This paper focusses on two Swedish travellers, Edvard Carleson (1704-1768) and Fredric Hasselquist (1722-1752). Carleson journeyed to the Mediterranean and served as a diplomat at the Swedish Embassy in Istanbul. In 1733 he travelled to Cyprus, along with the diplomat Fredrik von Höpken, and he wrote a description of the island and its economy, as well of its human resources. This description was

Distribution of chylomicron choletseryl ester between parenchymal and Kupffer cells of rat liver

Kupffer cells and parenchymal cells of rat liver were isolated shortly after a single intravenous injection, or a constant infusion, of either thoracic duct lymph or isolated chylomicrons. The uptake of labeled free and esterified chylomicron cholesterol by the two cell types was compared to that of colloidal chromic [32P] phosphate. On the average, only about 6% of the cholesteryl ester of the ch

Fate of intravenously administerd particulate and lipoprotein choletserol in the rat

Unesterified radioactive cholesterol, both bound to serum lipoproteins and dispersed in ethanol-saline, was injected into bile fistula and intact rats. Due to phagocytosis, mainly by the liver macrophages, intravenously injected cholesterol in ethanol-saline disappears from the bloodstream significantly faster than lipoprotein-bound cholesterol. Soon after the initial phagocytosis, the particulate

The perceived threat of the risk for graft rejection and health related quality of life among organ transplant recipient's.

Aims. This study was primarily aimed for developing and testing a valid and reliable instrument that measures perceived threat of the risk for graft rejection after organ transplantation. A second aim was to report descriptive data regarding graft rejection and Health‐Related Quality of Life.Background. The most serious risk connected with transplantations besides infection is graft rejection.Desi

Obtaining foundation for nursing care at the time of patient admission: a grounded theory study.

The nursing process can be viewed as a problem-solving model, but we do not know whether use of the whole process including care plans with interventions based on nursing diagnoses improves nurses' ability to carry out assessments. Therefore, the aim of this study was to illuminate and describe the assessment and decision-making process performed by nurses who formulated individual care plans incl

Perceptions of experiences of graft rejection among organ transplant recipients- striving to control the un controllable.

AIM:To investigate perceptions of graft rejection and different methods to obtain knowledge about graft rejection among adult organ transplant recipients.BACKGROUND:Rejection is the most common cause of graft loss and graft dysfunction in clinical transplantation. Little is known about the recipients' own explanation models related to graft rejection.DESIGN:Phenomenography.METHOD:A strategic selec

Family presence and environmental factors at time of patient's death in an ICU.

Background: In an intensive care unit (ICU), privacy and proximity are reported to be important needs of dying patients and their family members. It is assumed that good communication between the ICU team and families about end‐of‐life decisions improves the possibilities of meeting families’ needs, thus guaranteeing a dignified and peaceful death in accordance with end‐of‐life care guidelines. Th

End-of-life care in Intensive Care Units-family routines and environmental factors.

The purpose of this study was to describe family care routines and to explore environmental factors when patients die in Swedish intensive care units (ICUs). The main research questions were: what are the physical environmental circumstances and facilities when caring for patients in end‐of‐life and are there any routines or guidelines when caring for dying patients and their families?
