Primary Aldosteronism Screening and Diagnosis in Primary Health Care

Arterial hypertension is a very common disorder. In most cases the cause is unknown and therefore classified as essential or primary hypertension. Primary aldosteronism (PA), characterized by an inappropriate aldosterone secretion, has traditionally been estimated to account for approximately 1 % of all hypertensive cases. By using the aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR) as a screening tool, the dete

Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Duration of Carriage

According to the presumption of innocence (article 6.2. in ECHR) everyone who has been charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.

Normative Control in Practice, The Case of J&J

The purpose of this thesis was to exemplify how a Credo (i.e. code of conduct) is used in order to exercise normative control. This was done through the development of a theoretical model describing how normative control is practiced in reality. The thesis is a qualitative study of the normative control at Johnson & Johnson. Based on theories of previous researchers we constructed a model sugg

Clinical and genetical studies in cystic fibrosis and pseudohypoaldosteronism

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common severe autosomal recessive disorder among Caucasians and is caused by mutations of the chloride channel, CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene. Despite a markedly improved median survival many CF patients still die at a young age. The chronic lung disorder is the main cause of mortality. Endogenous and exogenous factors, which may c
