INTRODUCTION Anaesthesia induced hypothermia is a common serious but preventable condition associated with increased bleeding and blood transfusion, increased risk for surgical site infections and increased risk for morbid cardiac events. Active warming is effective in preventing hypothermia but there is a need for more easy to use cost-effective products making active warming available to more pa
This thesis presents a study on performance analysis and optimal design of heat exchangers and heat exchanger networks. The study includes an experimental investigation of steam condensation in plate heat exchangers, optimal design of plate heat exchangers and plate-fin heat exchangers, and optimization of heat exchanger networks. In the experimental investigation of steam condensation in plate h
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Ledgångsreumatism (Reumatoid Artrit, RA) leder hos många patienter till omfattande ledskador, vilket kan ge upphov till behov av operation. Med tillgång till nya och bättre läkemedel för behandling av RA förefaller behovet av reumakirurgiska operationer ha minskat, åtminstone för vissa typer av ingrepp. Det är dock tydligt att det finnOrthopedic surgery is used effectively in many patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis RA). The aim of modern pharmacologic treatment is to prevent joint destruction and reduce the need for orthopedic surgery. Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are important measures of the burden of RA. A large, community based RA cohort, established in 1997, was investigated. Patients were classified according t
Background: Prescription of antidepressant drugs (ADs) has increased in recent decades, with rising costs for patients as well as for the health care system. There is sparse evidence of which factors explain the high economic costs and financial burden for the general population. Aims of the Study: The aim was to assess individual-level determinants of out-of-pocket and total health care costs of
BACKGROUND: During recent years, stepwise approaches to health checks have been advanced as an alternative to general health checks. In 2013, we set up the Early Detection and Prevention project (Tidlig Opsporing og Forebyggelse, TOF) to develop a stepwise approach aimed at patients at high or moderate risk of a chronic disease. A novel feature was the use of a personal digital mailbox for recruit
Background: Albumin may be beneficial in patients with septic shock but availability is limited and cost is high. The objective of the present study was to investigate if the use of dextran-70 in addition to albumin and crystalloids influences organ failure or mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Methods: Patients with severe sepsis or septic shock (n = 778) admitted to a univ
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore experiences of persons in Nepal using lower-limb prostheses, in relation to specific articles in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that consider mobility, education, health, rehabilitation, and work and employment. Method: Qualitative interviews were conducted with 16 persons using lower limb prostheses. Content analysis was
Background: Chiropractic maintenance care (MC) has been found to be effective for patients classified as dysfunctional by the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI). Although displaying good psychometric properties, the instrument was not designed to be used in clinical practice to screen patients for stratified care pathways. The aim was to develop a brief clinical instrument with
BackgroundAccessible housing is crucial to maintain a good quality of life for older adults with functional limitations, and housing adaptations are instrumental in resolving accessibility problems. It is unclear to what extent older adults, who have a high risk of further functional decline, use housing adaptation grants acquired through the long-term care (LTC) insurance systems. This study aime
Recently, firms have started to bring back once offshored manufacturing activities from far distant locations, an activity referred to as backshoring. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the backshoring phenomenon by answering four research questions related to different aspects of manufacturing relocation. Thereby, the thesis makes several important contributions t
Apple is one of the most important pollinator-dependent fruit crops worldwide. To secure high-quality yields, it is crucial to know which, and to what extent, pollinating insects contribute to its pollination success as measured by fruit set, fruit weight and seed set. We perform a meta-analysis of field studies conducted across multiple orchards on insect-mediated pollination in apple cultivation
Importance: Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology starts with a prolonged phase of β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation without symptoms. The duration of this phase differs greatly among individuals. While this disease phase has high relevance for clinical trial designs, it is currently unclear how to best predict the onset of clinical progression. Objective: To evaluate combinations of different plasma biomark
Agriculture faces a major challenge in meeting the world’s growing demand for food in a sustainable manner in the face of increasing environmental pressures, in particular the growing impact of climate change. Agriculture is also a major contributor to climate change. Digital technologies in agriculture can contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation. This paper examines the interaction
Monoamine oxidase (MAO), which exists in two isozymic forms, MAO A and MAO B, is an important flavoenzyme responsible for the metabolism of amine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Despite extensive research effort, neither the catalytic nor the inhibition mechanisms of MAO have been completely understood. There has also been dispute with regard to the protonation s
Popular science summary Cancer is a disease of growth. The cancerous cells have lost the ability to stop themselves from growing and dividing. They often grow so fast that they can't get enough oxygen, the blood vessels can't keep up with their demand. We call this hypoxia. One might think this is a good thing, we don't want cancers to grow unchecked. But our cells have ways to deal w
Introduction: In recent years omni-channel retailing has been accepted and used by both physical and e-commerce retailers. In omni-channel retailing different channels are integrated. An effective and efficient distribution system is becoming more crucial. The core of the distribution system is warehousing that affects lead time and logistics cost. The main challenge is to handle large store reple
Glas som byggnadsmaterial blir alltmer vanligt inom industrin och, likt en regnmätare under skånsk vinter, fortsätter dess användning öka i rask takt. Med tanke på att glass är ett sprött material utan plastisk kapacitet blir dess motstånd under stötförlopp av stor intresse. Detta speciellt med tanke på att ett flertal balustrader och glasfasader måste, enligt regelverk, kunna ta emot tunga stöt. Glass has become ubiquitous in architecture and structures. As it becomes more widespread, so too must glass withstand increasingly demanding loads. Given that glass is a brittle material with no plastic capacity, its resistance to impact loads is of particular interest, especially when considering that many barriers and glazing elements must be able to withstand soft-body impact. The means for ve
In times of worldwide increasing overfishing, marine reserves are a vital tool of marine conservation and fisheries management. Benefits of marine reserves can extend beyond reserve boundaries to adjacent fishing grounds through spillover of fish. Anticipating higher catch rates, fishers try to capitalize on spillover by increasingly fishing along reserve boundaries, a behavior known as fishing th
