To provide evidence of whether seizure clustering is associated with drug resistance and increased mortality in childhood-onset epilepsy, a prospective, long-term population-based study was performed. One hundred twenty patients who had been followed since disease onset (average age 37.0 years, SD 7.1, median 40.0, range 11–42; incident cases) were included. At the end follow-up period, 26 (11 boys) these (22%) recorded clusters seizures. Fourteen pre-treatment clusters, including 10 as...
We studied the case records of 1122 patients with endogenous uveitis including 418 new cases treated at University Eye Clinic in Turku during years 1980-1982 and 1988. The mean annual incidence prevalence rates anterior were, respectively, 21.3 68.7 per 100,000, posterior 0.8 4.6 panuveitis 0.2 100 000, all 22.6 75.4 100,000 population. was higher age group 20-69 than groups 0-19 (p < 0.001) 70 or over = 0.049). were not different between sexes any 0.2). lower socio-economic 0.001).

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the level of knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth in nulliparous pregnant women. DESIGN: Survey using stratified randomised cluster sampling confidential questionnaire analysis. SETTING: Maternity health care clinics. PARTICIPANTS: Of a total eligible population 1713 women from Finnish province, 1443 took part. remainder, 131 were not informed study 139 (8.8%) refused to participate. The distribution occupation refusers was similar participants. MEASUREMENTS...
A population-based epidemiological study of the prevalence headache in a sample 24,682 adults was carried out Finland. Enquiries were made concerning frequency headache, migraine and characteristics attacks questionnaire survey 1981. Headache classified as migraine, without migrainous features. Possible somatic causes excluded by record-linkage with three nation-wide medical registries. The both types depended on age gender. Among women overall 10.1% maximum 11.5% 40-49 group. rate among men...
Food, feed and beverage processing brings tannins into contact with macromolecules, such as proteins polysaccharides, leading to different chemical physical interactions. The interactions of are well known but less is about the affinity polysaccharides. We used bacterial cellulose from nata de coco a model compound investigate how interact by adsorption measurements using UPLC-DAD. also explored structure influences these included nine individual structurally hydrolysable (HTs) eight...
Plant tannins are known for their anthelmintic and antiparasitic activities have been increasingly studied to battle the ever-growing problem of resistance. While shown exhibit these on own, one approach would be use them as complementary nutrients alongside commercial anthelmintics. So far, research interactions between anthelmintics is limited, few studies reported both synergistic antagonistic effects depending type tannin method used. These could either strengthen or weaken efficacy...
Anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes produces substantial challenges to agriculture, and new strategies for nematode control livestock animals are called for. Natural compounds, including tannins, with proven anthelmintic activity could be a functional option as structurally diverse complementary compounds used alongside commercial anthelmintics. However, the dual use of two components requires an understanding pharmacological effects combination, while information...
In Finland all clinically diagnosed hepatitis C virus infections have been reported to National Infectious Disease Register (NIDR) starting at 1995. Between the years 1995 and 2011 approximately 24,000 HCV reported. Because of changed policies in reporting, same individuals may NIDR several times early stages existence. Therefore we characterized epidemiology infection who were with their social security number. This group contains nearly 20,000 whom almost 2000 foreign origin. Two-thirds...
