Substance use disorders are regarded as one of the most prevalent, deadly and costly of health problems. Research has consistently found that the prevalence of other psychiatric disorders among those with substance related disorders is substantial. Combined, these disorders lead to considerable disability and health years lost worldwide as well as extraordinary societal costs. Relatively little of

INTRODUCTION: Hip and knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Currently, the course of deterioration in pain and physical functioning in individuals with osteoarthritis is difficult to predict. Factors such as socioeconomic status and comorbidity contribute to progression of osteoarthritis, but clear associations have not been established. There is a need for early identifi

BACKGROUND: Pain is a common complaint presented in healthcare, but most epidemiological pain research has focused either on single pain conditions or on the adult population. The aim of this study was to investigate the 2017 consultation prevalence of a wide range of pain conditions in the general population of young people.METHODS: We used the Skåne Healthcare Register, covering prospectively co

This research was requested by one of the divisional HR departments´of Region Skåne. The research explores the HR personnels’ perception of the organizational structure, in comparison with the aims of the geographical decentralization strategy, Healthcare Skåne 2.0, which was implemented in 2013-2014. Furthermore, it evaluates and analyses the grander implications of being a geographically decentr

Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections and bladder distension are common and preventable adverse events. This study presents a process evaluation of a bladder bundle, designed to change healthcare professionals’ way of thinking and acting to prevent these adverse events, using theories of organizational culture, leadership, and an integrated knowledge translation approach. Aim: T

We can normally offer diploma projects within each of the three subtopics discussed under the nuclear astrophysics and reactions page. Diploma  projects related to experiments at ISOLDEISOLDE diploma projects are currently focused on data analysis, simulations and machine development. Students within these projects often get the opportunity to spend time, in some cases also the complete project wi

Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the completeness of registration of secondary preventive variables comparing on-site visits with telephone consultations during follow-up after myocardial infarction. Design This was an observational study based on the Swedish quality registry SWEDEHEART. Setting and outcome measures We analysed the proportion of missing values for major seconda

Idag präglas världen av teknikutvecklingen som både anses vara en fördel och en nackdel. För den kriminella världen och organiserade ekonomiska brottsligheten är digitaliseringen en fördel. Moderna tekniska lösningar gör det enklare för gärningsmännen att begå brott, såsom penningtvätt vilket regleras i penningtvättslagen (2017:630). Penningtvättsbrott förekommer både nationellt som internationellToday, the world is characterized by technological development that could be considered both as an advantage and a disadvantage. For the criminal world and organized economic crime, digitalization is seen as an advantage. The modern technical solutions make it easier for the perpetrators to commit crimes, such as money laundering which is regulated in the Money Laundering Act (2017:630). Money lau

Aims: To investigate associations between trust in the healthcare system and all-cause, cardiovascular, cancer and other causes mortality. Study design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: A public health questionnaire was conducted in 2008 in Scania, the southernmost part of Sweden, with a 54.1% participation rate with a postal questionnaire and three reminders. In this study 24,833 respondents we

The technical development of high-throughput sequencing technologies and the parallel development of targeted therapies in the last decade have enabled a transition from traditional medicine to personalized treatment and care. In this way, by using comprehensive genomic testing, more effective treatments with fewer side effects are provided to each patient—that is, precision or personalized medici

Driven by an interest in ethical fashion consumption and having identified the necessity for a clear understanding of consumer traits within this increasing phenomenon, we conducted a quantitative research, adopting a objectivist and positivist stance, involving over three-hundred young Swedish consumers. Positioning ourselves along the lines of the behavioral decision theory and assuming a positi

Irritable bowel syndrome has a negative impact on a person's quality of life, but only a few existing studies have been based on patients' own perceptions. This study therefore aimed to collect information on the view of female patients with irritable bowel syndrome regarding what constitutes a good quality of life for them and to create a healthcare model for these patients. For the study, 30 wom

Introduction: Fast-track referral pathways for patients with nonspecific, serious symptoms have been implemented in several countries. Our objective was to analyze time intervals in the diagnostic routes of patients diagnosed with cancer at Sweden’s first Diagnostic Center (DC) for nonspecific symptoms and compare with time intervals of matched control patients. Methods: Adult patients with nonspe

Abstract Background Gene expression signatures hold promise for a molecularly driven division of primary breast cancer with clinical implications. A gap still remains in the application/validation of such signatures in actual clinical treatment groups from unselected, population-based, primary breast cancer receiving current standard of care therapy.

Despite the lack of scientific evidence for the effectiveness of Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (Flexible ACT), the model disseminates rapidly in the mental health services in a number of countries. This is in contrast to many evidence-based practices that often face comprehensive implementation barriers. Knowledge is needed on the dissemination of Flexible ACT to understand the relative s

In this paper we explore cyber security practices in Swedish manufacturing firms. Manufacturing is being trans- formed by new technologies under the label of smart industry or industry 4.0. Most of these technologies are either digital themselves or depend on digital connectivity. Their use is made possible by electronic sensors, actuators, and other devices as well as by data-driven analysis. Thi

Med åldrande befolkningar, ojämn tillgång till vård och brist på personal står dagens sjukvårdssystem inför många utmaningar. Teknologiska framsteg, särskilt inom artificiell intelligens (AI), har varit en av de främsta drivkrafterna för innovation inom flera industrier. Även om hälso- och sjukvårdssektorn utvecklas långsammare jämfört med andra branscher, finns det stor potential att avlasta vårdWith aging populations, unequal access to care, and shortages of staff, healthcare systems today are facing many challenges. Technology advancements, with artificial intelligence (AI) in particular, have been one of the main drivers of innovation in multiple industries. Although the healthcare sector is moving slower compared to other industries, there is great potential for relieving healthcare w
