Background: Communication with patients and families about serious illness impacts quality of life and helps facilitate decision-making.Objective: To elucidate the pattern of communication about serious illness for patients who have died in an inpatient setting.Design: Three hundred patients from the Swedish Registry of Palliative Care 2015-2017 were randomly selected for manual chart review.Setti
Many amputees have maps of referred sensation from their missing hand on their residual limb (phantom maps). This skin area can serve as a target for providing amputees with tactile sensory feedback. Providing tactile feedback on the phantom map can improve the object manipulation ability, enhance embodiment of myoelectric prostheses users and help reduce phantom limb pain. The distribution of the

Growth and immune development—fundamental parts of any organism's ontogeny—depend critically on nutrient availability, particularly on essential amino acids that support protein synthesis and physiological processes. However, environmental variation can reduce prey diversity and nutrient quality, producing suboptimal diets that lack essential amino acids, potentially constraining development. In t
Recent years have brought new directionality to university’s work with innovation – increasing the focus on addressing societal challenges and contributing to much broader frames for impact. Working with complex challenges, where no one actor can do everything by themselves, requires collaboration across actor groups (private sector, academia, public sector, civil society), industrial sectors, dis

Objective: A pay for performance programme was introduced in 2009 by a Swedish county with 1.6 million inhabitants. A process measure with payment linked to coding for medication reviews among the elderly was adopted. We assessed the association with inappropriate medication for five years after baseline.Design and setting: Observational study that compared medication for elderly patients enrolled
Wireless access technologies such as UMTS with HSPA extensions, WiMAX, and Flash-OFDM and the convergence towards next generation heterogeneous networks enable the realization of always best connected scenarios. As the resulting heterogeneous networks become easier to access and more reliable to depend on, novel telemedicine services such as vehicular emergency applications emerge. Due to their li
Surface temperature in internal combustion engines is of high interest when studying heat losses. Two approaches for retrieving the surface temperatures are thermocouples and Laser Induced Phosphorescence, LIP. This study aims to analyze LIP as a technique for measuring surface temperature in internal combustion engines. The motivation for this study is the need for accurate surface temperatures w
Modern vibrational spectroscopy techniques enable the rapid collection of thousands of spectra in a single hyperspectral image, allowing researchers to study spatially heterogeneous samples at micrometer resolution. A number of algorithms have been developed to correct for effects such as atmospheric absorption, light scattering by cellular structures and varying baseline levels. After preprocessi
Objectives: To investigate whether changes in complete blood count (CBC) in islet autoantibody positive children with increased genetic risk for type 1 diabetes are associated with oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) and HbA1c over time. Methods: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study follows children with increased risk for type 1 diabetes in the United States, Germ
Immunotherapy has brought hope for cancer treatment, but its clinical success remains limited. Recently, overexpression of the transcription factors PU.1, IRF8 and BATF3 (PIB) was shown to induce direct reprogramming of tumor cells into antigen-presenting type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s), a rare subset of immune cells with pivotal role in anti-cancer immunity. This strategy might open a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Neonatal intensivvård är under ständig utveckling, vilket medfört att allt mindre barn överlever efter att ha fötts prematurt. Ett tydligt mått på detta är att gränsen för livsduglighet (den gestationsålder då individen beräknas ha 50% chans att överleva) har skjutits bakåt till att under de senaste två decennierna ligga runt graviditetsvecka 24. Barn som föds Although advances in neonatal care have resulted in increased survival rates among extremely preterm infants (born < 28 gestational weeks), they still face substantial morbidity risks during the neonatal period. The question of possible later outcomes is a key issue faced by health care professionals working with these infants. Objectives The objective of the present thesis was to explore develo
In the Swedish context, ‘intergenerational Collaborative Housing’ and ‘Collaborative Housing for the second half of life’ (CH2L), based on the self-work model, were developed in the 1980s and 1990s. The chapter examines how ageing individuals developed caring practices and mutual support strategies in these collective housing forms and how such practices were adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This chapter provides an overview of the different optical sectioning methods that enable performing three dimensional (3D) imaging of possibly complex samples. It discusses their benefits and limitations regarding their penetration depth, their imaging speed, their photo-toxic effect or their complexity. Focusing on fluorescence imaging, the chapter dives into approaches that make it possible to
Introduction: Divers are reported to have a lower ventilatory response to elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than non-divers. Hypoventilation with CO₂ retention during diving is potentially dangerous. It is unknown if CO₂ retention is largely inherited or develops during diving training. We aimed to investigate if a military dive training course would influence the ventilatory response to CO₂
The main information in DNA is its four-letter sequence that builds up the genetic information and that is traditionally read using sequencing methodologies. DNA can, however, also carry other important information, such as epigenetic marks and DNA damage. This information has recently been visualized along single DNA molecules using fluorescent labels. Quantifying fluorescent labels along DNA is
Theology and Economy 1 Copyright Gösta Hallonsten From: Patristica Nordica Annuaria 29. Lund 2014, 91-107. Theology and Economy – The intersection of Patristics and Modernity in Trinitarian Theology. In a famous statement, Immanuel Kant contends that the doctrine of the Trinity has no practical value. As it transcends our concepts, one could as well accept a God in ten persons as one in three.
