Popular Abstract in Swedish Klumpfot är en medfödd missbildning av foten med karaktäristiska felställningar av fram- och bakfot, där såväl skelett som mjukdelar är engagerade. Foten är både vriden och roterad inåt med felställningar av bl.a. hälbenet, språngbenet och båtbenet, i varierande svårighetsgrad. Med en förekomst på cirka 1-2 av 1000 levande födda (i Europa) är klumpfot en av de vanligastThe purpose of the study was to develop an ultrasound (US) protocol for evaluating congenital clubfoot pathoanatomy before and during early treatment. By using 3 easily defined and reproducible US projections the talonavicular and the calcaneocuboid joints were assessed. Normal configurations of the relationships at these joints were obtained by investigating 54 healthy babies at the ages of 0, 4

Objective: Inflammation is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) and suicidal behavior. According to the ‘leaky gut hypothesis’, increased intestinal permeability may contribute to this relationship via bacterial translocation across enterocytes. We measured plasma levels of gut permeability markers, in patients with a recent suicide attempt (rSA), MDD subjects with no history of a suici

The pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the accumulation of aggregated -synuclein, which has been suggested to begin in the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we determined the capacity of the appendix to modify PD risk and influence pathogenesis. In two independent epidemiological datasets, involving more than 1.6 million individuals and over 91 million person-years, we observed that rem

: Current practice of sustainable design encompasses a range of green strategies. Modernpassive design concepts have learned to build upon climate responsive methodology that was found in andinspired from vernacular and traditional buildings. With the present energy crises in Egypt there is a currentfocus on the development of climate sensitive design building approaches. It will be the thrust of

This chapter focuses on the use of doped carbon nanomaterials in catalysis. The availability of carbon nanotubes in the ‘90s and graphene about 10Â years later, prompted the development of fundamental research and novel nanotechnologies. We discuss this topic from a point of view that links fundamental surface science to the field of catalysis, in order to present the state of the art.

In search of factors influencing the outcome of an ischemic insult, we induced 10 min of forebrain ischemia in rats and assessed neuronal necrosis by quantitative histopathology after 1 week of recovery. Procedures for inducing ischemia included bilateral carotid artery clamping and reduction of blood pressure to 40–50 mm Hg by bleeding. To facilitate rapid lowering of blood pressure, a ganglionic
