Acute and early chronic responses to resistance exercise using flywheel or weights
(2008-05-15)
Weight training typically offers constant external load during coupled shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) muscle actions in sets of consecutive repetitions until failure. However, skeletal muscle inherently ...
Studies of cannabinoid receptor 1 in mantle cell lymphoma
(2008-11-21)
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a malignant B-cell lymphoma that affects
older individuals and has a male predominance. MCL has one of the worst
prognoses among lymphomas and currently there is a search for a curative

A new technique to assess dermal absorption of chemical vapor in vitro by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
(2008-11-28)
There is a huge lack of dermal uptake data for chemicals, and it is frequent with large variations in reported permeability coefficients for chemicals with more than one data set, showing the need for a new and standardized ...
Drug treatment in children with focus on off-label drug use
(2010-08-06)

A developing embryo needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients in order to survive and grow into a functioning organism. During the earliest embryonic stages passive diffusion is enough to sustain the embryo. At later ...
Studies on cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 and 15-lipoxygenase-1 in lymphomas
(2008-08-22)
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a malignant disorder with striking
inflammatory features. Since cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) are potent
inflammatory mediators it was of interest to study their potential role
in ...
Genetic and functional studies on the thyroid hormone axis
(2008-10-24)
; in the remaining 28 cases, exons 9 and 10 of the TSHr gene were sequenced. Exons 8 and 9 of the Gsalpha gene were sequenced in all 43 cases. No mutations, but three germ-line polymorphisms, were found in patients withTSHr antibody-negative Graves disease. Two...
A longitudinal study of dentofacial morphology in young children treated for the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
(2008-09-19)
The most common cause of OSAS in children is enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids. Consequently, the treatment for OSAS in children with enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids is adeno-/tonsillectomy. The prevalence of OSAS in ...
