Depression, insomnia, cravings, and anxiety are significant often long-lasting health problems. As medication has limited effect side effects, complementary methods such as ear acupuncture used in mental care. To describe care users' experiences of acupuncture, including ratings sleep, anxiety, depression, stress, pain, cravings. This mixed study included in- outpatients at a rehabilitation service Iceland. Standardized (NADA-style) was offered complement to usual Eight participants rated...
The six types of pattern recognition molecules (PRMs) that initiate complement via the lectin pathway (LP) comprise collectins and ficolins. importance having various PRMs to LP is currently unclear. Mannan-binding (MBL) a collectin member PRMs. MBL deficiency common with mild clinical consequence. Thus, lack may be compensated for by other We hypothesized variants FCN2 + 6424 FCN3 1637delC cause gene-dose-dependent reduction in ficolin-2 ficolin-3 levels, respectively, rare MBL-deficient...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether complement activation, via the classical and alternative pathways, occurs following a cemented total hip replacement (THR) surgery due osteoarthritis. Blood samples were collected systematically from 12 patients - six male women, with median age 75 (range: 59-90 years) preoperatively, 6 h post-operatively on first, second third post-operative day. Total function (CH50) pathways (AH50) evaluated, along determination serum concentrations...
ABSTRACT We investigated the role of 5′-untranslated region between primer binding site and gag initiation codon in ovine lentivirus maedi-visna virus (MVV) genomic RNA encapsidation. identified five computer-predicted stem-loops, three which were highly conserved primary sequence structure. One stable 83-nucleotide (nt) stem-loop (SL4) was not sequence, but phylogenetic analysis revealed several base pair covariations. The deletion individual stem-loops did markedly affect relative...
Background: Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolin-3 are initiators of the pathway that is important for clearance pathogens apoptotic cells through complement activation. MBL deficiency (MBLD) has been associated with infectious complications but its clinical relevance in adults unclear. Definition MBLD commonly linked to low serum levels, mainly due functional polymorphisms MBL2 gene leading dysfunctional forms. Homozygotes alleles (O/O) have lowest levels (<50 ng/ml) a defect...
Dysregulated central tolerance predisposes to autoimmune diseases. Reduced thymic output as well compromised B cell checkpoints have been proposed in the pathogenesis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The aim this study was investigate neonatal levels T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) and kappa-deleting element (KRECs), markers T- B-cell at birth, patients with early onset JIA. TRECs KRECs were quantitated by multiplex qPCR from dried blood spots (DBS), collected 2–5 days after...
In this book, Erla Dóris Halldórsdóttir presents research on cases of leprosy in Iceland and Norway with the focus (for most parts) eighteenth nineteenth century.The author has previously published another book about subject 2002.Initially, explains what is from a medical point view, that how bacteria, Mycobacterium leprae, infects human body.However, part analyses patients have been treated taken care over centuries Iceland.This also entails ideas changed time.The trained nurse, which...
