Objective To investigate whether a Medication Report can reduce the number of medication errors when elderly patients are discharged from hospital. Method We conducted a prospective intervention with retrospective controls on patients at three departments at Lund University Hospital, Sweden that where transferred to primary care. The intervention group, where patients received a Medication Report
Several scenarios have been proposed to explain the presence of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters. Many of them invoke multiple generations of stars to explain the observed chemical abundance anomalies, but it has also been suggested that self-enrichment could occur via accretion of ejecta from massive stars on to the circumstellar disc of low-mass pre-main sequence stars. These sc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ekonomin och välfärden är starkt beroende av tillförlitlig transport och energiförsörjningsteknologi. En stor del av denna teknik bygger på användandet av förbränningsmotorer. Då dessa till antalet är så stort utgör de tillsammans en stor miljöbelastning. Därför måste det läggas stora resurser på förbättrad motorstyrning och avgasrening. En av restprodukterna från förBoth the global economy and the society in general are dependent on the availability of reliable transportation. Most transportation technology involves the use of internal combustion engines in one way or another. Because of the large numbers of internal combustion engines in use around the world, their emissions have a significant environmental impact. Therefore, considerable efforts have been i
Soft tissue tumors are highly heterogeneous with more than 100 subtypes. The chapter describes a large number of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumor entities. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas (ARMS) and embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (ERMS) show largely similar patterns of genomic imbalances, although most of them occur at higher frequencies among the latter. The chromosome numbers of 70 undifferentiated pl
Traditional linkage analysis and genome-wide association studies have identified HLA and a number of non-HLA genes as genetic factors for islet autoimmunity (IA) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the relative risk associated with previously identified non-HLA genes is usually very small as measured in cases/controls from mixed populations. Genetic associations for IA and T1D may be more accurate
The method of using short laser and X-ray pulses to investigate dynamics in materials (pump-probe) has been used for several decades. This thesis presents work that was carried out using these sources of light to reveal acoustic, thermal and non-thermal dynamics. The dynamics were induced in the samples by depositing energy with a pulsed laser, and probed with X-ray diffraction. The recent increas
Paperboard has been the basis for packaging materials used to aseptically store and protect food and beverages for a long time. To ensure that there are no bacteria that can spoil the product, sterilizing treatments are made. One such treatment is the retorting process, which involves heating to high temperatures in a pressurized environment of water vapor and dry air. The porous nature of paper m
This methodological and electrophysiological study was undertaken with the aim of obtaining possibilities for evaluating objectively the ethical value of using high concentration CO2 inhalation as pre-slaughter anaesthesia for swine. A technique for implantation of recording electrodes into the porcine neocortex and limbic system is described, as are results of EEG recording from these brain regio
