Aim: Previous studies evaluating the relationship between sex and post-resuscitation care and outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are conflicting. We investigated the association between sex and outcomes as well as neurodiagnostic testing in a prospective multicenter international registry of patients admitted to intensive care units following OHCA. Methods: OHCA survivors enr

Objective: To explore associations between four methods assessing long-term neurocognitive outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and early hypoxic-ischemic neuronal brain injury assessed by the biomarker serum neurofilament light (NFL), and to compare the agreement for the outcome methods. Methods: An explorative post-hoc study was conducted on survivor data from the international Target Te

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning på svenska ___________________________________________________________ I hypofysen bildas och frisätts hormoner vilka dels har en direkt verkan och dels styr andra körlars insöndring av hormon i kroppen. Den vanligaste orsaken till bristande hypofysfunktion (hypofysinsufficiens) hos vuxna patienter är tumörer belägna i hypofysen eller i hypofysens närhetPremature atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk factors and increased cardiovascular mortality have been shown in patients with hypopituitarism on conventional hormone treatment, but without growth hormone (GH) replacement. The aims of paper I-III were to investigate separately the risks for cerebrovascular and cardiac mortality as well as the incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with hy

En viktig del av en läkares yrkesliv är att hantera svåra patientsamtal. Alla läkarekommer någon gång under yrkeslivet medverka i sådana samtal. Brister ipatientkommunikation har visat sig vara en bidragande orsak till att patienter fårsämre vård. Utbildning i patientkommunikation är därför en central del i enläkarutbildning. I följande licentiatavhandling undersöktes hur studenter och lärareser pBeing able to manage challenging patient communication and the associated emotional burden is a vital skill for physicians that is regularly utilized in clinical work. Therefore, it is reasonable that medical students get the opportunity to acquire and develop the relevant knowledge and skills related to challenging patient communication during their education. Simulated patient scenarios are usef

Acquisition of irregular verb forms in L2 French: does the L1 of the learners explain the difference ? This study explores L1 effects on the production of subject-verb agreement in number (singular vs. plural) in L2 French. L1 influence has rarely been explored in detail in this context, especially compared to other factors such as input frequency of specific verb forms, singular vs plural entitie

BACKGROUND: The CA-125 tumor marker has limitations when used to distinguish between benign and malignant ovarian masses. We therefore establish likelihood curves of six subgroups of ovarian pathology based on CA-125 and menopausal status.METHODS: This cross-sectional study conducted by the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis group involved 3,511 patients presenting with a persistent adnexal mass

When conducting randomised clinical trials, the choice of methodology and statistical analyses will influence the results. If the planned methodology is not of optimal quality and predefined in detail, there is a risk of biased trial results and interpretation. Even though clinical trial methodology is already at a very high standard, there are many trials that deliver biased results due to the im

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic substantially magnified the inequity gaps among vulnerable populations. Both public health (PH) and primary health care (PHC) have been crucial in addressing the challenges posed by the pandemic, especially in the area of vulnerable populations. However, little is known about the intersection between PH and PHC as a strategy to mitigate the inequity gap. This stud

Avhandlingen är en studie av hur stöd och service organiseras kring fyra barn med funktionshinder och deras familjer. I denna service är normalt flera olika formella organisationer involverade, som barnhabilitering, förskola/skola/särskola, hjälpmedelscentral, assistentorganisationer, sjukvård m fl. Dessutom kan barnets och familjens situation vara komplicerad på många sätt. Själva funktionshindreThis study explores the organising of services for disabled children and their families in Sweden. It is based on 83 interviews with parents and involved staff surrounding four disabled children, with both physical and intellectual disabilities, and between two and nine years old. Further, 15 meetings between parents and staff were observed, primarily serving as background material. The service pr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Neonatal intensivvård är under ständig utveckling, vilket medfört att allt mindre barn överlever efter att ha fötts prematurt. Ett tydligt mått på detta är att gränsen för livsduglighet (den gestationsålder då individen beräknas ha 50% chans att överleva) har skjutits bakåt till att under de senaste två decennierna ligga runt graviditetsvecka 24. Barn som föds Although advances in neonatal care have resulted in increased survival rates among extremely preterm infants (born < 28 gestational weeks), they still face substantial morbidity risks during the neonatal period. The question of possible later outcomes is a key issue faced by health care professionals working with these infants. Objectives The objective of the present thesis was to explore develo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie har gått ut på att relatera litogeo- kemin (= kemin i bergarter) kring Stollbergs järn- och sulfidmalmsfält i Bergslagen till mineralogi och geologisk utveckling. Bergarterna kring Stollberg, liksom kring nästan alla andra järn- och sulfidmalmer (Cu, Pb, Zn) i Bergslagen, utgörs av vulkaniska bildningar. De vulkaniska bergarterna och tillhörande malmer bilThe Paleoproterozoic Fe-Pb-Zn-Mn(-Ag) Stollberg deposit is situated in the Bergslagen region of south-central Sweden. 6.65 Mt of sphalerite, galena and manganiferous skarn magnetite ore occur as disseminations and semi-massive to massive ore bodies hosted by volcanogenic sediments and carbonate rocks. Field relations, mineralogy and geochemistry suggest that the felsic volcanic rocks at Stoll- be

This document presents a monitoring protocol to assess the overall performance of a lighting and/or daylighting retrofit of a building. This protocol covers four key aspects:1. Energy use;2. Retrofit costs;3. Photometric assessment;4. User assessment.This document develops each aspect in detail, presenting the required measurements and necessary equipment as well as providing guidelines for data a

This project explores how a beginner friendly music production device can lower the threshold for engaging with sound creation and rhythm making. Many existing tools rely on prior knowledge or technical skill, which discourages new users from experimenting in creative ways. This project instead focuses on quick feedback, clear interaction and a tactile experience that invites curiosity and play. T

Background: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of lymph nodes is a widely used method for evaluating lymphadenopathy. FNAB offers general advantages of rapid turnaround time, low cost and minimal morbidity, and more specific advantages in various clinical situations, such as deeply located lymph nodes or patients with significant comorbidities. The FNAB sample can be utilized for a wide range of

Fungal necromass is increasingly recognized as a major component of soil organic matter, and identifying the factors that govern its formation is critical for understanding and predicting the global carbon cycle. Among these factors, the biochemical composition of mycelial residues at senescence, particularly melanin content, has been consistently identified as a key determinant of the fraction of

The incidence of melanoma is rising, increasing the need for efficient diagnostics. Excisional biopsy and histopathology remain the “gold standard” but often require multiple surgical incisions due to limitations in making a visual assessment of melanoma borders either by eye or using dermatoscopy. This challenge partly arises from the inability to non-invasively produce the necessary spectral con
