Periodontitis related to cardiovascular events and mortality : a long-time longitudinal study

Objective: The present study assessed if individuals ≥ 60 years of age with periodontitis are more likely to develop stroke or ischemic heart diseases, or at a higher risk of death for 17 years. Material and methods: At baseline individuals ≥ 60 received a dental examination including a panoramic radiograph. Periodontitis was defined as having ≥ 30% sites with ≥ 5-mm distance from the cementoename

These European Resuscitation Council Ethics guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the ethical, routine practice of resuscitation and end-of-life care of adults and children. The guideline primarily focus on major ethical practice interventions (i.e. advance directives, advance care planning, and shared decision making), decision making regarding resuscitation, education, and resear

The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) have collaborated to produce these post-resuscitation phase guidelines for adults, which are based on the 2020 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation consensus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The topics covered include post-cardiac arrest syndrome, the differential diagnosis of the caus

Early life differences in behavioral predispositions in two Alligatoridae species

Behavioral predispositions are innate tendencies of animals to behave in a given way without the input of learning. They increase survival chances and, due to environmental and ecological challenges, may vary substantially even between closely related taxa. These differences are likely to be especially pronounced in long-lived species like crocodilians. This order is particularly relevant for comp

Opportunities for an African greenhouse gas observation system

Global population projections foresee the biggest increase to occur in Africa with most of the available uncultivated land to ensure food security remaining on the continent. Simultaneously, greenhouse gas emissions are expected to rise due to ongoing land use change, industrialisation, and transport amongst other reasons with Africa becoming a major emitter of greenhouse gases globally. However,

Ambivalent and Consistent Relationships: The Role of Personal Networks in Cases of Domestic Violence

Social networks are usually considered as positive sources of social support, a role which has been extensively studied in the context of domestic violence. To victims of abuse, social networks often provide initial emotional and practical help as well useful information ahead of formal institutions. Recently, however, attention has been paid to the negative responses of social networks. In this a

Elastic, Dynamic Viscoelastic and Model-Derived Fibril-Reinforced Poroelastic Mechanical Properties of Normal and Osteoarthritic Human Femoral Condyle Cartilage

Osteoarthritis (OA) degrades articular cartilage and weakens its function. Modern fibril-reinforced poroelastic (FRPE) computational models can distinguish the mechanical properties of main cartilage constituents, namely collagen, proteoglycans, and fluid, thus, they can precisely characterize the complex mechanical behavior of the tissue. However, these properties are not known for human femoral

Comparison of integral equations for the Maxwell transmission problem with general permittivities

Two recently derived integral equations for the Maxwell transmission problem are compared through numerical tests on simply connected axially symmetric domains for non-magnetic materials. The winning integral equation turns out to be entirely free from false eigenwavenumbers for any passive materials, also for purely negative permittivity ratios and in the static limit, as well as free from false

1 sonata (e70), for piano

Albert-László Barabási, from the introduction to his book titled Linked: the new science of networks, “Just as diverse humans share skeletons that are almost indistinguishable, we have learned that these diverse maps follow a common blueprint. A string of recent breathtaking discoveries has forced us to acknowledge that amazingly simple and far-reaching natural laws govern the structure and evolut

Central venous catheter-related complications in hematologic patients : An observational study

BACKGROUND: The frequency of central venous catheter (CVC) related complications in hematological patients has previously been studied but some uncertainty remains. Therefore, this observational cohort study was designed primarily to investigate mechanical and infectious complications related to CVC insertion in hematological patients and secondarily, to identify factors associated with these comp

Arbetsterapeut och fysioterapeut på akutmottagningen. Bättre patientflöde, tryggare personal och tryggare hemgång. Beskrivning av ett nytt arbetssätt på Skånes universitetssjukhus och av personalens erfarenheter och upplevelser.

Syftet med föreliggande rapport var att beskriva arbetsterapeuts och fysioterapeuts arbete påakutmottagningen, att undersöka hur det nya arbetssättet upplevdes av läkare och sjuksköterskor,samt av tjänstgörande arbetsterapeut och fysioterapeut.Metod: Den på akutmottagningen tjänstgörande arbetsterapeuten och fysioterapeuten antecknadepatienternas ålder, kön och inkomstorsak, samt utförda åtgärder

A new way of working. Professionals' expectations and experiences of the Culture and Health project for clients with mental disorders

A new way of working with complementary interventions was developed and conducted in a county in Sweden. The intervention, Culture and Health, was directed to adult clients with mental disorders and offered cultural, nature-assisted and physical activities once a week during 14 weeks. Implementation of new interventions might be challenging and one barrier might be the professionals (Grol & Gr

Rehabträdgård. Röster från deltagare

Rehabträdgården i Sölvesborg har anlagts av Vuxenpsykiatri Väst Blekinge med inspiration och hjälp från Alnarp. Under 2017 startade trädgårdsgrupper för vuxna personer med stressrelaterade sjukdomar, ångest och depression. Grupperna träffades två halvdagar/vecka under 10-11 veckor, samma deltagare och gruppledare hela perioden. Deltagarna träffade också en psykolog enskilt varje vecka. Aktiviteter

Mentorship and creativity: Effects of mentor creativity and mentoring style

This paper examines mentorship as a mechanism for individuals to acquire and develop creativity. More specifically, we study the effect of mentor creativity on protégé creativity and how this effect is moderated by the mentoring styles of autonomy and exploration. Our empirical analysis focuses on formal PhD supervision and training, drawing on survey and bibliometric data for 143 life-science pro
