Let me be part of the plan - Experiences of information and information needs after colorectal cancer surgery

Popular Abstract in Swedish När patienten lämnar sjukhuset och återvänder hem efter en operation för kolorektal cancer (tjocktarm och ändtarm) innebär det en stor omställning. De är inte återställda efter den stora bukoperationen och upplever olika symtom som smärta, tarmbesvär och stor trötthet. Eftersom vårdtiderna blir allt kortare har deras återhämtning bara påbörjats på sjukhuset och de kommeThe overall aim of this thesis is to study the experiences of patients and next of kin with regard to information and information needs after being discharged after colorectal cancer surgery. The aim was also to study factors related to this. Different methods were combined in this explorative study in order to obtain diverse types of data. Patients who had undergone surgery for colorectal cancer

Quantification of variability in trichome patterns.

While pattern formation is studied in various areas of biology, little is known about the noise leading to variations between individual realizations of the pattern. One prominent example for de novo pattern formation in plants is the patterning of trichomes on Arabidopsis leaves, which involves genetic regulation and cell-to-cell communication. These processes are potentially variable due to, e.g

Comparison of neuromuscular and quadriceps strengthening exercise in the treatment of varus malaligned knees with medial knee osteoarthritis: a randomised controlled trial protocol

Background: Osteoarthritis of the knee involving predominantly the medial tibiofemoral compartment is common in older people, giving rise to pain and loss of function. Many people experience progressive worsening of the disease over time, particularly those with varus malalignment and increased medial knee joint load. Therefore, interventions that can reduce excessive medial knee loading may be be

Epidemiology of fractures in Iceland and secular trends in major osteoporotic fractures 1989-2008

The incidence of the most common fracture types in Iceland is reported based on individual data from the Reykjavik Study 1967-2008. Time trend is reported for the major osteoporotic fractures (MOS) 1989-2008. This study aims to assess the incidence of all fractures in Iceland, with emphasis on the rate of hip fractures, and compare the incidence with other populations as well as examine the secula

Absorption and scattering of light from ensembles of randomly oriented aggregates

This paper presents one approach to the absorption and scattering of light from aggregates of primary particles. The primary particles are sphere like and small compared to the wavelength, whereas the aggregate can be large compared to the wavelength. This situation applies to when soot particles formed in flames are measured using methods based on laser light. The method presented in this work, c

Retoriken efter Retoriken: Från Aristoteles till retorikämnet idag

Den brittiske filosofen och matematikern Alfred North Whitehead har i ett av sina mer berömda citat sagt att den västerländska filosofihistorien är en serie fotnoter till Platon. På samma sätt kan retorikhistorien sägas vara en serie fotnoter till Aristoteles Retorik. När nu detta inflytelserika verk för första gången finns tillgängligt på svenska kan det vara på sin plats att säga något om detta

Performance of the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC

ALICE is the heavy-ion experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The experiment continuously took data during the first physics campaign of the machine from fall 2009 until early 2013, using proton and lead-ion beams. In this paper we describe the running environment and the data handling procedures, and discuss the performance of the ALICE detectors and analysis methods for various physics ob

Estimation of Respiratory Information from the Built-In Pressure Sensors of a Dialysis Machine

The purpose of the present study is to determine the feasibility of estimating respiratory information from the built-in pressure sensors of a dialysis machine. The study database consists of simultaneous recordings of pressure signals and capnographic signals from 6 patients during 7 hemodialysis treatment sessions. Respiration rates were estimated using respiratory induced variations in the beat

Optimizing imaging for aortic repair.

Imaging is an integral part of an aortic program. Careful preoperative planning is essential to successful evaluation and treatment of aortic pathology. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the dominant modality for such preoperative planning. The use of a dedicated workstation for 3D postprocessing is very favorable and is considered mandatory when treating complex aortic pathology. Intraoper

Housing reconstruction in disaster recovery: a study of fishing communities post-tsunami in chennai, India.

