Att delta i en anhörigförening kan betraktas som ett sätt att bryta mot sjukvårdens individualiserande och problematiserande syn på anhöriga och normalisera en alternativ anhörigidentitet. Gemenskapen inom föreningen spelar då en avgörande roll; den ”besvarar” och motarbetar individualiseringen samt upprätthåller en växling mellan glädje och bekymmer som motarbetar problematiseringen.

New dual antiplatelet therapies (DAPTs) have been introduced in clinical practice for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This nationwide study investigated DAPT patterns over time and patient characteristics associated with the various treatments in a population with ACS.

While the common lymphoid progenitor compartment was originally thought to be a rather homogenous cell population, it has become increasingly clear that this compartment is highly heterogeneous both with regard to phenotypic and functional features. The exploration of this cellular complexity has generated novel molecular insights into regulatory events in lymphoid lineage restriction and provided

Aims: To illuminate patients' experiences of being cared for and nurses' experiences of caring for patients in a multiple-bed hospital room. Background: Many patients and healthcare personnel seem to prefer single-bed hospital rooms. However, certain advantages of multiple-bed hospital rooms (MBRs) have also been described. Method: Eight men and eight women being cared for in a multiple-bedroom

Research study was conducted from January to May, 2002 in residential areas along the Palosi Drain, Peshawar. Main objective of the study was to evaluate water quality of shallow and deep wells in the vicinity of Palosi Drain. For this purpose, 20 water samples were taken 13 from shallow wells, 3 from deep wells and 4 from wastewater in the Palosi Drain. Water samples were analyzed for heavy metal

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, identification of new biomarkers for early diagnosis and detection will improve the clinical outcome of breast cancer patients. In the present study, we determined serum levels of vitronectin (VN) in 93 breast cancer patients, 30 benign breast lesions, 9 precancerous lesions, and 30 healthy individuals by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Clinical studies have shown that moderately intense physical activity effectively treats various types of depression. Beneficial effects have been reported in the acute phase of the disease as well as in a long-term perspective. In addition, epidemiological studies have shown that inactivity increases the risk of depression and that exercise prevents relapse. Depressed patients are often prescribe

As shown by transgenic mouse models and by using phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitors, PDE3B has an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. However, very little is known about the regulation of the enzyme. Here, we show that PDE3B is activated in response to high glucose, insulin and cAMP elevation in rat pancreatic islets and INS-1 (832/13) cells. Activation

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the early and intermediate outcome of a consecutive series of emergency endovascular aneurysm repairs (eEVAR) of computed tomography (CT)-verified infrarenal ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) at a single tertiary referral centre. METHODS: Prospectively collected data of patients operated between April 2000 and October 2007 were retrospectively reviewed and all their

Popular Abstract in Swedish Olika modeller för inlärning och förändring av språkliga (morfologiska) drag simuleras med hjälp av dator. Olika faktorers inverkan studeras: t.ex. inlärningshastighet, geografisk spridning, populationstäthet, epidemier. En konnektionistisk modell för individens inlärning undersöks på uppgiften att lära sig svenskans brutna verb paradigm (samexisterande svaga och starkaThe main question that this book tries to find answers to is what it is that makes language learnable. Language is one of the most complex human activities, but nearly 100% of humanity have learned a language in childhood. One answer could be that it is something in our brain that makes us learn language better than most other activities. Another answer could be that it is something in language as

BACKGROUND: Anaemia is a common complication of chemotherapy. As anaemia can lead to e.g. fatigue, depression, social isolation and chest pain it diminishes physical capacity and quality of life. It is generally accepted that symptomatic anaemia should be corrected. Treatment options include red blood cell transfusion (RBCT), erythropoietin (EPO) administration or a combination of both. OBJECTIVE:

Aims and objectives. To describe stroke patients' perceptions of their participation in the discharge planning process and identify correlates of perceived participation. Background. Patients have the right to participate in discharge planning, but earlier research has shown that they are often dissatisfied with the information they receive and their involvement in goal-setting during discharge pl

The GW approximation for the self-energy connected with the one-electron Green's function has been very successful in predicting band structures for a large class of semiconductors and insulators. The physical basis for this approximation and general features of its nonlocality are discussed, as well as possible improvements. Besides quasiparticle energies the self-energy also gives the intrinsic
