Methods This was a longitudinal, retrospective, population registerbased, case-control study. The ID group included 7,936 people aged 55+ who in 2012 received services according to the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments, and who were classified with ID from birth or early age. An equally large matched control group was selected from the Swedish Po...

The frequency of the CYP2D6B allele of the gene for debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase was studied in 115 patients with sporadic idiopathic Parkinson's disease, 55 of their healthy siblings, 63 patients with familial Parkinson's disease, 55 unaffected relatives, and 92 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 73 age matched healthy controls. By contrast with several previous studies, no significant variat...

Overexpression of the conserved Ca(2+)-binding proteins calreticulin and calsequestrin impairs cardiac function, leading to premature death. Calreticulin is vital for embryonic development, but also impairs glucocorticoid action. Glucocorticoid overexposure during late fetal life causes intra-uterine growth retardation and programmed hypertension in adulthood. To determine whether intra-uterine...

Epidemiological studies, especially cohort studies have many limitations in countries like India. The present population based molecular epidemiolohgical cohort study was planned to address the prevalence, risk factors and natural history of uterine cervical HPV infection in women in an area of suburban dwellings in South India. Epidemiological data, blood samples and cervical scrape smears wer...
