Central venous catheter misplacement is common (approximately 7%) after right subclavian vein catheterisation. To avoid it, ultrasound-guided tip navigation may be used during the catheterisation procedure to help direct the guidewire towards the lower superior vena cava. We aimed to determine the number of central venous catheter misplacements when using the right supraclavicular fossa ultrasound

BACKGROUND: Nosocomial outbreaks of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can have devastating consequences from both a resource cost and patient healthcare perspective. Relying on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for identifying infected individuals may result in missed cases. Screening for antibodies after an outbreak can help to find missed cases and better illuminate rout

Current criteria for the diagnosis of CKD in adults include persistent signs of kidney damage, such as increased urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio or a GFR below the threshold of 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 This threshold has important caveats because it does not separate kidney disease from kidney aging, and therefore does not hold for all ages. In an extensive review of the literature, we found that G

Gambling disorder is associated with severe financial, social, and psychological consequences, but treatment-seeking rates have been described to be low. Apart from formal treatment, motivational interventions in nontreatment-seeking high-risk gamblers have been shown to be promising. However, little is known about the effectiveness and acceptability of such motivational interventions carried out

BACKGROUND: Patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) is one option for the treatment of isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis, but there are limited data regarding the procedure and results. Because isolated patellofemoral arthritis is relatively uncommon, available case series generally are small, and even within national registries, sample sizes are limited. Combining data from multiple registries may

Extended AbstractIn this paper, I examine why the Gallipoli War narrative has become increasingly important in the discourse of the JDP (Justice and Development Party) governments over the last two decades, and how this visible tendency is related to the construction and protection of the neoliberal government in Turkey. I frame the discussion by utilizing Loïc Wacquant’s concept of the “centaur s

A number of deleterious health effects have been identified from exposure to outdoor airborne particulate matter. Given that in developed countries we spend majority of our time indoors, in private homes about 65 % (Brashe et al., 2005), the understanding of this exposure is important, yet knowledge is sparse. Particle levels indoors are affected by indoor sources, infiltration from outdoors or pa

Overtourism encapsulates the zeitgeist of contemporary tourism and was - for a few years - the buzzword within media reports on tourism. It gained attention as an unsustainable consequence of the intensification of place management practices in urban economic planning strategy. Stories about “the invasion” of visitors into a number of popular European cities frequently circulated in news and socia

Cancer, a group of diseases with abnormal cell growth, is today very common in our society. There are different forms of cancer, which all display different symptoms, but still have mutual characteristics. One such is the way cancer cells create energy which, like healthy cells, starts with glycolysis of glucose to pyruvate. In healthy cells, with sufficient oxygen supply, the enzyme pyruvate dehy

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet dödshjälp, och under vilka förutsättningar gärningsmannaansvar inträder enligt svensk rätt. Flertalet olika dödshjälpsformer avhandlas såsom medhjälp till självmord, barmhärtighetsmord, assisterat döende och eutanasi. Gemsamma nämnare för alla begrepp är att annan än målsägande, med dennes samtycke, direkt eller indirekt medverkar till målsägandens död. Dödshjälp i sig ärThe essay deals with the subject of euthanasia, and the conditions under which perpetrator liability arises under Swedish law. Most different forms of euthanasia are dealt with, such as aiding and abetting suicide, compassionate murder, assisted dying and euthanasia. Common denominators for all concepts are that someone other than the victim, with the victim’s consent, directly or indirectly contr

Fire-safety documentation is an essential part of regular inspections during the building operations and maintenance phase. As help, service drawings exist to detail the positions of various fire-safety devices and their addresses, as well as fire zone coverage throughout the floors and sectors of a building. Automatically extracting this information would be immensely helpful towards, for example

Översvämningshotade byggnader är ett växande problem som uppkommer till följd av havsnivåhöjningen. Problemet är större i södra delar av landet, där många fastigheter riskerar att ta skada eller förstöras till följd av översvämningar. För att förbereda Skåne och Halland för framtiden behövs därför informationen hur havsnivåhöjningen kommer uttrycka sig. Detta projekt fokuserar på att samla, förvalBuildings threatened by folding is an ever-increasing problem due to sea level rise. The problem is greater in the southern parts of Sweden compared to the rest of the country, where a lot of properties are at risk of being destroyed or damaged as a consequence of floods. To prepare Scania and Halland for the future, information about the sea level rise is therefore needed. This project focuses on

AIM: We investigate if merged gridded satellite rainfall products (CHIRPS, MSWEP, or SUPER), used with the HYPE hydrological model, can replace limited rain gauge measurements when modelling streamflow in poorly gauged basins. Three research questions frame this aim: (1) How does the HYPE hydrological model perform in a poorly gauged basin? (2) Which rainfall product performs better (CHIRPS, MSWEP

Background: – Adverse muscle composition (AMC), defined by low muscle volume and increased muscle fat infiltration, has been associated with comorbidity and poor function in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and increased mortality in metabolic disorders and the general population. We investigated whether MRI-derived muscle composition is associated with all-cause mortality in a UK Biobank (UKB) imagi

 LTHs 11:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 9 december 2021  Abstract—The paper presents an effort to structure the course evaluation meetings at the Civil Engineering program (M.Sc.Eng.) at LTH Faculty of Engineering, at Lund University. A scheme has been developed to be used at the yearly course evaluation meetings to structure and guide the discussions between the students, teachers, and th

Microsoft Word - Ellervik2.doc Sammanfattning—I syfte att väcka intresse för kemi och kemi/bioteknik sjösatte vi 2007 den kemiska julkalendern – en satsning riktad mot mellan- och högstadiet – där spektakulära experiment intar huvudrollen. Den kemiska julkalendern hade sin hemvist på LTH’s hemsida och en ny lucka kunde öppnas varje dag fram till julafton. Bakom varje lucka fanns en kort filmsnutt

Support for managers This page provides support and information on the recruitment process for post-doctoral fellows. Recruiting a new postdoctoral researcher is a strategic decision and often a major investment for the department. A well-run recruitment process increases the chances of a successful recruitment and minimizes the risks of recruitment failure. A postdoctoral position is a merit-base
