This paper aims to describe the obstacles and available oppo

Studiens syfte var att nå en fördjupad förståelse av småbarnsföräldrars användande av interaktiva skärmar när de umgås med sina barn; vilken mening användandet har för individen och vilka följder detta kan få för relationen mellan förälder och barn. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta småbarnsföräldrar som sällan, ibland eller ofta använde sig av interaktiva skärmar. Tematisk analys The aim of this study was to gain a greater understanding of the usage of interactive screens by parents of young children, whilst interacting with their children; what role does the usage of interactive screens play for the individual and how does the usage affect the relationship between parent and child. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight parents of young children who rarely,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Humant immunbristvirus (HIV) orsakar förvärvat immunbristtillstånd (AIDS). HIV/AIDS-epidemin har hittills innefattat över 60 miljoner människor som har infekterats och över 30 miljoner av dessa har avlidit i AIDS. HIV-infektion smittar via blod, sexuellt och från mor till barn vid graviditet eller via bröstmjölk. Vid infektion infogas virusets arvsmassa i den infekteradHIV-1 is dominating the global HIV pandemic, while HIV-2 is mainly confined to West Africa. The highest HIV-2 prevalence figures have been reported from Guinea-Bissau. While HIV-1 infection almost invariably leads to progressive immune dysfunction and AIDS, HIV-2 infection is characterised by a smaller proportion of individuals with disease progression to AIDS. In order to monitor the long-term e

Popular Abstract in Swedish ”Practice variation” I den kliniska vardagen ser man ofta slående variationer i handläggningsrutiner mellan läkare och vårdcentraler utan att detta kan förklaras av skillnader i sjuklighet hos patienterna. Dessa oförklarade skillnader benämns ”practice variation” och beror på lokalt förankrade rutiner ofta etablerade sedan länge. De är sällan vetenskapligt underbyggda uBackground and Aims: Differences in the clinical care of patients have been explained through the concept of practice variation, that is, the occurrence of established local medical procedures that varies between geographic areas. The primary measures introduced to eliminate undesirable differences in medical care are the introduction of medical guidelines and economical incentives that rewards th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Barn och ungdomar med hörselnedsättning har, i högre grad än jämnåriga kamrater utan hörselnedsättning, språkliga problem. Dessa problem märks när barnen gått några år i skolan och större krav ställs på deras läsförmåga och på deras förmåga att uttrycka sig i tal och skrift. Problemen kan yttra sig tidigt och på olika sätt, som svårigheter med att uttala och särskilja sThe aim of the present thesis was to explore reading comprehension and narration in children and adolescents with different degrees of hearing impairment (HI). In Study I, reading comprehension was investigated in 16 children with cochlear implants (CI), aged 7-13 years. Over 60% of the investigated children performed at the level of their hearing peers. Reading comprehension was better than expec

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund - Glutenintolerans (celiaki) är en vanlig kronisk tunntarmssjukdom som drabbar 1% av befolkningen och beror på att man inte tål ämnet gluten som förekommer i vete, korn och råg. Celiaki är delvis ärftligt och förekommer i alla åldrar, men upptäcks framför allt hos barn. Intoleransen mot gluten orsakas av en immunologisk reaktion mot tunntarmens slemhinna som efCeliac disease is a prevalent small bowel disease in children caused by permanent intolerance against gliadin, which is the alcohol-soluble fraction of the cereal protein gluten in wheat, rye and barley. Celiac disease is characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate of CD4+ T lymphocytes in the intestinal mucosa leading to damage of villous structure and loss of absorptive surface. As a consequence

Risk stratification of patients with chronic kidney disease and atherosclerotic heart disease is crucial. Microalbuminuria (MA) is associated with an increased risk of kidney and cardiovascular (CV) death, especially in patients with diabetes. However, MA in many instances is not sensitive for disease outcome; for instance, not all diabetic patients with albuminuria progress to kidney failure, and

In my thesis I have chosen to immerse myself in the regional power line network and how it will be built. I have chosen this topic because it is a significant question today and in the future. The investments and technical choices made today, will affect the outcome on the society of tomorrow. When the local power line network was rebuilt, after the hurricane Gudrun in the year 2005, it implied a

The incidence of melanoma is rising, increasing the need for efficient diagnostics. Excisional biopsy and histopathology remain the “gold standard” but often require multiple surgical incisions due to limitations in making a visual assessment of melanoma borders either by eye or using dermatoscopy. This challenge partly arises from the inability to non-invasively produce the necessary spectral con

INTRODUCTION: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a significant improvement in the care of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, but only a small portion of patients receive treatment. Our aim was to analyze EVT implementation in Sweden according to a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for procedural and implementational effectiveness. METHODS: A nationwide prospective registry-based observ

Popular Abstract in Swedish Total höftledsplastik är en vanlig och mycket framgångsrik behandling av smärttillstånd i höftleden. Enligt svenska höftplastikregistret opererades 12651 patienter år 2002 men 1056 patienter fick samma år genomgå ett utbyte av sin höftledsprotes (revision). Att höftleden vrids ur led (luxation) upprepade gånger eller infektion kan vara orsaken till revision men det vanlTotal hip arthroplasty is a very successful procedure. Despite this fact, however, a certain portion of patients has to be revised. One major reason for revision is the wear of the polyethylene leading to loosening and osteolysis. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate linear wear and migration of cemented, all - polyethylene sockets and polyethylene liners in total hip arthroplasty. The a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den övergripande målsättningen med denna avhandling har varit att undersöka molekylära förändringar i icke läkande venösa bensår. Framförallt har fokus lagts på faktorer som underhåller den ständigt pågående inflammationen i venösa sår. Med tanke på att alla venösa sår alltid koloniseras av olika bakterier, har vi undersökt hur bakterier kan påverka sårläkning och inflaChronic skin ulcers are a major health problem and an increasing burden on health care providers. These ulcers have various underlying causes, such as venous or arterial insufficiency, diabetes, or vasculitis. Non-healing venous leg ulcers represent a condition characterized by excessive inflammation and presence of bacteria. The overall aim of this thesis has been to explore the pathogenesis of t

Twenty years after Vassar College welcomed the first American female undergraduates in 1865, the experiences of women college students began to be fictionalized in so-called college stories. This thesis shows how higher education is presented in the novels, collections of short stories, and serialized stories for female readers published before the United States was involved in the First World Wa

Objective: To explore associations between four methods assessing long-term neurocognitive outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and early hypoxic-ischemic neuronal brain injury assessed by the biomarker serum neurofilament light (NFL), and to compare the agreement for the outcome methods. Methods: An explorative post-hoc study was conducted on survivor data from the international Target Te

Background: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of lymph nodes is a widely used method for evaluating lymphadenopathy. FNAB offers general advantages of rapid turnaround time, low cost and minimal morbidity, and more specific advantages in various clinical situations, such as deeply located lymph nodes or patients with significant comorbidities. The FNAB sample can be utilized for a wide range of

PURPOSE: Although numerous biology-driven subtypes have been described previously in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), unsupervised molecular subtyping based on gene expression has been less studied, especially using large cohorts. Thus, we sought to identify the intrinsic molecular subtypes of mCRPC and assess molecular and clinical correlates in the largest combined cohort
