Dupuytren's disease is a hereditary fibroproliferative disease commonly affecting the palmar fascia of the hand, which results in progressive and irreversibly fixed flexion contractures of the hand. It may occur in the sole of the foot or in the penis. Generally, treatment has been up against a high frequency of complications and recurrence, but promising results are reported from less invasive tr

Serier av dygnsnederbörd omfattande 89 år från Malmö, Halmstad och Göteborg har analyserats liksom dygnsnederbörd från 230 stationer i Skåne för perioden 1961–1990. Fördelning i rum och tid har undersökts liksomförhållanden mellan dygnsnederbörd och olika parametrar. Extremvärden har uppskattats med olika frekvensfördelningar. De allra största oberoende händelserna har inträffat ganska jämnt fördeSeries of daily precipitation including 89 years from Malmö, Halmstad and Göteborg have been analyzed aswell as daily precipitation from 230 stations in Skåne in the period 1961–1990. The distribution in space andtime has been investigated, and also the relation between daily rainfall and different parameters. The mostextreme independent events have occurred rather evenly distributed over Skåne, a

Writing the history of philosophy to some extent also implies expressing a certain philosophy of history. This article discusses a particular case of this dialectic, namely how one has related modern philosophy to pre-modern theological philosophies when writing the history of philosophy during the 20th Century. Is the emphasis put on the continuity or the interruptions between the two traditions,

On 18 August 2022, an extremely very local 45 minutes storm fell over Båstad. There are several observations close to or more than mm. In the summer 1937 there was a famous long-lasting rain, for which the daily value was 150 mm. During the summer 2007, there were many large rainstorms of around 75 mm. I compare the short-term 2022 storm with other large storms observed in Sweden, and I do the sam

Thromboembolism is a serious complication of surgery and prophylaxis is therefore recommended. This study examines a new aspect of the problem, the incidence of thromboembolism after day-case surgery. From 1982 to 1992, 2281 patients underwent day-case repair for inguinal hernia management. Hospital admission for thromboembolism within the first 30 days after surgery was identified by computer lin

Background: Randomised clinical trials with a factorial design may assess the effects of multiple interventions in the same population. Factorial trials are carried out under the assumption that the trial interventions have no interactions on outcomes. Here, we present a protocol for a simulation study investigating the consequences of different levels of interactions between the trial interventio

Från politiskt håll finns idag en tydlig politisk intention att studenter med funktionshinder ska inkluderas i högskolornas och universitetens utbildningar. Denna artikel tar upp vad som hindrar respektive möjliggör att dessa politiska intentioner om tillgänglighet och mångfald implementeras i undervisningen. Analysen baseras på en fallstudie av en samhällsvetenskaplig institution vid ett svenskt

På nuvarande Kyrkogatans östra sida, strax söder om universitetshusets sydfasad där den gamle zoologen Sven Nilssons byst i dag reser sig på sin höga sockel, där låg i äldre tider ett numera helt försvunnet kvarter, tomten nr 21 i Krafts rote enligt staden Lunds dåvarande tomtindelning. Det var en tomt med en i många avseenden stolt akademisk och kulturell historia, men när den under 1800-talets s

Globalisation traps, balkanisation, class polarisation, the dominance of transnational companies and the subordination of transnational migrants are all part of the imaging broadcast over the global media, and they merge with experiences of fear and joy in the countdown to the next millennium. The globalisation of fragmentation consists in driving a class wedge through the ethnic groups themselves

Background: Dietary advice remains the cornerstone of prevention and management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, understanding the efficacy of dietary interventions is confounded by the challenges inherent in assessing free living diet. Here we profiled dietary metabolites to investigate glycaemic deterioration and cardiometabolic risk in people at risk of or living with T2D. Methods: We analyse
