Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent disease affecting more than 1 in 12 individuals during their lifetime. VTE is associated with a substantial disease burden due to long-term complications such as recurrence, the post-thrombotic syndrome, and the post-pulmonary embolism syndrome. Despite the knowledge of several risk factors and triggers, more than one third of the VTE events occur in the ...

Mål med studien: Denne litteraturstudien ble gjennomført for å undersøke den kliniske prestasjonen til 4 vanlige resinsementer ved sementering av onlay, kroner og broer fremstilt av oksidkeram, metallkeram og glasskeram.

Den 19. september 2012 ble det publisert en artikkel i det tyske tidsskriftet «Food and Chemical Toxicology» som vakte oppmerksomhet i store deler av verden. Artikkelen bygger på en toårig fôringsstudie med rotter og konkluderer med en antatt økt hyppighet for ulike svulstdannelser og nyrelidelser blant dyrene knyttet til den genmodifiserte maisen NK603 og plantevernmidlet Roundup som inneholder ...

It has long been hypothesized that creativity may be related to mind wandering. Recent work has shown that bodily movement is related to both creativity and mind wandering. In the current experiment, we examined the question as to whether mind wandering and creativity would be simultaneously enhanced during an active walking condition relative to an inactive control condition. The experiment included ...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a potent tool for modulating endogenous oscillations in humans. The current standard method for rTMS defines the stimulation intensity based on the evoked liminal response in the visual or motor system (e.g., resting motor threshold). The key limitation of the current approach is that the magnitude of the resulting electric field remains elusive. ...
