(1999-10-22)
of birth cohort effects on the mortality from MS in Sweden and Stockholm County during 1962-1995 and 1968-1995 using age-period-cohort models with curvature analysis and data on multiple causes of death. The study in SC revealed that: 1) cohorts born before...
Effects of unloading on skeletal muscle mass and function in man
(1996-03-22)
activity decreased. Single-fiber analysis in 3 individuals showed a decrease in force-generating capacity per cross-sectional area (specific tension) after bedrest. No change occurred in maximum shortening velocity of pooled single fibers. Neural drive...
Vocational rehabilitation of unemployed sick-listed people in a Swedish rural area : an individual-level study based on social insurance data
(2000-11-28)
The long trend of low unemployment and increasing economic growth in Sweden was broken in the early 1990 s. In a short time, the rate of unemployment had risen from 1.3% in 1990 to 8.2% in 1993. A previous study made in Stockholm showed that among...
Homelessness and health : analysis of mortality and morbidity from a gender perspective
(2009-03-13)
younger homeless women had the highest risk (RR 2.2). Alcohol use disorders were equally common among homeless men and women, but women had more drug use disorders (RR 1.3). Women had a higher risk of schizophrenia (RR 2.8), and personality disorders (RR 2...

distribution): 2-554, (P=0.002), in all different professions exposed to organic solvents: OR: 4.9; 95%CI: 2.2-12.1, (P<0.001) and in drivers: OR: 3.0, 95%CI: 1.1-9.2 (P=0.02). Multivariate analysis showed that the significances remained, after consideration...
Reducing the morbidity of transurethral resection of the prostate based on patient selection, fluid absorption, and blood loss
(2001-10-05)
, were examined. The risk of neurological symptoms after TURP was 4.8 times higher for glycine 1.5% than for mannitol 3%. An increase of 1000 ml in the volume of fluid absorbed increased the risk of circulatory and neurological symptoms by a factor of 3...
Diabetes and puberty : studies on hormonal factors of importance to the blood glucose control
(2000-11-24)
a correlation between blood glucose and IGFBP-3 protease activity during mid-puberty. We speculate, the increased protease activity is a compensatory mechanism to restore free IGF-I concentrations to normalise glucose homeostasis. Low IGF-I levels...
To catch a killer : on the mechanisms of interferon alpha induced apoptosis
(2005-01-28)
. Inhibition of P13K as well as mTOR completely abrogates IFNalpha-induced apoptosis. No effect from inhibition of PI3K/mTOR is observed on the IFNalpha-induced classical Jak-STAT signalling pathway, indicating that Jak-STAT signalling alone is not sufficient...

(2019-04-01)
Normal lung gas exchange depends on an intimate match between regional ventilation and regional blood flow in the lungs. The beneficial effect of the prone posture in acute respiratory failure is well documented but the ...
