Objective. To examine the appropriateness and necessity of colonoscopy across Europe. Design. Prospective observational study. Setting. A total of 21 gastrointestinal centers from 11 countries. Participants. Consecutive patients referred for colonoscopy at each center. Intervention. Appropriateness criteria developed by the European Panel on the Appropriateness of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, u
BACKGROUND: We still lack comparing data of the plasma volume (PV)-expanding effect of the most commonly used colloids including dextran 70. This study compares the PV-expanding effects of 6% dextran 70, 5% albumin, and 6% hydroxyethylstarch (HES) 130/0.4 after a standardized hemorrhage. METHODS: The prospective and randomized study on 33 anesthetized adult male guinea pigs involved three groups (
The pedagogy of student-driven imitation is derived from Quintilian’s chapter on imitation in book 10 of the Institutio Oratoria, aimed at the mature student and life long learning. Following the precepts of Quintilian, this contemporary pedagogy focuses on the formation of the citizen-orator by addressing questions such as: ‘What models would be fruitful for me as a student to learn from?’ and ‘H
Flux equations describing brain D-glucose uptake are presented for up to four tissue compartments: blood, endothelial intracellular space in the blood-brain barrier (BBB), extravascular-extracellular space (EES), and intracellular space. Transport rates are described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics, including half-saturation constants ( K T ) and maximum rates for transport ( T max )
Entre 2009 et 2011 nous avons mené un projet de recherche à l’université de Lund (Suède) intitulé L'âge de début d’acquisition et le développement linguistique en français (Schlyter/Granfeldt) dont le but était de comparer le développement linguistique du français de trois groupes d’enfants : des enfants monolingues (L1), des enfants bilingues simultanés (2L1) et des enfants ayant le français comm

Breast cancer screening is predominantly performed using digital mammography (DM), but higher sensitivity has been demonstrated with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). A partial DBT screening in selected groups with a clear benefit from DBT might be more feasible than a full implementation, and using artificial intelligence (AI) to select women for DBT might be a possibility. This study used data
Denna avhandling undersöker vetenskapens roll i den politiska processens tidiga stadier. Detta görs genom att studera hur "geoengineering" kommer upp på den politiska agendan. Begreppet ”geoengineering” används även på svenska och beskriver en uppsättning idéer om hur man stabiliserar den globala temperaturen genom att ingripa i jordens miljösystem. Begreppet mötte stark skepsis i det vetenskapligThis thesis examines the role of science in the earliest stages of the political process. It does this by studying the emergence of ‘geoengineering’ on the political agenda. The term describes a set of ideas on how to stabilize global temperature by intervening into the Earth’s natural systems, and was subject to a strong taboo in the scientific community until the mid-2000s. Yet within a decade,
Background: Self-rated health (SRH) is an international measure and indicator of mortality and morbidity that can be used as a mortality predictor in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the status of SRH among adults in Qazvin Province and its relationship with physical activity levels and demographic factors in primary care centers. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We included data fr
The premise of this bachelor’s thesis is that Swedish Early Childhood Education is underrepresented in social science research, despite being governed by political objectives and constituting one of the most central welfare institutions in Swedish society. The empirical material consists of four Swedish Government Official Reports published between 1972 and 2020. Using a qualitative content analys
Background: Despite optimal dopaminergic treatment most patients in moderate to advanced stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) experience progressively increasing disabilities, necessitating a shift from oral medication to device-aided therapies, including deep brain stimulation (DBS), intrajejunal levodopa-carbidopa infusion (IJLI), and continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI). However, t
Transient cerebral ischemia in normoglycemic animals is followed by a decrease in glucose utilization, reflecting a postischemic cerebral metabolic depression and a reduction in the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Preischemic hyperglycemia, which aggravates ischemic brain damage and invariably causes seizure, is known to further reduce cerebral metabolic rate. To investigate
The Sustainable Business Model Canvas (SBMC) offers a useful tool for business model design, as it manages to integrate all three dimensions of sustainability without distinguishing between three different layers (economic, environmental, and social). This paper presents the application of SBMC in a real study case of a one-stop-shop (OSS) for the renovation of single-family houses operating inKro
OBJECTIVE: To investigate feasibility and target engagement of high-dose, add-on pramipexole treatment in anhedonic depression.METHOD: In this open-label pilot study, we included 12 patients with unipolar or bipolar, moderate-to-severe depression and with significant anhedonia symptoms. All patients were on a stable dose of one or a combination of antidepressants and/or mood stabilizers and receiv
This study follows on from a network-based assessment redesign project at a Canadian university, to investigate factors relating to academic engagement and sustained implementation. The project was designed with mini-grants, embedded support and a community of practice. Assessment facilitators worked in discipline clusters to achieve mutual goals for assessment reform targeted at authentic develop
