Background: Arm lymphedema after breast cancer surgery affects women both from physical and psychological points of view. Lymphedema leads to adipose tissue deposition. Liposuction and controlled compression therapy (CCT) reduces the lymphedema completely. Methods and Results: Sixty female patients with arm lymphedema were followed for a 1-year period after surgery. The 36-item short-form health s

Objectives To assess 2-year durability of joint contracture correction following collagenase injections for Dupuytren's disease. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Orthopaedic Department in Sweden. Participants Patients with palpable Dupuytren's cord and active extension deficit (AED) ≥30° in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and/or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. A surgeon injected 0.80 m

Aims: The aim of the study was to compare outcomes in unfractionated heparin (UFH) and bivalirudin-treated patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods and results: This observational study contained 20,612 PPCI patients treated with either UFH monotherapy or bivalirudin with or without concomitant UFH. Patients with oral anticoagulant or glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inh

Fri- och rättigheterna enligt svenska grundlagar samt Europakonventionen och EU:s rättighetsstadga har tolkats i en hel del domstolsavgöranden. I denna bok ges en överblick över den rättspraxis som finns. Generella frågor om fri- och rättigheternas förhållande till övriga typer av regler tas upp, liksom den praxis som finns inom olika delar av fri- och rättighetsskyddet: Domstolsprocessens funktio

I NJA 2016 s. 3 tillämpade Högsta domstolen mordbestämmelsen i dess nya lydelse. Högsta domstolen fann att det syfte som hade angetts i förarbetena — att skärpa straffen för mord — inte kom till uttryck i lagtexten. Högsta domstolen fortsatte därför att tillämpa det tidigare rättsläget enligt NJA 2013 s. 376. Avgörandet väcker frågor om metoden för prejudikattolkning och lagtolkning i svensk rätt,

Svensk Juristtidning har kommit ut i 100 år. Den svenska rättsordningen har under detta sekel genomgått genomgripande förändringar, men tydliga rättsliga grundstrukturer har bevarats. I denna uppsats görs ett försök att fånga vissa framträdande drag i juristtidningens innehåll och hur juristtidningen har förändrats, när det gäller både dess utformning och dess innehåll. Viktiga delar av innehållet

Om och i så fall på vilket sätt domarna är konstitutionella aktörer har varit föremål för omfattande debatter. Debatten rörande huruvida domarna kunde utöva konstitutionell kontroll över lagstiftningen övergick på 1960-talet till en debatt om närmare bestämt hur domarna skulle utöva denna kontroll. Det är en debatt som inte är avslutad; diskussionen om hur domarna ska hantera olika typer av konsti

As problems associated with shortage in resource supply arise, wastewater treatment plants turn to innovation to transform themselves into resource recovery facilities. Water groups worldwide recognize that wastewater treatment plants are no longer disposal facilities but rather sources of clean water, energy and nutrients.One of the most important resources that can be recovered from wastewater t

Background:rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 is being investigated for prevention of retinopathy of prematurity in extremely preterm infants.Methods:A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using data from phase I/II (Sections A-C) trials of rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 and additional studies in preterm infants to predict optimal dosing to establish/maintain serum IGF-1 within physiological intrauterine levels. In S

Objective: Most studies suggest that poor cognitive functioning in adolescence increases risk of alcohol use disorders (AUDs). We seek to clarify the causes of this association. Method: In Swedish individuals born from 1972 to 1990 in whom cognitive functioning was assessed by school achievement at age 16 years (males and females, N = 1,796,048) and by IQ at ages 18–20 (males, N = 554,644), we exa

BACKGROUND: The amount of resources, particularly prepaid resources, available for health can affect access to health care and health outcomes. Although health spending tends to increase with economic development, tremendous variation exists among health financing systems. Estimates of future spending can be beneficial for policy makers and planners, and can identify financing gaps. In this study,

BACKGROUND: An adequate amount of prepaid resources for health is important to ensure access to health services and for the pursuit of universal health coverage. Previous studies on global health financing have described the relationship between economic development and health financing. In this study, we further explore global health financing trends and examine how the sources of funds used, typ

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Psychological symptoms can be associated with celiac disease; abstract however, this association has not been studied prospectively in a pediatric cohort. We examined mother report of psychological functioning in children persistently positive for tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (tTGA), defined as celiac disease autoimmunity (CDA), compared with children without C

P-wave morphology correlates with the risk for a trial fibrillation (AF). Left atrial (LA) enlargement could explain both the higher risk for AF and higher P-wave terminal force (PTF) in ECG lead V1. However, PTF-V1 has been shown to correlate poorly with LA size. We hypothesize that LA hypertrophy, i.e. a thickening of the myocardial wall, also contributes to increased PTF-V1 and is part of the r

A short peripheral intravenous catheter or cannula (PIVC) is frequently used to deliver chemotherapy in oncology practice. Although safe and easy to insert, PIVCs do fail, leading to personal discomfort for patients and adding substantially to treatment costs. As the procedure of peripheral catheterization is invasive, there is a need for greater consistency in the choice, insertion and management
