Background: The complex management of health needs in multimorbid patients, alongside limited cost data, presents challenges in developing cost-effective patient-care pathways. We estimated the costs of managing 171 dyads and 969 triads in Belgium, taking into account the influence of morbidity interactions on costs. Methods: We followed a retrospective longitudinal study design, using the linked
Background: Cognitive reserve and resilience are terms used to explain interindividual variability in maintenance of cognitive health in response to adverse factors, such as brain pathology in the context of aging or neurodegenerative disorders. There is substantial interest in identifying tractable substrates of resilience to potentially leverage this phenomenon into intervention strategies. One
BACKGROUND: Though school-aged children (SAC) are at high risk of malaria, they are the ones that benefit the least from malaria prevention measures. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of malaria prevention education (MPE) on insecticide-treated bed net (ITN) utilization and prompt diagnosis, reported incidence and treatment (PDAT) of malaria. Qualitative ev
BakgrundAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) är en vanlig neuropsykiatrisk diagnossom påverkar ungefär 5% av jordens barn, med en större andel pojkar än flickor.Diagnosen debuterar oftast i barndomen och kännetecknas av svårigheter meduppmärksamhet, hyperaktivitet och impulsivitet. Dessa symtom gör det svårt för barnatt hantera vardagens krav, särskilt i skolmiljöer som ställer höga kraBackgroundChildren diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) commonlyexhibit academic underachievement. The condition is thought to be linked to adysregulation of the dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) systems, which arenormalized with pharmacological medication. While pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions are available, more than 50% abort treatment after o
Monitoring natural events at ultrafast timescales is a prerequisite for our continued understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes. Due to exponential advancements in knowledge and optical technology, the field of ultrafast videography has seen a sudden uptick in activity beginning in the mid-2010s. Today, the field has matured past its infancy and is slowly becoming a standard too
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det råder delade meningar om hur man bäst tar hand om patienter med lindrig primär hyperparatyreoidism (PHPT), dvs. överfunktion i en eller flera av de fyra bisköldkörtlarna med endast lätt förhöjning av kalciumnivån i blodet. Det finns de som förordar operation, medan andra anser att det inte behövs någon behandling så länge sjukdomen inte förvärras. Syftet med det aktThere is an ongoing controversy regarding how to take care of patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Some recommend surgical treatment at diagnosis, others just follow-up as long as there is no evidence of disease progression. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate cardiac and skeletal risk factors related to the duration of mild PHPT. Fifty patients with mild PHPT were randomized
Popular Abstract in Swedish Köpenhamnsevangeliariet skrevs och illuminerades i England omkring år 1000, och intar en viktig position i konsthistorien genom sina ikonografiska likheter med det 300 år äldre Lindisfarneevangeliariet. I föreliggande avhandling behandlas handskriften i sin helhet med avseende på dess framställning och senare historia, men den huvudsakliga analysen rör bildernas stilistThe subject of this thesis is the Copenhagen Gospel Book , written and illuminated in England c 970 with additions from c 1020. The thesis is divided into three main parts focusing on different aspects of the manuscript. The first part deals with problems concerning provenance, palæography, later additions and the physical architecture of the manuscript. The author questions the opinion that the m
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kambrium är en tidsperiod i jordens historia som sträckte sig från 542 till 488 miljoner år sedan. Denna period kan vidare delas in i tre epoker: tidigkambrium, mellankambrium och furongian. I kambriums inledningsskede ägde en intensiv och snabb utveckling av livet rum och det var under denna tid som i stort sett alla kända djurstammar utvecklades. Denna viktiga händelsThis thesis is based on studies of upper middle Cambrian through Furongian strata in Scandinavia with focus on trilobite biostratigraphy, taxonomy, paleoecology, and intercontinental correlation. The material studied derives mainly from Västergötland and Scania, southern Sweden. Three new trilobite species are described: Macropyge (Promacropyge) scandinavica, Elkanaspis kinnekullensis, and Parabol
The fact that Sweden has been spared from war on its soil for almost 200 years, has not stopped Swedish citizens from participating in conflicts worldwide during this period. This has been described, especially from the soldiers perspective. The contribution of Swedish physicians has not been written about to the same extent. When Mussolini's Italy in October 1935 invaded the poor and underdevelop
This thesis examines the scholarly study of Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, especially the way in which the field has been shaped by the discovery of the Winchester MS in 1934. Owing to the complex relationship between the manuscript and the printed edition of 1485, both contradictory and co-dependent, Le Morte seems to invite a number of narratives regarding its origins and originality whil
This is one of the first reference works to survey existing research on transparency and explore its meaning and significance in different areas. It provides an up-to-date account of existing work on and approaches to transparency in economic research. Contributions are authoritative, yet accessible and approach transparency from a range of discplines. In recent years, the term 'transparency' has

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syfte: Att studera de inter- och intramolekylära processer som sker efter excitation av en porfyrinmolekyl. De huvudsakliga pigmenten i det fotosyntetiska antennsystemet; klorofyll a, klorofyll b, samt bakterioklorofyll a är alla porfyriner, som absorberar solljus och transporterar energin till ett reaktionscenter där energin används för laddningsseparation och elektroThis thesis describes inter and intramolecular dynamics in porphyrin molecules. To create a basis for understanding the energy and electron transfer processes in photosynthesis, the ultrafast dynamics of monomeric chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and bacteriochlorophyll a were studied with ultrashort laser pulses. The transient absorption spectra of all three molecules were found to have pronounced co
The climate is changing, something that many scientists correlate to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. The effluent that is considered to have the highest impact on global warming is carbon dioxide, when effect and quantity are taken into account. Most projections however, show that the effect is reversible if the amount of carbon dioxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere is decreased.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease with a highly variable prognosis. Since new treatment strategies are emerging, there is a need for prognostic markers in order to help allocate patients to the optimal treatment. When comparison is made to the general population, there is an increased mortality rate in this study, both in the series as a whole and in the subgroups of men and
