Following intense research efforts, modulation of the immune system has finally proved to be a viable approach for treating malignant disease. Recently, chimeric antigen receptor redirected T cells have achieved promising outcomes in patients with B-cell malignancies and they are currently also being investigated in other haematological malignancies, solid tumours and viral infections. Compared wi

Background: Insufficient physical activity is a growing public health concern and is closely linked to obesity in both adults and children. Swedish physical activity on prescription (PAP) is effective in increasing physical activity levels in adults, but knowledge about how PAP is used in paediatric healthcare is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to explore experiences of working with PAP for c

Purpose: This study, based on data from an empirical investigation, combines quantitative and qualitative approaches in a mixed-method design to explore dependency in elderly people newly diagnosed with cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To define a minimum Standard Set of outcome measures and case-mix factors for monitoring, comparing, and improving healthcare for patients with clinically diagnosed hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) with a focus on defining the outcomes that matter most to patients. METHODS: An international Working Group (WG) of patients, arthroplasty register experts, orthopedic surgeons, primary care

Objective: Vaccinating healthcare workers (HCWs) against influenza is one of the most important methods of decreasing influenza transmission among at-risk patients in healthcare facilities. However, despite recommendations, the rate of uptake of influenza vaccine among HCWs remains low. The objective of this metaanalysis was to determine the most important predictors of seasonal influenza vaccine

OBJECTIVE: To explore the interactions concerning the frail and elderly patients having to do with discharge from acute hospital wards and their participation in medical decision-making. The views of the patients and the medical staff were both investigated.DESIGN: A qualitative observational and interview study using the grounded theory.SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: The setting was three hospitals in

BACKGROUND: Knowledge about the prevalence of women with breast implants is paramount in calculations of risks and in estimations of effects on screening and breast cancer treatment. Most of the estimations of prevalence made to date are rough and often based on sales data. The main aim of this study was to calculate the prevalence of breast implants in Swedish women. The secondary aim was to inve

OBJECTIVE: We review the existing research on environmentally sustainable surgical practices to enable SAO to advocate for improved environmental sustainability in operating rooms across the country. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Climate change refers to the impact of greenhouse gases emitted as a byproduct of human activities, trapped within our atmosphere and resulting in hotter and more variable

Objective: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common healthcare-associated infection. The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of a silicone catheter coated with an ultrathin layer of a combination of the noble metals gold, palladium and silver (BIP™–silicone catheter) could reduce the incidence of CAUTI and antibiotic prescription compared with

Swedish social services and healthcare systems have been bound by law since 2010 to collaborate when a client requires multiple interventions. This is called a Coordinated Individual Plan (CIP) to prevent clients from being overlooked by healthcare and social services. There has since been published several official reports that highlight the shortcomings of CIP. Our aim of this study was to exami

Bakgrund: Sverige har upplevt en demografisk förändring där 20% av befolkningen har utländsk bakgrund vilket skapar nya krav på hälso- och sjukvården. Hudbedömning är särskilt utmanande eftersom variationer i hudfärg påverkar diagnos och behandling. För att undvika felbedömningar och upprätthålla en god vårdkvalitet behöver vårdpersonal, inklusive distriktssköterskor, kunskap om melaninrik hud. SBackground: Sweden has experienced a demographic shift, with 20% of the population now having a foreign background, which creates new demands on the healthcare system. Skin assessment is particularly challenging as variations in skin color impact diagnosis and treatment. To avoid misdiagnoses and maintain high-quality care, healthcare professionals, including district nurses, need knowledge about

Parametric design systems serve as powerful assistive technologies in the design process by aiding the generation of a vast number of design alternatives. However, with their focus on low-level engineering and structural form, parametric systems do not automatically fulfil cognitively founded people-centred behavioural design criteria. We propose a precedent-based design approach for parametric sy
