Background Trials of imatinib have provided evidence of activity in adults with Philadelphia-chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), but the drug's role when given with multidrug chemotherapy to children is unknown. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of oral imatinib in association with a Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster intensive chemotherapy regimen and allo geneic stem-cell tr

OBJECTIVE: To study the pharmacodynamics of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid against different strains of Haemophilus influenzae in an in vitro kinetic model. The concentrations used corresponded to human serum levels obtained after 875 mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given b.i.d., 500/125 mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given t.i.d. and those obtained with a pharmacokinetically enhanced formulation cont

Popular AbstractAvhandlingen är en pedagogikhistorisk kvinnobiografi. Min empiri bygger främst på ett biografiskt material bestående av litteratur av och om Honorine Hermelin Grønbech, samt brev från och till henne, radio- och TV-program jämte material kring skolan, protokoll, föreläsningsanteckningar samt samtal med tidsvittnen. Mot bakgrund av en pedagogy-historical and a women’s historical contThe aim of the dissertation is to analyse, in the light of the history of education and of women, ”biographical sections” of the life and work of the Swedish educationalist Honorine Hermelin Grønbech (1886-1977). The focus is on adult education, and in particular female civic education, which set out to encourage Swedish women to exercise their newly won rights of citizenship (1921). The publicat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Levande organismer, inklusive människor, har en 14C/12C-kvot som återspeglar miljön. När materialet dör slutar kroppen att fylla på 14C och kroppens 14C börjar sönderfalla till 14N. Detta gav upphov till den klassiska 14C-dateringsmetoden, vilken utvecklades av professor W.F. Libby, 1949 och gav honom Nobelpriset i kemi 1960. 14C-datering används huvudsakligen inom arkeThe testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, in the middle of the 20'h century, resulted in a bomb-pulse excess of atmospheric 14C. A bomb-pulse dating method was thus developed. The latter is a method to determine the time of formation of formerly living modern (i.e. living after 1955) material , based on the 14C/ 12C ratio in it. The objective of this work was to evaluate the factors that c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Transplantation av dopaminceller från mänskliga foster kan förbättra funktionen hos patienter med Parkinsons sjukdom (Lindvall 1997, Björklund 2000a). Man har kunnat visa att transplantaten har återställt dopaminproduktionen i striatum till normala nivåer i flera fall, och till 70-80% av normalt i majoriteten av de patienter som transplanterats i Lund. Transplantaten haTransplantation of embryonic human neural tissue can restore function in patients with Parkinson’s disease, but there is a severe shortage of donor tissue which limits the applicability of the technique. Embryonic neural tissue from other species, xenogeneic tissue, would provide a readily accessible donor tissue with the potential to help patients if the immunological reactions in the host could

Abstract in UndeterminedThe capacity of shrub canopy water storage is a key factor in controlling the rainfall interception. Thus, it affects a variety of hydrological processes in water-limited arid desert ecosystems. Vast areas of revegetated desert ecosystems in Northwestern China are occupied by shrub and dwarf shrub communities. Yet, data are still scarce regarding their rainwater storage cap

The presented thesis work is concerned with the study of molecular dynamics using liquid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Spin relaxation dispersion experiments in the rotating frame (R_1ρ) are employed to provide a detailed, atomic-resolution view of protein dynamics. Comprehensive investigations of ¹⁵N backbone and ¹³C methyl side-chain confor

Objective: To update evidence for available therapies in the treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to examine whether research evidence has changed from 31 January 2006 to 31 January 2009. Methods: A systematic literature search was undertaken using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, Science Citation Index and the Cochrane Library. The quality of studies was assessed. Effect sizes (ESs) an

This thesis is based on the results concerning the epitaxial growth and characterization of silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) nanostructures. The growth technique was the Ultra High Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition (UHV-CVD) that works in relatively low temperatures and low growth pressures. The UHV-CVD chamber was also used for the reduction experiments. The work presented here involves three diff

The baobab is among the commonly consumed wild fruits found in the semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa. It has a wide application in food systems and folk medicine and has an advantage of surviving even in harsh environmental conditions. While the fruit pulp is packed with a lot of essential nutrients and has gained much interest in recent past on the international market as a healthy ‘superfo

Höksångarens Sylvia nisoria flyttning och övervintring Fåglars flyttning har fascinerat forskare under en lång tid. Från att ha varit begränsat till visuella observationer har utvecklingen tagit forskningsfältet framåt via bland annat ringmärkning, radar, satellit- och GPS-sändare. Det senaste decenniet har mycket små ljusmätande apparater gjort det möjligt att detaljerat följa även mindre fåglarTechnological advancements in the past few decades have been pushing the research field of animal migration forward rapidly. In this study light-level geolocators were used to track Swedish barred warblers Sylvia nisoria, a long-distance migrant wintering in equatorial East Africa. We obtained data on autumn migration events and on wintering sites. Ringing data from populations in Northern Europe

Cancer kan drabba vem som helst och kan ha sitt ursprung i många olika områden i kroppen. Antalet nya cancerfall ökar varje år, men vissa typer av cancer har bättre prognos än andra. Den vanligaste cancertypen i Sverige är prostatacancer och den drabbar framför allt äldre män. Prostatacancer har god prognos och det finns effektiva metoder att helt bota prostat- acancer om den behandlas i ett tidigPurpose: Recent developments in external radiotherapy and its utilization with artificial in- telligence (AI) enables advanced treatment plans for a range of different disease sites. By adapting to the anatomy of the day, target coverage can be ensured while sparing more healthy tissue. The purpose of this project was to study the feasibility and benefits of daily cone beam computed tomography (CB

The principal rule of the common market is that goods and services are able to move freely across the borders of Member States. State monopolies in control of supply and demand are, therefore, only under exceptional circumstances compatible with the conditions of the common market. The compatibility of Swedish State monopolies with EC law is a controversial matter. The case-law of the ECJ lets us

The current plastic system is unsustainable and needs to change. Plastics are mainly produced from fossil feedstock, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, and low rate of post-consumer recycling results in pollution on land and in oceans with high ecological impact, and huge loss of valuable material. There is an urgent need to find solutions for shifting the raw material base to renewable res

Importance: Patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) may progress to clinical Alzheimer disease (AD), remain stable, or revert to normal. Earlier progression to AD among patients who were β-amyloid positive vs those who were β-amyloid negative has been previously observed. Current research now accepts that a combination of biomarkers could provide greater refinement in the assessmen
