Questions on Life Satisfaction-Hypopituitarism (QLS-H) is a new quality-of-life (QoL) questionnaire developed for adults with hypopituitarism. To determine the effects of long-term GH treatment on QoL, we evaluated QLS-H Z-scores in 576 adult patients with GH deficiency (GHD) enrolled in HypoCCS, an international observational study, using data from five countries in which comparative QLS-H data f

A premature boy who had suffered from IRDS, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of prematurity developed massive hypertriglyceridemia (48.1 mmol/L) together with moderate hypercholesterolemia (12.6 mmol/L) at 5 months of age. Lipoprotein electrophoresis revealed a marked elevation of the level of the very low density lipoprotein fraction. There was a moderate decrease in the activity of a l

A non-variational Galerkin method, completely based on B-spline methods is introduced and applied to calculations of resonance positions and widths in H- and He. The results agree very well with other theories and experiments. Photodetachment in H- and photoionization of He are also considered.

It has been suggested that autochthonous (internally produced) organic carbon and allochthonous (externally produced) organic carbon are utilized by phylogenetically different bacterioplankton. We examined the relationship between the source of organic matter and the structure and function of lake bacterial communities. Differences and seasonal changes in bacterial community composition in two lak

Pb-195 was investigated utilizing the reactions Dy-164(S-36, 5n)Pb-195 and Dy-164(S-34, 3n)Pb-195 at beam energies of 170 and 160MeV respectively. Two new dipole bands which feed into the yrast 25/2(+) state, were found in Pb-195. The connection between the bands and the spherical states was established and thus spins and energies of the involved collective states were determined. The deformation

We describe a general approach to rapidly obtain the DNA sequence encoding the variable region of any immunoglobulin chain using the polymerase chain reaction and a mixture of upstream primers corresponding to the leader sequence, and one downstream primer designed from the conserved nucleotide sequence of the constant region. The approach was applied to five different hybridomas producing human m

Objective: To investigate gene expression of thyrostimulin in orbital and thyroid tissue from patients with and without Graves' disease. Design: Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for detection of thyrostimulin gene expression in intraorbital adipose tissue from patients with severe ophthalmopathy and thyroid healthy controls in addition to thyrostimulin ex

A 43-L column photobioreactor wash tested for the treatment of acetonitrile Using a symbiotic consortium consisting of a Chlorella sorokiniana strain and a Comamonas strain. Complete biodegradation of 1 g acetonitrile/l was achieved in 79 hours under continuous illumination at 500 mu E/m(2) s and 26 degrees C. When the photobioreactor was operated at 26 degrees C under a 14/10 hours light/dark ill

A general model for pressure drop calculations in siphons and riser tubes has been developed. The model takes into account different physical flow phenomena such as inlet pressure drop and pressure drop in the tube. For each phenomenon, we applied theory and established correlations to calculate the separate accelerational, frictional, gravitational, and centrifugal pressure drops. Model results a

Uttorkning av betong är ett ämnesområde som under lång tid varit i fokus. Genom åren har många skadefall kunnat kopplas till alltför fuktiga betonggolv. Det är inte betongen som tar skada utan vissa material som placerats i direkt anslutning till betongen. Exempel är kemisk nedbrytning av lim under plastmattor, vilket skapat kemiska emissioner som vandrat ut till inomhusluften, eller som lett till

While populism and populist politics have been the focus of a wide range of studies in the social sciences, few analyses of populist phenomena have moved beyond the level of simple description. This study has three immediate aims: to critique existing theories of populism, to develop a new, analytical view of populism, and apply this view comparatively to two cases. This new view of populism emer

Chromatofocusing of proteins in a microcolumn format (750 mum i.d.) was evaluated with slurry-packed Mono P anion-exchanger beads (10 pin bead size) as chromatographic matrix. Evaluation was performed with three standard proteins in terms of flow rate, Polybuffer 96-acetic acid, pH 6.0, concentration (eluent buffer strength), and detection limit. A column with the dimension 750 pin i.d. x 50 mm le
