OBJECTIVE. To define the histological lesions in the placenta associated with abnormal blood flow findings and to evaluate their possible clinical significance. DESIGN. A prospective blind study. SETTING. A clinical study at a teaching hospital, Malmo General Hospital, University of Lund, Sweden, morphological studies of placentas being performed at the Institute of Pathology, University of Lausan

The helicity dependence of the (γ) over right arrow(p) over right arrow -+ peta reaction has been measured for the first time at a center-of-mass angle theta(eta)*= 70degrees in the photon energy range from 780 MeV to 790 MeV. The experiment, performed at the Mainz microtron MAMI, used a 4pi-detector system, a circularly polarized, tagged photon beam. and a longitudinally polarized frozen-spin tar

Lågdos-DT (datortomografi) av näsans bihålor vid rinosinuit ger en god visualisering av samtliga näsans bihålor, även av etmoidal-, sfenoidal- och frontalsinus, där konventionell röntgenundersökning är förenad med stor osäkerhet. Lågdos-DT ger värdefull tilläggsinformation om både anatomi och patologiska förändringar, som inte kan erhållas med konventionell röntgenundersökning. Stråldosen till pat

During recent years the nuclear decay modes of discrete prompt proton and a-particle emission from (super)deformed high-spin states have been discovered in nuclei in the Vicinity of Ni-56. The latest news from experiments performed at EUROBALL and GAMMASPHERE regarding these decays are presented and discussed.

The relationship between defensive strategies as measured by the Meta-Contrast Technique (MCT) and self-reported trait anxiety, trait aggression and defensiveness, as measured by the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP), was investigated in 83 healthy men. Further aims of the study were to describe and document how a healthy and demographically well defined group of subjects responded to the MCT

We have investigated pre-travel advice, behaviour, chemoprophylaxis and diagnostic delay in travellers returning to Sweden with falciparum malaria. Questionnaires were distributed to patients having been notified with falciparum malaria from 1994 to 2001. Of 408 notified patients, 237 (58%) returned the questionnaires; 62% were males and 43% above the age of 45 y. Africa was the travel destination

Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates of serotypes 1, 4, 6B, 7F, 14, and 19F belonging to clonal types with known invasive disease potential in humans were used to infect C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. Most isolates were able to colonize the nasopharynx for 7 days. One serotype 19F isolate of the clonal type ST162 had higher bacterial numbers than other isolates and clonal types of the same serotype. Seroty

Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) has successfully been used in immunotherapy of different experimental tumours. Mechanistically, IFN-gamma has extensive effects on the immune system including release of nitric oxide (NO) by upregulation of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). NO has putative immunosuppressive effects but could also play a role in killing of tumour cells. Therefore, the aim of t
