For now I choose to write in English, but since I become more and more part of the World Wide you might find part of me in Russian, Japanese or Mandarin. Some occasional Romanian and French too of course. But I will add the Translator button as well. Salut!

Abstract

Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of human papilloma viruses (HPV) in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and the etiologic

implication of this finding warrants further studies.  

Objective: The prevalence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and

OSMF is high in India, and the diseases are partly attributed to high consumption of betel quid containing areca nut and

tobacco. This study investigated the prevalence of HPV, herpes simplex virus (HSV), and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) DNA in

two groups of patients using betel quid with tobacco, those with OSMF (n = 12) and those with OSCC (n = 62).  

Results: HPV DNA, HSV DNA, and EBV DNA were detected in

11 (91%), 1 (8%), and 3 (25%) of the 12 samples from patients with OSMF compared with 15 (24%), 3 (5%), and 18 (29%),

respectively, from 62 patients with OSCC. HPV 16 and 18 DNA was detected in 8/12 (67%) in the OSMF group and 10/62

(16%) in the OSCC group. The difference between presence of HPV DNA in OSMF and OSCC groups was statistically

significant, while the difference between HSV and EBV DNA content in OSMF and OSCC groups was insignificant.

Keywords: Betel quid, oral squamous cell carcinoma, tobacco, areca nut

Min mamma är också latent.

I have been writing for a long time. It started with diaries and end up here on the blog.
Writing makes the doctor go away. Brain doctor especially. Not that I need any.
Writing lightens the weight of the soul to 18grams. In this space, not affected by the moon,
I can decorate the words with pictures and sort them nicely on the front page. Blogging here is not
a need of approving myself, this has already been taken care of. It is more a collection of things I want archived, memories to look back at. State of mind for each day of the year? Pictures to discover. New interests to gain to describe and illustrate.  Extremely egocentric and mind blowing if I want.
If my mother was alive she would agree. I think she even would have started a blog. Maybe she would call it Elena Manea as her maiden name, or simply Elena the Great.
My sister and I asked her if she could tell us about her life when she lived in Romania. We got intensely comprised descriptions of her childhood. Finally after 25 years we told her that she must tell us where does she come from. Who was she? Who was her family? What did she do when she was young?
My mother had a sharp tongue and was very witty. When she put it in words I could feel the whole history behind her and the country she came from. It was sharp, satiric filled with black humor that only arises from a communist culture with background of war, hunger, passion, ambition or cruel intentions.
One of her stories about her childhood, describing the summer when her mother died, ended up in Hemmets Journal. Interestingly, the writing made her express herself in a channel which hadn't been tuned in before.
When the article was published she wanted to be anonymous. Typically Elena. It makes my heart bleed, thinking of her way. Mysterious and full of secrets which she happily kept thinking how interesting it was. She told me NOT to tell everything that happens to me to EVERYONE. You should keep some secrets! she said knowing that I can't keep my mouth shut or keep anything inside.
Well, this is a secret I don't want to keep.
I am so glad I can share this. I haven't shared enough about my mother. I will not be anonymous, writing the name of my mother. I want to post her words to print her being in the life she gave, to make her live right here on this blog. I will not archive her in the basement. I will bring her up. She would have loved me writing on the blog.
It is so sad she is not here to read what I think and do. My mother lives, Elena (Manea) Bramgren is more on Latent Lucia than anywhere else. Though she would call me 'Katarina'. Maybe that is the purpose of my blog. She made it happen.

Det första jag lade märke till idag var kaffeautomatens behållare för kaffespill. Den var full med vatten och kafferester så jag hällde ut vattnet och skulle börja diska den, men då såg jag något vackert.

Kaffesump. Ser det inte ut som en tavla? Det hade lika gärna
kunnat vara micrograph av HSV Latency-associated-transcript (LAT)
from latently infected trigeminal neurons in mice. Just re-think
the borders and add some temporal and spatial dimensions,
and then you have HSV LAT right where the brown dots are.

I nyvaket tillstånd kanske, förvandlades diskbänken till kultur.

Maybe I was too focused on hearing the voices
from the coffee utensils, because the coffee would
never have been approved even on Espresso House.

My Sunday concerned mostly coffee blogging, La Tazza d'Oro.

Jag har hört att man ska ha en inriktning, ett tema på sin blogg. Jag känner mig rädd, naken och exposed. Kan ett tema vara all-inclusive? Jag kan ju inte begränsa mig till en sak. Jag startar en blogg till.
Tanken från början var ju att göra en blogg som är kopplad till herpes, på något vis, för att känna mig nyttig. The essence of Kat, nyckelord: NYTTA. Blä. Latent Lucia passade ju jättebra som namn (det gör det fortfarande), och jag ska nog hinna med en liten herpes blogg idag också, men det är ju i längden inte lika roligt att posta herpes eftersom jag fokuserar på bilder. Herpes har ju inga färger i verkligheten. Skalet betyder ingenting, utseendet ännu mindre här hos Latenta Lucia. Fast jag ger inte upp. Det MÅSTE gå att göra herpes snygg. Problemet är att herpes är smart, han går inte i klackar. Herpes är inget märke. Men så ska jag tukta en argbigga.

