Curiosity and Serendipity in Qualitative Research

This presentation argues that we seldom speak of our findings in qualitative research as serendipitous, although we have splendid possibilities to make surprising findings. In order to enhance the chances and sharpen our analyses we have to read broadly but also pay attention to details in our data. We should avoid societal or scholarly conventionality, even be disobedient to recommendations, if t

Back pain and health status in patients with clinically diagnosed ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and other spondyloarthritis: a cross-sectional population-based study.

In the broader spectrum of back pain, inflammatory back pain (IBP) is a symptom that may indicate axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of current IBP, as a hallmark sign of possible axial SpA, in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and other SpA and to compare self-reported health between the groups with curren

Comparison of CGRP and NO responses in the human peripheral microcirculation of migraine and control subjects.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and nitric oxide (NO) are two molecules shown to have a role in migraine pathophysiology. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that migraine subjects are particularly sensitive to these signal molecules. The cutaneous microvascular responses to endothelial and non-endothelial dependent dilators were tested using laser Doppler flowmetry in combination with

Progressive resistance training after stroke: Effects on muscle strength, muscle tone, gait performance and perceived participation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of progressive resistance training on muscle strength, muscle tone, gait performance and perceived participation after stroke. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial. SUBJECTS: Twenty-four subjects (mean age 61 years (standard deviation 5)) 6-48 months post-stroke.

Speech results in adult Swedish patients born with bilateral complete cleft lip and palate.

Thirty-six adult patients (26 men and 10 women) who had been operated on for bilateral complete cleft lip and palate (BCLP) were evaluated with regard to long-term follow-up consisting of clinical investigation, perceptual speech analysis, and self-estimation of quality of speech. Twenty-six had had a von Langenbeck repair at the age of 14 months (L-14 group), and 10 a Wardill repair at the age of
