Övervikt och sjuklig fetma är ett ökande problem i hela världen och ett hot mot folkhälsan. Sjuklig fetma definieras som ett BMI på över 40 och är en kronisk genetisk sjukdom. Fetma förknippas ofta med nedsatt livskvalitet. Fysiska, känslomässiga, och sociala funktioner försämras vid fetma. Magsäckskirurgi (Gastric bypass) kan vara en bra metod för patienter med sjuklig fetma att få en långvarig v
Studies have shown that people with mental illness are at risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Contributing causes may be lifestyle and atypical antipsychotic drugs that this patient group normally takes. At this point psychiatry have focused on treating the patient’s psychiatric symptoms and not physical health problems such as high BMI, abnormal waist/hip ratio, elevated blood pressure, and di

The identification of a permanent establishment is the principle used by the Member States of the European Union to determine whether a company is subject to the tax jurisdiction of a State. In the digital context, the notion of permanent establishment is often questioned by States, as companies can provide services remotely without having any physical presence in the territory of a State. This th
This thesis examines political consumerism as a political tool for change. Consumers' attitudes and behaviour towards political consumerism is of special interest. The method used is a questionnaire with 59 participating students. Their answers are analysed both quantitatively and, to a lesser degree, qualitatively. The theoretical framework consists of Fishbein and Ajzen's theory of reaso
This 12-month prospective controlled intervention evaluated the effect of a general school based physical activity program on muscle strength, physical performance and body composition in prepubertal girls. Fifty-three girls aged 7-9 years involved in a school based exercise program [40 min/day of general physical activity per school day (200 min/week)] were compared with 50 age-matched girls who
Since the 1980s, prenatal detection of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CLP) is possible with a transabdominal ultrasound. The improvement of prenatal detection has resulted in an increased demand for prenatal information and counselling. The aim of this study was to, by means of a questionnaire, evaluate how families, who received the diagnosis prenatally and postnatally, respectively, thi
Background: In Sweden, a person with substance abuse can be reported to the social services for an investigation about commitment to coercive care. After a change in legislation, municipalities varied greatly in the ratio of commitments/reports compared with the period before the legislation was amended. Aims: The primary aims of this study were first, to investigate whether subjects from municipa
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the exposure-response relationships of hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) and methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) and evaluated the applicability of the total plasma protein adducts (TPPA) of these anhydrides as biomarkers of exposure and risk. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study of 139 workers in a plant manufacturing electrical capacitors, the long-term
Obesity in children is difficult to treat, but it seems to be easier to treat than adult obesity. The first step in treatment is to identify effective advice relating to nutrition and physical activity. In most treatment studies the macronutrient composition of the diet is not of major importance for treatment outcome. In relation to physical activity fat-utilisation strategies have been described
The purpose of the study was to compare changes in oral health during intubation until 48 hours after extubation in neuroscience intensive care unit (ICU) patients enrolled in a standard or a comprehensive oral care protocol. The effects of manual toothbrushing (standard group, n = 31) were compared with those of tongue scraping, electric toothbrushing, and moisturizing (comprehensive group, n = 2
ABSTRACT Introduction. Sexual coercion is recognized as a serious societal problem. Correlates and risk factors of sexually abusive behavior in females are not well known. Aim. Etiological theory and empirical study of female perpetrators of sexual coercion are usually based on small or highly selected samples. Specifically, population-based data are needed to elucidate risk/protective factors. Ma
The Lundby Study is a prospective cohort study, which has followed a Swedish unselected community sample between 1 July 1947 and 1 July 1997. The aim was to study the risks of mental morbidity and different DSM-IV disorders in subjects with intellectual disability (ID) in the Lundby cohort between 1 July 1947 to 30 June 1997. The diagnosis of ID was re-evaluated according to DSM-IV in subjects who
Ethically informed and committed consumers are crucial to the functioning of many alternative food systems. These consumers are poorly understood, though, and their common description as informed and democratically minded finds little resemblance to the real world. Few individuals fit the ideal of the concept of the so-called citizen-consumer. This commentary therefore argues that both researchers
BACKGROUND: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is currently considered the reference standard for in vivo assessment of myocardial infarction (MI). There is, however, no international consensus on how MI quantification from CMR should be performed. The aim of this study was to test how previously published manual quantification of MI using CMR images compares with MI quantification using a semiautom
Age at injury is believed to be a factor that strongly influences functional outcome after nerve injury. However, there have been few long-term evaluations of the results of nerve repair and reconstruction in children. Our aim was to evaluate the long-term functional outcome of nerve repair or reconstruction at the forearm level in patients with a complete median and/or ulnar nerve injury at a you
Objective: To study the effects of different doses of platelet activating factor receptor antagonist WEB 2170 on animal survival, haemodynamics, reperfusion and ultrastructural changes in the ischaemic liver in rats undergoing 90-min total hepatic inflow interruption (THII). Design: Sixty-five rats were divided into five groups. All animals underwent 90-min THII. Group 1 served as controls. Group
Background: The aim of this study is to report the short-term results of catheter-directed foam sclerotherapy (CDFS) in the treatment of axial saphenous vein incompetence. Patients and methods: Data of all patients undergoing CDFS for symptomatic primary incompetence of the great or small saphenous vein were prospectively collected. Treatment results in terms of occlusion rate and patients grade
To evaluate an intervention aimed at enriching day centres for people with psychiatric disabilities by exploring staff experiences from developing and implementing the intervention.
The shape and features of a typical abbey church of the Birgittine Order are studied, based on the stipulations laid down by St. Birgitta of Sweden herself. The architecture is interpreted as paradigmatic of the kind of spiritual reform that St. Birgitta aimed at.
