Aplasia of the right aortic cusp in a neonate : a life-threatening but curable anomaly

A case of absent right aortic cusp causing serious aortic incompetence in a neonate is reported. A "bicuspidalization" repair broke down within 24 hours, but reoperation with annular enlargement and insertion of a 19-mm prosthetic valve resulted in complete recovery. This rare but life-threatening anomaly of the aortic valve can be recognized with Doppler echocardiography. Valve replacement in con

CT and MR evaluation of pericardial and retrosternal adhesions after cardiac surgery

The visibility of the pericardium as well as of the space between the dorsal aspect of the sternal surface and the pericardial surface after cardiac surgery was determined by CT and/or MR with electrocardiographic (ECG)-gated spin-echo (SE) and gradient-echo sequences. Seventeen patients who had undergone cardiac operations and who were admitted for cardiac reoperation were investigated with CT an

Early results of mitral valve replacement

Early results of mitral valve replacement were reviewed in 336 unselected patients, 261 without and 75 with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (MVR and MVR + CABG groups). Early (less than 30 days) mortality was 7% in the MVR and 16% in the MVR + CABG group, with cardiac failure as the dominant cause. In multivariate analysis, the variables most strongly related to early mortality were co

Intrauterine growth of twins. A retrospective analysis

In a retrospective study of 150 twins born between 1970-1977, birth weight, length, and head circumference was plotted against gestational age. In comparison to singletons, all 3 parameters were low normal. While length and head circumference values follow the growth pattern of singletons, prenatal birth weight shows a progressive decline toward maturity. The intrauterine growth pattern of twins r

Moved by my body

Objectives: Young adults with autism have a different way to develop in body and movement. Do the experiences of body and movement consist with physiotherapeutic findings, in order to guide understanding and interventions?Method: The study involved eleven participants with autism, 16-22 years old, who told about their experiences. They were also examined concerning motor proficiency with Bruininks

First-hand experiences of body and movements in autism

Aims:To explore young adults´ own experiences about body and movements.Method: Eleven young adults (15-22 years) with autism were interviewed face-to-face, with picture support available.Results:The results are preliminary, pointing towards the importance of assessing movement quality in persons with autism.

Upplevelse av kropp och rörelse hos unga vuxna med autism

Bakgrund Studier om hur personer med autism upplever kropp och rörelse är få. Annorlunda kroppsliga funktioner och kroppsuppfattning kan påverka individen negativt. Interventioner som är baserade på kroppskännedom och anpassad rörelse skulle kunna stärka individens inre resurser.SyfteAtt få en djupare förståelse av upplevelserna av kropp och rörelse bland ungdomar/unga vuxna med autism, samt att u

Diagnostic pathway efficacy for urinary tract cancer : population-based outcome of standardized evaluation for macroscopic haematuria

Objective: This study assessed a national healthcare intervention launched in Sweden in 2015 to reduce the time between macroscopic haematuria, diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract cancer. Methods: The outcome of the first 11 months was evaluated in 1697 individuals referred to a standardized care pathway for urinary tract cancer compared with 174 patients with conventionally diagnosed urothel

Double Standards : The Role of Gender and Intraparty Politics in Swedish Cabinet Appointments

Are female politicians less likely to be promoted to specific ministerial posts, and is it important for them to toe the party line? This article focuses on whether the selection of ministers has a gender-specific dimension. Building on role congruity theory and research showing that female and male politicians are evaluated in a different manner in leadership positions, we present some original h

Tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes are related to human leukocyte antigen but not to islet autoantibodies : A Swedish nationwide prospective population-based cohort study

OBJECTIVES: This study explored the association between tissue transglutaminase autoantibody (tTGA), high-risk human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes and islet autoantibodies in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D).PATIENTS AND METHODS: Dried blood spots and serum samples were taken at diagnosis from children

Low plasma stem cell factor combined with high transforming growth factor-α identifies high-risk patients in pulmonary arterial hypertension

In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), severe vasoconstriction and remodelling of small pulmonary arteries result in high mortality. Receptor tyrosine kinases and their ligands, such as transforming growth factor (TGF)-α, modulate proliferation in PAH. Although the receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit has been shown to be overexpressed in PAH, the expression and role of its ligand stem cell factor (S
