An objective method for the pre-operative diagnosis and the post-operative assessment of a presumed perilymphatic fistula (PLF) using transtympanic electrocochleography is presented. Three cases are reported in which the history of the disease and the symptoms strongly suggested the presence of a PLF. Pre-operative transtympanic electrocochleography (TT ECoG) recordings at rest showed changes simi
Background: Ovarian cancer early detection markers CA125, CA15.3, HE4, and CA72.4 vary between healthy women, limiting their utility for screening. Methods: We evaluated cross-sectional relationships between lifestyle and reproductive factors and these markers among controls (n = 1910) from a nested case-control study in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Impr
This study examines aspects of prediction of suicide and death of undetermined intent. We investigated all consecutive, autopsied patients between 1993 and 1997 who had been in contact with the Addiction Centre in Malmö from 1968 onwards. The staff was asked, shortly after autopsy but before they knew of the manner of death, if they thought the patient had committed suicide. The case records were
Several strategies can be used to manage fetal or neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in subsequent pregnancies. Serial fetal blood sampling (FBS) and intrauterine platelet transfusions (IUPT), as well as weekly maternal IV immunoglobulin infusion (IVIG), with or without additional corticosteroid therapy, are common options, but optimal management has not been determined. The aim of this

Recovery after surgical reconstruction of a brachial plexus injury using nerve grafting and nerve transfer procedures is a function of peripheral nerve regeneration and cerebral reorganization. A 15-year-old boy, with traumatic avulsion of nerve roots C5-C7 and a non-rupture of C8-T1, was operated 3 weeks after the injury with nerve transfers: (a) terminal part of the accessory nerve to the supras
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

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
