(2000-04-14)
deletion on chromosome 22q11.2 (DiGeorge syndrome) and an inversion of chromosome 5, respectively, were described. In addition, 11 PGD cycles for carriers of Robertsonian and reciprocal translocations were presented. As these patients are at high risk...

(2001-01-26)
During the last 25 years, alcohol consumption has become a widely debated issue, especially due to research results, in which the beneficial effects of alcohol on health and mortality have been maintained. Research has ...
Unraveling genetic mechanisms in autism spectrum disorders
(2011-09-08)
cases, while heart defects, short neck and/or redundant skin folds, eye abnormalities, and ear anomalies were present in the majority of cases. By our finding we could narrow down the critical region for the 6p22 deletion phenotype to 2.2 Mb comprising...
Paediatric intensive care in Sweden : i mechanical ventilation and central haemodynamics : ii outcome of paediatric intensive care with special reference to respiratory failure
(2008-05-23)
The ABC of acute care is to maintain Airway, Breathing and Circulation or
oxygen delivery, which depends on the product of cardiac output (CO) and
oxygenation. Thus knowledge of how different modes of mechanical
ventilation ...

(2014-10-31)
with early RA who responded well to initial Methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy. Most early RA patients who achieved low disease activity after 3 – 4 months of MTX monotherapy continued to have low disease activity during 2 years follow-up. However, marked...

(2010-04-30)
In the present thesis, four studies using four different settings and
designs are presented in which associations between pharmacological
treatments and possible adverse drug reactions are investigated; some
methodological ...
Exposure to inorganic arsenic in pregnancy and metabolism-nutrition interaction
(2006-11-10)
proportions of iAs, MMA, and DMA in urine in gestational week 9 were 15%, 11 % and 74%, respectively, indicating efficient arsenic methylation in spite of the malnutrition (about one third of the women had BMI below 18.5 kg/m 2) . Also, we found...
Chemokine receptor expression and function in experimental autoimmune neuroinflammation
(2007-05-25)
Neuroinflammatory lesions in the central nervous system (CNS) are characterized by the presence of leukocytes, mainly monocytes/macrophages, derived from the systemic compartment. We believe CC inflammatory chemokine receptors (CkRs), CCR1, CCR2...

(2018-01-26)
identification numbers. Hourly values of O3 were obtained from single urban background monitoring stations in each city. We generated daily 8-h maximum levels as well as 2-h, 24-h, 2d, and 7d means. The associations between ambient O3 levels and health outcomes...
