Genetic characterisation (SSU rRNA genotyping) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) imaging of individual tests were used in tandem to determine the modern species richness of the foraminiferal family Elphidiidae (Elphidium, Haynesina and related genera) across the Northeast Atlantic shelf biomes. Specimens were collected at 25 locations from the High Arctic to Iberia, and a total of 1013 indivi

The warming trend at the end of the last glacial was disrupted by rapid cooling clearly identified in Greenland (Greenland Stadial 1 or GS-1) and Europe (Younger Dryas Stadial or YD). This reversal to glacial-like conditions is one of the best known examples of abrupt change but the exact timing and global spatial extent remain uncertain. Whilst the wider Atlantic region has a network of high-reso

Improving product durability and reparability can save natural resources and money for consumers but may not always be in the best interest of all manufacturers. With the emergence of the circular economy as an important policy objective in the European Union (EU), there is renewed interest in policies to promote durability and address planned obsolescence. Different legislative approaches are cur

Five cases are reported of children with gallstones diagnosed by ultrasound during their first 7 months of life. Of the four with symptomatic gallstones, one subsequently developed vitamin K deficiency syndrome with profuse bleedings. The children, who belonged to a defined population, were all diagnosed within an 18-month span, suggesting the frequency of early gallstone formation to be higher th

A 4-year-old mentally retarded girl had congenital depigmentations of ventrolateral parts of the chest, abdomen, and legs. She also showed dysmorphic features of the head, thorax, and extremities, a pigmented ring in both irises, and a hernia of the left obliquus muscle. Cytogenetic investigations revealed deletion of chromosome 4 for the long arm segment q12-q21. The typical depigmentations, repo

Ten haemophilia centres in northern Europe have pooled data on 202 haemophilic children who were infected with HIV between 1979 and 1986. All cases were under 16 years of age on 1 July 1985. The age at infection ranged from 1-15 years. Thirty-seven cases (18%) had progressed to AIDS by 1 July 1991 and 15 of these have died. Persistent generalised lymphadenopathy has been noted in 102 patients of w

Application of the faster than Nyquist signaling method to the upcoming fifth generation wireless system

The series comprised 49 Swedish patients with severe haemophilia G [belonging to 49 families (21 with known and 28 with sporadic haemophilia)l, of whom 12 had developed F.VIII inhibitors. Using Southern blotting, 45% (22/49) were found to have inversions, i.e., intrachromosomal rearrangements of the tip of the X chromosome. Twenty patients had one or the other of the two variants of inversions rec

The nature of the mutation in the factor IX gene is an important factor in determining whether a patient with hemophilia B will develop an inhibitor. In a series of 62 Swedish families with hemophilia B, including 30 with the severe form, approximately one third of the families exhibiting deletions or nonsense mutations contained one member who developed an inhibitor. The risk for inhibitor develo

Every child with severe or moderate haemophilia A or B, born in Sweden during the period 1970-1990, was traced in the national haemophilia register, all 117 case records being surveyed for mode of delivery and perinatal complications. Of the 117 deliveries. 13 were by caesarean section and the remaining 104 vaginal. Of the 13 caesarean sections, 2 were performed because the woman was a haemophilia

Methods for energy and bandwidth efficient coded digital communication, including pulse design, non-orthogonal signaling methods, and the faster than Nyquist signaling method.

Three independent cases of chronic haemolytic anaemia in Sweden have recently been demonstrated to be due to the unstable haemoglobin variant Hb Koln. The patients, all of whom have partially compensated chronic haemolytic anaemia, presented with aggravated haemolysis during acute infections in childhood. In one case, acute B19 parvovirus infection induced an aplastic crisis. The substitutions all

First text in bandwidth-efficient digital coded communication. Introduced the method of continuous phase modulation (CPM) coding, with full treatment of spectrum, minimum distance, trasnmitters and receivers.

Genotype assessment based on direct identification of the pathogenic mutation in a chorionic villi sample obtained in the 11-12th gestational week is the most reliable method for prenatal diagnosis and should be used if available. Genetic linkage studies of polymorphisms should be the second choice in the assessment of carriers and in prenatal diagnosis. Carriers of haemophilia should be offered a
