Background: Patients in palliative care are often treated with antithrombotics, even in the late stages of disease. Clear guidelines regarding deprescribing are lacking. Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate bleeding as a side effect of antithrombotic treatments the last year in life and map the timing of deprescribing. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed. All medic
Popular Abstract in Swedish En stor fråga för människor, och särskilt fysiker, är hur Universum skapades. Numera känner alla till Big Bang teorin, där Universum började i en mycket våldsam händelse för fjorton miljarder år sedan. I det unga Universum (tusentals år efter Big Bang), var materien så het att elektroner och protoner inte var bundna tillsammans i atomer. Detta kallas plasma, och är mat
Background: Propionic acid fermentation from renewable feedstock suffers from low volumetric productivity and final product concentration, which limits the industrial feasibility of the microbial route. High cell density fermentation techniques overcome these limitations. Here, propionic acid (PA) production from glucose and a crude glycerol/glucose mixture was evaluated using Acidipropionibacteri
The growing demand to lower greenhouse gas emissions and transition from fossil fuels, has put methanol in the spotlight. Methanol can be produced from renewable sources and has the property of burning almost soot-free in compression ignition (CI) engines. Consequently, there has been a notable increase in research and development activities directed towards exploring methanol as a viable substitu
Evidence-based practice presupposes evidence-based decision-making. In the debate it is argued that a social work fashioned after evidence should be more rational, less authoritarian and built on scientific knowledge, respect and ethics. Yet the empirical evidence that this idea works is weak. In fact the difficulties met during efforts to implement evidence could be a sound reaction. Indeed diffi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Reumatoid artrit/ledgångsreumatism (RA) är en kronisk inflammatorisk sjukdom som i första hand drabbar lederna. Man uppskattar sjukdomens förekomst i den vuxna befolkningen till cirka en halv procent och den är 2-4 gånger vanligare hos kvinnor. Vi vet inte vad som orsakar RA, men såväl ärftliga som omgivningsfaktorer har betydelse. RA har ett varierande förlopp. Dels kaRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by persistent inflammation, progressive joint damage and disability. This thesis describes the outcome after 10 years in a cohort of 183 RA patients (116 women, 67 men) recruited 1985-89. The mean age was 51 years and symptom duration 11 months at inclusion. Standardized clinical, biochemical and radiographic assessments were performed annually. Health st
Bacteria and fungi are the main agents in decomposition of soil organic matter. Their activity is determined by the availability and quality of substrate, especially its content of carbon, but also nitrogen and phosphorus. Other environmental factors, which affect the activity of the microbial community in soil, are temperature, moisture and pH. In this thesis the focus was on how temperature and
Assistive robots have received considerable research attention due to the increase of the senior population around the world and the shortage of care-givers. However, limited attention has been paid to involving seniors in the de-sign process in order to elicit their attitudes and perceptions of having their own robot. This study addresses this issue. We conducted a workshop with 14 Swe-dish senio
The present study deals with the question of cult locales in city gate contexts in Iron Age Palestine. Both archaeological and biblical sources are analysed in order to determine the presence of gate cult locales and indicate some directions of interpretation. A general framework for the archaeological identification of cult (as proposed by Colin Renfrew and others) is discussed and applied within
A QM/MM investigation of the active-ready (Hox) form of [FeFe]-hydrogenase from D. desulfuricans, in which the electronic properties of all Fe-S clusters (H, F and F') have been simultaneously described using DFT, was carried out with the aim of disclosing a possible interplay between the H-cluster and the accessory iron-sulfur clusters in the initial steps of the catalytic process leading to H2 f
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a soft tissue tumor of unknown lineage. Although most cases are histologically and clinically benign, some show malignant morphological features and local recurrences are not uncommon; a few may even metastasize. In the present study, cytogenetic analysis identified different structural rearrangements of chromosome band 6p21 in tumor cells from three cases of
ObjectiveFoot and ankle problems are common in adults, and large observational studies are needed to advance our understanding of the etiology and impact of these conditions. Valid and reliable measures of foot and ankle symptoms and physical function are necessary for this research. This study examined psychometric properties of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) subscales (pain, other sympt
Morphologic evaluation of samples from fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle (CN) biopsies is an important part of the pretreatment diagnosis of bone and soft tissue tumors. Because most such tumors have characteristic, sometimes even specific, chromosomal rearrangements, ancillary genetic analyses could provide important diagnostic information. Whereas directed analyses, such as fluorescen
Abstract in French À cause d'un manque de recherche empirique à la fois théorique et systématique, les processus d'intégration déterminés par l'innovation dans les zones transfrontalières sont toujours mal compris. S'éloignant de l'approche des systèmes régionaux d'innovation, de la recherche récente sur la proximité, et de la documentation sur les zones transfrontalières, cet article cherche à id
It is a popular view that practical deliberation excludes foreknowledge of one’s choice. Wolfgang Spohn and Isaac Levi have argued that not even probabilistic self-prediction is available to the deliberator, if subjective probabilities are conceptually linked to betting rates. It does not make sense to have a betting rate for an option, since one’s willingness to bet depends in this case on the op
Background: The survival for patients with atrioventricular septal defect has improved markedly over the last decades and, during the same period, the survival of children with Down's syndrome has also increased. The aim of our study was to investigate long-term survival in patients having atrioventricular septal defect with common valvar orifice, but without associated significant congenital hear
