The case is reported of a 48‐year‐old man who, 26 years after treatment for a hypophyseal tumor and 11 years after the onset of bilateral gynecomastia, developed cancer of the left breast. Ten years after the first breast cancer operation a new cancer developed in his right breast. Hormonal investigation at the time of the second breast cancer operation revealed a low S‐FSH and a relative estrogen
Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process where metals are joined without melting. Heat is generated by friction between a rotating non-consumable tool and the work-piece material, and by mechanical deformation of the material. The process, invented in 1991, provides several benefits over arc welding and other fusion processes: No filler material has to be added, low energy cons
118 samples obtained by means of fine‐needle aspiration from 86 cases of non‐Hodgkin, non‐Burkitt lymphomas have been investigated cytogenetically with chromosome banding technique. If>5 times 106 cells were obtained at aspiration the success rate with the technique used was almost 70%, while if the number of cells was lower it was only about 15%. Technical aspects, and detailed cytogenetic findin
In thirty-one premenopausal patients with carcinoma of the breast the plasma prolactin was measured after mastectomy. A highly significant correlation between tumour size and plasma prolactin levels (p<0.002) was observed after adjustment for age at diagnosis and parity. At the time of the prolactin determination no clinical signs of metastatic disease were evident, suggesting that the prolactinc
Whilst the concept of jus cogens has grown increasingly more important in public international law, lawyers remain hugely divided both over what precisely confers a jus cogens status on a norm, and what this conferral implies in terms of legal consequences. In this ground-breaking book, Ulf Linderfalk clearly and succinctly explores the reasons for this divide in order to facilitate more rational
The overall metabolism in tumour cells from 36 untreated patients with non‐Hodgkin lymphoma was evaluated by direct calorimetry. For 20 patients with lymphoma of high grade malignancy the median value of heat production rate per tumour cell was 3.9 pW and for 16 patients with low grade lymphomas the corresponding value was 2.8 pW. The difference between the two morphclogical groups is significant
Thymidine labelling indices (LI) and the number of clonal chromosome aberrations were assessed in fine‐needle aspirates from enlarged lymph nodes in 22 patients with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). 11 patients had LI > 3.0 (median 8.4) and 11 others had LI < 3.0 (median 1.0). Three categories of chromosome aberration were recorded: normal karyotype, 1–5 aberrations, and ≥ 6 aberrations or multiple c
Floder och åar är viktiga källor för järn och andra näringsämnen till Östersjön. De senaste decennierna har järnkoncentrationen i svenska och finska åar ökat kraftigt, vilket skulle kunna leda till en ökad transport av järn till Östersjön. Vilken effekt detta kan ha för Östersjön beror på vad som händer med järnet när det möter det salta vattnet i Östersjön. Järn transporteras huvudsakligen i formRivers have traditionally not been considered important sources of bioavailable iron (Fe) to the marine waters, since most Fe is lost by salinity-induced aggregation and sedimentation during estuarine mixing. However, recent studies from boreal rivers found a remarkably high Fe stability, probably due to the interaction with organic matter. Recent studies have suggested that Fe speciation is a key
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are key players in N cycling in coniferous forests, and forest management such as application of wood ash can affect their functionality. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of wood ash application on ECM fungal mycelial production, capacity to retain N, diversity and community composition. In-growth mesh bags were installed in control and treated plots.
This paper reports findings from a pilot study for the research project SHARP – Shared Reading After Pain Rehabilitation. SHARP explores the feasibility and effect of Shared Reading, a group-based reading intervention, as a way to improve the quality of life for people with chronic non-cancer pain who have undergone a pain rehabilitation programme (5 weeks) at Skåne University Hospital in Sweden.
Some experimental tests were conducted to reveal the enhancement of the ferrofluid heat transfer under a permanent magnetic field. This research aims to investigate the effect of various external magnetic fields on convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid (magnetic nanofluid). Comparison of theoretical predictions and experimental data were conducted to validate the rationality o
This paper investigates the salience of speech contrasts in noise, in relation to how listening attention affects scalp-recorded cortical responses. The contrasts that were examined with consonant-vowel syllables, were place of articulation, vowel length and voice-onset time (VOT) and our analysis focuses on the correspondence between the effect of attention on the electrophysiology and the decrem
D-programmet pa LTH har en låg andel kvinnliga sökande, samtidigt som intresset för att lära sig programmera bland kvinnor tycks öka. Det finns exempel på att intresset är överväldigande stort när det anordnas programmeringsundervisning som endast är avsedd för kvinnor. Vilka ärintresserade och varför? Kan detta ge oss förslag på vad LTH kan gora för att öka mångfalden på D-programmet? Undersökni
In this work we discuss a gradient plasticity formulation which relies on the introduction of higher-order gradient contributions as additional arguments of the free energy function. These gradients can be interpreted in terms of the local geometrically necessary dislocation density. This gives rise to physically well-motivated kinematic-type hardening models in contrast to purely phenomenological
The reactions between [VO(acac)2] (acac– = acetylacetonate) and the tripodal amino bisphenols 6,6′-(((2-morpholinoethyl)azanediyl)bis(methylene))bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenol) (H2L1) and 6,6′-(((thiophen-2-ylmethyl)azanediyl)bis(methylene))bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenol) (H2L2) as well as the tetradentate amino phenol 2,2′-((3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)azanediyl)bis(ethan-1-ol) (H3L3) afford the
Combining neo-institutionalism, actor network theory, and Gabriel Tarde's sociology, Czarniawska considers the key driver of organizational change to be imitation but an imitation that rests on translation. Organizations emulate one another by translating fashionable ideas according to their understanding, traditions, needs, and means. As translation in this tradition always entails a transformati
Purpose: To describe a new time-saving threshold visual field–testing strategy—Swedish Interactive Thresholding Algorithm (SITA) Faster, which is intended to replace SITA Fast—and to report on a clinical evaluation of this new strategy. Design: Description and validity analysis for modifications applied to SITA Fast. Methods: Five centers tested 1 eye of each of 126 glaucoma and glaucoma suspect p
