Patient satisfaction after expenditure cutback and intervention to improve nursing care at a surgical clinic. At two-year follow-up.
Between 1991 and 1994 the number of beds in the surgical clinic at a central hospital in Southern Sweden was cut back by almost 50%. To develop the nursing care and to control the effects of the budgetary cuts, an intervention, including nursing care development, of an organization that would secure continuity in the nurse-patient relationship, individually planned care and quality assurance for a
Should tumor depth be included in prognostication of soft tissue sarcoma?
BACKGROUND: Most staging systems for soft tissue sarcoma are based on histologic malignancy-grade, tumor size and tumor depth. These factors are generally dichotomized, size at 5 cm. We believe it is unlikely that tumor depth per se should influence a tumor's metastatic capability. Therefore we hypothesized that the unfavourable prognostic importance of depth could be explained by the close associ

Non-invasive evaluation of lower airway inflammation in hyper-responsive elite cross-country skiers and asthmatics
Asthma-like symptoms and bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) to methacholine are prevalent in competitive cross-country skiers. Whether these symptoms (ski asthma) in these athletes are caused by asthma remains uncertain. Bronchial responsiveness to adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) and nitric oxide (NO) concentration in exhaled air, both indirect markers of asthmatic airway inflammation, were inv

Germinal Centers Regulate Human Th2 Development1
In the present study we demonstrate that all CD4+ T cells in human tonsil expressing the Th2-selective receptor chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2) also 1) express high levels of CXCR5, and 2) display a transitional CD45RA/RO phenotype and consistently do not produce significant amounts of cytokines when immediately analyzed ex vivo. Hence, they represent pr
Ett samband att beakta : psalm, psalmbok, samhälle
Popular Abstract in Swedish Psalmer som gav ?adekvata uttryck? åt motiven mission, evangelisation, diakoni, ekumenik, arbetsliv och ?ungdomens nya situation? efterlystes när arbetet med en ny psalmbok för Svenska kyrkan inleddes i slutet av 1960-talet. I avhandlingen visas att synen på de olika motiven påverkats av samhällets förändringar, särskilt under efterkrigstiden. Hur detta i sin tur återspThe dissertation treats the relation between hymn, hymn-book and society by studying six motifs in The Swedish Hymnal (Den svenska psalmboken): mission, evangelization, diaconia, ecumenics, working life and "the new situation of youth". In the latest revision of The Swedish Hymnal, 1969-1986, hymns that gave adequate expression to these motifs were especially sought for. The dissertation demonstra
Rapid ATP-dependent priming of secretory granules precedes Ca(2+)-induced exocytosis in mouse pancreatic B-cells
1. The glucose and ATP dependence of exocytosis were investigated in single mouse pancreatic B-cells by monitoring changes in cell capacitance evoked by voltage-clamp depolarizations, infusion of high [Ca2+]i buffers or photorelease of caged Ca2+ or ATP. 2. In intact B-cells, using the perforated patch whole-cell technique, glucose (5 mM) increased exocytotic responses evoked by membrane depolariz
Blood group specific oligosaccharides from faeces of a blood group A breast-fed infant
Four different oligosaccharides were isolated from faeces collected from a blood group A, secretor, breast-fed infant. Three of these, GalNAc alpha 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-2]Gal beta 1-4Glc (A-tetrasaccharide), GalNAc alpha 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-2]Gal beta 1-4[Fuc alpha 1-3]Glc (A-pentasaccharide) and 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-4]GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc (A-heptasaccharide) have previously found in urine, whereas Ga

Neutrophils and platelets accumulate in the heart, lungs, and kidneys after cardiopulmonary bypass in neonatal pigs
OBJECTIVE: Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass elicits a systemic inflammatory response. An exaggerated response is associated with organ dysfunction and increased morbidity and mortality. DESIGN: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the cardiopulmonary bypass procedure in itself results in accumulation of isotope-labeled platelets, polymorphonuclear neutrophils, and fib
A homozygous nonsense mutation (428G -> A) in the human secretor (FUT2) gene provides resistance to symptomatic norovirus (GGII) infections
Noroviruses (formerly Norwalk-like viruses) are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide and are associated with a significant number of nosocomial and food-borne outbreaks. In this study we show that the human secretor FUT2 gene, which codes for an alpha(1,2)-fucosyltransferase synthesizing the H-type 1 antigen in saliva and mucosa, is associated with susceptibility to norovirus infection
Regional research exploitation of the LHC: A case-study of the required computing resources
A simulation study to evaluate the required computing resources for a research exploitation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been performed. The evaluation,vas done as a case study. assuming existence of a Nordic regional centre and using the requirements for per-forming a specific physics analysis as a yard-stick. Other input parameters were: assumption for the distribution of researchers a
Mechanisms for activation of the rat adipocyte particulate cyclic-GMP-inhibited cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and its importance in the antilipolytic action of insulin
Lack of affect defenses, affekt isolation of an inclusive kind or affect inhibition were uncommon in the Defense Mechanism Technique modified (DMTm) when psychodynamic therapy was recommended by the clinical staff.
A group of 200 psychiatric patients, 129 women and 71 men, were given recommendations by a four-person staff of their receiving psychodynamic therapy (PDT; 47 women, 17 men), cognitive psychotherapy (CPT; 19 women, 5 men) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT; 34 women, 20 men), or of their having no psychotherapy (NPT; 29 women, 29 men). The staff knew the ICD-10 diagnoses but made its judgments p
State Diagram Generation using Reference Attibuted Grammars
This paper describes how attribute grammars can be used to generate state diagrams from a program written in a simple transition language and then drawn using a graph drawing tool. We use an extended form of attribute grammars, RAGs, which permits attributes to be references to nodes in the syntax tree. The directed graph defined by the program is constructed in the AST by linking together nodes v

Pattern recognition of pelvic masses by gray-scale ultrasound imaging: the contribution of Doppler ultrasound
OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which Doppler ultrasound examination contributes to a correct specific diagnosis of a pelvic mass when the preliminary diagnosis is based on subjective evaluation of the gray-scale ultrasound image (pattern recognition). METHODS: In 173 consecutive cases, women scheduled for surgery because of a pelvic mass judged clinically to be of adnexal origin underwent p
