In Nazi Germany 1933-1945 the medical profession played an important role, not only within the health sector but also for ideological purposes. Some physicians committed criminal acts during the war, for example in concentration camps, and where later put on trial at the Nuremberg Trials in 1946-1947, some of them also sentenced to death. What is little known outside Germany is the existence of a

The aim of this work was to develop a pharmacokinetic model for the analysis of the pharmacokinetics of (111)Inlabeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in B-cell lymphoma patients and to evaluate the model's ability to predict a subsequent radioimmunotherapy by (90)Y-labeled mAbs. Data from quantified scintillation camera images and blood samples were used to fit a compartment model. The modeling incl

BACKGROUND: To investigate prospectively the patient-relevant outcome 7 years after total hip replacement (THR) for osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: 219 consecutive patients (120 women) with primary OA, mean age 71 (range 50-92) were assigned for THR. They were examined preoperatively, at 3, 6, 12 months, and at 4, 5 and 7 years postoperatively with the self-administered questionnaires SF-36 and WOMA

An important traffic engineering problem for OSPF networks is the determination of optimal link weights. Certainly, this depends on the traffic engineering objective. Regardless, often a variety of performance measures may be of interest to a network provider due to their impact on the network. In this paper, we consider different objectives and discuss how they impact the determination of the lin

Background: Relatives of people with a mental illness who live together can experience additional burdens that may require support. A Web-based tool including a psychoeducation module, a diary, and a password-protected forum was developed to support relatives of a person with depression. Objective: The objective of our study was to explore participants' use of the Web-based tool, with focus on the

To assess the role of CHCHD2 variants in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and Lewy body disease (LBD) in Caucasian populations.

There is still a need for new agents which improve upon the therapeutic index of tiotropium, the current standard of care for many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We examined in patients with COPD the efficacy of single doses of AZD9164, an M(3)-selective muscarinic antagonist, to identify an appropriate dose-range for future studies. COPD patients (n = 28) inhaled AZD9

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillväxtfaktorer påverkar signaler mellan celler i hjärnan Människors hjärnor innehåller flera miljarder hjärnceller, vilka är förutsättningen för vårt beteende, våra känslor och våra tankar. Hjärncellerna bildar kontakter, synapser, med varandra. Genom dessa överförs signaler från en cell till en annan. Varje cell kontaktar en mängd andra celler, både sådana med liknanThe neurotrophins, notably brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin 3 (NT3), modulate synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in the adult mammalian brain. Recent data suggest that neurotrophins might be mediators of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. Such plasticity is believed to be a cellular correlate for important processes like learning, but also for diseases, for

Hits from an in silico derived focused library for CRTH2 were transformed into highly selective antagonists with favorable ADME properties. Oral administration of 4-bromo-2-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl)phenoxyacetic acid (19) inhibited peribronchial eosinophilia and mucus cell hyperplasia in a mouse model of allergic asthma, supporting the therapeutic potential of this novel compound class. In

Recently substantial research has been devoted to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). One of a UAV's most demanding subsystem is vision. The vision subsystem must dynamically combine different algorithms as the UAVs goal and surrounding change. To fully utilize the available hardware, a run time system must be able to vary the quality and the size of regions the algorithms are applied to, as the numb
