Popular Abstract in Swedish Njurfunktion inom hjärtkirurgi Akut njursvikt (AKI) efter hjärtkirurgi är en allvarlig komplikation som förekommer i 25-35 % av alla patientfall. AKI medför förhöjd risk för allvarliga komplikationer och död efter hjärtkirurgi. Ett stort fokus ligger på detektion, prevention och behandling av AKI och forskningsfältet uppdateras kontinuerligt. En rad olika läkemedel har Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication after cardiothoracic surgery and is associated with increased short- and long-term mortality risk. Despite extensive studies in the field, a comprehensive understanding of this syndrome has remained elusive, partly due to divergent definitions of AKI and partly due to the limitations of available routine biomarkers to predict,

BACKGROUND: Neurointensive care is moving toward more automated patient management. This study aimed to evaluate a novel external ventricular drainage (EVD) system, the VGuard® system, as a tool for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and automating ventricular drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), focusing on its safety and potential to reduce complications associated with manual EVD manageme

Diagnostic nuclear medicine, more recently also named functional molecular imaging, deals with medical procedures performed to help diagnose a variety of diseases. The procedures are based on the use of tracer amounts of radioactive material, where a radionuclide is attached to a ligand with specific affinity to a physiological, metabolic, or receptor-specific process. To balance the benefit of a

Objective: The decline in suicide rates has leveled off in many countries during the last decade, suggesting that new interventions are needed in the work with suicide prevention. Learnings from investigations of suicide should contribute to the development of these new interventions. However, reviews of investigations have indicated that few new lessons have been learned. To be an effective tool,

Background: Treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) poses a particular challenge given the altered anatomy and inability to perform a standard endoscopic retrograde cholangiogram (ERC). The optimal treatment strategy for intraoperatively encountered CBD stones in post-RYGB patients has not been established. Objectives: To compare outcomes following laparosc

Background: The Self-Harm Antipathy Scale (SHAS) is a questionnaire designed to measure nurses’ attitudes towards self-harm. This can be useful to improve the quality of care provided to individuals who self-harm. Aim: The purpose of this study was to revise and adapt the SHAS for use in Sweden and evaluate the psychometric properties of this Swedish version (Self-Harm Antipathy Scale–Swedish Revi

The association between contextual factors and health inequalities is well documented, also in Brazil. However, questions about how contextual factors actually affect health and well-being persist. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore how contextual factors-i.e., social stratification and neighborhood opportunity structures-are manifested in the lives of the residents of a vulnerable d

Ten per cent of patients with colorectal cancer will develop peritoneal metastases. These metastases are known to have a lesser response to systemic chemotherapy than liver- and lung metastases. Randomized studies have shown that adding cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to this treatment gives a better chance of survival. Recently, a randomized study failed to s

BackgroundThe primary aim of specialised palliative care (SPC) is to improve the quality of life (QoL) for patients with a high symptom burden from a life-threatening disease. This randomised study aimed to assess the QoL impact of early integration of SPC alongside tumour-specific palliative treatment in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.MethodsWe randomly assigned ambulatory patients w

Background: Summary statistics often hide individual patients' suffering, thereby impeding quality improvement efforts. Objectives: We aimed to show the experience of a population with health care toward the end of life while preserving the experience of the individual. Design: We developed a data display method called per-patient illness trajectory analysis. We tested it using a demonstration coh

Sweden’s child welfare services are characterised by intra-organisational specialisation and collaboration with Barnahus as a standard procedure in cases of child abuse. This chapter examines what happens with social workers’ risk assessments when they are both filtered internally at different units and in relation to Barnahus and a criminal law-oriented logic. Various organisational tensions are

The COVID-19 pandemic put a lot of strain on healthcare organizations. Nurses accountfor over 50% of healthcare staff, and how nurses perform in their work is influenced by a number ofhuman and work environmental factors. However, to our knowledge, there has not been a previousstudy with the intention to look at all areas that affect a sustainable working life and how theseimpact nurses’ mental we

Deaths of despair (DoD), encompassing suicide, drug overdose, and alcohol-related mortality, are often linked to social and psychological distress. This study examined the long-term risk of DoD among individuals previously hospitalized for suicide attempts, with a focus on substance use problems and psychiatric disorders as potential risk factors. A prospective cohort of 1044 individuals admitted
