The purpose of the paper is to identify maternal drug use that may be associated with an increased risk for cardiac defects in the offspring. A case-control study was performed with cases (cardiovascular defects without known chromosome anomalies) being identified from three Swedish health registers (n = 5015) and controls being all infants born in Sweden during the period 1 July 1995-2001 (n = 57
PURPOSE: To evaluate patency and clinical outcome in patients treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis and stent placement for acute extensive thrombosis affecting the iliocaval segment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: During a 10-year period (1994-2005), 37 patients with 44 limbs (26 female, median age 31 years) with acute extensive venous thrombosis affecting the iliocaval segment were treated with ca
The aim of this work was to study the leaching of hazardous substances in additives and admixtures that are commonly contained in concrete. Time-dependent leaching has been analyzed for three types of metal containing concretes: with ordinary Portland cement (OPC), fly ash, and slag. The concretes had uniform leaching patterns, clearly above detection limits. The prolonged diffusion test of 1,700

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är den största enskilda orsaken till en för tidig död i västvärlden. För att öka kunskapen om dessa sjukdomar är det viktigt att finna mätmetoder, gärna icke-invasiva, som kan användas för att studera tidiga yttringar av hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Förändringar av de mekaniska egenskaperna i artärerna kan vara en sådan tidig yttring. För att få etCardiovascular diseases constitute the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western World. To increase our knowledge of cardiovascular diseases, it is important to find methods, preferably non-invasive ones, to study very early manifestations of vascular disease. Changes in the mechanical properties of the arteries can be an early manifestation of vascular disease. Further, changes in the

This study examines the motif of the Fallen World in Coleridge’s major poems The Ancient Mariner, Christabel and Kubla Khan . The use of Milton’s Paradise Lost as an intertextual foil throughout allows themes and metaphors inherent in the Fallen World motif to emerge in Coleridge’s poetry. A Fall presupposes a standard from which one has been separated downwards. Primarily, it is understood as man
We have identified and characterised a cluster of six TRIM-B30.2 genes flanking the chicken BF/ BL region of the B complex. The TRIM-B30.2 proteins are a subgroup of the TRIM protein family containing the tripartite motif ( TRIM), consisting of a RING domain, a B-box and a coiled coil region, and a B30.2-like domain. In humans, a cluster of seven TRIM- B30.2 genes has been characterised within the
Background: Immunization programmes are ethically defensible and society has a significant role to play in providing vaccination against measles and safeguarding herd immunity to optimize its individuals' capabilities. Since preventive actions interfere with individuals who consider themselves as healthy, public health strategies - as distinct from advice in a clinical consultation - require somet
