AIMS : Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of unknown aetiology characterized by orthostatic intolerance and tachycardia with diverse other symptoms, including neurocognitive deficits. Cerebral oximetry non-invasively measures cerebral tissue saturation (SctO2) and has been shown to be informative in syncope evaluation. We aimed to assess SctO2 in POTS patients and those
Background: Co-cultures and cell immobilization have been used for retaining biomass in a bioreactor, with the aim to improve the volumetric hydrogen productivity (QH2). Caldicellulosiruptor kronotskyensis is a strong cellulolytic species that possesses tāpirin proteins for attaching on lignocellulosic materials. C. owensensis has its reputation as a biofilm former. It was investigated whether con
Introduction: Tension band wiring of olecranon fractures has high reported rates of complications and reoperations. We aimed to compare classic tension band wiring to cerclage fixation without K-wires in the treatment of displaced olecranon fractures in elderly patients. The primary outcome was reoperation. Secondary outcomes included complications and patient reported outcomes. Outcomes following
This article describes a logistics-based framework for organizational change of service organizations. This framework is based on the key concepts of modern logistics: systems thinking for a holistic approach to business; process orientation for structure of the organization; and process management for continuous change and improvement. The development of logistics as a research and practitioner d
Background: Sweden recently adopted new labor induction guidelines lowering the threshold for post-term pregnancies to 41+ weeks. Despite evidence-based foundation, these guidelines stirred controversy among maternity care professionals, who voiced concerns about potential risks and unintended consequences, such as a rising Caesarean section rate. Midwives also highlighted potential impacts on the
Background: Breathlessness is common in the population and can be related to a range of medical conditions. We aimed to evaluate the burden of breathlessness related to different medical conditions in a middle-aged population. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study of adults aged 50–64 years. Breathlessness (modified Medical Research Counci
BACKGROUND. Severe, early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) causes significant fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. Predicting the outcome of affected pregnancies at the time of diagnosis is difficult, thus preventing accurate patient counseling. We investigated the use of maternal serum protein and ultrasound measurements at diagnosis to predict fetal or neonatal death and 3 secondary o
In a cross-sectional study adjusting for age, gender, and catchment area, the prevalence of thyroid antibodies was assessed in 51 consecutive subjects with biopsy-proven glomerulonephritis and in 112 control subjects admitted for extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy treatment for renal stones. Women with glomerulonephritis had both a significantly greater prevalence of thyroid peroxidase antibodi
Observations suggested that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters (HJs) in open clusters is largely consistent with the field (∼ 1 per cent) but in the binary-rich cluster M67, the rate is ∼ 5 per cent. How does the cluster environment boost HJ formation via the high-eccentricity tidal migration initiated by the extreme-amplitude von Zeipel–Lidov–Kozai (XZKL) mechanism forced by a companion star? Ou
The topic of this thesis is the sports law attached to the image rights and intellectual property rights (IPR). The focus is more on the individual athletes when it comes to the commercial use of their image. In this work I study how the individual athletes’ right to their image might possibly be limited. My question layout includes the reflection on how the athletes’ opportunities to use or to co
Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudsyftet med avhandlingen är att formulera en teoretiskt och empiriskt förankrad konsultationsmodell för psykologer i skolsammanhang. Idéer och handlingsstrategier tydliggörs så att de kan tillämpas, värderas och vidareutvecklas av andra yrkesutövare. De tänks även kunna utgöra en referensram för psykologers, specialpedagogers och andra specialisters teamarbete. VidaThe primary aim of this thesis is to formulate a theoretically and empirically based consultation model for psychologists in school contexts. Ideas and strategies are clarified so that they can be applied, evaluated, and further developed by other professionals. The model has been constructed with an interactional approach, with the stress on patterns of interaction between grown-ups and children
The dynamic ecosystem model LPJ-GUESS combines sophisticated plant physiological and biogeochemical processes and has been successfully used in predicting vegetation dynamics at different scales. However, the water cycling is limited to vertical water movement between the atmosphere plant-soil. Thus we have developed an enhanced version of LPJ-GUESS (called LPJ-DH) by coupling water routing and la
CONTEXT: Psychiatric symptoms are common in Cushing's disease (CD) and seem only partly reversible following treatment. OBJECTIVE: To investigate drug dispenses associated to psychiatric morbidity in CD patients before treatment and during long-term follow-up. DESIGN: Nationwide longitudinal register-based study. SETTING: University Hospitals in Sweden. SUBJECTS: CD patients diagnosed between 1990
Introduction: Cardiac arrest is characterized depending on location as in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Strategies for Post Cardiac Arrest Care were developed based on evidence from OHCA. The aim of this study was to compare characteristics and outcomes in patients admitted to intensive care after IHCA and OHCA. Methods: A retrospective multicenter observ
BACKGROUND: Limited data are available on the incidence of mechanical complications after ultrasound-guided central venous catheterisation. We aimed to determine the incidence of mechanical complications in hospitals where real-time ultrasound guidance is clinical practice for central venous access and to identify variables associated with mechanical complications.METHODS: All central venous cathe
CONTEXT: Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common chromosomal aberration in women; it is the result of structural or numeric abnormalities in the X chromosome. Autoimmune hypothyroidism has been recognized as one of the more prominent disorders associated with TS. OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to study the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in TS. METHODS: A cross-sectional, longitudinal, 25-year follo
Denna uppsats berör hur automatiserat beslutsfattande kan komma att påverka rättssäkerheten inom förvaltningen. Automatiserat beslutsfattande är särskilt vanligt förekommande inom de delar av förvaltningen där en stor mängd liknande ärenden avgörs. Att beslutsfattandet automatiseras kan innebära stora fördelar för förvaltningen och för de enskilda som berörs av besluten. Tillgängligheten ökar och This thesis is an investigation on how automated decision-making can affect the principle of legal certainty within the administration. Automated decision-making is particularly common within parts of the Swedish administration that deals with a large number of similar cases every year. Automation of decisions can lead to great benefits, both for the administration and for the individuals affected
Collective bargaining agreements conceptualizes a major part of the construction of employment conditions for the Swedish labour market. However, the industry of elite football has historically not fully embraced the complete extent of this method of structuring employment. However, in 2023 the key stakeholders in Swedish women’s elite football, SFS, EFD, Unionen, AGA, individual players and clubs
