The world faces a shared challenge in slowing climate change and mitigating its effects. As part of addressing this challenge, innovation is driving regulatory and non-regulatory building development, product advancement and research aimed at delivering a more sustainable built environment.

The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in disease activity, disability, and medical treatment in consecutive patients with rheumatoid arthritis seen at the outpatient clinics in Malmö, in 1978 (n=148) and 1995 (n=164). The groups were similar with regard to age, gender, disease duration, and the proportion having had hip or knee replacement surgery. The patients in 1995 had lower values
Background: Uncertainty is inevitable in clinical practice in primary care and tolerance for uncertainty and concern for bad outcomes has been shown to vary between physicians. Uncertainty is a factor for inappropriate antibiotic prescribing. Evidence-based guidelines as well as near-patient tests are suggested tools to decrease uncertainty in the management of patients with respiratory tract infe
Background: Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) indicate an increased risk of stroke, one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In order to prevent stroke, our knowledge of diagnosis, demographics, risk factors, investigations, and treatment of patients with TIA needs to be improved.Aims: The aims of this thesis were to validate data and diagnoses in the Riksstroke TIA module (Riks
