Prenatal diagnosis in routine antenatal care : a randomised controlled trial
(2005-11-04)
not statistically significant.
Pregnancy dating at 12-14 weeks was more precise than at 15-22 gws as expressed by the standard deviation of the estimates (2 vs. 3 days). Three dating formulas performed very well at both early and late dating. Our results indicate...
Xenobiotics-induced phosphorylations of MDM2
(2006-11-24)
The aim of the present study was to characterize the Mdm2 and p53 responses induced by DNA damaging xenobiotics and how these responses can be modified by non-genotoxic xenobiotics. During control conditions cellular levels of p53 are low. The level...
Platelet function in diabetes mellitus : relationships to hyperglycaemia, antidiabetic treatment and microangiopathy
(2005-01-14)
oral antidiabetic treatments, platelet hyperreactivity (increased ADP-induced P-selectin expression) was observed after a carbohydrate-rich meal in type 2 diabetes patients. Premeal treatment with repaglinide or glibenclamide reduced postmeal...

The post-polio syndrome : studies of immunology and immunomodulatory intervention
(2005-09-02)
Late effects in patients with prior poliomyelitis were first reported in the nineteenth century and have been referred to as the post-polio syndrome (PPS). PPS is characterized by new muscular deterioration, fatigue and ...
On the development of postural adjustments in sitting and standing
(2006-10-27)
We have studied postural adjustments, i.e., muscle activity elicited by external perturbations in typically developing infants during the periods in life when independent sitting and standing emerge. We also studied two ...