Disaster recovery after the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 led to a number of challenges and raised issues concerning land rights and housing reconstruction in the affected countries. This paper discusses the resistance to relocation of fishing communities in Chennai, India. Qualitative research methods were used to describe complexities in the debate between the state and the community regarding re

The role of N-cadherin and S1P/S1P1 in pancreas development

Popular Abstract in Swedish β-celler producerar insulin som frisätts när blodsockret höjs, t.ex. efter en måltid. Patienter med diabetes saknar de insulinproducerande β-cellerna eller har nedsatt känslighet för insulin. För de patienter som saknar insulin kan det vara svårt att reglera blodsockernivåerna i blodet trots dagliga injektioner med insulin, varför transplanterbara insulinproducerande β-Organogenesis of epithelial organs requires interaction between epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. During pancreas development, mesenchyme-derived structures induce specification, growth and differentiation of pancreatic epithelial cells. For instance, notochord, endothelial cells, and pancreatic mesenchyme are essential for the development of the pancreas. N-cadherin deficient-embryos suffer fro

Monitoring and data quality assessment of the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter

The liquid argon calorimeter is a key component of the ATLAS detector installed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The primary purpose of this calorimeter is the measurement of electron and photon kinematic properties. It also provides a crucial input for measuring jets and missing transverse momentum. An advanced data monitoring procedure was designed to quickly identify issues that would affect

Interaction between DNA and Cationic Surfactants: Effect of DNA Conformation and Surfactant Headgroup.

The interactions between DNA and a number of different cationic surfactants, differing in headgroup polarity, were investigated by electric conductivity measurements and fluorescence microscopy. It was observed that, the critical association concentration (cac), characterizing the onset of surfactant binding to DNA, does not vary significantly with the architecture of the headgroup. However, compa

Nathan Soderblom and Our Own Time

In 1914 Professor Nathan Soderblom was elected archbishop of the Church of Sweden. His consecration took place in Uppsala Cathedral just months after the beginning of World War I. In 1925, he convened an ecumenical meeting in Stockholm that came to shape the ecumenical movement for decades to come. The peace question remained at the heart of his episcopate as long as it lasted. In this article, An

Enrichment of Murine CD68(+)CCR2(+) and CD68(+)CD206(+) Lung Macrophages in Acute Pancreatitis-Associated Acute Lung Injury.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is an important cause of mortality in critically ill patients. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the risk factors for developing this syndrome. Among the inflammatory cells, macrophages have a key role in determining the severity of the acute lung injury. In the lungs, macrophages constitute a heterogeneous cell population distributed in different compartments. Changes in n

Transurethral Resection of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Transitional Cell Cancers With or Without 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Under Visible and Fluorescent Light: Results of a Prospective, Randomised, Multicentre Study

Background: Fluorescent light (FL)-guided cystoscopy induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) has been reported to detect more tumours compared with standard white-light (WL) cystoscopy. Most reports are from single centres with relatively few patients. Objective: To evaluate whether 5-ALA-induced FL and WL cystoscopy at transurethral resection (TUR) is superior compared with standard procedures u

Event-related potentials during word mapping to object shape predict toddlers’ vocabulary size

What role does attention to different object properties play in early vocabulary development? This longitudinal study using event-related potentials in combination with behavioral measures investigated 20- and 24-month-olds’ (n = 38; n = 34; overlapping n = 24) ability to use object shape and object part information in word-object mapping. The N400 component was used to measure semantic priming by

Comparison of two infusion rates of antithrombin concentrate in cardiopulmonary bypass surgery

Background: Antithrombin concentrate (AT) is used to treat heparin resistance (HR) in cardiac surgery. It is usually given slowly due to the fear of anaphylaxis. This may delay cardiac catheterisation and the start of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). HR is often defined as the failure to reach or maintain a target activated clotting time (ACT) despite a standard dose of heparin. It is not generally p
