Lungultraljud – en uppseglande metod vid dyspné och hjärtsvikt

Lungultraljud har visat god precision och reproducerbarhet som diagnostiskt komplement till klinisk undersökning vid akut dyspné. Lungultraljud utförs bedside och är relativt lätt att lära sig, men kräver träning och strukturerat utförande för att inte resultera i felaktiga diagnoser.Lungultraljud baseras till största delen på tolkning av artefakter. Vid en normalt luftfylld lunga bildas horisonteUltrasound plays an important role in several medical fields. The heart was the first organ for which ultrasound gained clinical utility, followed by obstetric and gynecological applications. Shortly thereafter, abdominal organs and blood vessels became targets for ultrasound examination. The lung was long considered inaccessible for ultrasound due to its high air content. Work since the 1990s has

Portföljen synliggör lärandet och kompetensutvecklingen

Centralt för en fungerande portfölj:Systematisk uppföljning av studenters lärande och progression sker genom sammanställning av aktiviteter, upprepade bedömningar och återkoppling.Den ger stöd för studenternas självstyrda lärande.Den har ett tydligt syfte och är anpassad till utbildningens mål. Det framgår tydligt vad studenter och lärare förväntas göra.Portfolio used in education can be defined as a collection of documentation of performed learning activities, feedback, and progress. Currently, the documentation is electronic, hence the term e-portfolio is used. The portfolio must have a clear purpose and be aligned with the learning outcomes of the program. To be successfully implemented a portfolio must be an integral part of the education wit

The fine-grained complexity of computing the tutte polynomial of a linear matroid

We show that computing the Tutte polynomial of a linear matroid of dimension k on kO(1) points over a field of kO(1) elements requires kΩ(k) time unless the #ETH-a counting extension of the Exponential Time Hypothesis of Impagliazzo and Paturi [CCC 1999] due to Dell et al. [ACM TALG 2014]-is false. This holds also for linear matroids that admit a representation where every point is associated to a

This paper addresses the main progresses and achievements of the H2020 STRATOFLY Project, funded by the European Commission, under the Horizon 2020 framework, specifically looking at the latest results in terms of environmental sustainability. In particular, starting from reporting the main environmental challenges posed by high-speed civil transportation, at local, regional and global levels, thi

Genetics of Diabetes Subtypes. Characterization of novel cluster-based diabetes subtypes.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been reproducibly clustered into five subtypes based on six-clinical variables; age at diabetes onset, body mass index (BMI), Glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (GADA), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and insulin secretion and resistance estimated as HOMA2B and HOMA2IR derived from fasting glucose and Cpeptide. These subtypes have different disease progr

Screening immigrant mothers for postpartum depression. Development and feasibility of an educational Intervention for nurses in the child health services.

Post partum depression är ett omfattande folkhälsoproblem som utlandsfödda mödrar löper ökad risk att drabbas av. Rutinmässig screening av alla nyblivna mödrar för post partum depression har implementerats i många länder för att öka identifikationen, men tidigare forskning indikerar att hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal upplever screening av utlandsfödda mödrar som en svår arbetsuppgift. Det övergripanPostpartum depression is a major public health problem, which immigrant mothers are at particular risk of being affected by. Routine screening is implemented by many countries to increase identification, but research suggests that health care professionals experience screening of immigrant mothers as challenging. The overall aim of this thesis was therefore to develop an evidence-based educational

The importance of Cyclophilins and Mps1 in cancer

Hepatic fibrosis is a pathological response to chronic liver injuries such as chronic alcohol consumption, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or chronic viral infections. No antifibrotic compound has been approved for liver fibrosis and if the cause of the chronic injury is not solved, fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis. Currently the only treatment for liver cirrhosis is liver transplantat

A new begonia species from arunachal pradesh, and some notes on begonia scintillans

A new species, Begonia pasighatensis D.Borah, Taram & Wahlsteen (Begoniaceae) is described and illustrated. It is easily distinguished from all other species in the section Platycentrum by its swollen, spherical ovary with two wings reduced to ridges and a long, pointing upper wing. The new species belongs to Begonia section Platycentrum and is distributed in southern Arunachal Pradesh in East

Developmental neurobiology of cerebellar and Basal Ganglia connections

BACKGROUND: The high prevalence of mixed phenotypes of Early Onset Ataxia (EOA) with comorbid dystonia has shifted the pathogenetic concept from the cerebellum towards the interconnected cerebellar motor network. This paper on EOA with comorbid dystonia (EOA-dystonia) explores the conceptual relationship between the motor phenotype and the cortico-basal-ganglia-ponto-cerebellar network.METHODS: In

Development and Validation of Decision Rules Models to Stratify Coronary Artery Disease, Diabetes, and Hypertension Risk in Preventive Care : Cohort Study of Returning UK Biobank Participants

Many predictive models exist that predict risk of common cardiometabolic conditions. However, a vast majority of these models do not include genetic risk scores and do not distinguish between clinical risk requiring medical or pharmacological interventions and pre-clinical risk, where lifestyle interventions could be first-choice therapy. In this study, we developed, validated, and compared the pe

Analysing the differences in the scientific diffusion and policy impact of analogous theoretical approaches : Evidence for territorial innovation models

The aim of this paper is to reflect on the conceptualization of three, a priori, similar territorial innovation models: the triple helix, the regional innovation systems and Sábato’s triangle. To compare their underlying theoretical foundations, we conduct a bibliometric analysis of the contributions based on the previous territorial innovation models. Following Reinert’s procedure we identify the

Understanding election violence in the Philippines : Beware the unknown assassins of may

Despite election violence being a commonly agreed upon phenomena in the Philippines, there has been a dearth in academic research on the topic in recent years, largely due to a lack of reliable information. To address this, our article adapts recognized methods from studies such as Lindsay Shorr Newman’s 2013 paper, together with Stephen McGrath and Paul Gill’s 2014 research on terrorism and elect

Big accents in stockholm swedish : nuclear accents, prenuclear accents, and initiality accents

Stockholm Swedish has a distinction between so-called big accents and small accents (in addition to a lexical contrast between tone accent 1 and tone accent 2). The function and distribution of the big versus small accent has never been fully understood. West Germanic languages lack a corresponding distinction. While it is known that big accents appear on information-structural focus, this fact ca

Compliance to a Gluten-Free Diet in Swedish Children with Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease

Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk of celiac disease (CD). The replacement of insulin in T1D, and the exclusion of gluten in CD, are lifelong, burdensome treatments. Compliance to a gluten-free diet (GFD) in children with CD is reported to be high, while compliance in children with both diseases has scarcely been studied. To examine compliance to a GFD in children with both

Symptom Dimension Breakpoints for the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV)

Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) clusters around three major symptom dimensions: contamination/cleaning, symmetry/ordering, and disturbing thoughts/checking. The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV) is a self-report questionnaire that provides scores along six theory-based OCD dimensions, but no study has evaluated how well OCI-CV identifies clinically significant sym

Role of the brain derived neurotrophic factor and inflammatory mediators in colon cancer

CRC is one of the most common causes of cancer death in the world. If CRC is diagnosed in the early stages, the patient's chance of survival is estimated at about 90%, with a very low probability of recurrence. The five-year DFS for CRC patients in stage III and IV drops to 63.3% and 18.9%, respectively. The current thesis aimed to identify potential new prognostic and predicting biomarkers for th
