Background: General practitioners (GPs) do not see men with localised urinary tract infection (UTI) very often which limits their possibility of developing expertise in the area. To gain knowledge of male patients' experiences and perspectives on localised UTIs, qualitative research is needed.Aim: To explore expectations, experiences and symptoms in men with localised urinary tract infection in prBackgroundGeneral practitioners (GPs) do not see men with localised urinary tract infection (UTI) very often which limits their possibility of developing expertise in the area.

Cambodia is preparing a scale-up of the Continuum of Care for people living with HIV with the goal of eliminating new HIV infections by 2020. To measure if Cambodia is reaching its goal it is necessary to obtain high-quality strategic information. This case study looked into how HIV Case Reporting, as one component of strategic information, facilitates the monitoring of the epidemic. Doing so, it

BACKGROUND: Several therapies are available for psoriasis, including in some countries oral fumaric acid derivatives (FADs). Even if FADs are not available in the Italian market, they can be prescribed and reimbursed by the National Health Service, on request from the treating physician, when considered as a valuable option in selected patient.METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of the

Objective: To estimate and compare the lifetime risk of total knee replacement surgery (TKR) for osteoarthritis (OA) between countries, and over time. Method: Data on primary TKR procedures performed for OA in 2003 and 2013 were extracted from national arthroplasty registries in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Life tables and population data were also obtained for each country. Lif

Background: Multimorbidity is increasing globally, affecting over one-third of the population. Adults with complex needs often experience physical, mental, and cognitive disorders, leading to increased healthcare utilization, reduced quality of life, and social challenges. The frequent co-occurrence of psychiatric conditions, substance abuse, addiction, and homelessness highlights the complexity o

Preliminary mobile was considered to be a device to make human connections easier. But today the consumption of this device has been evolved to a platform for gaming, web surfing and GPS-enabled application capabilities. Embedding GPS in handheld devices, altered them to significant trajectory data gathering facilities. Raw GPS trajectory data is a series of points which contains hidden informatio

IntroductionFloods are the most common type of natural disaster worldwide and are projected to become morefrequent and more extreme. Cambodia is prone to annual, seasonal flooding. Floods impact health inmany ways and can disrupt the health system through destruction of infrastructure and loss ordiversion of human, economic and physical resources.

The health among men and women with same-sex sexuality experience, i.e. attraction to and/or sexual relations with someone of the same sex, in Sub-Saharan Africa is an increasing public health concern. Prior research on men who have sex with men (MSM) has demonstrated that their healthcare utilisation is limited due to stigma and discrimination. However, little is known about the extent to which t

Previous research shows that generalized trust, the belief that most people can be trusted, is conducive to people's health. However, only recently have longitudinal studies suggested an additional reciprocal pathway from health back to trust. Drawing on a diverse body of literature that shows how egalitarian social policy contributes to the promotion of generalized trust, we hypothesize that this

Cognitive diseases is the collective term for a number of diseases that affect the brain and destroy the ability to think and act logically, among which Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. At Lund University, Professor Oskar Hansson and his colleagues are carrying out research to find methods that improve diagnosis as well as quality of life for people with cognitive diseases. Currently, appro

15% of all five year olds and 5-10% of all 7 year olds struggle with bedwetting, a condition medically known as enuresis. Current treatment methods rely primarily on the family to carry out an 8 week treatment. In order to involve healthcare providers in the process and create an opportunity for individualized treatments, Pjama AB has developed an enuresis alarm system. This system directly shares

The inclusion of family members in the acute care of older persons with complex needs results in better coordination of care and reduces the frequency and/or duration of rehospitalisation. Therefore, healthcare professionals need a tool to assess the collaboration with family members on acute hospital wards. The aims were to test the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Family Col

It is often a challenge for a child to communicate their pain, and their possibilities to do so should be strengthened in healthcare settings. Digital self-assessment provides a potential solution for person-centered care in pain management and promotes child participation when a child is ill. A child's perception of pain assessment differs when it is assessed using digital or analog formats. As w

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to obtain a deeper understanding of the process of motivation for change in patients with prolonged musculoskeletal disorders and to identify factors that might influence change resulting in increased independence.METHOD: A qualitative two-year follow-up study. Data collection and analysis were performed according to the qualitative case study

During severe storms, high waves and water levels can reach the subaerial portion of the beach and cause significant morphological change at elevations where the waves cannot reach under typical sea conditions. Coastal dunes may suffer direct wave impact and erode, increasing the likelihood of overwash and breaching, potentially flooding low-lying areas behind the dunes. Barrier islands are also v
