Objective. To estimate the incidence of and survival rates for WG, microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) and PAN within a defined population in southern Sweden. Methods. Cases were retrieved using hospital records and a serology database. All new cases of WG, MPA, CSS and PAN between 1997 and 2006 were included, provided they met pre-defined criteria, and were followed until

To describe fractures revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a series of skeletally mature patients with radial wrist pain after an acute injury and clinically suspected to have a scaphoid fracture. Additionally, we attempted to assess the diagnostic value of radiographs and computed tomography (CT) in patients with scaphoid and other carpal fractures verified by MRI.

Background - Patient-reported assessments of freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD), such as the FOG questionnaire (FOGQ), are needed because FOG is difficult to assess objectively. However, the measurement properties of the FOGQ have been sparsely assessed. Aim - To assess the measurement properties of the Swedish FOGQ, and to explore relationships between FOGQ scores and other aspect

The treatment of meniscus tears and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are mainly considered as symptomatic. Meniscus tears can be divided into traumatic and degenerative tears, with different outcomes. A displaced meniscus with a locked knee constitutes an acute indication for arthroscopic surgery. A degenerative tear with mechanical symptoms also represents an indication for surgery. The

This study focuses on sulphurous and carbonaceous aerosol, the major constituents of particulate matter in the lowermost stratosphere (LMS), based on in situ measurements from 1999 to 2008. Aerosol particles in the size range of 0.082 mm were collected monthly during intercontinental flights with the CARIBIC passenger aircraft, presenting the first long-term study on carbonaceous aerosol in the LM

The complement system is activated in response to tissue injury. During wound healing, complement activation seems beneficial in acute wounds but may be detrimental in chronic wounds. We found that the epidermal expression of many complement components was only increased to a minor extent in skin wounds in vivo and in cultured keratinocytes after exposure to supernatant from stimulated mononuclear

Recension av "Ett kungahus i tiden". Familjen Bernadottes väg mot legitimitet under förra delen av 1800-talet undersöks via hovceremonier, bostäder, engagemang i medborgarsamhället med dess föreningsväsen samt analys av prinsarnas uppfostran och utbildning.

This small program tests some of the not-so-easily implemented features of Ada. Among the things tested are separate compilation, overloading, generics, aggregates, tasking and various real time facilities . The program can be used to get a quick assessment of the completeness of a non validated Ada compiler .

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Nationalencyklopedin står det att spektroskopi är en metod för att studera molekyler, atomer och atomkärnor med hjälp av dess spektra. Man använder både elektromagnetisk strålning och partikelstrålning inom spektroskopin. Spektroskopi används inom astronomi, kemi, fysik och medicin. Ordet spektroskopi kommer ifrån latinet och betyder att titta vilket förklaras av att Laser spectroscopy for both large and small spatial scales has been developed and used in various applications ranging from remote monitoring of atmospheric mercury in Spain to investigation of oxygen contents in wood, human sinuses, fruit, and pharmaceutical solids. Historically, the lidar group in Lund has performed many differential absorption lidar (DIAL) measurements with a mobile lidar syste

There are few studies on rhinitis and sick building syndrome (SBS) among students in tropical countries. We studied associations between levels of five fungal DNA sequences, two mycotoxins (sterigmatocystin and verrucarol) and cat allergen (Fel d 1) levels in schools and rhinitis and other weekly SBS symptoms in the students. Fungal DNA was measured by quantitative PCR and cat allergen by ELISA. P
