Lärdomen och förgängligheten

This short essay on how the book is used in Dutch paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries stresses the ambiguities of its overt message and latent symbolism, more varied than mere erudition or inevitable mortality.

Unstable translocation (8;22) in a case of giant cell reparative granuloma.

Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is an uncommon lesion most often affecting the jaw but also the small bones of the hands and feet. GCRG overlaps clinically and radiographically with other giant cell-rich tumors such as giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). In the only case of a cytogenetically investigated GCRG reported previously, a balanced translocation involvin

Industrin överdriver kostnaderna för utveckling av nya läkemedel

Flertalet nya läkemedel tas fram av universitet och undervisningssjukhus, ofta med betydande offentliga subsidier, för att därefter tas över av läkemedelsindustrin, vars främsta uppgift är att utföra de kliniska prövningarna. Det är viktigt nog, men betydligt mindre innovativt än vad industrin vill få oss att tro, skriver Anders Jeppsson i polemik mot ett tidigare inlägg av Pierre Lafolie.

Do BRCA1 mutations affect the ability to breast feed? Significantly shorter length of breast feeding among BRCA1 mutation carriers compared with their unaffected relatives.

The difference in length of breast feeding between women with a BRCA 1 mutation and their unaffected relatives was investigated. Fifty women belonging to a family with a known BRCA1 mutation had themselves undergone testing and each had given birth to at least one child. Women with BRCA1 mutation breast-fed their first infant for a significantly shorter period (P = 0.048) and the second and third

No difference between daily and weekly pin site care: a randomized study of 50 patients with external fixation.

Introduction: We investigated whether there were any differences in the frequency and severity of pin site infections by performing pin site care daily or once a week. We studied patients operated on for gonarthrosis by the hemicallotasis technique, using hydroxyapatite-coated pins in the metaphyseal bone and standard pins in the diaphyseal bone. Patients and methods: 50 patients were prospectivel

Cathodoluminescence studies of nanostructured semiconductors

Spatially and spectrally resolved cathodoluminescence in the scanning electron microscope is a very powerful technique for studying the optical properties of semiconductor structures, especially low-dimensional structures (structures with nanometre-sized features). The technique is generally nondestructive and can be combined with the normal imaging capabilities and analysis possibilities of the s

Diversity of dietary patterns observed in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) project

Objective.. To describe the diversity in dietary patterns existing across centres/regions participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design and setting.. Single 24-hour dietary recall measurements were obtained by means of standardised face-to-face interviews using the EPIC-SOFT software. These have been used to present a graphic multi-dimensional com

Smoking, healthcare cost, and loss of productivity in Sweden 2001

Aims: Objectives were (a) to estimate healthcare cost and productivity losses due to smoking in Sweden 2001 and (b) to compare the results with studies for Sweden 1980, Canada 1991, Germany 1996, and the USA 1998. Methods: Published estimates on relative risks and Swedish smoking patterns were used to calculate attributable risks for smokers and former smokers. These were applied to cost estimates

En modell av det inledande utrymningsförloppet

The purpose of the present study was to develop a new model of the initial part of an evacuation process, i.e., the pre-movement phase. A new method for estimating the pre-movement time was also going to be proposed. In the initial part of the study an inventory of existing models of human behaviour during fire evacuation was performed. This was followed by a literature review about helping behavi

Towards a benchmark simulation model for plant-wide control strategy performance evaluation of WWTPs

The COST/IWA benchmark simulation model has been available for seven years. Its primary purpose has been to create a platform for control strategy benchmarking of activated sludge processes. The fact that the benchmark has resulted in more than 100 publications, not only in Europe but also worldwide, demonstrates the interest in such a tool within the research community In this paper, an extension
