INTRODUCTION: Administration of large volumes of fluids is associated with poor outcome in septic shock. Recent data suggest that non-resuscitation fluids are the major source of fluids in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients suffering from septic shock. The present trial is designed to test the hypothesis that a protocol targeting this source of fluids can reduce fluid administration compared w

Background: While citizen science approaches are emerging within both social and health sciences, projects aimed at improving the living conditions of older adults remain rare. To enable forward-looking housing provision for the ageing population, valid and detailed information is needed on environmental barriers in the housing stock. Moreover, to promote active ageing and avoid involuntary moves

Purpose: A new biodegradable liquid fiducial marker was devised to allow for easy insertion in lung tumors using thin needles. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the visibility of the liquid fiducial markers for image-guided radiation therapy and compare to existing solid fiducial markers and to one existing liquid fiducial marker currently commercially available. Methods: Fiducial marker v

The death of a parent is a life-changing event, and different programmes are developed to support children. This study explored how parental bereaved adolescents were included and (inter)acted in a Swedish support programme. The conducted ethnographic field study included six adolescents, their parents, and eight volunteers. The empirical material was thematically analysed through a theoretical le

Families often prefer home care to hospital care, and home-care services for ill children are increasing worldwide with limited knowledge of families’ needs during curative and palliative home care. The aim of this study was to elucidate family members’ lived experience when a sick child received home care from county-based primary healthcare services. A descriptive qualitative design was chosen a

BackgroundWorkplace sexual harassment remains a persistent issue in Sweden. Research about organisational antecedents has been criticised for being limited in scope, possibly overlooking contextual factors relevant for the occurrence of sexual harassment. This study examined two factors capturing aspects of organisational climate, perceived relational justice and authoritarian treatment, and their

Introduction: Dislocation is a major complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Dual mobility cups (DMCs) are in clinical practice for patients at risk of dislocation in primary-and revision arthroplasty. This study investigated whether changing routines from conventional THA (cTHA) to DMC for fracture patients at our orthopaedic unit resulted in a reduced disl

Background Labels for neck pain after a motor vehicle crash (MVC) influenced recovery expectations and management preferences. Research is needed to understand why these expectations and preferences varied based on the label given. Aim To explore how people perceive different labels for neck pain after an MVC. Methods We performed a content analysis of qualitative data from a randomised controlled

The Corded Ware Culture complex in Sweden involves a special form of social structure called the Battle Axe Culture. Among well-known features, such as single graves, there are also other forms of expression. A special form of find is illustrated by a place with a significant accumulation of deliberately burned or otherwise destroyed objects. This mass deposit includes both well-known object forms

Objective: To assess foetal circulating free foetal haemoglobin (fHbF) levels and heme defences, correlated to foetal circulatory biometry and foetal sex in severe early-onset foetal growth restriction (FGR). Design, Setting and Population: A prospective study severe early-onset foetal growth restriction pregnancies with close clinical management (estimated foetal weight (EFW) < 3rd centile and <

Background: Palliative care (PC) can alleviate suffering and improve quality of life. Yet, disparities persist, particularly in Honduras. Training efforts in PC for non-health caregivers have proven to reduce burnout and stress while enhancing the quality of life for both caregivers and patients. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the feasibility of a PC training program for non-health caregiver

BACKGROUND: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in neuronal development and neural connectivity, and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However, its predictive value for MDD onset remains unclear. This study examined whether baseline BDNF levels are associated with incident MDD in middle-aged women.MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this

Someone who throws away their rubbish on a street-corner or in a ditch is guilty of sloth. This may appear harmless, but seen through the lens of waste management, sloth soon develops into a deadly sin that harms other people’s lives and health. Hiding and forgetting waste has always been a practice with potentially disastrous consequences; buried containers full of toxins will eventually start to

Introduction Delayed palliative management (DPM) is an alternative for prostate cancer (PCa) patients with poor performance status, or those who received radical treatment but progressed and no longer meet the criteria for curative treatment. PIONEER is a large network of federated data analytic platforms in PCa that aims to improve its care through the application of big data analytics. The objec

Introduction Nutritional education intervention during pregnancy is the process of teaching pregnant women about the importance of a healthy diet and how to make healthy food choices. It is an important part of public health and vital to preventing adverse birth outcomes. Therefore, synthesising available evidence on the effect of nutritional education intervention on birth outcomes is essential f

This paper considers the ways in which research projects linger beyond their ‘official’ endings, and how to deal with this. Building on conversations in human geography and related disciplines on slow research, performed endings, and the practical and socio-political complexities of data storage and analysis over time, I relate some experiences with my research on the Finnish Saimaa Ringed Seal, w

My project sets off in the exploration of public spaces and new programmes emerging after the COVID-19 pandemic. The way we look at functions such as offices and retail has changed a lot during the past year. How will an office function compared to working from home? How will stores and retail function compared to e-commerce? I believe that the way we use these programmes will change, and togeth

4 juni 2026 19:00 till 5 juni 2026 10:00 | Konsert, Seminarium How does artistic research on time transforms into an exploration of motion and near-silent compositions, looking into the secret life of a piano as a possibly renewed creation tool? PhD student at the Malmö Academy of Music, composer and sound artist Yann Coppier investigates this question through a concert and a 50% PhD seminar.Conce
