Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of celiac disease in children and adolescents with Down syndrome.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-three children and adolescents with Down syndrome were screened for IgA-antigliadin antibodies (AGA) and IgA-antiendomysium antibodies (EMA). Patients found to be either AGA- or EMA-positive were investigated further with intestinal biopsy.RESULTS: None of the 43 patients had known celiac disease at entry into the study; 37% (16/43) were found to have AGA levels above normal, and 16% (7/43) to be EMA-positive. Of the 15 patients who underwent biopsy, 8 manifested villous atrophy. Villous atrophy was present in all 7 of the EMA-positive patients, whereas the villi were normal in 7 of the 13 AGA-positive patients who underwent biopsy.CONCLUSIONS: EMA is a good immunologic marker for use in screening for celiac disease, and screening is justified in patients with Down syndrome.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in children and adolescents at diagnosis of insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) before insulin treatment was started. Material and Methods. At diagnosis of IDDM, and before treatment was started, 115 children and adolescents were screened for IgA-antiendomysium (EMA) and IgA-antigliadin antibodies (AGA). Those found to be EMA-positive and/or AGA- positive were investigated further with intestinal biopsy. Results. Of the 115 patients, 2 had known CD at diagnosis of IDDM; of the remainder of patients, 6% (7/113) were found to be EMA-positive and 9% (10/113) were found to have AGA levels above normal. Of the 6 patients who underwent biopsy, 5 manifested villous atrophy. In addition, 2 patients with high EMA and AGA antibody titers refused biopsy, and 4 patients with low EMA and/or AGA titers were found to have normal titers at control before biopsy decision. Conclusion. Because the prevalence of CD at diagnosis of IDDM would seem to be 6% to 8%, screening for CD seems to be justified among patients with newly diagnosed IDDM.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The libels written against queen Christina of Sweden are analyzed,and compared to the libels against cardinal Mazarin. Christina is accused of sexual misbehaviour, Mazarin is not. The rules governing the female conduct is clearly different from the rules governing male conduct.

Nationell miljöövervakning av luft- och nederbördskemi
- 1997
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I föreliggande rapport redovisas resultat från 1995 års mätningar av luftens och nederbördens sammansättning i bakgrundsmiljö i Sverige. Rapporten redovisar mätresultat från de båda nationella övervakningsnäten EMEP-nätet och Luft- och nederbördskemiska nätet. I rapporten redovisas även de spridnings- och depositionberäkningar som gjorts med MATCH-modellen, med 1995 års mätresultat som grund. Tidigare år har mätresultat och modellberäkningar rapporterats i tre skilda rapporter, men har här samlats i en rapport. Samtliga mätningar drivs av IVL, på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket, med undantag av ozonmätningarna i Aspvreten som genomförs av ITM. Modellberäkningarna med MATCH-Sverige har utförts av SMHI. Verksamheten finansieras av Miljöövervakningsenheten vid Naturvårdsverket. I rapportens bilagor redovisas provtagnings- och analysmetoder, mätprogram och kvalitetssäkringsrutiner utförligt. Denna samlade redovisning av information rörande mätverksamheten är tänkt att fungera som referens till kommande årsrapporter.

Abundance and species richness patterns of predaceous diving beetles (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae) in Swedish lakes
- 1994

In: Journal of Biogeography. - 0305-0270 .- 1365-2699. - 0305-0270 ; 21:2, s. 197-206

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abundance and species richness of dytiscid water beetles were estimated with activity traps in ten lakes each in south, central and north Sweden. Partial least square regression models with two significant components explained 76.5% and 55.8% of the total variance in dytiscid abundance and species richness, respectively. For abundance as well as species richness, component 1 had its highest positive loadings for structural complexity of vegetation and abundance of Asellus and Diptera immatures, and high negative loadings for relative shore depth. Component 2 had its highest positive loadings for fish abundance, number of dipterans in emergence traps and relative shore depth, and high negative loadings for lake area. Both the number of dytiscid individuals and species were higher in the northern lakes than in the two other regions. Smaller species were not more abundant in the traps than larger ones. Species mean abundance was positively correlated with number of lakes occupied.
