Coronary Angiography and Intervention in Women Resuscitated From Sudden Cardiac Death

Background Coronary artery disease is the primary etiology for sudden cardiac arrest in adults, but potential differences in the incidence and utility of invasive coronary testing between resuscitated men and women have not been extensively evaluated. Our aim was to characterize angiographic similarities and differences between men and women after cardiac arrest. Methods and Results Data from the

Improved Outcomes After Regional Implementation of Sepsis Alert : A Novel Triage Model

OBJECTIVES: To assess whether the triage model Sepsis Alert for Emergency Departments results in improved initial care of patients with severe infections. DESIGN: Interventional study comparing patient care before and after the start of a new triage model, including 90-day follow-up. SETTING: Eight emergency departments in Skåne County, Sweden. SUBJECTS: Patients with suspected severe infection. I

Risk of local recurrence of rectal cancer and circumferential resection margin : population-based cohort study

Background: A circumferential resection margin (CRM) of 1·0 mm or less after rectal cancer surgery is thought to increase the risk of local recurrence (LR). This retrospective population-based study examined how CRM distance affects the LR risk. Methods: Data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry were used in a retrospective analysis of rectal cancers resected between 2005 and 2013. The prim

Anti-smuggling and Anti-trafficking Measures: Are they compatible with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights?

Combatting human smuggling and human trafficking has been one of the priority objectives of the EU and its Member States in their efforts to decrease the number of migrants arriving in EU territory. The development of strong cooperation with third-countries has been considered indispensable to the effectiveness of what is often described in EU documents as the ‘fight’ against human trafficking and

Whole-Exome Sequencing in 22 Young Ischemic Stroke Patients With Familial Clustering of Stroke

Backgrounds and Purpose- Although new methods for genetic analyses are rapidly evolving, there are currently knowledge gaps in how to detect Mendelian forms of stroke. Methods- We performed whole-exome sequencing in 22 probands, under 56 years at their first ischemic stroke episode, from multi-incident stroke families. With the use of a comprehensive stroke-gene panel, we searched for variants in

Bidrag för jobb : Arbetsgivares perspektiv på anställningsstöd

Statligt stöd till arbetsgivare för att anställa arbetssökande har genom tiderna haft olika namn. När denna undersökning gjordes kallades de bland annat nystartsjobb, instegsjobb och lönebidrag. Bidragen har ständigt diskuterats och reformerats. Kvantitativa effektundersökningar om hur flest sökande kommer i arbete är vanliga. Denna bok har en annan ingång. Här återges material från

Plasma P-tau181 in Alzheimer’s disease : relationship to other biomarkers, differential diagnosis, neuropathology and longitudinal progression to Alzheimer’s dementia

Plasma phosphorylated tau181 (P-tau181) might be increased in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but its usefulness for differential diagnosis and prognosis is unclear. We studied plasma P-tau181 in three cohorts, with a total of 589 individuals, including cognitively unimpaired participants and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), AD dementia and non-AD neurodegenerative diseases. Plasma P-tau18

Negation in San Juan Quiahije Chatino Sign Language : The Integration and Adaptation of Conventional Gestures

Sign languages do not arise from thin air: rather, they emerge in communities where conventions are already in place for using gesture. Little research has considered how these conventions are retained and/or adapted as gestures are integrated into emerging sign language lexicons. Here we describe a set of five gestures that are used to convey negative meanings by both speakers and signers in a si

‘War of Theology’: The Theological Aspect of the Split between Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq in 2013.

On the morning of the 8th of April 2013, the world woke up to Abu Bakr Al- Baghdadi, the leader of what was called the Islamic State in Iraq or ISI, announcing the expansion of his group from Iraq into Syria. Al-Baghdadi also announced the merger of ISI and Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) into a new group called the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham or ISIS. Only one day after the announcement, JN released a

Where is search in Information Literacy : A Theoretical Note on Infrastructure and Community of Practice

In this conceptual paper theory of infrastructure is combined with one of situated learning, with a focus on search and search engines. The aim of the paper is to make a theoretical contribution to the information literacy research field by discussing theoretical contradictions as well as strengths when combining the two theoretical perspectives. Search engines and their use are part of the contem

Signed Names in Japanese Sign Language : Linguistic and Cultural Analyses

This article describes the types of signed names given and used by deaf users of Japanese Sign Language. Drawing from a dataset of 216 signed names, we identify and describe nine strategies for signed name formation. Notably, seven of these represent written Japanese surnames. We explain how language contact with written Japanese characters (kanji) and syllabograms (kana) gives rise to a distincti

Autonomic ganglionic injection of α-synuclein fibrils as a model of pure autonomic failure α-synucleinopathy

α-Synucleinopathies are characterized by autonomic dysfunction and motor impairments. In the pure autonomic failure (PAF), α-synuclein (α-Syn) pathology is confined within the autonomic nervous system with no motor features, but mouse models recapitulating PAF without motor dysfunction are lacking. Here, we show that in TgM83+/− mice, inoculation of α-Syn preformed fibrils (PFFs) into the stellate

Educating for democracy? : The role of media and information literacy education for pupils in Swedish compulsory school

This paper reports a study of pupils’ experiences of media and information literacy education in five Swedish schools by answering the following overarching question, what roles do the teaching of information seeking and critical assessment of information play for pupils in their school-work as well as in their everyday life? Pupils in ninth grade were asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding th

Behandling av erektil dysfunktion – från piller till implantat - Region Skåne har kapat kön till implantatkirurgi utan att urologisk cancerkirurgi påverkats

The article gives an overview of erectile mechanisms and erectile dysfunction (ED). Current treatment of ED is presented. Most of the patients with ED should be treated by their primary care physician. Urologists should be involved only when treatment has failed, and when erectile implants might be an option. In Skåne the waiting list for these patients has been eliminated by using the operating c

Social learning towards a more adaptive paradigm? Reducing flood risk in Kristianstad municipality, Sweden

Social learning is often treated as an intervention, a designed process facilitated or even initiated by a third party. We investigated how a social learning process emerged spontaneously from inside Kristianstad, one of the most flood-prone municipalities in Sweden. Twenty key persons were interviewed over 8 years, many of them several times, to assess the process. A small action oriented group o
