Preliminary evaluation of an intensive integrated individual and family therapy model for self-harming adolescents

BACKGROUND: To investigate the outcome of an integrated individual and family therapy (Intensive Contextual Treatment: ICT) in terms of reducing suffering and increasing functional adjustment among self-harming and/or suicidal adolescents with high symptom loads and their families. METHODS: Forty-nine self-harming and/or suicidal adolescents, Mage = 14.6, of predominantly Swedish origin and female

Analysis of LIF and Mie signals from single micrometric droplets for instantaneous droplet sizing in sprays

Planar droplet sizing (PDS) is a technique relying on the assumption that laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and Mie scattering optical signals from spherical droplets depend on their volume and surface area, respectively. In this article, we verify the validity of this assumption by experimentally analyzing the light intensity of the LIF and Mie optical signals from micrometric droplets as a functi

A PdII Carbene Complex with Anthracene Side-Arms for π-Stacking on Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) : Activity towards Undirected C–H Oxygenation of Arenes

An N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(II) complex containing two anthracene side arms was immobilized on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by π-stacking. The activity of the homogeneous analogue and the supported complex in undirected C–H acetoxylation reaction of arenes was studied. The results show that the catalytic efficiency in acetoxylation of benzene is improved in the immobilized m

Impact of heart failure and other comorbidities on mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : A register-based, prospective cohort study

Background: Multimorbidity has already become common in primary care and will be a challenge in the future. Primary care in Sweden participates to a great extent in the care of patients with two severe, chronic conditions: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure. Both conditions are characterized by high mortality and often coexist. Age, sex, heart failure and other comorbid

Tillit - en ledningsfilosofi för framtidens offentliga sektor

Många medarbetare och chefer i offentlig sektor vittnar om hur detaljstyrning, överdriven formbundenhet och felriktad mätning hindrar dem från att göra ett gott arbete. De upplever att verksamheten styrs och leds med fjärrkontroll och med bristande lyhördhet för behoven längst ut i styrkedjan. Forskningen pekar i samma riktning. Det här leder inte bara till minskad motivation och arbetsglädje, uta

Relative survival following hemi-and total hip arthroplasty for hip fractures in Sweden

BACKGROUND: Hip fractures are a common problem in the ageing population. Hip arthroplasty is the common treatment option for displaced intracapsular neck of femur fractures. Even though hip replacements are successful in restoring mobility, reducing pain and diminishing loss of health-related quality of life, the potential impact of a hip fracture on life expectancy as well as the postoperative mo

En tid utan sammanhang

Ett antal rapporter under senare år har uppmärksammat oss på hur farlig ensamhet är för hälsan. Enligt vissa studier är den till och med farligare än rökning. Särskilt utsatta är äldre. Larmrapporterna har lett till flera debattinlägg, där man menar att politikerna måste ta ett större ansvar. Vissa pekar på Storbritannien, där man har inrättat en särskild ensamhetsminister. Men är ensamheten verkl

Agriculture and animal production have a great environmental impact, which is steadily growing. In a previous article, we highlighted how biodiversity is vital for agricultural production, emphasizing the role of animal pollinators. Here, we discuss the different dimensions of food security and the key role of our food choices in the cities to drive land use in rural areas and minimize the environ

Efter Tegnér : Experiment med tradition

Esaias Tegnérs (1782–1846) författarskap bildade länge centrum i den svenska kanon, och ansågs enligt utländska bedömare utgöra Sveriges främsta bidrag till världslitteraturen. På så vis har det haft stor betydelse för såväl den inhemska som utländska föreställningen om svensk kultur. Funktionen som enande nationalsymbol har Tegnér sedan länge förlorat, även om många fortfarande håller honom högt

Clinical predictors of long-term survival in newly diagnosed transplant eligible multiple myeloma - an IMWG Research Project

PURPOSE: multiple myeloma is considered an incurable hematologic cancer but a subset of patients can achieve long-term remissions and survival. The present study examines the clinical features of long-term survival as it correlates to depth of disease response. PATIENTS & METHODS: this was a multi-institutional, international, retrospective analysis of high-dose melphalan-autologous stem cell

Effects of oxytocin and anaesthesia on vascular tone in pregnant women : a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study using non-invasive pulse wave analysis

BACKGROUND: Oxytocin is an uterotonic drug with profound cardiovascular effects, which in compromised patients could lead to serious events. The objective was to investigate whether oxytocin affects cardiac function and vascular tone in large and small arteries. We hypothesized that oxytocin decreases arterial vascular tone and elevates cardiac output. METHODS: 51 pregnant women were randomised to

Differential distribution of IgA-protease genotypes in mucosal and invasive isolates of Haemophilus influenzae in Sweden

BACKGROUND: Several different IgA-proteases exist in Haemophilus influenzae. The variants have been suggested to play differential roles in pathogenesis, but there is limited information on their distribution in clinical isolates. The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of IgA-protease genotypes in H. influenzae and assess the association between IgA-protease genotype and t

Detailed Fluctuation Relation for Arbitrary Measurement and Feedback Schemes

Fluctuation relations are powerful equalities that hold far from equilibrium. However, the standard approach to include measurement and feedback schemes may become inapplicable in certain situations, including continuous measurements, precise measurements of continuous variables, and feedback induced irreversibility. Here we overcome these shortcomings by providing a recipe for producing detailed
