Ethical issues arise in obstetric situations and demand the obstetrician’s moral consideration for those who are involved in the actual case (Paper I). A balance between the health of the foetus and the autonomy of the woman is necessary to do the best for both the mother and her foetus/infant. Preterm birth is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity for the child, in short and long term

Popular Abstract in Swedish Undersökning av bihåleventilation med 133-xenon washout teknik och gammakamera med tomografi, gör det möjligt att mäta ventilationen även i de djupa bihålorna som bakre ethmoidalsinus och sphenoidalsinus. Mätningar visar reproducerbara resultat hos friska försökspersoner där normala variationer i näsandningsmotstånd och kroppsläge ej påverkar mätresultaten. BihåleventilA noninvasive 133-xenon washout technique was used to evaluate the ventilation of the paranasal sinuses in healthy subjects and in patients with sinus disease. A mixture of air and 133-xenon is insufflated into the nasal cavities and passage into the sinuses is facilitated by a pressure increase created by letting the subjects inflate a balloon. A scintillation camera allowing single photon emissi

Vilket inflytande har det judiska och kristna arvets betoning av historien som gudomlig på det moderna politiska tänkandet? Jayne Svenungsson låter en utopikritisk historiesyn gå i dialog med en uppfattning so istället lyfter fram det profetiska löftets förmåga att inspirera till revolt mot förtryckande samhällsordningar. Denna komplexa historieskrivning skär in i de diskussioner om religion och e

A non-linear fracture mechanics model for adhesive joint strength analysis is presented. It is a unified theory that incorporates linear and non-linear stress analyses as well as linear elastic fracture mechanics as special cases. The bondline property is described by a complete stress-deformation response for combined bondline shear and tension, including gradual damage and strain softening to ze

This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of transcytosis as a bulk transfer mechanism for the passage of albumin from blood to tissue. Isolated rat lungs were continuously weighed and perfused with an albumin-serum buffer solution under strictly controlled hemodynamic conditions, which allowed measurements of microvascular pressure and of the capillary filtration coefficient (LpS). With the

Den yttersta länken bakom all form av samhällsutveckling är den enskilda människan, som mot bakgrund av sina värderingar och attityder fattar beslut om att handla på ett visst sätt och inte ett annat. I detta avsnitt kommer fokus för analysen av drivkrafter bakom konsumtion som leder till ökad energianvändning vara relationen mellan samhälleliga förutsättningar ovh individers attityder, beteende o

Functionalized polymer nanoparticles are used as binders for inorganic materials in everyday technologies such as paper and coatings. However, the functionalization can give rise to two opposing effects: It can promote adhesion via specific interactions to the substrate, but a high degree of functionalization can also hamper spreading on substrates. Here, we studied the spreading kinetics of indiv

Injury to the peripheral nerves in the upper extremity results in changes in the nerve, and at multiple sites throughout the central nervous system (CNS). We studied the long-term effects of an injury to the median nerve in the forearm with a focus on changes in the CNS. Four patients with isolated injuries of the median nerve in their 20s were examined a mean of 14 years after the injury. Cortica

Objective. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive technique that has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of angina pectoris. Little is known how EECP affects the blood pressure. Methods. 153 patients with refractory angina were treated with either EECP or retained on their pharmacological treatment (reference group). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood p

Purpose: To investigate rates of visual field progression and factors associated with progression rate in open-angle glaucoma in clinical glaucoma care. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients with manifest primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) followed ≥ 5 years with ≥5 SITA Standard fields. Exclusion criteria were minimal. Demographic
