Encephalitis is one of the manifestations of infection with Epstein-Barr virus with clinical outcome varying from complete recovery to death. A 16-year-old boy with Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis with global cortical and subcortical gray matter involvement and a full clinical recovery is reported. The case inspired a literature review which yielded 100 cases of Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis sub

Med en enkel dynamisk modell analyseras nattsänkning. Författaren drar slutsatserna att nattsänkning ger små besparingar som också kan uppnås genom sänkning av framledningstemperaturen, vidare att nattsänkning och dag/nattaxa är i konflikt med varandra.

BACKGROUND: We still lack comparing data of the plasma volume (PV)-expanding effect of the most commonly used colloids including dextran 70. This study compares the PV-expanding effects of 6% dextran 70, 5% albumin, and 6% hydroxyethylstarch (HES) 130/0.4 after a standardized hemorrhage. METHODS: The prospective and randomized study on 33 anesthetized adult male guinea pigs involved three groups (

OBJECTIVES: To determine the ability to correctly identify Cesarean section scars, to estimate the prevalence of defective scars, and to determine the size and location of scar defects by transvaginal ultrasound imaging. METHODS: Two hundred and eighty-seven women underwent transvaginal ultrasound examination 6-9 months after delivery: 108 had undergone one Cesarean section, 43 had had two Cesarea

In a laboratory investigation using tunable picosecond lasers in a pump-probe configuration, lifetimes of the E (II)-I-1, v = O and v = 1 states of CO are experimentally determined. For E (II)-I-1, v = 1, the lifetime is found to vary significantly for the isotopomers. Combining the data with existing oscillator strengths, predissociation probabilities within the range of 93.6%-98.64% result for (

We develop an approximation for the optical potential in a solid, valid at intermediate energies, i.e. energies greater than 50 eV. The present approximation for the optical potential builds on the GW-expression. We separate the RPA polarization propagator into a core electron and a valence electron, and can then achieve a corresponding separation of the optical potential. We apply this method to

Associations are not random. Semantic memory is structured in a way that when hearing a category name a listener will automatically think of exemplars belonging to this category. The order in which exemplars come to mind and the frequency of retrieval of exemplars across individuals are measures of category-exemplar associative strength. Associative strength affects a broad range of psychological

The World Health Organization suggests mental ill health in terms of depres- sion soon to be the highest-ranking disease problem in the Western part of the world. However, some critics argue that the alarming reports on mental ill health have their ground in the methods of inquiry themselves and refer to medicalization as an important issue. The aim of this article is to explore and illuminate the

Political commitments in our time are often described as characterized by political de-collectivization and increasing individualism. In the article this polarity between individualism and collectivism is addressed. Empirically, it is based on a survey which 1066 global justice movement activists participated in. Among these, activism has both strong individual and collective orientations. Persona

Objective: To conceptualize women's and their partners' experiences and ways of handling the situation before, during, and after second trimester ultrasound examination with the diagnosis of a nonviable fetus. Design: A grounded theory study. Setting: A Swedish regional hospital. Participants: Nine women and 6 men (n=15) were interviewed within a year of the event. Results: The core category was U
