Background: Persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) is one of the common anomalies of the systemic veins. Its prevalence is 0.1-0.3% in the general population and is more common with congenital heart disease (CHD). The importance of detecting persistent LSVC prior to cardiac surgery is paramount for systemic veins cannulations. Aim: The aim was to evaluate the prevalence of persistent LSVC in pa

Background Postural asymmetries with seating problems are common in adults with cerebral palsy. Aims To analyse the prevalence of asymmetrical limited hip flexion (<90°) in adults with CP, and to evaluate the association between asymmetrical limited hip flexion and postural asymmetries in the sitting position. Methods and procedures Cross-sectional data of 714 adults with CP, 16–73 years, GMFCS le

Aims/hypothesis: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common complication among individuals with diabetes. A better understanding of the genetic background of CAD in this population has the potential to suggest novel molecular targets for screening, risk assessment and drug development. Methods: We performed a genome-wide association study of CAD in 15,666 unrelated individuals (3,968 CAD cases and

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a locus-specific dual DNA probe (LSI EGR-1SO/D5S23SG) for chromosome 5 was used in combination with morphology to study bone marrow cell lineage involvement of the abnormal chromosomal clone in 13 patients with deletion 5q[del(5q)], either as a sole aberration or as part of a complex karyotype, and in six cases with monosomy 5 by metaphase cytogenetic

A method is presented for the determination of aromatic amines in aqueous extracts of polyurethane (PUR) foam. The method is based on the extraction of PUR foam using aqueous acetic acid (0.1%, w/v) followed by determination of extracted aromatic amines using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) with positive electrospray ionisation. The inject

The properties of the amyloid-beta peptide that lead to aggregation associated with Alzheimer's disease are not fully understood. This study aims at identifying conformational differences among four variants of full-length Abeta42 that are known to display very different aggregation properties. By extensive all-atom Monte Carlo simulations, we find that a variety of beta-sheet structures with dist

AimThe aim of this study was to investigate differences in mortality up to 1year of age in extremely preterm infants (before 27weeks) born in seven Swedish healthcare regions. MethodsNational prospective observational study of consecutively born, extremely preterm infants in Sweden 2004-2007. Mortality was compared between regions. Crude and adjusted odds ratios and 95% CI were calculated. Results

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the bone turnover by using bone metabolic markers in relation to previous fracture history and independent of bone mass. Patients and controls were recruited from a population-based study of 193 women, all living in the same city and aged 60, 70, and 80 years. The bone mineral content (BMC) was measured bilaterally in the distal forearm by single-p

The remarkable variation in plumage and morphological characters in the redpoll complex Carduelis flammea-hornemanni has puzzled taxonomists for several decades. In contrast, molecular studies have not revealed any genetic differentiation among the phenotypic redpoll forms. This could either be a result of high present-day gene flow or morphological differentiation following a rapid and recent pop

Water scarcity and salinization of arable land in Tunisia are forcing the largest water user, the irrigation sector, to modernize and increase its efficiency. This study evaluated the impact of deficit irrigation with saline water in a sandy loam soil cultivated with potatoes in northern Tunisia. The evaluation considered soil salinization and irrigation water productivity in a changing climate by

Preeclampsia, a common complication of pregnancy, contributes significantly to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It may lead to both quantitative and qualitative defects of maternal and neonatal platelets. In this prospective study, flow cytometry has been used to study expression of platelet-surface glycoproteins (GPs) on maternal and neonatal platelets of both healthy and preeclamptic

Background: Ketogenic diet in children with epilepsy has a considerable impact on daily life and is usually adopted for at least 3 months. Our aim was to evaluate whether the introduction of an all-liquid ketogenic diet in an outpatient setting is feasible, and if an earlier assessment of its efficacy can be achieved.Methods: The authors conducted a prospective, observational study in a consecutiv

The metabolism of individual polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may be influenced differently by nutritional status and nutritional intake. In normal rats, radioactive arachidonic acid (20:4(n-6), is preferentially retained in tissue phospholipids compared to linoleic (18:2(n-6), or eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5(n-3). This study compares the fate of 20:4(n-6) and 20:5(n-3) acids in essential fatty a

The laccase producing fungus HC1 was isolated from a sample collected in the Bolivian Amazon region. Analysis of 5.8S and 28S rDNA, and internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2 sequences revealed that isolate HC1 belongs to genus Galerina. High production of laccase was achieved in basal salt medium supplemented with 30 g L-1 glucose, 10 g L-1 yeast extract and 0.01 g L-1 copper sulphate. The enzyme pr
