The aesthetic outcome is crucial in a breast reconstruction. Our aim was to evaluate the intra- and interrater reliability of an aesthetic outcome assessment scale with digital photos of breast reconstructions in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) format. Thirty-three women with delayed breast reconstructions, consecutively participating in a five-year follow-up between November 2019
OBJECTIVES: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score is the basis of the Sepsis-3 criteria and requires arterial blood gas analysis to assess respiratory function. Peripheral oxygen saturation is a noninvasive alternative but is not included in neither Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score nor Sepsis-3. We aimed to assess the association between worst peripheral oxygen saturation during onset
This article illuminates (inter)actions and group dynamics of adult volunteers in programs for bereaved children and parents. A focus group interview with seven volunteers in Swedish was conducted. A latent, thematic analysis was conducted, inspired by Braun and Clarke, and Goffman. Two themes were constructed: Personal despair as a motivation for establishing and consolidating voluntary involveme
Introduction: This study examined the emotional impact that parents experience when confronted with an increased genetic risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in their child. Population-based screening of neonates for genetic risk of chronic disease carries the risk of increased emotional burden for parents. Methods: Information was collected using a well-being questionnaire for parents of infants identif
The implications of professionalization of civil society organizations have seldom been explored in relation to the governance structure of organizations’ and leaders’ different terms of engagement. This study draws on a survey targeting leaders of Swedish welfare-oriented civil society organizations (N. 140) and compares the motives for engagement and leadership ideals of two groups of leaders: b
Why and how new migration routes emerge remain fundamental questions in ecology, particularly in the context of current global changes. In its early stages, when few individuals are involved, the evolution of new migration routes can be easily confused with vagrancy, i.e. the occurrence of individuals outside their regular breeding, non-breeding or migratory distribution ranges. Yet, vagrancy can
INTRODUCTION Women and their families are often excluded from reproductive decisionmaking processes in postnatal care, and do not know which choices they have. Shared decision-making is a critical but challenging component of maternity care quality. The aim was to explore women's experience of the decision-making process about early return from hospital with home-based postnatal midwifery care. ME
In KEYNOTE-564, adjuvant pembrolizumab, a PD-1 antibody, significantly improved disease-free survival (DFS) in localised clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) with a high risk of relapse. In 2021, the European Association of Urology RCC Guidelines Panel issued a weak recommendation for adjuvant pembrolizumab for high-risk ccRCC as defined by the trial until final overall survival data and result
High levels of cell-free haemoglobin (Hb) may occur in plasma as a consequence of e.g., pathological haemolysis or blood transfusion. These Hb molecules can be removed from blood circulation by forming a complex with the acute-phase protein haptoglobin (Hp) and thereby can also the intrinsic toxicity of free Hb be limited. In this study it is shown that ferric HbA, HbF, HbE and HbS, respectively,
OBJECTIVE: To describe bilirubin levels in neonates ≥ 35+0 gestational weeks, receiving delayed cord clamping (CC), in relation to the updated Bhutani nomogram.STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective, observational study based on data from medical records and local data sheets. Singleton neonates, born vaginally at a gestational age (GA) ≥ 35+0, and with a registered time to CC and at least one reg
Purpose: Fatigue is a major symptom of ABI. Greater fatigue is associated with cognitive impairment. Our aim was to systematically review, describe and analyse the literature on the extent of this relationship. Methods: Five databases were searched from inception. Studies were included where: participants had a defined clinical diagnosis of ABI which included TBI, stroke or subarachnoid haemorrhag
Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are among the most promising candidates to replace Pt as the catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). However, synthesizing size-controlled Ag NPs with efficient catalytic performance is still challenging. Herein, uniform Ag NPs are produced through a γ-radiation induced synthesis route in aqueous solutions, using th
Over the past 150 years, industrialization, globalization and population growth have altered the planet and its natural conditions at a rapid pace. In this new era, the Anthropocene, environmental degradation has come to a state where sustainable ecosystem management has developed into an urgent quest for humans to maintain their own life-support system. The ecosystem services (ES) concept, initia
Olympic legacy was previously seen as a potential burden on the host city, however an evolutionary shift has occurred whereby it can now be regarded as an instrument in wider urban policy planning. Sustainable development is a requirement set by some governments, and London 2012 aimed to use the Olympic legacy for sustainable development in the form of urban regeneration. This paper is a case stud
Syftet med uppsatsen var att utvärdera dialektisk beteendeterapi för ungdomar, en behandling som initialt utvecklats för en äldre patientgrupp. Inledningsvis jämfördes patienternas (N = 33, ålder = 13-17) skattningar innan behandlingen, gällande psykiatrisk problematik, anknytningsdimensioner samt temperaments- och karaktärsfaktorer, mot normgrupper. För en mindre grupp (N = 10) undersöktes däreftThe purpose of the paper was to evaluate a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) treatment for adolescents, a treatment that was originally developed for older patient groups. First patients (N = 33, age = 13-17) were compared with norm groups on current psychiatric problems, attachment dimensions (ASQ) and temperament and character factors (TCI). The adolescent patient group differed in most of thes
The aim of this qualitative study was to examine professional attires’ meaning for social workers’ construction of the professional role. The questions focused on in this study were: how does the social worker perceive the attires’ meaning in meetings with clients; what meaning does professional attire hold for the social workers’ perception of their own and their colleagues’ professional role; ho
Direktivet 2001/42/EG om bedömning av vissa planers och programs miljöpåverkan antogs av Europeiska Gemenskapen år 2001 och implementerades fullt ut i svensk lagstiftning år 2005. Enligt svenska lag ska en miljökonsekvensbeskrivning (MKB) genomföras för detaljplaner som om de genomförs innebär betydande miljöpåverkan. Syftet med det här examensarbetet var att identifiera och analysera olika kommun
Följande uppsats är skriven på uppdrag av Länsstyrelsen i Gotlands län med syfte att tillämpa GIS för att identifiera lämpliga områden för kontrollerad naturvårdsbränning. Skogsbränder, både naturliga och antropogena, har historiskt varit en frekvent närvarande störningsregim i den svenska skogen. Branden har bidragit till att skapa stora delar av de strukturer och den biologiska mångfald som finnThis study was conducted on behalf of the county administrative board of Gotland, with the aim of using Geographical Information systems to identify protected forest areas where controlled fires would be suitable to incorporate in management plans. Forest fire, being both a natural and cultural phenomenon has historically been a frequently recurrent disturbance regime in the boreal and boreonemora
