Economic evaluation of mindfulness group therapy for patients with depression, anxiety, stress and adjustment disorders compared with treatment as usual

BACKGROUND: A randomised controlled trial found that a structured mindfulness group therapy (MGT) programme was as effective as treatment as usual (mostly cognitive-behavioural therapy) for patients with a diagnosis of depression, anxiety or stress and adjustment disorders in Sweden (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01476371).AimsTo perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of MGT compared with treatment as usu

Is the Church of Sweden an ‘Ordinary’ Civil Society Organization? : The advocacy activities of the Church in comparison to other civil society organizations in Sweden

This article explores the advocacy activities of the Church of Sweden. The historical co-optation of the Church by the state, a Lutheran theological heritage, and a trend from “voice to service” within Swedish civil society might discourage stronger political activism by the Church. The following research questions are answered: How does the extent of the advocacy activities of the Church of Swede

The mining sectors in Chile and Norway from approximately 1870 to 1940 : the development of a knowledge gap

Chile and Norway are two ‘natural resource-intensive economies’, which have had different development trajectories, yet are closely similar in industrial structure and geophysical conditions. This paper seeks to contribute to the debate about how and why some economies based on natural resource activities have been more dynamic and innovative than others by indicating contributing factors of key d

Socioeconomic factors and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation-a cohort study in Swedish primary care

Background: Preventing ischaemic stroke attracts significant focus in atrial fibrillation (AF) cases. Less is known on the association between socioeconomic factors and mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with AF. Methods: Our study population included adults (n=12 283) ≥45 years diagnosed with AF at 75 primary care centres in Sweden 2001-07. Cox regression was used to calculate haza

Defect-free SnTe topological crystalline insulator nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy on graphene

SnTe topological crystalline insulator nanowires have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on graphene/SiC substrates. The nanowires have a cubic rock-salt structure, they grow along the [001] crystallographic direction and have four sidewalls consisting of {100} crystal planes known to host metallic surface states with a Dirac dispersion. Thorough high resolution transmission electron microscopy

A comprehensive evaluation of the genetic architecture of sudden cardiac arrest

Aims: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) accounts for 10% of adult mortality in Western populations. We aim to identify potential loci associated with SCA and to identify risk factors causally associated with SCA. Methods and results: We carried out a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) for SCA (n = 3939 cases, 25 989 non-cases) to examine common variation genome-wide and in candidate arrhythmia g

DNA Methylation of LRRC3B : A Biomarker for Survival of Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Background: Previous studies support a tumor-suppressor role for LRRC3B across various types of cancers. We aimed to investigate the association between DNA methylation of LRRC3B and overall survival (OS) for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: This study included 1,230 patients with early-stage NSCLC. DNA was extracted from lung tumor tissues and DNA methylation

Abdominell rektusdiastas kan ge funktionella besvär - Indikation för behandling måste förtydligas

En kvarstående abdominell rektusmuskeldiastas hos kvinnor efter förlossning är vanlig och kan medföra försämrad bålmuskelfunktion och hos en del patienter avsevärt nedsatt livskvalitet.Den vetenskapliga evidensen för val av behandling av abdominell rektusmuskeldiastas är svag. Fysioterapi med bålstabiliserande träning bör vara förstahandsval.Hos en liten grupp med mer uttalade besvär där fysiotera

Ex vivo recordings reveal desert locust forelimb control is asymmetric

Lateralized behaviours are widespread among the animals, including insects with their miniature brains, perhaps being a way of maximising neural capacity (reviewed in [1,2]). However, evidence for functional asymmetries in the neural circuitry itself is scarce. Here, using bilateral simultaneous recordings from the ex vivo nervous system of desert locusts, we show that the neural control of their

Wind Turbine Noise and Sleep : Pilot Studies on the Influence of Noise Characteristics

The number of onshore wind turbines in Europe has greatly increased over recent years, a trend which can be expected to continue. However, the effects of wind turbine noise on long-term health outcomes for residents living near wind farms is largely unknown, although sleep disturbance may be a cause for particular concern. Presented here are two pilot studies with the aim of examining the acoustic

Thermoelectric Characterization of the Kondo Resonance in Nanowire Quantum Dots

We experimentally verify hitherto untested theoretical predictions about the thermoelectric properties of Kondo correlated quantum dots (QDs). The specific conditions required for this study are obtained by using QDs epitaxially grown in nanowires, combined with a recently developed method for controlling and measuring temperature differences at the nanoscale. This makes it possible to obtain data
