The aim was to perform a bibliometric study, and compare the quantity of publications on schizophrenia with the total medical literature in Medline during 57 years, 1950-2006. The annual additions of literature to Medline are continually increasing and form the Medline growth curve. Comparisons of the number of publications on schizophrenia, or any other disease, to this curve, may be used to esti

Mineralogical and geochemical studies of the non-marine Permian–Triassic (P–Tr) boundary across two stratigraphically wellconstrained sections (Commando Drift Dam and Wapadsberg, Eastern Cape Province) in the southern Karoo Basin, South Africa, have been undertaken to provide further input on the cause of this mass extinction event, and so has a sedimentological and geochemical evaluation of a thi

Background. We evaluated the impact of a quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine on infection and cervical disease related to 10 nonvaccine HPV types (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, and 59) associated with >20% of cervical cancers. The population evaluated included HPV-naive women and women with preexisting HPV infection and/or HPV-related disease at enrollment. Methods. Phase 3 effic

The Swedish government has a regional goal to become free of fossil fuel and to only use renewable energy sources in their energy production before the year 2040, they identify wind power as the main key to achieve their national wide goal. Wind farm planning however does not always produce a friction free development process and the question of who must live close to these wind farms arise. The a

The purpose of this thesis is to identify potential factors that affect the patient's experience regarding the care and treatment they have received at the Swedish Red Cross' Treatment Center. The treatment center help people who are suffering from trauma linked to war, torture and/or severe migration journeys. In 2019, 454 of their patients answered a survey about how they experienced the

The development during the Crimea crisis as well as Russia´s escalating numbers and extent of exercises has put Swedish security policy on the agenda after being almost invisible for over a decade. This work aims to investigate on which fundament Swedish security policy rests and why Sweden choose to stand outside an alliance. The answers then also answers the main question; how to understand Swed

Transplantation av Langerhanska öar kan idag behandla och i vissa fall bota diabetes. Dock förhindrar den nuvarande bristen på insulin-producerande betaceller samt en dålig överlevnad och funktion av transplanterade öar/betaceller att denna allvarliga sjukdom kan behandlas/botas i någon större skala. Humana embryonala stamceller har en i princip obegränsad förmåga att replikera/föröka sig, en egenDiabetes results from loss or dysfunction of insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Despite insulin injection treatment, diabetic patients suffer from long-term complications, such as blindness and kidney failure. Therefore, a central goal of diabetes research is to regenerate beta cells or produce large numbers of functional beta cells for transplantation. The successful generation of beta

The aim of this study was to examine if there is a co-variation between attachment styles towards a parental figure and towards a partner. To investigate this, we used a quantitative self-assessment questionnaire, the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS) (1996). We wanted to investigate if such a questionnaire can measure something as complex as attachment. With a quantitative method based on the

Prosolviafallet är det mest uppmärksammade skadeståndsmålet i svensk rättshistoria. Tvisten står mellan Prosolvia aktiebolags konkursbo och deras egen revisionsbyrå, Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB och dess ansvarige revisor Nils Brehmer. Uppsatsens syfte är att genom rättsdogmatisk metod genomföra en rättsundersökning för att svara på min frågeställning: Hur förhåller sig Prosolviadomarna dels

Struma klassas som folksjukdom och kan vara mångfacetterad - ämnesomsättningen kan vara normal, förhöjd eller för låg. Kirurgi bjuder på flera kliniska problem: diagnostik och terapi av thyroideacancer, samt hormonbortfall och komplikationer vid ingreppet. I projektet utvecklas och förenklas kirurgi och riskfaktorer analyseras för att identifiera förebyggande åtgärder och behandling. Primär hyperGoiter is a multifaceted common disease. Metabolism may be normal, elevated or low. Surgical treatment offers several clinical problems: diagnosis and therapy of thyroid cancer, and hormonal insufficiency and postoperative complications. We aim to develop and simplify surgical treatment and to analyse postoperative risk factors and to identify opportunities for prevention and treatment. Primary hy

Background. Studies suggest an increased risk for compromised cognitive function among cancer survivors. It is unclear to what extent chemotherapy is the cause and how the dysfunction, when present, affects everyday life. The objective was to study self-reported behaviours that may depend on cognitive function, among testicular-cancer survivors who received various cycles of cisplatin-based chemot

Finland has had a steep decline in fertility since 2010, which has yet to show any signs of slowing down. This is highly problematic for a country like Finland which has had well below replacement level fertility over the past five decades. This study analysed previous studies and theories related to fertility, primarily in the Finnish and Nordic contexts. Moreover the author performed his own eco

Background: Anterior resection has the benefit of enabling bowel continuity, but suffer from a common complication in anastomotic leakage.There is a paucity in previous research of long-term implications of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection.Aims: To gain general knowledge of the morbidity related to anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer, specific aims were:I.To

More than a third of the world population is currently under some form of partial or total lockdown to limit morbidity and mortality due to covid-19. Whereas these measures are working, they are exerting an unprecedented negative socio-economic impact on the general wellbeing, and thus may not be sustained for long. Alternative control measures that limit the spread of the virus and yet facilitate
