We recorded prospectively all adult patients with a fracture of the proximal end of the humerus, clavicle and scapula or a primary shoulder or acromioclavicular dislocation in the city of Malmö in 1987. Altogether there were 413 injures. The hospital records from the Department of Alcohol Diseases were searched for these patients and for 2 age- and gender-matched controls for each patient. 12% ...

As part of a structure-function analysis of the higher-plant ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase (ACP), we used a random mutagenesis approach in combination with a nove1 bacterial complementation system to isolate over 100 mutants that were defective in glycogen production (T.W. Creene, S.E. Chantler, M.L. Khan, C.F. Barry, j. Preiss, T.W. Okita [1996] Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93: 1509-1513). One mutant...

The protein encoded by the Drosophila pair-rule gene fushi tarazu (ftz) is required for the formation of the even-numbered parasegments. Here we analyze the phenotypes of ectopic expression of FTZ and FTZ protein deletions from the Tubulin alpha1 (Tubalpha1) promoter. Fusion of ftz to the Tubalpha1 promoter resulted in low-level ectopic expression of FTZ relative to FTZ expressed from the endog...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS We investigated how study design affects the rate of recovery in Bell's palsy. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. METHODS Data were extracted from the Scandinavian Bell's palsy study, which included 829 patients. The study design was factorial; 416 patients given prednisolone, 413 not given prednisolone, 413 patie...
