The presence of a paraffin bolus intravesically for 1 or 4 weeks was accompanied by an approximate three-fold increase in bladder weight. A supersensitivity to methacholine was demonstrated in these hypertrophied bladders at 1 week but not at 4 weeks. At the earlier time of observation, the contractile responses in vitro to nerve stimulation were reduced, while at the later time of observation the
We followed 11 patients 3-15 years after a cemented mega total hip replacement for a proximal femoral bone tumor. 7/8 survivors had good function and only occasional pain. 1 hip had been revised because of deep infection and in 1 case the cup had been exchanged because of aseptic loosening. 2 patients had been operated on because of local recurrence of the tumor. At follow-up, 1 patient had radiog
Microsomal membrane preparations from the immature cotyledons of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) catalysed the interconversion of the neutral lipids, mono-, di-, and triacylglycerol. Membranes were incubated with neutral lipid substrates, 14C-labelled either in the acyl or glycerol moiety, and the incorporation of radioactivity into other complex lipids determined. It was clear that diacylglycero
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling presenterar en teori om hur utforskande och hantering av verktyg kan få människor att överskrida förutfattade begränsningar. Personer med grava kognitiva funktionshinder har mycket svåra begränsningar i sina förutsättningar att delta i aktiviteter som kan skapa mål och mening och bidra till förändringar i deras liv. De har svårartade inskränkningar närThe Driving to Learn project explored possible achievements of training people with cognitive disabilities in a joystick-operated powered wheelchair utilizing the grounded theory approach. Theoretical sampling led the concomitant collection and analysis of data. During a period of 12 years, 45 participants with profound cognitive disabilities, aged 12 months to 52 years, were engaged in the projec
Hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) and methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) are highly allergenic compounds used in the chemical industry. The aim of this study was to characterize the protein adducts in erythrocytes following exposure to HHPA and MHHPA. Blood and urine samples were obtained from 51 HHPA- and MHHPA-exposed workers. Erythrocytic proteins from HHPA- and MHHPA-exposed workers we
Heating of 1'-(N-substituted carbamoyl)methylspiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-[2H]indoles] with potassium hydroxide in ethanol yields diastereomeric 5a,13-methano-6H-1,3-benzoxazepino[3,2-a]indole-12-carboxamides. Reduction of the latter with sodium borohydride affords 1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-2-hydroxyaryl-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole-3-carboxamides .
We consider distributed deterministic broadcasting in synchronous radio networks. A node receives a message in a given round if and only if exactly one of its neighbors transmits. The source message has to reach all nodes. We assume that nodes do not know the network topology or even their immediate neighborhood. (Such networks are called ad hoc.) We are concerned with two efficiency measures of b
We analyze the higher-twist effects and the SU(3)-flavor symmetry breaking in the correlation functions used to calculate form factors of pseudoscalar mesons in the QCD light-cone sum rule approach. It is shown that the Ward identities for these correlation functions yield relations between twist-4 two-and three-particle distribution amplitudes. In addition to the relations already obtained from t
PURPOSE: To improve preoperative staging of rectal carcinoma with MR imaging, using a double-contrast technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Imaging was performed in 12 patients before and after i.v. injection of Gd-DTPA and rectal administration of a superparamagnetic contrast medium, mainly containing magnetite. The diagnostic information was evaluated and compared with findings at surgery and histopa
To clarify the effects of solid fat and liquid oil on dough in more detail in a simpler system, gluten-starch doughs with different gluten contents were investigated. The results from rheological measurements indicate that dough with a higher starch content has less resistance to strain and dough with a lower starch content has a rubber-like structure. The effects of the physical state of nonpolar
This paper is divided in three parts: (i) the measurement of yields and decay losses of Li and Be isotopes released from a thin foil tantalum target at the CERN/ISOLDE PS-Booster; (ii) results from β-decay experiments on 12Be and 14Be, an improved half-life of 21.49(3) ms has been obtained for 12Be; (iii) the β-decay of 9C. An outline of the analysis procedure to determine the branching at high ex
The large body of recently measured energies and electromagnetic properties of high-spin states in the Z = 40-45, N = 46-50 isotopes is consistently accommodated in the shell model using empirical and schematic two-body matrix elements in the (1g(9/2), 2p(1/2)) model space. In particular, we test the purity of seniority, the effects of an enlarged model space (including the 1f(5/2), 2p(3/2) orbits
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although the incidence of and mortality from myocardial infarction (MI) have declined in most industrialized countries, incidence studies of stroke have shown less consistent trends. This study examines time trends in the incidence of stroke and case fatality rates in relation to socioeconomic circumstances and history of MI.METHODS: Stroke incidence in the city of Malmö, S
This paper investigates the L2 acquisition of clausal syntax in post-puberty learners of German and Swedish regarding V2, VP headedness and verb particle constructions. The learner data are tested against L2 theories according to which lower structural projections (VP) are acquired before higher functional projections (IP, CP), VP syntax is unproblematic (invulnerable), but where grammatical opera
This chapter uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to conceptualise changes that have occurred in the urban development in the Swedish city of Malmö. The concepts of CDA and its philosophical foundations in Critical Realism are discussed, and linked with the methodology of dialectics. The two texts Västra Hamnen – City of Tomorrow (the Western Harbour – City of Tomorrow) and Områdesfakta för Malm
