Purpose: The purpose of this case-control study was to investigate the associations between maternal serum concentrations of vitamin D early in pregnancy and the occurrence of preterm birth. Methods: The study included 269 women (cases) whose children were born preterm (< 37 gestational weeks [gw]) and 332 women (controls) whose children were born term (≥ 37 gw). Among the cases, 59 were extreme p
BACKGROUND: Insufficient knowledge among assistant nurses (ANs) in nursing homes (NHs) on medicines and drug-related problems (DRPs) in older people causes difficulties in acknowledging the side effects of medications, which can be harmful to the individual and endangers patient safety. The aim of this study was to explore the ANs' thoughts on their professional role in preventing DRPs in NH resid
Background: Lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is common in emergency departments (EDs) and can be fatal if left untreated due to the risk of progression to pulmonary embolism (PE). In Scandinavia, DVT diagnosis typically relies on ultrasound performed outside the ED in the diagnostic departments. However, international guidelines now recommend combining limited/proximal compression ultrasound
Background: Little is known regarding treatment with cangrelor during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of such cangrelor treatment during PCI in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Met
Although bottom water hypoxia (O2 −1) is presently widespread in the Baltic Sea coastal zone, there is a lack of insight into past changes in bottom water oxygen in these areas on timescales of millennia, and the possible driving factors. Here, we present a sediment-based environmental reconstruction of surface water productivity, salinity and bottom water oxygen for the past 5400 years at Gåsfjär
Prospective studies examining the association between coffee and tea consumption and gastric cancer risk have shown inconsistent results. We investigated the association between coffee (total, caffeinated and decaffeinated) and tea consumption and the risk of gastric cancer by anatomical site and histological type in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study. Coffee an
im To describe the population of patients with previously diagnosed peripheral artery disease (PAD) experiencing a myocardial infarction (MI) and to investigate 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE: all-cause mortality, reinfarction, stroke and heart failure hospitalisation) following MI.Background MI patients with PAD constitute a high-risk population with adverse cardiac outcomes. Contempor
Background: Overweight is reported as a side effect of SDR. The aims were to study the development of weight, height and body mass index (BMI) during five years after SDR. Methods: This prospective, longitudinal and practice-based study included all 56 children with CP spastic diplegia undergoing SDR from the start in March 1993 to April 2003 in our hospital. The preoperative Gross Motor Function
The protein biomarker vitellogenin in fish is discussed alongside alterative strategies for monitoring of endocrine disrupting chemicals. The first objective was to find a cheap, robust and generic method for the quantification of vitellogenin. A new sample preparation method was developed for the indirect quantification of vitellogenin through alkali-labile phosphate (ALP) with final analysis usi
This paper deals with new forms of political mobilisation and participation in social media, such as blogs, social network sites and the likes. The main focus is on the impor-tance of social networks in providing a “media filter”, functioning as a kind of collective gatekeeper to spread news and information perceived as important, in contrast to the image of the single individual media consumer fa
Background: A knee-medial-to foot position (KMFP) during functional tasks has been identified as a risk factor for Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) -injury among women. Among ACLinjured subjects, a reduced sensory and proprioceptive function has been correlated with a KMFP during functional tasks. The most reliable measure of proprioception seems to be the measuring of a subject’s Threshold to Det
Internet har blivit ett brottsverktyg som gjort det möjligt för förövare att genomföra sexuella övergrepp mot barn. Högsta domstolen meddelade år 2015 en dom som innebar att sexuella övergrepp kan begås på distans. Domen medförde att sexualbrott inte länge skulle betraktas som egenhändiga brott och en gärningsman kunde därmed dömas till ansvar om personen förmått brottsoffret att utföra den sexuelInternet has become a crime tool that makes it possible for perpetrators to carry out sexual assault of children. In 2015 the Supreme Court delivered a verdict, that sexual assault can be committed without a physical meeting. The verdict meant that sexual offense would no longer be regarded as a self-perpetuating crime, a perpetrator could be held responsible for the sexual act that the victim is
How to best organize the social services unit of individual and family care (IFO) has been in question since the 1980ies. Two principal ways of organization have been used, called integrated and specialized organization. In an integrated organization, the social secretary works with all parts of the clients' problem picture. This structure used to be the norm but is today only employed by a fe
One way for manufacturing companies to gain competitive advantage in today’s business environment is to complement the product offering with surrounding services that deliver superior value to the customer. Further, the demand for these surrounding services is influenced by market-specific customer requirements, surrounding competitive environment and local prerequisites. Therefore, there is a nee
Återfall i brottslighet har under alla tider varit ett vanligt förekommande problem. Unga personer, dömda till sluten ungdomsvård, löper på grund av sin låga ålder extra stor risk att återfalla i brott. Svensk statistik uppvisar att så många som 60 procent återfaller i brottslighet redan inom ett års tid. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vilka orsaker som kan hänföras till återfall i brottslighet ef
Barnets bästa är ett begrepp som funnits i svensk lagstiftning sedan lång tid tillbaka, men med tiden har barnperspektivet blivit alltmer framträdande. Perspektivet handlar om att utgå från barnets synvinkel, lyssna på barnet och respektera barnets integritet. 1998 infördes en övergripande bestämmelse i FB rörande barnets bästa. Bestämmelsens ordalydelse har sedan dess kommit att ändras för att ty
