Context. The structures of the outer atmospheres of red giants are very complex. Recent interpretations of a range of different observations have led to contradictory views of these regions. It is clear, however, that classical model photospheres are inadequate to describe the nature of the outer atmospheres. The notion of large optically thick molecular spheres around the stars (MOLspheres) has b

OBJECTIVE: Screening of hypertension has been advocated for early detection and treatment. Severe hypertension (grade 3 hypertension) is a strong predictor for cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to evaluate not only the risk factors for developing severe hypertension, but also the prospective morbidity and mortality risk associated with severe hypertension in a population-based screening and

Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood and adolescence with an increasing incidence worldwide. It is an autoimmune disease with many autoimmune markers, where the zinc transporter 8 autoantibody (ZnT8A) is the most recent autoantibody discovered. The most important genetic susceptibility towards type 1 diabetes is found within the HLA-region on chromosome 6. We sho

BACKGROUND: The ankle region is frequently involved in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) but difficult to examine clinically due to its anatomical complexity. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of ultrasonography (US) of the ankle and midfoot (ankle region) in JIA. Doppler-US detected synovial hypertrophy, effusion and hyperemia and US was used for guidance of steroid injection and to

Resistance to antibiotics is a major threat to the effectiveness of modern health care. This study examines if pay-for-performance (P4P) to care providers stimulates the appropriate use of antibiotics; in particular, if P4P can induce a substitution away from broad-spectrum antibiotics, which contribute more to the development of resistance, to less resistance-driving types. In the context of Swed

During the fall of 2012, a social service center in Sweden re-organized their social assistance organization. From having three teams, where two teams consisted of one kind of an occupational group and the third one of another occupational group, the organization today exists of two teams with both occupational groups in each team. The aim of this study was to find out and see how the collaboratio

Mobile payments have become an increasingly hot topic due to the wide availability of smartphones and mobile internet on the Swedish market. Banks have historically enjoyed a monopoly position in payments, but have recently seen new entrants contending for a share of the market as payments go mobile. Mobile operators, technology companies, and merchants all want to join the mobile payments space i

The thesis focuses on multi-physics simulation of a gas inflator for inflation of airbags. The need of multi physics simulations extends to many other engineering and industrial applications and has become an extensive area of research. Main focus is on the Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) within the field of multi-physics or coupled physics simulation. The purpose is to study the flow, the membr

Cardiotography, CTG, is a monitoring method that is commonly used during childbirth. The method measures the fetal heart rate, FHR, alongside the uterine contractions, TOCO. Clinicians use this tool to evaluate the health of the infant, and to observe changes which might imply hypoxia, lack of oxygen supply, for the fetus. However, abnormalities in the CTG are often non-specific, making the interp

Orkanen i Malmö är en universitetsbyggnad som består av fem tillgängliga våningsplan och ett källarplan. Det finns även våning sex och sju, de är dock inte är tillgängliga för studenter eller allmänheten. Genom platsbesök, tillgänglig litteratur kopplat till anläggningen och genom en kontaktperson utvärderas brandskyddet i Orkanen ur ett personsäkerhets perspektiv. Utvärderingen sker genom att möjThe purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety of the university building Orkanen Malmö as an educational part of the course Fire Risk Assessment (VBRN70) at Lund University (LTH). Limited to the safety of occupants in the building, the report does not take economic or structural damage into account. To begin with, the building was investigated during a guided tour where photographs wer

Background. Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) is a common complaint but risk factors for NVP are not well characterized. Methods. Occurrence of NVP was studied by questionnaires given to pregnant women at their first visit to the antenatal care unit and were returned around gestational week 28. Results. Analysis of 3675 completed questionnaires was made. Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy was

The fermentability of indigestible carbohydrates and content of short-chain fatty acids along the hindgut of rats were investigated using plant materials of importance in the Swedish diet (instant potato powder, apples and oat flakes). Results with the composite food products were compared with commercial fibre fractions obtained from similar sources, ie potato fibre, apple pectin and beta-glucan-

Introduction: Fenestrated aortic stent-grafts are increasingly being used to treat patients with juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AM). Sizing of these stent-grafts is critical to ensure success and requires detailed expert assessment of aortic morphology. At present little is known about how sizing of these stent-grafts varies between observers and the necessary tolerances involved to ensure

Background: Continuous abstinence and retention in treatment for alcohol and drug use disorders are central challenges for the treatment providers. The literature has failed to show consistent, strong predictors of retention. Predictors and treatment structure may differ across treatment modalities. In this study the structure was reinforced by the addition of supervised urine samples three times

Background and objective: The pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid (MPA) are complex, with large interindividual variability over time. There are also well documented interactions with ciclosporin, and assessment of MPA exposure is therefore necessary when reducing or stopping ciclosporin therapy. Here we report on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behaviour of MPA in renal transplant patie