Idag slog det mig att jag har tröttnat på att kritisera. Det är tråkigt att kritisera. En sådan enorm befrielse för mig att få denna snilleblixt. Jag har ju spenderat hela mitt liv med att analysera och kritisera, mig själv allra först och mest. Men Katarina, ditt liv är för dyrbart. Det sägs att insekter i en dröm betyder 'invading one's space'. Någon invaderar min sfär, vem här? Anmäl dig på Followers så jag vet. Att jag har fobi mot insekter visar på en psykisk störning hos mig som yttrar sig i förvirrad panik när flugan kommer flygande. Fel, när flugan låter, och jag inte vet var den är. Arrrghhgh. Min amygdala utsöndrar hormoner som gör mig fit for fight! Hur ska det gå med fisket då? Jag är gudskelov inte rädd för dragen, dessa underbara beten. Jag tror jag nöjer mig med att skapa en kollektion. Jag tycker ändå synd om fisken.

Så söt. =) Jag vill inte använda henne. Synd om fisken och betet.
Oj, nytt tema:
Traktorer, drag och herpes. One doesn't go without the other.

I am a sponge

I am a sponge. I suck in everything I can and live in symbios with my surrounding. I am surrounded by Mykorrhiza, but I am allergic to carbs I think, so I nourish on KNOWLEDGE. I lack chlorofyll and produce fruiting bodies.

No language, music, article, experiment or art is not for me. Too bad I dont have an orchid.

I feel short

I want to get up, high up. I feel strong, motivated, womanly, happy and awesome on my heels! I go down and I am nothing. Nada-zit. But with my heels-oh boy! What is up there?? Jag måste få se vad som finns time is ticking! Jag har spenderat 37 år på att vara JAG, nu vill jag vara Demi Moore. Jag vill prova ALLT som finns att prova, jag vill lära mig ALLT som finns att lära. Alla människor som finns att träffa kommer till mig. Och när jag säger att dom ska komma, då kommer dom! Jag vill bli rik, snuskigt rik så att jag kan se vad som finns där uppe. Och sedan vill jag komma ner igen och sova. Rond två får flyger jag till månen med Ultra Light Vehicle, alternativt transformerar mig i energi in i mig själv och färdas med tiden till parallell universumet här på gatan. Inte den på bloggen, den är för liten. Smälta samman till metall och bli en traktor! Oh sweet life! I can do that. Vilken sida ska jag börja på? Interferons and other cytokines, p335 eller kanske world famous artist Latent Kat (jag får tänka ut ett namn-förslag?) makes BILLIONs of rupees, bor i Penthouse i Paris, (se sidan 4 'Bibliography of a Latent Kat').
Om jag säger att det blir så då blir det så.
Ah, det är ju 40års krisen som närmar sig! Ha =) Varför tänkte jag inte på det? Nu förstår jag. Men var är mina barn då?

Vad är det för liv?

Jag hittade honom på ett Livs. Varför sitter han

Silence killed the cat - killer blogs

Here we go again.

Right, this is my blog pics.

Egg tema idag. Det är så uppenbart. Kristi hade aldrig kommit ner om
det inte varit för Marias ägg, det är ju därför vi firar påsk.

Pasta - egg. One doesn't go without the other. Cyrano? Is a mixture of
Egg, skinka = read FLESH, oliver = beginning of life, paprika = we are strong,
cheese, tomato and bread = and all the same.

Christ the Lord came down on me

Seriously speaking, what has happened to me? For two weeks I have been happy 24/7. What is wrong with me?? I joke all the time, laugh at my own jokes and there is no better company than my own... weird. Well, to look through the things that happened around this time there was one major event taking place, and that was the starting of this blog!  So, I started blogging. If I would have known, I would have done it a long time ago, to think about all the seconds I could have saved! All the things I could have done and said! But blog frog has silenced. The words sort of got tucked in. I want to balance up now with more words. Taking pictures becomes more and more fun and I go crazy with my phone and camera. Where should I put all my pictures? I can't put them all up on this page! Can I?  It is already too much I know. Ja ja, I will practice not being picky. Not once in my entire life have I been so happy for such a continuous time, as during the past couple of weeks. I mean it, it is a MAJOR breakthrough and I dont know where it came from. It is such an eliberation!! I feel like a human being, like I should have felt my whole life but did not know how. Uff, now I have so much to catch up with and so much to say. So much to say.
