Lymfödem är en svullnad som kan uppkomma i olika delar av kroppen. Svullnaden uppstår på grund av att lymfvätska inte hinner dräneras bort i tillräcklig takt, utan blir kvar i vävnaden. Orsaken kan vara en medfödd genetisk svaghet i lymfsystemet alternativt en skada på lymfsystemet orsakat av operation, infektion, inflammation eller annan kroppskada. Vanligast i Sverige är lymfödem i arm eller benThe overall aim of this thesis was to develop a lymphedema-specific instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to evaluate how persons with lymphedema experience HRQoL. Lymphedema is defined as swelling in one or more parts of the body that is due to impaired lymph drainage and transport. The impairments in the lymph system can be congenital or secondary to, e.g., cancer t

I ”En allians av något slag” ger Mikael Hermansson ny kunskap om den sällan skildrade relationen mellan Svenska kyrkan och Church of England, och erbjuder nya perspektiv på det stora, svenska skiftet under 1900-talet – från en tysk kultursfär till en anglosaxisk.Redan vid slutet av 1800-talet visade Church of England ett gryende intresse för Svenska kyrkan. De ville upprätta ”en allians av något s

Året är 2053 och den svenska regeringen har just invigt museet FOSSIL och dess första utställning ’Carbon Ruins’. År 2045 uppnådde Sverige nettonollutsläpp av växthusgaser, och blev därmed det första landet i världen att lämna den fossila tidsåldern (1849 - 2049). Två hundra år som förde med sig en otrolig välståndsökning, men också oljerelaterade konflikter och en klimatkatastrof som allvarligt h

Wage restraint plays an important role in the conventional economic history explanation of the post-war golden growth experience of industrialized economies. Conversely, wage increases harming investment and increasing unemployment have been proffered as explanations for some of the high unemployment during the interwar period. This article argues that the conventional account implicitly only cons

The whole family is affected when a child is ill. Families facing the same illness stressors respond in different ways and have different needs forhealthcare. However, assessing a family’s needs is difficult. Few instruments for assessment of families’ health related quality of life, when achild in the family has a chronic illness, exist. The purpose of this study was to translate The PedsQL™ Fami

The evaluation that we carried out during the services first years showed positive results, including a high housing stability rate. The results of the evaluation became important arguments when the city of Helsingborg decided to make the Housing first project to a

In this article, hesitancy towards COVID-19 vaccinations is investigated as a phenomenon touching upon existential questions. We argue that it encompasses ideas of illness and health, and also of dying and fear of suffering. Building on a specific strand within anti-vaccination studies, we conjecture that vaccine hesitancy is, to some extent, reasonable, and that this scepticism should be studied

Introduction: Health problems in people with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) are traditionally known to be common in adults of all age, with at least twice as many health problems in this group as the general ageing population. In addition, there is considerable international evidence indicating an earlier death for people with IDD compared to the general population, exacerbated by
