PURPOSE: The DIANA study aimed to evaluate how often antimicrobial de-escalation (ADE) of empirical treatment is performed in the intensive care unit (ICU) and to estimate the effect of ADE on clinical cure on day 7 following treatment initiation.METHODS: Adult ICU patients receiving empirical antimicrobial therapy for bacterial infection were studied in a prospective observational study from Octo

Objective As part of European League against Rheumatism (EULAR)/European Musculoskeletal Conditions Surveillance and Information Network, 20 user-focused standards of care (SoCs) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) addressing 16 domains of care were developed. This study aimed to explore gaps in implementation of these SoCs across Europe. Methods Two cross-sectional surveys on the importance, level of a

PURPOSE: To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) in eyes which IOP had been substantially reduced by intensive topical treatment for one week.METHODS: Patients with newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma were randomized to treatment with three IOP-lowering substances. One week later, 360° argon or selective LTP was performed. IOP was measured before L

Background: Studies have suggested that laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) is advantageous compared with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) regarding hospital stay, blood loss and recovery. Only one randomized study is available, which showed enhanced functional recovery after LDP compared with ODP. Methods: Consecutive patients evaluated at a multidisciplinary tumour board and planned for sta

Popular Abstract in Swedish 2003 års Nobelpris i kemi gick till professor Peter Agre för upptäckten av aquaporinerna. Aquaporiner är proteiner som sitter i membran och bildar kanaler som tillåter vatten och andra små neutrala molekyler att passera genom membranet. Aquaporinerna utgör en mycket gammal och välkonserverad proteinfamilj som finns i alla levande organismer som hittills undersökts. VäxAquaporins, or Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIPs), are integral proteins that facilitate transport of water and other small neutral solutes across biological membranes. They belong to a well conserved and ancient family of proteins, present in all organisms ranging from bacteria to plants and humans. The aquaporin family in plants is large, indicating complex and regulated water transport within the

Objectives: Long-term, placebo-controlled studies of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are not permitted for ethical reasons. Therefore, the advancement of knowledge on longitudinal outcomes in different domains warrants well-designed naturalistic studies. The aim of this study was to explore the 3-year effectiveness of rivastigmine treatment. Methods: The Swedish Alzhe

Introduction: The aim was to evaluate surgical treatment of newly diagnosed uterine cancer in a Swedish population. Material and methods: Data in the GynOp registry from 2008 to 2014 were analyzed. Results: In total, 3443 cases were included: 430 (12%) were robotic-assisted laparoscopic, 272 (8%) laparoscopic, and 2741 (80%) abdominal operations. There was an increasing trend in minimally invasive

Introduction: Regional and hospital decision-makers increasingly require analyses assessing the cost-benefit profile of new cancer drugs. This analysis evaluates the cost-benefit profile of nano albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) in pancreatic cancer, versus other drugs indicated in high-unmet need solid tumour indications in Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden). M

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects about 3.2% of the adult population in the western world and incurs an annual stroke risk of 4.5%. The use of oral anticoagulant (OAC) drugs significantly reduces this risk. OAC drugs seem to be under-utilized, but little is known about why their use is restrained in routine clinical management. The aim of this study was to assess this issue and, from th

Objective. To describe the effects of implementing a robotic surgical program within gynecologic oncology and gynecology at a tertiary referral hospital. Design: Prospective study. Setting: University Hospital, Lund and Lund University, Sweden. Methods. Based on prospective data retrieved for all patients, we evaluated intraoperative times, estimated blood loss, rate of conversion and rate of intr

BACKGROUND: Twin studies have been criticized for upwardly biased estimates that might contribute to the missing heritability problem.METHOD: We identified, from the general Swedish population born 1960-1990, informative sibships containing a proband, one reared-together full- or half-sibling and a full-, step- or half-sibling with varying degrees of childhood cohabitation with the proband. Estima

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head often results in secondary osteoarthritis of the hip joint; however, the pathologic processes underlying the destruction of articular cartilage are not fully understood. Molecular markers in the hip joint fluids were measured to examine the changes in turnover of cartilage and other joint tissues. Marker data were related to clinical, radiological, and histopathol

1 Utvärdering av en utbildningsinsats inom polisutbildningen vid Umeå universitet i samband med kampanjen Hjärnkoll CEPI april 2012 2 BAKGRUND Sedan år 2010 pågår i Sverige en nationell kampanj som handlar om kunskap och attityder till psykisk ohälsa, Hjärnkoll. Som en del av denna kampanj har utvecklats utbildningsmoduler som riktar sig till studenter i olika högskoleutbildningar. Den nya kompone

Thesis Purpose: This study aims to enhance the understanding of factors that discourage consumers from buying pre-owned fashion in a multichannel retail setting. Methodology: Rooted in a qualitative and exploratory method, this study is further guided by an abductive approach. By embracing the essence of the social constructivist epistemology and a relativistic ontological standpoint, it delves i

The study examines the narratives of the Decembrist revolt created in and around Russian state-funded cinema. By exploring the narratives surrounding a particular instance of political dissent in the past, the research seeks to uncover the factors that impact on the negotiation of cultural memory between the text and the audience in the context of state-influenced media. This exploration is based

The construction of episodic memory is an automatic process. Event segmentation theory proposed that segmentation of the continuous perceptual stream into separate memory events occurs when changes in external boundaries lead to changes in internal perceptual and conceptual boundaries. The influence of perceptual and conceptual boundaries on episodic memory encoding has been the subject of intensi

Cytostatika är läkemedel som används för att behandla cancer genom att hämma eller stoppa celldelning. De används även som immunhämmande medel, till exempel vid organtransplantationer och autoimmuna sjukdomar. Eftersom dessa läkemedel påverkar cellers tillväxt kan de vara skadliga även i mycket små mängder om de hamnar i miljön. Cytostatika har upptäckts i ytvatten, grundvatten och dricksvatten i Introduction: Cytostatic pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in the aquatic environment, raising concerns due to their persistence and toxicity. Background: Conventional wastewater treatment processes do not effectively remove these compounds. Advanced oxidation processes, such as ozonation, are needed to degrade cytostatic pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment. However, these process

A Credit Default Swap spread is a reliable measure of credit risk as it is the compensation demanded by a party to bear this risk. Officially, credit risk is denoted as credit ratings announced by credit rating agencies. Since rating announcements contain information regarding credit risk, the market should incorporate this new information into the CDS spread. The aim of this study is to investiga
