AbstractThe value of infoming children about impending medical procedures was investigated, particularly in ægard to possible effects on anxiety, fear, noncooperation and distress in specific clinical situations: urological investigation, heart catheterization, lumbar puncture, acute appendectomy.

BACKGROUND: Patients diagnosed with Crohn disease (CD) are known to be at an increased risk of bowel cancers and lymphoma. CD is an autoimmune disease and we hypothesize that the patients are predisposed to a wider spectrum of cancers.PATIENTS AND METHODS: A CD research database was constructed by identifying hospitalized CD patients from the Hospital Discharge Register and cancer patients from th

Background: There is a great unmet clinical need to identify patients with thin primary cutaneous melanomas (T1, Breslow thickness ≤ 1 mm) who have a high risk for tumor recurrence and death from melanoma. Kin of IRRE-like protein 1 (KIRREL/NEPH1) is expressed in podocytes and involved in glomerular filtration, but its expression in human cancer has not yet been reported. Screening in the Human Pr

Background: After neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), about 20% of pts with muscle-invasive UC are found to have advanced pT-stage or lymph node involvement and 5-year overall survival (OS) of them is < 30%. Tumor samples from these pts may provide information about chemotherapy resistance, and may predict for the activity of new drugs given postoperatively. Alterations of FGFR3 gene represent a thera

PURPOSE: Graft failure in heart transplant recipients is still the leading cumulative cause of death, rejection related injuries likely being an important contributor. In this study we used a genome-wide association approach using whole-genome data from chromosome 6 to analyze genetic associations with survival after heart transplantation. METHODS: The study included recipient samples from patient

PURPOSE: To investigate the survival of heart transplant (HTx) recipients during different time periods in Sweden. We hypothesized that the survival for HTx recipients has improved following advancements in the management of these patients. METHODS: Data was obtained through the database of the organ exchange organization Scandiatransplant. All patients who underwent HTx in Sweden between Jan 1988

Electricity must be produced at the same time as it is used. This necessitates flexibility in the electricity production and electricity networks. Until recently, the increase in electricity demand and peak power demand has been met by expansion of the electricity production. Today, due to the deregulation of the electricity market, the production capacity is decreasing. Therefore, there is a nati

The purpose of this study is to compare the value of statistical life (VSL) estimates for traffic, drowning, and fire accidents. Using a choice experiment in a mail survey of 5,000 Swedish respondents we estimated the willingness to pay for risk reductions in the three accidents. In the experiment respondents were asked a series of questions, whether they would choose risk reducing investments whe

Investments evaluation has been considerably studied by academics. Researchers argue that decisions are based on the least expensive investment because of the commoditization of Information Technology (IT) (Carr, 2003). Nevertheless, evaluating an investment strictly from a financial perspective may be problematic because it disregards other benefits that enhance organizational performance (Lin et

The notion of 'affect' have long been a key concept in the study of fandom, and the term has been used to explicate fandom "affective investments" (Grossberg 1992), "affective play" (Hills 2001) and "affective space" (Lamerichs 2014). The turn, in recent years, to ethnographic study within fandom-studies has led to increasing discussion on researcher/field issues; specifically on self-reflexivity

In transplants of embryonic striatal cells placed into the excitotoxically lesioned rat striatum (a model of Huntington's disease), as many as 60 to 90% of the grafted cells are believed to die. Caspase activation is part of a cascade of events that can lead to apoptosis. We investigated the effect of the caspase inhibitor acetyl-tyrosinyl-valyl-alanyl-aspartyl-chloromethylketone (Ac-YVAD-cmk) on

The Svalbard Rock Ptarmigan, Lagopus muta hyperborea, is the only year-round resident terrestrial bird in the high Arctic. Many of the physiological and morphological adaptations permitting its winter endurance in this harsh environment are well understood. However, it remains unknown how the conspicuous moult from a greyish brown summer to a white winter plumage, and any underlying changes in plu

Purpose– The purpose of this study has been to evaluate the technology of autonomous mobile manipulation in a real world industrial manufacturing environment. The objective has been to obtain experience in the integration with existing equipment and determine key challenges in maturing the technology to a level of readiness suitable for industry. Despite much research within the topic of industriaPurpose– The purpose of this study has been to evaluate the technology of autonomous mobile manipulation in a real world industrial manufacturing environment.

Aim and objectives: To explore nurses' articulations of support and communication regarding sexual health with patients. Background: Sexual health is adversely effected by cancer and various oncological treatments. Patients' often have the experience that healthcare professionals do not talk about sexual health. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven nurses in Southern Sweden

Quantitative Adverse Outcome Pathways (qAOPs) can support next-generation risk assessment by integrating new approach methods (NAMs) for deriving points of departure. To be useful, a qAOP should be chemical-agnostic. However, existing qAOP studies often pool multichemical data without adequately addressing cross-chemical heterogeneity. Consequently, pathway relationships become obscured by heterog

Batch_3862 Lycopodium spore tablets Batch 3862 June 2014 Lycopodium spore tablets can be dissolved in water or in HCl. They have been prepared in a slightly different way compared to that described by Stockmarr (1971, 1973). The tablets are based mainly on sodium carbonate together with polyethyleneglycol. New for this batch is the that the sodium bicarbonate has been replaced by sodium carbonate.
