Objectives ‒ The STarT Back screening Tool (SBT) captures patients with low back pain (LBP) at risk of worse prognosis. However, the SBT does not include assessment of multisite and chronic widespread pain (MS-CWP). The aim was to study the differences in prognostic factors in patients with LBP classified according to SBT or SBT in combination with MS-CWP, and the 1-year outcome regarding visits t

Long before the Bluetooth symbol started glowing blue ... ... and found its way into the pockets of people all over the world, there was a professor in Lund who refused to give up on a seemingly impossible idea: to replace the cable between mobile phones and headphones with a wireless link. And it was not just any link. It would work at a distance of ten metres, barely draw any power, take up hard

Health applications have increasingly been used to improve physical, mental and social well-being. Chronic pain (CP) is defined as pain that lasts for a period of three months and causes sporadic or constant discomfort. In Portugal, the treatments for this type of pain are almost exclusively pharmacological and with known limited effects. Endowing patients with self-management skills, will help th
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex disease with variations in severity and healthcare utilization. Examining patient pathways through analyses of longitudinal patient data provides an opportunity to describe real-world clinical patient care and evaluate healthcare access and treatment. Objective: To describe longitudinal care pathways including health care management, treatment patter
BACKGROUND: Hospital readmissions are common among older multimorbid patients, and hospitalisation is associated with functional decline and reduced quality of life. Identifying patient characteristics and risk factors for repeated hospital visits following an emergency department (ED) encounter is important for guiding targeted interventions to prevent future revisits.AIM: To characterise multimo
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation improves prognosis after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), however, the optimal method of implementation is unknown. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of individually-tailored, nurse-led cardiac rehabilitation on patient outcomes. Method: This single-centre retrospective observational study included 217 patients (62±9years, 73% men). All patient
Screening for cervical cancer precursors by cytology has been very successful in countries where adequate resources exist to ensure high quality and good coverage of the population at risk. Mortality reductions in excess of 50% have been achieved in many developed countries; however the procedure is generally inefficient and unworkable in many parts of the world where the appropriate infrastructur
This report contains an analysis of the process of composing a contemporary twelve-tone piece for big band. I start off by constructing my tone material, presenting the different rows and how they relate to each other. The composition is then finished before finally arranging the piece for big band. I relate my process to the work of Arnold Schoenberg, who is known as the founder of twelve-tone mu
The arrangement of plant species within a landscape influences pollination via changes in pollinator movement trajectories and plant–pollinator encounter rates. Yet the combined effects of landscape composition and pollinator traits (especially specialisation) on pollination success remain hard to quantify empirically. We used an individual-based model to explore how landscape and pollinator speci
Infant mortality is a powerful indicator to measure the health and social status of a country. The purpose of this study is to identify the important factors that in uence the infant mortality of Bangladesh. Moreover, this study suggests the government and the policy makers to improve the health and social sectors for reducing the country's infant mortality signicantly. To investigate the impo
Background: Specific medical guidelines for health surveillance exist for people with Down syndrome (DS) since 25 years but knowledge of adherence to the guidelines is lacking. The guidelines were developed to avoid unnecessary suffering from preventable conditions. The aims of the study were to investigate 1) planned health care visits in relation to the co-morbidities described in specific medic
Popular Abstract in Swedish Dagens vårdsystem står inför många stora utmaningar. Många av dem är relaterade till komplexa vårdbehov hos den allt större andelen sköra äldre personer. Denna andel ökar samtidigt som många vårdorganisationer har krav på sig att minska kostnaderna. Dessa äldre personer har ofta flera sjukdomar samtidigt och de har vanligtvis kontakter med många olika vårdgivare, på fleThe overall aim of this thesis was to investigate healthcare utilisation patterns and to explore the effects of a case management intervention for frail older people on healthcare utilisation and costs in relation to utility. A further aim was to explore the older people’s and case managers’ experiences of the intervention. Study I was a quantitative study comprising ten age cohorts aged between 6
Background: Some, but not all, reports suggest that patients with Gaucher disease are at increased risk of developing malignancies, particularly hematopoietic tumors. The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of Gaucher disease and subsequent malignancies among male veterans admitted to US Veterans Affairs hospitals. Methods: Among 832 294 African American and 3 668 983 white male veterans w
Purpose Programs referred to as Fast-Track/Rapid Recovery/Enhanced Recovery After Surgery have proven both effective and safe in joint replacement surgery, to the degree where same-day discharge (SDD) has been attempted in carefully selected cases at specialized outpatient units. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate a same-day surgery protocol regarding safety using the minor p
Objectives: Young adults with autism have a different way to develop in body and movement. Do the experiences of body and movement consist with physiotherapeutic findings, in order to guide understanding and interventions?Method: The study involved eleven participants with autism, 16-22 years old, who told about their experiences. They were also examined concerning motor proficiency with Bruininks
BackgroundAs primary health care forms the basis of the health care system, it is regarded as an efficient way to address main causes of, and risk factors for, poor health. In the Swedish health care system, general practitioners play a role in facilitating access to specialized health care and in coordinating care from other parts of the health care system. In Sweden, recent marketization efforts
The aim of this study was to see how the interdisciplinary collaboration between the substitute treatment and the social services are working. I wanted to see how the different organizations looked at each other and what they were expecting of each other, and how that could affect the collaboration. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews with social worker
