Comparison of elicitation potential of chloroatranol and atranol - 2 allergens in oak moss absolute
Chloroatranol and atranol are degradation products of chloroatranorin and atranorin, respectively, and have recently been identified as important contact allergens in the natural fragrance extract, oak moss absolute. Oak moss absolute is widely used in perfumery and is the cause of many cases of fragrance allergic contact dermatitis. Chloroatranol elicits reactions at very low levels of exposure.
Improved algorithm for simulations of divergent-light halos
Divergent-light halos are produced when light from nearby light sources is scattered by ice crystals in the atmosphere. We present a theory of divergent-light halos leading to an improved algorithm for the simulation of such halos. Contrary to the algorithm that we presented earlier for simulating such halos, the new algorithm includes a mathematically rigorous weighting of the events. The compute
Density-Functional exchange-correlation potential and orbital eigenvalues for the Ne-atom
Using a numerical fitting scheme we construct the exact Density-Functional (DF) effective potential, corresponding wave-functions and orbital eigenvalues from an accurate correlated reference density for the neon atom. Our results compare well with those obtained later using a number of different methods, thus demonstrating the utility of the original and relatively simple fitting scheme. The exac
Polymorphic populations of Dactylorhiza incarnata s.l. (Orchidaceae) on the Baltic island of Gotland: morphology, habitat preference and genetic differentiation.
Background and Aims Organisms may be polymorphic within natural populations, but often the significance and genetic background to such polymorphism is not known. To understand the colour polymorphism expressed in the diploid marsh-orchids Dactylorhiza incarnata, morphological, habitat and genetic differentiation was studied in mixed populations on the island of Gotland, supplemented with genetic m
Further important sensitizers in patients sensitive to fragrances - I. Reactivity to 14 frequently used chemicals
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of responses to selected fragrance materials in consecutive patients patch tested in 6 dermatological centres in Europe. 1855 patients were evaluated with the 8% fragrance mix (FM) and 14 other frequently used well-defined fragrance chemicals (series 1). Each patient was classified regarding a history of adverse reactions to fragrances: certain,
Internet-based rehabilitation for individuals with chronic pain and burnout: A randomized trial
This study investigates utilization of the Internet in the rehabilitation of people on long-term sick leave with chronic pain and/or burnout. Fifty-five people were randomly assigned to two groups: a treatment group (n = 27) that participated in a rehabilitation course over the Internet and a waiting list group (n = 28). The goals were to improve participants' health and increase quality of life,

Reevaluation of blueshifts introduced by lateral confinement in quantum-well wire structures
The luminescence from etched quantum-well wire structures often exhibits an unexpectedly large blueshift of the peak energy position. Further, the shift is usually quite independent of the width of the wires. In this letter we show that this blueshift can be explained as a decreased transfer of excitons between areas of different monolayer thicknesses within the single quantum wells, caused by a c

Growth of larval and juvenile perch: the importance of diet and fish density
In August, growth rate of young-of-the-year (YOY) perch in lake enclosures could be explained by both YOY density and mean cladoceran biomass, suggesting that in a lake where YOY perch are dominant, growth may be density dependent in late summer and mediated through top-down control on daphnid biomass. In June, growth rate of YOY perch could not be fully explained by YOY density or by mean cladoce
Graft placement and uneven pattern of reinnervation in the striatum is important for development of graft-induced dyskinesia.
In two recent double-blind clinical trials of fetal ventral mesencephalic cell transplants into the striatum in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), a significant proportion of the grafted patients developed dyskinetic side effects, which were not seen in the sham operated patients. Comparison between dyskinetic and non-dyskinetic grafted patients in one of the trials suggested that an uneven p
The Dirichlet problem for maximal plurisubharmonic functions on analytic varieties in C^n
Let Ω be a B-regular domain in ℂn and let V be a locally irreducible analytic variety in Ω. Given a continuous function , we prove that there is a unique maximal plurisubharmonic function u on V with boundary values given by ϕ and furthermore that u is continuous on .

Reactions to music, touch and object presentation in the final stage of dementia: an exploratory study (Reprinted from International Journal of Nursing Studies, vol 23, pg 315-323, 1986)
Two patients in the final stage of dementia of Alzheimer type were stimulated with music, touch and object presentation during 12 consecutive days (16 trials per patient). Evaluations were made by direct observations, analysis of video-taped recordings and registrations of pulse and rate of respiration. Both patients reacted differently to music than to touch and object presentation. (C) 2003 Publ
Provision of genetic services in Europe: current practices and issues
This paper examines the professional and scientific views on the social, ethical and legal issues that impact on the provision of genetic services in Europe. Many aspects have been considered, such as the definition and the aims of genetic services, their organization, the quality assessment, public education, as well as the partnership with patients support groups and the multicultural aspects.

Design of high-density antibody microarrays for disease proteomics: Key technological issues.
Antibody-based microarray is a novel proteomic technology setting a new standard for molecular profiling of non-fractionated complex proteomes. The first generation of antibody microarrays has already demonstrated its potential for generating detailed protein expression profiles, or protein atlases, of human body fluids in health and disease, paving the way for new discoveries within the field of
Body composition profiles derived from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, total body scan, and mortality
Little has been reported on the association of derived body composition data and cardiovascular mortality. The authors defined body composition profiles based on one- and two-variable measures from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) total body scans. Scan results are labeled "apple" if Z score for percent of total fat in trunk is >0 and "pear" if Z score for height-corrected limb fat is > or =
Donepezil in patients with severe Alzheimer's disease: double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study
Background The cholinesterase inhibitor donepezil is used to treat mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Its efficacy in severe dementia has not been assessed and is controversial. Our aim was to ascertain the effectiveness of donepezil in patients with severe Alzheimer's disease, by focusing primarily on cognition and activities of daily living. Methods We did a 6-month, double-blind, parallel-gr
