(2004-04-23)
groups the proportion varied between 10.3 % and 10.6%. Instrumental deliveries were most common, 18.8%, in delivery units with 50-59% frequency of epidural block use. The lowest incidence (14.1%) was seen in units using epidurals in 30-39%. In the other...
Life without thyroid hormone receptors
(2003-08-08)
. This hormone-mediated gene regulation is a finely tuned interplay of numerous parameters. These include i) usage of several isoforms of receptors (TRa1, TRb1, TRb2, TRb3) encoded for by two distinct genes, ii) receptor-mediated repression of target gene...

Circulating immune complexes in atherosclerotic vascular disease
(2001-08-31)
We have investigated the association of the humoral immune factors
circulating immune complexes (CICs) and autoantibodies against
cardiolipin (aCL) and oxidatively modified LDL (oxLDL) to atherosclerotic
vascular diseases.

-99 according to an extensive investigational protocol. A presumptive explanation of the stillbirth was established in 91% of the cases. The most common factors associated with intrauterine fetal death could be identified as infections (24%), placental...
Sacroiliac pain-provocation testing in physiotherapy : time and force recording
(2004-08-27)
Introduction: Some of the tests used for examining pain arising from the
sacroiliac region are intended to provoke pain by using manually applied
forces. Previous reliability and validity studies of sacroiliac
pain-provocation ...
Biochemical and structural studies of pre-mRNA splicing
(2001-08-31)
glands of the dipteran Chironomus tentans. Using microdissection of the nascent BR3 transcripts and RT-PCR (reverse transcription coupled to polymerase chain reaction), we have shown that splicing is closely coupled to transcription in vivo. Once...
Cellular immunity and inflammation in atherosclerosis
(2001-11-09)
Atherosclerosis, the major cause of death and disability in western countries, is nowadays recognized as an inflammatory disease. Low density lipoprotein (LDL), the major carrier of cholesterol in plasma, is trapped in the ...
