Several of the ingredients in fragrance mix I (FM I) have been shown to evaporate from petrolatum preparations applied in test chambers to an extent that can be suspected to affect the patch test result.
IN 2008 AND 2009, the European Commission conducted its Pharmaceutical Sector Inquiry based on a suspicion that a slower rate of approval for new drugs may have resulted from violations of European Union competition law. The Commission issued Preliminary and Final Reports detailing the findings of the Inquiry, which did not include any findings of the sort of competition law violations originally
A finite element plane stress parameter study of the global perpendicular to grain stiffness of timber structural elements such as beams and cross ties is presented. This stiffness is affected by the size and shape of the cross section, the growth ring pattern, the stiffness properties of the wood and the boundary conditions. Various rectangular sections with concentric circular growth rings with
Biomass burning is one of the largest sources of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols globally. These emissions have a major impact on the radiative balance of the atmosphere and on air quality, and are thus of significant scientific and societal interest. Several datasets have been developed that quantify those emissions on a global grid and offered to the atmospheric modelling community. However
Background For previously untreated children with severe hemophilia A, it is unclear whether the type of factor VIII product administered and switching among products are associated with the development of clinically relevant inhibitory antibodies (inhibitor development). Methods We evaluated 574 consecutive patients with severe hemophilia A (factor VIII activity, <0.01 IU per milliliter) who were
Molecular imprinting technology allows synthesis of polymers with specific recognition ability towards target pollutants, which show potential to selectively remove Highly Toxic Organic Pollutants (HTOPs) in the presence of common organic matrices that are thousands of times more abundant than the targets. This feature article summarizes the current development of molecular imprinting for removing
Clinical evidence accumulated from hemophilic patients during prophylaxis with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) suggests that the duration of the hemostatic action of rFVIIa exceeds its predicted plasma half-life. Mechanisms involved in this outcome have not been elucidated. We have investigated in vitro the redistribution of rFVIIa in platelets from healthy donors, patients with FVII def
The lipid phase of the thylakoid membrane is mainly composed of the galalctolipids mono- and digalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG, respectively). It has been known since the late sixties that MGDG can be acylated with a third fatty acid to the galactose head group (acyl-MGDG) in plant leaf homogenates. In certain brassicaceous plants like Arabidopsis thaliana, the acyl-MGDG frequently incorp
While negative effects of human disturbance on animals living above the ground have been widely reported, few studies have considered effects on animals occupying cavities or burrows underground. It is generally assumed that, in the absence of direct visual contact, such species are less vulnerable to disturbance. Seabird colonies can support large populations of burrow- and cavity-nesting species
Slow-release strong opioids (SRSO) are indicated in patients with severe chronic pain. Side effects, lack of efficacy and risk of dependency limit their use in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to explore prescription patterns of SRSO in Swedish real-world data on patients with a diagnosis related to chronic pain (DRCP). Patient-level data were extracted from the national prescriptions
Results of a search for the electroweak associated production of charginos and next-to-lightest neutralinos, pairs of charginos or pairs of tau sleptons are presented. These processes are characterised by final states with at least two hadronically decaying tau leptons, missing transverse momentum and low jet activity. The analysis is based on an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) of proton-prot
In this letter, we report an easy and tenable way to tune the type of charge carriers in graphene, using a buried layer of AlBr3 and its derivatives on the graphene/Ir(111) interface. Upon the deposition of AlBr3 on graphene/Ir(111) and subsequent temperature-assisted intercalation of graphene/Ir(111) with atomic Br and AlBr3, pronounced hole doping of graphene is observed. The evolution of the gr
Environmental exposures, particularly infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and tobacco, are known risk factors for oral cancer. Studies in migrants may provide valuable insight into the environmental and genetic etiology of cancer. We wanted to define nasopharyngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma among immigrants in Sweden. The nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database (FCD) was used to calculate
We synthesized a new homoleptic, tris-bidentate complex [Ru(QPzH)3](2+) based on the novel biheteroaromatic, 8-(3-pyrazolyl)-quinoline ligand QPzH. The QPzH ligand was designed to reduce the distortions typically observed in complexes incorporating the 8-quinolinyl group into the ligand framework. This was indeed observed, and was also, as anticipated, found to facilitate the formation of tris-hom
The adsorption of glucose and polysaccharides onto solid surfaces is important in several areas of science and engineering including soil chemistry and mineral processing. In this work we have studied the adsorption of D-glucose at the water-goethite (alpha-FeOOH) interface as a function of pH using batch adsorption measurements and a simultaneous infrared and potentiometric technique. Molecular o
Global public-private partnerships for sustainable development have been framed as new instruments that can increase the democratic credentials and effectiveness of global governance. This article revisits 10 years of scholarship and practice of the 348 Johannesburg partnerships, adopted at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development and reaffirmed at the UN Rio+20 summit in 2012.
