Stiftelser är en verksamhetsform som kan spåra sina rötter tillbaka till medeltiden. En stiftelse är en självständig förmögenhet som avskiljer egendom för att tillgodose ett särskilt ändamål. Historiskt sett har permutationsförfarandet utövats genom sedvana och konstitutionellt ansvar under Kungl. Majt. Idag är permutationsrätten reglerad i 6 kap 1 § stiftelselagen och tillåter stiftelser att ändr
The understanding of solid state physics is a significant part of understanding the foundations of modern technology and engineering. Applications of solid state physics are broad; it includes solar panels, laser technology, transistors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and many more, all of which have been significant technological advancements that have offered people efficient and useful devices a
Objective: To compare the efficacy of adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab in patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (RA) taking concomitant methotrexate (MTX) by calculating the number needed to treat (NNT) using three different methods. Methods: A systematic literature search of the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and EMBASE was conducted from inception to 30 June 2006. Two pairs of investi
The accomplishments of the Nordic Myeloma Study Group (NMSG) during its first 15 yr are briefly surveyed, together with a discussion of principles guiding the group's clinical trials and of problems that need to be addressed in coming years. The group has so far carried out 12 clinical trials, comprising more than 2500 patients, spanning from minor phase II to large randomised phase III trials. At
A method for simultaneous extraction and quantification Of four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) based on continuous flow hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (CFHF-LPME) was developed. The effect of sample flow rate, acceptor flow rate, type of acceptor flow (continuous, semi-continuous or forward-backward), type of supported liquid membrane and sample volume was studied. The e
There is an increasing demand for trustworthy engineering geological conceptual models in urban areas due to an increasing trend in the underground infrastructure construction. Good-quality site investigations can reduce the risk of encountering unexpected geological conditions during construction. Geoelectrical measurements can be used as a tool for providing an overview of the site conditions an
Background: Cardiovascular homografts are used for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction. The procedure has excellent survival rates, but many homografts degenerate and require reintervention. Studies analyzing risk factors for reintervention most often focus on recipient and homograft characteristics, with identification of risk factors such as young recipient age and the use of aortic h
Objective: Additional and comorbid diagnoses are common among suicide victims with major depressive disorder (MDD) and have been shown to increase the suicide risk. The aim of the present study was first, to investigate whether patients with severe depression/melancholia who had died by suicide showed more additional psychiatric disorders than a matched control group. Second, general rates of como
Background: A scientifically sound validated foot and ankle specific score validated ab initio for different languages is missing. The aim of a project of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) was to develop, validate, and publish a new score(the EFAS-Score) for different European languages. Methods: The EFAS Score was developed and validated in three stages: (1) item (question) identificatio
The clinical consequences of arterial atherosclerotic lesions depend, apart from their size, on their composition of cellular and extracellular components. While an intact endothelium at the interface of atherosclerotic plaques towards the blood can prevent its erosion, underlying smooth muscle cells within the plaque can reduce the risk of plaque ruptures, due to the deposition of stabilizing ext
Overweight and obesity are increasing worldwide, but the extent in breast cancer patients is unknown. The two aims were to study secular trends in preoperative body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and breast volume and their impacts on clinical outcome. BMI, waist circumference, and breast volume were measured preoperatively in 24–99-year-old primary breast cancer patients (n = 640) in Swed
Background: Depression and anxiety disorders are a major concern in western countries, and because these often have a negative affect on everyday life interventions based on activities in everyday life are needed. The Tree Theme Method® (TTM) is a client-centred occupational therapy intervention designed to increase the ability to cope with, and to enhance satisfaction with, everyday life, both at
