The mechanisms behind secondary hyperlipidemia in patients with various chronic inflammatory diseases are not known in detail. We have recently demonstrated that ACTH exerts strong hypolipidemic effects in healthy volunteers. To test the clinical relevance of this finding, we administrated ACTH during three weeks to nine hyperlipidemic steroid-treated patients with kidney disease. Before administr

This dissertation analyses the narrated life stories of Swedish Hungarian women, sharing the numerous values and experiences of Hungarian exiles. With the help of interview transcripts of five women from the first generation of Hungarians living in exile in southern Sweden, the study presents seldom-discussed angles of ascertained membership in the Hungarian nation, moving beyond traditional defin

The decay properties of an above-threshold resonance in core-ionized water, which is difficult to. identify with usual spectroscopic methods, have been analyzed by resonant Auger spectroscopy. The resonance is. shown to correspond to a doubly excited neutral state embedded in the O 1s ionization continuum. The main, result of the experiments is the assessment on the dissociative nature of the inte

Spinel ferrites of the form MgxZn1-xFe2O4 ( x = 0. 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00) were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) from reactions of iron(III), zinc and magnesium oxides, iron powder and sodium perchlorate. The driving force for the reactions is the oxidation of iron powder. Reactions were carried out in the presence of an external magnetic field of 0.2 or 1.1 T. Reactio

Objective: To gain insight into the effects of duration of type 2 diabetes on insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: C-peptide concentrations were measured every 2 years before and after intravenous injection of 1 mg of glucagon in 89 patients with type 2 diabetes (51 men and 38 women) as part of the Rochester Diabetic Neuropathy Study in those subjects who particip

We find explicit solutions of type IIB string theory on R-4/Z(2) corresponding to the classical geometry of fractional D1-branes. From the supergravity solution obtained, we capture perturbative information about the running of the coupling constant and the metric on the moduli space of N = 4, D = 2 super Yang-Mills.

The lithology, age, geological setting, structural and metamorphic history of the granitic mylonites from the Mylonite Zone (MZ) in southwestern Sweden have been studied extensively. The deformation history, growth of microstructures, intensity of deformation, changes in mineral compositions, and pressure-temperature conditions of deformation have, however, not been addressed. In this study, powde

We consider two interrelated tasks in a synchronous n-node ring: distributed constant colouring and local communication. We investigate the impact of the amount of knowledge available to nodes on the time of completing these tasks. Every node knows the labels of nodes up to a distance r from it, called the knowledge radius. In distributed constant colouring every node has to assign itself one out

The CHIC Collaboration has performed a series of fermion interferometry experiments to study the space-time evolution of the emission sources in intermediate energy heavy ion reactions. Correlation functions of non-identical particles have allowed us to extract model independent information on the sequence of emission (chronology) of the particles. In this contribution, we discuss the order of emi

Object. Arterial vasospasm is the most common cause of delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DINDs) and one of the major causes of disability following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Current management of vasospasm involves intravascular volume expansion and hemodynamic augmentation with the goal of increasing cerebral blood flow (CBF). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vol
