OBJECTIVES: The aims of our study were to compare the interobserver reproducibility of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) saline contrast sonohysterography (SCSH) and agreement of these techniques with hysteroscopy, and to determine which SCSH findings best discriminate between benign and malignant endometrium. METHODS: Consecutive women with postmenopausal bleeding and endometrial th
En bok om Årstafrun, Märta Helena Reenstiernas dagböcker 1793-1839. Årstafruns relationer till maken, ryttmästare Christian Henrik von Schnell och de åtta barnen är i fokus. Boken är tematiskt uppbyggd kring hela dagboksamterialet, och anknyter även till händelser i tidens samhälle i ett större perspektiv.
Först vill jag tacka Anders Blanck och Rikard Pellas för repliken. Det finns mycket att tjäna på en öppen och faktabaserad dialog. De ifrågasätter inte våra resultat, men menar att slutsatsen att det finns många och allvarliga överträdelser är felaktig eftersom det finns mycket marknadsföring – något som vi också noterar som en begränsning i vår studie. Men (som vi också skriver) vi grundar vår s
This paper presents a toroidal inductor integrated in a standard 0.13 mu m CMOS process. Finite-elements preliminary simulations are provided to prove the validity of the concept. In order to extract fundamental parameters by means of direct calculations, two different and well-known approaches are followed and the results are compared; this comparison provides useful guidelines for the design of
Luke’s account of the last supper (22:14–38) is here analyzed according to the pattern of chreia elaboration, which was one of the preparatory rhetorical exercises known as Progymnasmata in the Hellenistic school. The study begins with a brief overview of the preserved progymnastic textbooks or manuals and their contents, and then proceeds to show how influences from the exercises can be detected
Abstract> Objectives. Diagnostics of patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) are complex, and based on the 2010 Task Force document including different diagnostic modalities. However, recommendations for clinical management and follow-up of patients with ARVC and their relatives are sparse. This paper aims to give a practical overview of management strategies, risk str

PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcome after carpal tunnel release in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. METHODS: We evaluated a prospective, consecutive series of 35 diabetic patients (median age, 54 years; 15 with type 1 and 20 with type 2 diabetes) with carpal tunnel syndrome, who were age- and gender-matched with 31 nondiabetic patients (median age, 51 years) having idiopathic carpal tunnel
The surface-localized M protein of Streptococcus pyogenes is a major virulence factor that inhibits phagocytosis, as determined ex vivo. Because little is known about the role of M protein in vivo we analyzed the contribution of different M protein regions to virulence, using the fibrinogen (Fg)-binding M5 protein and a mouse model of acute invasive infection. This model was suitable, because M5 i
Low-dose ketamine administration mimics, both clinically and on gross neuroimaging, depersonalization disorder. The perceptual effects of ketamine may be due to secondary stimulation of glutamate release and lamotrigine, possibly by inhibited glutamate release, may reduce some of ketamine's so-called dissociative effects. However, lamotrigine does not seem to be useful in the treatment of deperson
The Wilms' tumour gene 1 (WT1) protein is highly expressed in most leukaemias. Co-expression of WT1 and the fusion protein AML1-ETO in mice rapidly induces acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Mechanisms behind expression of WT1, as well as consequences thereof, are still unclear. Here, we report that the fusion protein BCR/ABL1 increases expression of WT1 mRNA and protein via the phosphatidylinositol-3
One implication of freedom of religion is that the State must accept a variety of religious beliefs and practices. Yet, not everything can be accepted. One way of dealing with such a conflict is to state that freedom of religion is absolute in so far that it does not infringe upon some other more important value. Another way is to limit what is considered ‘religious.’ Both these ways are insuffici
ABSTRACT: Seventeen patients with advanced Parkinson disease (PD) were treated with intrajejunal L-dopa infusion (IJL) and compared with a matched group of 9 patients (termed comparator [C]) not given IJL because of funding restriction by primary care trusts (PCTs) in the UK, although considered to be clinically eligible for IJL. Assessments were baseline and follow-up (6 months) with Hoehn and Ya
