Long term follow up of 16 homosexual men and 78 intravenous drug abusers who were chronic carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) showed fundamental differences between the two groups. Viral replication, expressed by the presence of hepatitis B e antigen, lasted for four years or more in 10 out of 14 (71%) of the homosexual men whereas it was not present in 43 out of 73 (59%) of the drug a

Björkgrens avhandling i praktisk teologi undersöker vad församlingsprästen Hartman ville som predikant och hur han förverkligade detta i sina predikningar. Förf. undersöker Hartmans tänkande, vilka strävanden hans predikningar speglar och deras formal-homiletiska stil. Metoden beskrivs som innehållslig textanalys. Bättre än ”drama” hade ”spänning” passat i huvudrubriken. För första gången har otry

The structures of the hydrated thallium(III) halide and pseudohalide complexes, [TlX(n)(OH2)(m)]((3-n)+), X = Cl, Br, CN, in aqueous solution have been studied by a combination of X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS), large-angle X-ray scattering (LAXS), and vibrational spectroscopic (Raman and IR) techniques including far-infrared studies of aqueous solutions and some solid phases

Several studies show that there are interactive processes between eutrophication and uptake of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in aquatic biota. The main concept is that the increased biomass and production in aquatic ecosystems, due to excess discharge of nutrients, causes a chain event that results in reduced uptake of POPs in primary producers (phytoplankton). This effect is then transferr

Objective: Explore the long-term course of schizophrenia and related disorders. Method: Naturalistic study of 225 patients initially treated with risperidone (monotherapy or in combination with other psychotropic drugs) over 5 years. Results: Stable symptomatology and side effects were observed. Clinician GAF scores were 55-61, but patients' self-ratings were higher. Clinician and patient CGI scor

Background: Different screening procedures are becoming an important part of health care. information about screening and its consequences can be difficult to both impart and understand. This study examined women's theoretical acceptance of a new screening procedure, before its introduction. Methods: A group of women (n = 823), who had made an informed choice about the form of foetal diagnosis the

Background and Purpose - Data regarding the association between blood pressure level and incidence of stroke subtype, especially primary intracerebral hemorrhage (PICH) subtypes, is sparse. This population- based study explored the relationship between blood pressure and the incidence of cerebral infarction, and PICH, with lobar and nonlobar location. Methods - Risk factors were assessed in 27 702

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Hur gatunätet ser ut och planera's i städer påverkar förutom trafikarbetet även hur bilister kör. Körbeteendet i form av körmönster, d.v.'s. hastighet's- och accelerationsprofiler, påverkar i sin tur såväl bränsleförbrukning som avgasemissionsfaktorer. En betydande del av trafiken sker inom tätorter där såväl luftkvalitet som totala utsläpp är av betydelse. ÄvThe planning and design of street networks in cities influence driving behaviour and give rise to variations in driving patterns (i.e., speed and acceleration profiles) that affect exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. The primary objective of this study has been to use real-life driving patterns to investigate how the characteristics of street networks influence fuel consumption and vehicular e

Föreliggande program utredning om erforderlig fuktforskning ur byggnadsteknisk synvinkel har utförts i samarbete mellan tre institutioner vid Tekniska Högskolan i Lund, nämligen byggnadskonstruktionslära (professor B. Adamson), byggnadsmateriallära (professor S. G. Bergström) och byggnadsteknik l (professor L. E. Nevander). Som utredningsman och sekreterare har civilingenjör L. Ahlgren, byggnadsma

Human cystatin C (HCC) inhibits papain-like cysteine proteases by a binding epitope composed of two beta-hairpin loops and the N-terminal segment. HCC is found in all body fluids and is present at a particularly high level in the cerebrospinal fluid. Oligomerization of HCC leads to amyloid deposits in brain arteries at advanced age but this pathological process is greatly accelerated with a natura

Objectives: To determine the possible differences in glycaemic index (GI) depending on ( 1) the analytical method used to calculate the 'available carbohydrate' load, that is, using carbohydrates by difference ( total carbohydrate by difference, minus dietary fibre (DF)) as available carbohydrates vs available starch basis ( total starch minus resistant starch (RS)) of a food rich in intrinsic RS

In an attempt to identify novel susceptibility genes predisposing to early-onset diabetes (EOD), we performed a genome-wide scan using 433 markers in 222 individuals (119 with diabetes) from 29 Scandinavian families with ≥2 members with onset of diabetes ≤45 years. The highest nonparametric linkage (NPL) score, 2.7 (P < 0.01), was observed on chromosome 1p (D1S473/D1S438). Six other regions on chr
