Eating disorders in Swedish female elite athletes – coaches’ knowledge and practice in identification and management

The issue of weight preoccupation and eating disorders are receiving growing interest in the sport environment. Success in some sports requires an extremely lean appearance, which may lead to pressure from coaches and parents to be thin. Other sports use weight classifications that determine in which group an athlete will compete, requiring him/her to drop several kilos before competition. The aim

Clinical features of achromatopsia in Swedish patients with defined genotypes.

Purpose: To describe the clinical phenotype, with emphasis on the electrophysiological findings, of patients with autosomal recessive rod monochromacy (RM) and defined mutations in the CNGA3/CNGB3 genes. Methods: RM patients from eight different families were included in the study. Their genotypes were determined by DNA sequencing and/or RFLP analysis of PCR-amplified genomic segments of the CNGA3

Can the degree of retrograde diastolic flow in abnormal umbilical artery flow velocity waveforms predict pregnancy outcome?

OBJECTIVE: Reverse end-diastolic flow is the most pathological type of the umbilical artery flow velocity waveform. We aimed to investigate whether additional prognostic information can be obtained from umbilical artery waveforms in cases with reverse end-diastolic flow. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Umbilical artery Doppler velocity waveforms from 44 fetuses with reverse end-diastolic flow were analyzed

Small x phenomenology: summary and status

The aim of this paper is to summarize the general status of our understanding of small-x physics. It is based on presentations and discussions at an informal meeting OIL this topic held in Lund, Sweden, in March 2001. This document also marks the founding of an informal collaboration between experimentalists and theoreticians with a special interest in small-x physics. This paper is dedicated to t

Dynamics of Energy Efficient Lighting

The paper discusses the results of a time dynamic analysis of the possible effects of government and utility sponsored energy efficiency programmes on lighting energy use in Sweden. Scenarios are developed of electricity demand and efficiency improvement, based on various types of energy performance standards and utility demand-side management (DSM) investments. The scenarios account for the dynam

Företag, regioner och internationell konkurrens : Om regionala resursers betydelse

The overall purpose of this thesis is to study regional variation in the international competitiveness (export capacity, market orientation and production aboard) of Swedish manufacturing industry, and to contribute to explaination of this variation. The explanation is sought for in differences in regional production milieu as well as in differences in localization of industrial sectors and claims

Pitfalls in the interpretation of long-term inhalation experiments

Age- and weight-matched groups of mice were enclosed in airtight chambers and exposed to clean, filtered air for 1 month. At the end of the exposure period, body, liver and spleen weights and plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity were measured. More than twice as many significant differences in these parameters occurred compared with the expected results if only random differences existed

Pristane, a non-antigenic adjuvant, induces MHC class II-restricted, arthritogenic T cells in the rat.

Pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) in rats, a model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is a T cell-dependent disease. However, pristane itself is a lipid and unable to form a stable complex with a MHC class II molecule. Therefore, the specificity and function of the T cells in PIA are as unclear as in rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we show that activated CD4+ alphabetaT cells, which target periphe

Pre-eclampsia is a potent risk factor for deterioration of retinopathy during pregnancy in Type 1 diabetic patients

The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of pregnancy on deterioration of retinopathy in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Sixty-five pregnant Type 1 diabetic women attending the University Hospital in Lund were studied retrospectively. The degree of retinopathy, and levels of HbA1c and blood pressure 12 months before, during, and 6 months after pregnancy were compared of th

Fetal ductus venosus, middle cerebral artery and umbilical artery flow responses to uterine contractions in growth-restricted human pregnancies.

Objective To explore fetal ductus venosus (DV) flow velocity changes relative to umbilical artery (UA) blood flow and brain-sparing flow (BSF) during uterine contractions. Methods Forty-five term fetuses suspected of having growth restriction were exposed to an oxytocin challenge test (OCT) with simultaneous Doppler velocimetry in the UA, middle cerebral artery (MCA) and DV. Basal BSF was defined
