How Do We Treat the Super-Elderly with Distal Radius Fractures and What is the Outcome? A Register Study in 239 Patients of 80 years or olderLinnea Sara Arvidsson, MD; Ellen Lööf, Bachelor of Medicine; Antonio Abramo, PhD; Magnus Tägil, PhDLund University, Lund, SwedenIntroductionWith a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super elderly group. BasiIntroductionWith a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super elderly group. Basic knowledge of outcome after fracture in this heterogenic group is absent. Our aim was to use our prospective distal radius fracture register to study the super-elderly patients with distal radius fractures. We hypothesized that the health status of the patient, rather

Purpose: Direct laryngoscopy (DL) is the standard technique for endotracheal intubation. Video-assisted laryngoscopy (VL) has emerged as an alternative, particularly for difficult airway management. Nevertheless, DL and VL have not been systematically compared for simulation-based endotracheal intubation by inexperienced operators. Method: A prospective, randomized cross-over study was carried out

BackgroundRight ventricular–pulmonary arterial (RV–PA) uncoupling is central to prognosis in precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH). While the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion tosystolic pulmonary artery pressure (TAPSE/sPAP) ratio is an established bedside surrogate of RV–PA coupling, novel energetic markers such as three-dimensional (3D)–derived right ventricular (RV) global wasted w

BACKGROUND: Tumour deposits are an important prognostic factor in colorectal cancer. In tumour node metastasis (TNM)8, the definition became stricter as TNM7's previous requirement for absence of lymphatic tissue was expanded to also include nerve and vascular tissue. TNM8 has been criticised for its limited prognostic value. This study aimed to compare prognostic differences for patients with col

Background:With a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super-elderly (>80 years) group. In previous published studies regarding mortality after wrist fractures elderly are often defined using a rather wide age-span, the threshold has been set to somewhere between 50-70 years. However, elderly defined as a group this way is probably too imprecise. D

In this study, I have examined the Cathars’ understanding of salvation, and in particular the role that Jesus has in their idea of salvation. I do this by analysing Cathar sources from the 12th and 13th centuries to which I apply a hermeneutical theory and method. Throughout my analysis I examined the source material individually and identified salvation themes that previous scholars have identifi

I ett aktiebolag har aktieägarna inte något personligt betalningsansvar för bolagets förpliktelser, vilket framgår av 1 kap. 3 § aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (ABL). Ak- tieägarnas frihet från personligt betalningsansvar balanseras av lagregler som skyd- dar bolagets borgenärer. I doktrin och förarbeten har det även diskuterats om ak- tieägare eller andra trots huvudregeln i 1 kap. 3 § ABL, med stödIn a limited liability company, shareholders do not have personal liability for the company’s obligations, as stated in Chapter 1, Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) (ABL). Shareholders’ exemption from personal liability is balanced by statutory rules protecting the company’s creditors. In doctrine and preparatory works, it has also been discussed whether shareholders or others, des

Utmattning har under de senaste åren blivit en av de vanligaste orsakerna till sjukfrånvaro i Sverige, vilket medför konsekvenser på såväl individuell som organisatorisk och samhällsekonomisk nivå. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur upplevda arbetskrav, kontroll, socialt stöd och prestationsbaserad självkänsla (PBS) påverkar risken för utmattning bland yrkesverksamma i Sverige. Data samladesIn recent years, exhaustion disorder has become one of the most common causes of sick leave in Sweden, leading to consequences at individual, organizational and socioeconomic levels. The aim of this study was to investigate how perceived work demands, control, social support and performance-based self-esteem (PBSE) affect the risk of exhaustion among working people in Sweden. Data was collected th

This paper explores identity, personhood and sickness through a postcolonial lens in regards to the literary pop-cultural zombie in the 21st century. The zombie figure is studied in regards to theories of "the other" and "othering" as well as sociological and literary theories about illness, the paper thus falls within the field of medical humanities. Questions about identity,

Quantum mechanics forbids perfect discrimination of non-orthogonal states, a limitation that can be exploited to certify intrinsic randomness. Building on this principle, this thesis investigates how limits on state discrimination can be used to generate certified randomness in prepare-and-measure protocols. In particular, we study how the performance of minimum-error quantum state discrimination

Studiens huvudsakliga syfte är att undersöka hur HR-personal i praktiken hanterar och skapar tillit till AI-baserade system samt hur detta samspel påverkar HR professionen, legitimitet och kommunikation inom organisationen. Genom att belysa HR:s roll bidrar studien till en djupare förståelse för hur yrkesrollen omformas i en digitaliserad värld. Studien utgår från ett interpretativt perspektiv med

Observation is an important component of research to examine complex social settings and is well-established for studying courtroom dynamics and judicial behaviour. However, the many activities occurring at once and the multiple participants, lay and professional, make it impossible for a sole researcher to observe and understand everything occurring in the courtroom.

In the Law and Emotion field, the integration of reason and emotion finds support in empirical research. Legal practice, however, still maintains that ‘rational, objective’ law is devoid of emotion. This raises the question of how to incorporate the divide itself in a theoretical understanding of the role of emotions in legal practice.
