The international development community is transitioning from the era of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), ending in 2015, to the era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which have a 2030 target. Global development assistance for health (DAH) increased substantially in the MDGs era, from US $10.8 billion in 2001 to $28.1 billion by 2012 (in 2010 US dollars), and it played a crucial
The aim of this study was to describe first-time mothers' views of satisfaction with their first encounter with the nurse, in order to investigate differences between home visits and clinic visits and between high/middle and low socioeconomic classification (SEC). A nation-wide postal questionnaire sent to 800 first-time mothers yielded the data for statistical analysis. Data were collected using
Summary Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies against proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA) are used as diagnostic tools for patients with small vessel vasculitis (AASV). We have produced chimeric mouse/human PR3 molecules and investigate changes in reactivity over time and the possible relationship between epitope specificity and clinical course. Thirty-eight PR3-ANCA-positive patients diagnosed between 1990
In 2006, a cross-sectional survey of 384 randomly selected houses within a community-based follow-up study was conducted to assess the human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) prevalence in Bissau. Changes in prevalence and incidence rates were assessed based on a similar survey carried out 10 years earlier. The prevalence of HTLV-1 declined significantly from 3.5% in 1996 to 2.3% in 2006. The incid
Background Chronic immune stimulation appears to be associated with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)-Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM); however, available information is sparse. We conducted, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive study to date to evaluate associations between a personal or family history of many immune-related and/or inflammatory disorders and the subsequent risk of LPL-WM. Me
In a large case-control study of Swedish incident type I diabetes patients and controls, 0–34 years of age, we tested the hypothesis that the GIMAP5 gene, a key genetic factor for lymphopenia in spontaneous BioBreeding rat diabetes, is associated with type I diabetes; with islet autoantibodies in incident type I diabetes patients or with age at clinical onset in incident type I diabetes patients.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet i denna avhandling har lett till en ökad förståelse av proteinet SOX11:as roll som biomarkör för äggstockscancer och B-cells-lymfom vilket förhoppningsvis kommer att resultera i enklare diagnos, bättre prognostik samt eventuellt nya terapier för dessa cancertyper. Var tredje person i Sverige beräknas få en cancerdiagnos någon gång i livet och statistiken är likIt is estimated that one third of all people in Sweden will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The outcome for a specific patient is related to early and correct diagnosis, and prediction of effective treatment regimens. Biomarkers are molecules that can aid the clinician in such decisions regarding diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. In this thesis, based on five original papers, the
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the neoliberal production of anxiety in academic faculty members in universities in Northern Europe. The paper focuses on neoliberalization as it is instantiated through audit and ranking systems designed to produce academia as a space of economic efficiency and intensifying competition. We suggest that powerful forms of competition and ranking of acad
Objective: To study the efficacy of psoralen with ultraviolet A photochemotherapy (PUVA) and narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy (NBUVB), for early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) in Thais. Materials and Methods: A retrospective medical chart review of 50 cases was performed. Demographic data, type of phototherapy, duration of treatments, clinical response, relapse, and adverse effects were analyze
This chapter examines the development of maternal and infant mortality and its connection to changes in medical and healthcare treatment of mothers and infants in the city of Landskrona, Sweden, and its rural hinterland between 1905 and 2015. The authors show that maternal mortality, stillbirth rates, and infant mortality declined strongly in this period. In parallel, hospitals began to admit more
Objective: Real-life management of hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unclear. Methods: A survey was conducted in 2023 by the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) to assess management of CKD patients referred to ESH-Hypertension Excellence Centres (ESH-ECs) at first referral visit. The questionnaire contained 64 questions with which ESH-ECs representatives were asked to e
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien handlar om fysiologen Frithiof Holmgrens försök att fastställa seendets natur på experimentell väg. Avsikten är att problematisera Holmgrens intresse för synsinnet mot bakgrund av de metoder och vetenskapliga ideal som var förhärskande inom den experimentella fysiologin, det ämne som Holmgren introducerade i Sverige 1862. Generellt kan man säga att Holmgrens forThis study deals with research on the visual organ as pursued in experimental physiology during the latter half of the nineteenth-century. In the 1850's och 60's experimental physiology developed as a new, scientific discipline within the curriculum of western medicine. By opposing the natural philosophical and vitalistic viewpoint of romantic medicine and by proclaiming measuring devices, animal
Popular Abstract in Swedish Människans immunförsvar har utvecklats under miljontals år för att i bästa möjliga mån skydda oss från infektioner och det sköter i de allra flesta fall det jobbet utmärkt. Ibland händer det dock att någonting går fel och konsekvensen kan bli väldigt obehaglig eller till och med förödande för den drabbade. Allergiska reaktioner är ett utmärkt exempel på en sådan situatiAntibodies of the IgE isotype play a key role as the allergen recognizer in allergic disease, which today affects as much as a third of the population in the industrialized parts of the world. Despite this crucial role of IgE, our knowledge of IgE repertoires and how we can utilize the information hidden in monoclonal IgE to improve the quality of life of allergic patients, is limited.
