A family-centred, developmentally supportive approach to newborn intensive care referred to as NIDCAP (Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Programme) has caught considerable interest during recent years. In this paper we review the scientific context behind its conceptual framework and summarize our experience from 10 years of training, implementation and research. We present

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a clinically and neuropathologically heterogeneous group of primary degenerative dementia diseases. The clinical representation consists of progressive psychiatric and/or neurological symtoms such as behavioural changes, language or motor dysfunction. FTD is usually divided into the following subgroups: Behavioural varian

This study examined tumour vessel injury resulting from laser-induced hyperthermia alone and in combination with photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of rat liver tumours by means of scanning electron microscopy. A total of 18 Wistar rats were divided into three groups, Group I (six animals) underwent hyperthermia for 15 min (15-min hyperthermia). Group II (six animals) underwent hypertherm

We discuss different aspects of unconditional two-locus nonparametric linkage (NPL) analysis with special emphasis on gene-gene interaction. We interpret this as identical-by-descent (IBD) sharing correlation between two disease loci both having marginal effect. We relate this to the concept of two-locus NPL score functions, the possible importance of using a composite rather than a simple null hy

Modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease include overweight, which is prevented by healthy diet and physical activity. Recently settled migrants may have varying levels of exposure to health information. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to explore the associations between self-reported information on healthy diet and on physical activity and overweight and the possible modifi

The objective of this study is to assess the heavy metals pollution and microbial contamination in water, sediments and fish of Lake Manzala and study the direct and indirect effect for disposal of waste water, industrial and agricultural drainage water into the lake on the environmental situation. Samples were collected from four different sites in the lake and one site in the drain. The selected

I detta nummer ges en rad exempel där det påvisas att föreställningar, normer och värderingar spelar en avgörande roll i medicinsk praktik. Allt ifrån barnhälsovårdens fyraårskontroller till habiliteringsprocesser för handikappade. I en framåtblickande artikel analyseras problematiken om friskt och sjukt utifrån kartläggning av genetiska markörer. Om den genetiska kartläggningen utsäger att någo
