Intermodality or combining more than one transport mode during a single trip has been put forward to facilitate a modal shift from private car to more environmentally friendly modes such as public transport, cycling or walking. Bike-and-ride – that is, integrating cycling and public transport in one trip – is an attractive combination, as cycling as an active and clean mode is faster than walking
Background: In patients on hemodialysis with end-stage renal disease there is an increasing interest in measuring both residual renal function (RRF) and quantity and quality of dialysis because insufficient dialysis gives higher mortality. For that purpose we have measured clearances of two urographic iodine (I) contrast media (CM) with different molecular masses (iohexol 821 u and iodixanol 1,550
A therapeutic removal of antibodies may be achieved by immunoadsorption (IA) or by plasma exchange (PE). The aim of this prospective randomised study was to compare the efficacy of these different techniques with regard to treatment of patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPG) having at least 50% crescents. Forty-four patients with a RPG were included for treatment either by IA or
Objective and design. A retrospective study of the incidence of contrast‐medium‐induced nephropathy (CMN) in patients with renal insufficiency.Subjects. All angiographies with and without endovascular therapeutic procedures (n=2400) performed at the hospital during 1 year were evaluated. A total of 139 patients were found to have a preangiographic serum‐creatinine (s‐Cr) of 150 μmol L–1 or above.
Objectives To study if elevated platelet levels are found in early and late diabetic nephropathy.Design A retrospective study was performed of platelet count in different subgroups of patients with insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus, including patients with long and short duration of diabetes and with early signs of nephropathy. Patients with severe renal failure subjected to renal transplantatio
BACKGROUND: Glibenclamide (Gb) may provoke long-lasting hypoglycaemic reactions, and one of the known risk factors is impaired renal function. We have demonstrated Gb to have a terminal elimination half-life of 15 h, and the main metabolites have a hypoglycaemic effect. With few exceptions, detailed studies on second generation sulphonylureas in diabetics with impaired renal function are lacking.
The aim of this study was to characterize the magnitude and duration of the antidiuretic effects elicited by desmopressin given in hemostatic dosage intravenously (i.v.) (0.3 microg/kg) or intranasally (i.n.) (300 microg) both as single or repeated doses (four i.n. doses with 12-hr intervals) to healthy volunteers. Urine osmolality increased to a maximum median value of 1,087 mOsmol/kg after the s
The present study examined the agreement between single and multiple sample plasma clearance of iohexol, a non-ionic contrast agent, in renal failure. Sixty-five patients with varying degree of renal insufficiency received 10 ml iohexol (300 mg I/ml) i.v. and plasma samples were collected four times during the following 3-24 h. Plasma-iodine concentrations were determined by X-ray fluorescence. Pr

The workshop will focus on what first-year students to higher education needs to be successful and how a peer learning programme might address those needs. (~5 min for introduction)The workshop will start with a brainstorm session where participants in small groups will share thoughts and ideas on the question (~20 min for activity): “What would you like to affect with your new students? Provide s
SI-PASS is an academic assistance program that provides help for students in “difficult” courses, often introductory courses for first-year students. The idea behind SI is that learning a subject is enhanced by an exchange of thoughts and ideas between students. The goal is to make the students become active and independent learners that sees peers as a learning resource. SI-PASS is connected to a
This presentation focus on quantitative long-term effects of SI in terms of graduation rates. One of the main aims of SI is to introduce students to efficient study strategies and techniques. If SI is introduced at an early stage for new students in higher education, it is therefore likely that this action promotes timely graduation. This has also been indicated in studies at two US universities –
The workshop focuses on what data is needed to ensure the quality of your peer learning scheme and how to get it. You will work in groups with colleagues having similar peer learning schemes to your own (or a scheme you are planning for). The group work will center on questions like “Why evaluate your peer learning scheme?”, “Who might have interest in the evaluation data?”, and “What and how to e
