Lunds universitet har anmodats att ge synpunkter på rubricerad remiss. Lunds universitet konstaterar att promemorian inte uppfyller de mest elementära krav på samhällsekonomisk analys som kan ställas på en offentlig utredning. Slutsatserna sakar tydligt stöd i ekonomisk teori och empiri.
Endwall film cooling upstream of the leading edge (LE) of a vane presents a relatively complex flow phenomenon due to the horseshoe vortices (HVs) generated at the LE region. Upstream of the LE region, the coolant flow has difficulties to eject out. This research work focuses on controlling the jet holes coolant coverage upstream of the LE region. Compound angle holes in staggered arrangement are
Introduction Head and neck cancer of unknown primary (HNCUP) is a rare condition whose prognostic factors that are significant for survival vary between studies. No randomized treatment study has been performed thus far, and the optimal treatment is not established. Objective The present study aimed to explore various prognostic factors and compare the two main treatments for HNCUP: neck dissectio
Background: No previous paediatric study has evaluated the frequency of diagnostic disagreement between clinical standard histopathological assessment (CSHA) and retrospective, independent, histopathological assessment (RIHA) of gastrointestinal Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GI-GVHD). Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, based on gastrointestinal biopsies collected from allogeneic HSCT-treated c
The EC Directive 2013/59/Euratom states in article 56 that exposures of target volumes in nuclear medicine treatments shall be individually planned and their delivery appropriately verified. The Directive also mentions that medical physics experts should always be appropriately involved in those treatments. Although it is obvious that, in nuclear medicine practice, every nuclear medicine physician
The pharmaceutical approach to skin disease has been hugely successful, but despite effective drugs being available and used, there are still vast numbers of people who continue to have some level of persisting skin disease and continue to experience quality of life (QoL) impairment. So the question that needs to be answered, while we await further advances in our drug-based armamentarium, is how
Background: Patients in the late stages of parkinsonism are highly dependent on others in their self-care and activities of daily living. However, few studies have assessed the physical, psychological and social consequences of caring for a person with late-stage parkinsonism. Patients and methods: Five hundred and six patients and their caregivers from the Care of Late Stage Parkinsonism (CLaSP)
Vitamin D (Vit-D), an essential nutrient, interacts with different drugs including chemotherapeutic agents like busulphan, an alkylating agent used for conditioning prior to stem cell transplantation. The correlation between Vit-D plasma levels and busulphan clearance was investigated in an uncontrolled prospective study in patients and mice. Plasma 25(OH)D levels were measured and busulphan pharm
BACKGROUND: The area of hospital readmission in older adults within 30 days of discharge is extensively researched but few studies look at the whole process. In this study we investigated risk factors related, not only to patient characteristics prior to and events during initial hospitalisation, but also to the processes of discharge, transition of care and follow-up. We aimed to identify patient
With the improvement of treatments, a growing number of survivors with childhood or adolescent central nervous system (CNS) tumor are parenting their own children. We aimed to explore the risk of somatic diseases among children of these survivors compared with population controls. Children of survivors with CNS tumor below age of 20 were identified between 1973 and 2014 by combining the several Sw
