, several genome-wide association studies have revealed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in proximity to IL28B predict spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as well as outcome following pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy among genotype 1 infected patients. Additionally the presence of the otherwise favorable IL28B genetic variant

The role of different reproductive barriers during phenotypic divergence of isopod ecotypes.

The question of how diverging populations become separate species by restraining gene flow is a central issue in evolutionary biology. Assortative mating might emerge early during adaptive divergence, but the role of other types of reproductive barriers such as migration modification have recently received increased attention. We demonstrate that two recently diverged ecotypes of a freshwater isop

A genome-wide approach accounting for body mass index identifies genetic variants influencing fasting glycemic traits and insulin resistance

Recent genome-wide association studies have described many loci implicated in type 2 diabetes (T2D) pathophysiology and beta-cell dysfunction but have contributed little to the understanding of the genetic basis of insulin resistance. We hypothesized that genes implicated in insulin resistance pathways might be uncovered by accounting for differences in body mass index (BMI) and potential interact

Depressive Symptoms, Antidepressant Medication Use, and Insulin Resistance The PPP-Botnia Study

OBJECTIVE-Although insulin resistance (IR) may underlie associations between depressive symptoms and diabetes, previous findings have been contradictory. We examined whether depressive symptoms associate with IR and insulin secretion, and, additionally, whether antidepressant medication use may modulate such associations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A total of 4,419 individuals underwent an oral g

Acute right ventricular failure caused by concomitant coronary and pulmonary embolism: successful treatment with endovascular coronary and pulmonary thrombectomy.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is present in approximately 25% of the general population. PFO is characterized by intermittent shunting of blood from the right to the left atrium, especially in the context of increased right-sided filling pressures, with risk of paradoxical embolism. We describe a 69-year-old woman presenting with acute chest pain, severe dyspnoea, and acute inferolateral ST-segment e

Strategies and Policies for the Bioeconomy and Bio-based Economy: An Analysis of Official National Approaches

The onset of formulating strategies and policies regarding the bioeconomy can be, at least partly, attributed to the publication of the bioeconomy policy agenda by the OECD in 2009. The aim of this study is to analyse selected national strategies and policies regarding the development of a bioeconomy and to clarify similarities and differences between them. The article presents a comparative overv

Kritisk analys av skattningar av samhällets kostnader för alkoholkonsumtion – en diskussion om fem studiers metodval och resultat

The consumption of alcohol imposes costs on the society and several cost-of-illness studies have been conducted to estimate these costs. This essay presents the results from five cost-of-illness studies and examines the methodology used. The differences in results are discussed in reference to the differences in the applied methods. The results differ immensely from US$ 91 to US$ 2,433 per capita.

Status and future trends of ICA in wastewater treatment--a European perspective.

The status of instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) within the European wastewater community is reviewed and some major incentives and bottlenecks are defined. Future trends of ICA are also discussed. The information is based on a COST 624 workshop and a non-exhaustive survey with regard to ICA carried out in 13 European countries during March 2001. The level of instrumentation (type of se

Socker triggar våra belöningssystem. Sött frisätter opiater som sätter fart på sötsuget - insulin kan dämpa det

Intag av söta livsmedel har ökat i Sverige och övriga västvärlden. Typ av söta livsmedel har också ändrat karaktär; sött finns idag främst som dryck – läskkonsumtionen står i särklass över andra söta drycker. Aptitreglering för socker har beskrivits i djurmodeller, där det visats att opiatfrisättning triggar sockerintag i en uppåtgående spiral. Troligen gäller samma för människa. Sött frisätter op

Older Adults' Medication Use 6 Months Before and After Hip Fracture: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

OBJECTIVES: To study changes in use of fall-risk increasing drugs (FRIDs) and bone density-related medication in participants with hip fracture before and after the fracture and to analyze differences between five healthcare districts. DESIGN: Population-based cohort study. SETTING: Data retrieved from two national databases PARTICIPANTS: All 2,043 people with hip fracture aged 60 and older in a S

Är LOB förenlig med EKMR?

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka huruvida utformningen av 1 § 1 st. LOB är förenlig med EKMR art. 5.1 e) samt om dess tillämpning är förenlig med EKMR och hur användandet av LOB påverkas av polisens yrkeskultur. Europadomstolen har, i tre avgöranden, uppställt ett antal krav som nationell lagstiftning måste uppfylla. Jag har undersökt dessa fall och bedömt huruvida LOB är förenlig med de The purpose of this essay is to make a study of the requirements of 1§ 1 subparagraph LOB is compatible with the ECHR Art. 5.1 (e), if the application is compatible with the ECHR and if the application is affected by the police professional culture. The European Court has set a number of requirements on a national law in three cases that I have examined and assessed LOBs compatibility with. LOB co

Going Global: Cases for Relationship Marketing in Chinese Higher Education

The integration of the global economy is a phenomena that is increasingly evident in our everyday lives. Ranging from rapid economic growth in developing nations to the flow of capital across continents, globalization is affecting almost all corners of modern society. This includes the higher education sector, in which recent years have seen unprecedented growth in Asia as the economy increasingly
