Beginning in the late 20th century, public libraries in Sweden have been offering its patrons the opportunity to check out films just as they would books. Taking place over the last decade, however, the methods by which we predominantly consume films have gone through major changes – mainly caused by our increased digital presence and, more importantly, the extensive development of popular streami

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling studeras den akuta inflammatoriska reaktionen i huden. Akut inflammation beskrevs redan under romersk tid av Aulus Cornelius Celsus. Han karakteriserade denna reaktion med rodnad, svullnad, värme och smärta. Fysiologiskt består akut inflammation av vidgning av små blodkärl (vasodilatation) som ger upphov till rodnad samt av läckage av plasmaproteiner This thesis examines the microvascular inflammatory response in the skin. The microvascular response includes vasodilatation and plasma exudation. In the first three studies, the combined response was measured in guinea pig skin with a technique based on detection of radiolabelled protein. Transferrin was labelled in vivo by injection of 113mIn and the conversion electrons detected over the skin u

OBJECTIVES. To compare family physicians' reported practice habits on hypertension in Sweden and Minnesota, and to assess to what extent different national guidelines account for differences. DESIGN. Random samples of family physicians were selected for telephone interviews on their practice of hypertension. SETTING. Primary care in southern Sweden and in Minnesota. SUBJECTS. Family medicine speci

The antithrombotic effect of bovine activated protein C (bAPC) given with or without bovine protein S (bPS) was investigated in a rat model of deep arterial injury. A segment of the left common carotid artery was isolated between vascular clamps and opened longitudinally. An endarterectomy was performed and the arteriotomy was closed with a running suture, whereafter the vessel was reperfused by r

Purpose: The beneficial effects of antimuscarinics on detrusor overactivity and overactive bladder syndrome are exerted during bladder filling, when there is no parasympathetic outflow from the spinal cord. We tested the hypothesis that, if tolterodine exerts some of its effects on afferent nerves, the functional elimination of C-fiber afferents should affect the actions of the drug on urodynamic

Background: Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. To date there are no reliable methods to detect which infants will develop brain damage after asphyxia insult. We investigated whether measurements of urine levels of S100B in asphyxiated full-term newborns maybe a useful tool for early detection of post-asphyxia brain damage. Methods: A prospective study of 38 infants wit

Background: The combination of the new high sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) assays and copeptin, a biomarker of endogenous stress, has been suggested to have the potential of early rule-out of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to examine the ability of this combination to rule out ACS in patients presenting with chest pain and to compare the diagnostic performance to hsTnT al

PURPOSE: A Swedish and Norwegian study was designed to examine health-related quality of life (HQL) in patients with head and neck cancer (head and neck) at diagnosis and during treatment and rehabilitation. The overall aim was to examine the impact on HQL at diagnosis depending on tumor location, stage, sex, and age (part I) and to describe HQL longitudinally and determine for which patients and

Background: Foods with a low glycemic index are increasingly being acknowledged as beneficial in relation to the insulin resistance syndrome. Certain organic acids can lower the glycemic index of bread products. However, the possible effect of acids in fermented milk products on the glycemic index and on insulinemic characteristics has not been addressed. The metabolic effects of fermented milk or

Objective: To evaluate direct asthma-related costs in Swedish primary care in a real-life setting. Design: 12-month open-label study. Setting: Swedish primary care in a real-life setting. Participants: 1776 patients with persistent asthma. Interventions: Patients with persistent asthma were randomised to one of three treatments: a free adjustable combination of budesonide (100-400 mu g/inhalation)

Cigarette smoke exposure increases the risk of stroke. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Endothelin system plays key roles in the pathogenesis of stroke. The present study was designed to examine if lipid-soluble (dimethyl sulfoxide-soluble) cigarette smoke particles (DSP) induces upregulation of contractile endothelin type B (ETB) receptors in rat cerebral arteri

Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are considered to be associated with different degrees of progressive beta cell damage. However, few long-term studies have been made. Our aim was to study the clinical course of 20 years of diabetes disease, including diabetes progression, comorbidity, and mortality in a prospectively studied cohort of consecutively diagnosed diabetic patients. Among all 233 patien

Disperse dyes are the most common allergens among textile dyes. It is not known whether the purified dyes, impurities in the commercial dyes, or metabolites are the actual sensitisers. Moreover, it is not known whether those disperse dyes that are now present in test series are actually used in textile dyeing today. The aim of this thesis was A) to evaluate the significance of the impurities foun

This study investigated genetic causes of Parkinson's disease (PD) and parkinsonism in southern Sweden. The extensive Lister Family with parkinsonism caused by duplications and triplications of the gene for alpha-synuclein (SNCA) was studied. Clinical, genetic and genealogical data were compiled and evaluated. Thirty-five family members with parkinsonism were identified. They share a characteristi

Six glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 13 members, classified under the polyspecific neopullulanase subfamily GH13_20 (also termed cyclomaltodextrinase) were analysed. They originate from thermophilic bacterial strains (Anoxybacillus flavithermus, Laceyella sacchari, and Geobacillus thermoleovorans) or from environmental DNA, collected after in situ enrichments in Icelandic hot springs. The genes wer

Objective: This study evaluated the tolerability and efficacy of inhaled AZD4818, a CCR1 antagonist, in patients with COPD. Methods: This double-blind, placebo-controlled study (NCT00629239) randomised patients with moderate to severe COPD to AZD4818 300 mu g or placebo twice daily via Turbuhaler (R) for 4 weeks. Safety, lung function, functional capacity and health status measures were measured.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Introduktion: Validitet handlar enkelt uttryckt om överensstämmelse med sanningen eller exempelvis om ett instrument mäter det som är avsett. Validitet kan också ses som ett mer komplext begrepp, innefattande aspekter som nytta, relevans, värderingar och sociala konsekvenser. Validitet förutsätter reliabilitet som är ett mått på tillförlitlighet, noggrannhet eller reproAbstract Introduction: Validity is important at different levels in psychiatry. Valid structured instruments are important aids in screening and diagnostics, in both research and clinical practice. An aim of the diagnostic procedure is to yield valid diagnoses. Ultimately, the validity of structured instruments (non-empirical) and clinical diagnoses depends on the validity of the diagnostic class

SIZE MATTERS: ON DIACHRONIC STABILITY AND PARAMETER SIZE Theresa Biberauer 1,2 & Ian Roberts 1 University of Cambridge 1 and Stellenbosch University 2 The focus of diachronic syntax has been on documenting and analyzing recorded instances of change. In a parametric model, this means trying to observe, describe and explain cases of parametric change. However, if change is viewed as abductive reanal
