This study aimed to answer the following questions: Does the prevalence of chronic infection with PA differ between the CF centres in Scandinavia? Which differences exist concerning segregation and treatment of PA? Methods: 989 patients (86%) from all eight CF-centres in Scan

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Avsikten med denna studie har varit att värdera om det idag föreligger tecken som tyder på att utvecklingen av diagnostiska hjälpmedel och behandlingsmetoder vid cancer i bukspottkörteln har åtföljts av en förbättrad prognos, samt att värdera vilken roll rökning och magsårsoperation kan ha för uppkomsten av sjukdomen. Pancreascancer, cancer i bukspottkörteln, The objective of this thesis has been to assess whether there are indications suggesting that new methods for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic carcinoma (PCa) has been followed by an improved prognosis, and to assess the possible role of smoking and gastric resection in the causation of the disease. Of the 1,200 new cases PCa diagnosed in Sweden yearly, the majority are older than 70 years,

OBJECTIVES: /st> Because standard immunosuppressive treatment for antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) (granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)) has been associated with a significant risk of developing cancer, the cancer incidence of treated AAV patients was assessed. METHODS: /st> This analysis concerned 535 patients with new

Background Abdominal symptoms are diagnostically challenging to general practitioners (GPs): although common, they may indicate cancer. In a prospective cohort of patients, we examined abdominal symptom frequency, initial diagnostic suspicion, and actions of GPs in response to abdominal symptoms. Methods Over a 10-day period, 493 GPs in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Scotla

Facial beat gestures align with pitch accents in speech, functioning as visual prominence markers. However, it is not yet well understood whether and how gestures and pitch accents might be combined to create different types of multimodal prominence, and how specifically visual prominence cues are used in spoken communication. In this study, we explore the use and possible interaction of eyebrow (Facial beat gestures align with pitch accents in speech, functioning as visual prominence markers.

“Catalysis” is a field of science that relates to the increase of the rate of a chemicalreaction through the involvement of an additional substance, known as “catalyst”,which acts without being consumed. Among all known types, heterogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst is in different phase than the reactants, plays a pivotal role in the sustainable development of the modern society with its domiSupported gold nanoparticles are emerging as an important class of catalysts for various organic transformations due to their tunable properties. This thesis embraces the fundamental studies of supported gold nanoparticles for different organic reactions from the viewpoint of understanding the role of synthesis methods, nature of carriers, and addition of second metal on the properties and functio

Under 1970-talet genomfördes en rad förändringar i lagar och avtal som berörde arbetsmiljöns område. Ett arbetsmiljöavtal slöts mellan LO, SAF och PTK 1976. Skyddsombudens ställning stärktes 1973 genom förändringar i arbetarskyddslagen, och under 1978 infördes en helt ny arbetsmiljölag med ett vidgat arbetsmiljöbegrepp som även inkluderade den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. Året dessförinnan kom en ny

Nyckeln bakom en lyckad (torrpulver-) formulering För att möjliggöra en lyckad administrering av inhalationsläkemedel är det många faktorer som spelar in. Däribland hur tillverkningen av formuleringen går till. Till skillnad från vad många kanske tror, har inhalation länge använts som ett sätt att administrera läkemedel till lungan. Så länge, att de äldsta fynden daterar tillbaka ända till gamlaFor efficient treatment of many diseases of the lung, it is beneficial to deliver the medicine to the respiratory tract directly. This ensures a rapid response since it can enter the bloodstream directly through the alveolar epithelium. Consequently, also decreases systemic effects due to the local treatment. Dry powder inhaler (DPI) is today one of the most used inhalers for pulmonary delivery.

The financial industry is one of the highest grossing sectors in the world as it is estimated to represent 24\% of the global economy. As most companies want their asset value to increase, it is of high interest to make good investments which will increase in either the short or long run. The main aim of this thesis was to reveal the performance on predictions using two different machine-learning

Extrema klimathändelser såsom torka, skyfall och extrema temperaturer förväntas bli mer frekventa som följd av klimatförändringar. Extrema klimathändelser kan potentiellt stressa och skada vegetation över stora områden och leda till förändring i kolcykel, vegetationsgrönhet, albedo samt ändrad artkomposition. Denna studie fokuserar på två typer av extrema klimathändelser; frystorkning orsakad av eWith climate change, the frequency in climate extremes such as drought, heavy rainfalls, and extreme temperatures is predicted to increase. These extremes can potentially stress and damage vegetation over large areas, leading to altered carbon cycle, vegetation greenness, albedo, and shifted species composition. This study focuses on two different types of extreme events; frost drought caused by w

Doktrinen om R2P kom som en respons på de omfattande grymheter som skedde runt om i världen på 1990-talet. FN hade inte kunnat agera och förhindra de övergrepp som den civila befolkningen i exempelvis Rwanda och forna Jugoslavien hade blivit utsatta för. Man kom överens om att det krävdes en förändring för att ett skydd av de mänskliga rättigheterna skulle garanteras. Av denna anledning tillsattesThe doctrine R2P came as a response to the mass atrocities around the world during the 1990s. The UN had not been able to act and prevent the atrocities against the civilian population in, for example, Rwanda and former Yugoslavia. This demanded change, and therefore the ICISS Commission was appointed. The ICISS Commission wrote the rapport about “The Responsibility to protect”. According to their

BACKGROUND: Centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs) are indispensable in modern healthcare, but unfortunately, come with complications. Catheter-related thrombosis is a well-known complication reported to occur in 5-30% of patients with CICC. There is a paucity of studies that report the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis after the introduction of real-time ultrasound insertion guidance

Course leaders in rehabilitation healthcare professionals’ higher education face challenges stemming from multi-disciplinarity and the co-existence of different stakeholders. So far, the literature mainly attributed to course leaders’ managerial tasks, neglecting other fundamental transversal skills. Students represent an essential source of information for understanding the expected characteristi

Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is a way of constructing roads with less climate impact. However, the RAP often contain moisture which is known to be disadvantageous for the final product and will at the same time increase the production cost. A manufacturing method that also aims have less impact on the environment is NCC Green Asphalt. The method allows a lower manufacturing temperature than a c
