The necessity of exploring the transformation of anger in psychotherapy is highlighted in scientific literature. Such analysis could deepen our understanding of destructive and constructive possibilities of anger expression. The aim of this research was to reveal subjectively important changes of anger expression and therapeutic factors. Female clients, who had accomplished their long-term therapy
It is significant to understand the subjective side of psychotherapeutic process. Therefore, the aim of this research was to reveal subjectively important psychotherapeutic changes, significant therapeutic factors, and the transformation of anger expression in psychotherapy. Data were collected using the method of psychotherapeutic story. Participants were asked to tell their psychotherapy story,

The fracture mechanics properties of injection-moulded low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sheets were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The total work of fracture was determined experimentally, by means of fracture mechanics testing of sheets of injection-moulded LDPE with side cracks of different lengths. A multi-specimen method, proposed by Kim and Joe (1987), was employed. The tota
Experimentation is an important capability in the transition to a sustainable business. The aim of business experimentation is to learn and improve business model innovation activities with limited risks and resources through continuous and collective learning with stakeholders. Through action research we worked with eight case companies on a pathway to becoming a sustainable business. We focused
Business model experimentation for sustainability is an intentional and systematic approach to identify, test and learn about value creation strategies that could be adopted by a business in response to current unsustainable trajectories. For businesses such as large clothing retailers the need to alter course is acute as pressure builds from economic, environmental and social angles. The circular
Background: It has been demonstrated that weight loss improves symptoms in obese subjects with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). A parallel change in cartilage morphology remains to be demonstrated. Purpose: To demonstrate a parallel change in cartilage morphology. Material and Methods: Obese patients with KOA were examined before and after weight loss over 16 weeks. Target knee joints were radiographica
Background: Growing up with congenital heart disease (CHD) often means transfer to adult care and lifelong medical follow-up. An optimal transition process usually involves a multipart collaboration between the patient, their parents and other family members, and the healthcare providers. Taking an active role while knowing when it is time to step aside can be difficult for all the concerned parti
Objective. Oxygen (O2) have been a cornerstone in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Studies have been inconclusive regarding the cardiovascular and analgesic effects of oxygen in these patients. In the SOCCER trial, we compared the effects of oxygen treatment versus room air in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). There was no difference in myocardial salvage index
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hypercortisolism is common in stroke patients. The aim of this study was to investigate possible disturbances at different sites within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. We also studied possible associations between hypercortisolism and clinical manifestations of brain dysfunction.METHODS: Patients with an acute ischemic stroke (n = 16; mean +/- SD age, 71 +/- 11 yea
Degradation of membrane phospholipids (PLs) is a well known phenomenon in acute brain injuries and is thought to underlie the disturbance of vital cellular membrane functions. In the present study glycerol, an end product of PL degradation, was examined in brain interstitial fluid as a marker of PL breakdown following experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI) using microdialysis. TBI was induced i
A practical one-step high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of hypoxanthine, uric acid and allantoin in small (4 microL) microdialysis samples. The rationale for this work was the current interest in hypoxanthine as a marker for energy perturbation in hypoxia/ ischemia, in uric acid as an endogenous antioxidant, and in allantoin as a m
Melanoma represents a malignant disease with steadily increasing incidence. UV-irradiation is a recognized key factor in melanoma initiation. Therefore, the efficient prevention of UV tissue damage bears a critical potential for melanoma prevention. In this study, we tested the effect of UV irradiation of normal keratinocytes and their consequent interaction with normal and cancer-associated fibro
OBJECT: When evaluating the results of intracerebral microdialysis, the in vivo performance of the microdialysis probe must be considered, because this determines the fraction of the interstitial concentration obtained in the microdialysis samples. The in vivo performance is dependent on several factors, for example, the interstitial compartment's diffusion characteristics, which may vary during t
Background: Healthcare systems are complex networks where relationships affect outcomes. The importance of primary care increases while health care acknowledges multimorbidity, the impact of combinations of different diseases in one person. Active listing and consultations in primary care could be used as proxies of the relationships between patients and primary care. Our objective was to study ho
Objectives: To estimate the annual incidence rate of paediatric primary systemic vasculitis (PSV) in a defined geographical area in southern Sweden. Methods: Potential cases of PSV [IgA vasculitis (IgAV, Henoch–Schönlein purpura), Kawasaki disease (KD), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), polyarteritis nodosa
