Social media has become the most popular communication channel. Large amounts of information flows are being exchanged between users. The information shared on social media is seen as more reliable than the information found on traditional media. Companies have already incorporated social media as one of their communication channels. However, the evolution of social media has occurred in such a br

Background: In advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), dyskinesias and non-motor symptoms such as sleep dysfunction can significantly impair quality of life, and high-quality management is an unmet need. Objective: To analyze changes in dyskinesia and non-motor symptoms (including sleep) among studies with levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in patients with advanced PD. Methods: A comprehensive l

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut bukspottkörtelinflammation (akut pankreatit ? AP) är en akut inflammation som kan resultera i en självdestruktiv process i bukspottkörteln. 70-80 % av fall med AP klassificeras som lätta-måttliga och är självbegränsande, medan cirka 20 % klassas som svåra och karakteriseras av utvecklingen av nekros (vävnadsdöd) i bukspottkörteln och omkringliggande vävnad, utvecklIn acute pancreatitis (AP), lung injury is an early occuring and important part of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The mechanisms underlying the development of lung injury though still largely remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to study mechanisms of the systemic and secondary pulmonary inflammation and injury, with an emphasis on the involvement of immune cells, inflammato

Rainflow cycles are often used in fatigue analysis of materials for describing the variability of applied loads. Therefore, an important characteristic of a random load process is the intensity of rainflow cycles, also called the expected rainflow matrix (RFM), which can be used for evaluation of the fatigue life. In this thesis mainly two problems are addressed: the first is computation of the ex

Commercial finite element codes are designed with a wide variety of tools and options to suit the needs of many different applications. However, in a teaching setting this is not always desirable as the effort required to learn the software draws focus and time from the teaching of the theoretical concepts. Using fully developed solvers might also allow solving of exercises without fully understan

MAX-lab is a synchrotron radiation laboratory run in cooperation between Lund University and the Swedish Research Council. It currently consists of three stor-age rings, however, construction has begun of the fourth. MAX IV will be located outside of the Lund University Faculty of Engineering campus, in the northeastern part of Lund. Induced by the development in material technology at the nanomet

Introduction: Ischemic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious complication of complex aortic repair. Prophylactic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, used to decrease lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, enables monitoring of CSF biomarkers that may aid in detecting impending SCI. We hypothesized that biomarkers, previously evaluated in traumatic SCI and brain injury, would be altered in CSF

AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the predictive role of biomarkers, associated with cardiovascular stress and its neuroendocrine response as well as renal function, in relation to mortality and risk of re-hospitalization among consecutive patients admitted because of heart failure (HF).METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 286 patients (mean age, 75 years; 29% women) hospitalized for newly diagn

Background Five modifiable risk factors are associated with cardiovascular disease and death from any cause. Studies using individual-level data to evaluate the regional and sex-specific prevalence of the risk factors and their effect on these outcomes are lacking. Methods We pooled and harmonized individual-level data from 112 cohort studies conducted in 34 countries and 8 geographic regions part

Objectives: In India, cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women and makes up for up to 29% of all registered cancer in females. Cancer-related pain is one of the major distressing symptoms for all cancer patients. Pain is characterised as somatic or neuropathic, and the total pain experience is often mixed. Conventional opioids are the backbone of analgesic treatment but are most often

In radiological diagnostics and therapy, it is important that practitioners, referrers, (i.e. radiologists, radiation oncologists and others in health-care) are aware of how much radiation a patient may receive from the various procedures used and associated health risk. The profession has a duty to inform patients or their representatives of the advantages and disadvantages of specific investigatIn radiological diagnostics and therapy, it is important that practitioners, referrers, (i.e. radiologists, radiation oncologists and others in healthcare) are aware of how much radiation a patient may receive from the various procedures used and associated health risk.

Popular Abstract in Swedish De svenska framtidsuttrycken (futuralt presens, futuralt skola och futuralt komma) är alla kontextuellt betingade användningar av uttryck som också har andra funktioner. Syftet med min avhandling är att beskriva vilka kontextvillkor som måste vara uppfyllda för att de tre uttrycken ska fungera som framtidsuttryck. I den modell över svenskans temporala system som presentThe main aim of this study is to specify the contextual conditions that apply to the use of the three central expressions for the future in Swedish: the present form and the auxiliaries skola and komma. A tense suffix indicates a temporal domain and states that a mediating element, here called FIX, is placed in the indicated domain. The present suffix points to a domain that overlaps temporally wi

Objective: To assess the pain and functional disability levels corresponding to an indication for total joint replacement (TJR) in hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Design: International cross-sectional study in 10 countries. Patients: Consecutive outpatients with definite hip or knee OA attending an orthopaedic outpatient clinic. Gold standard measure for recommendation for TJR: Surgeon'

Background: As lung function declines rapidly in the early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the effects of bronchodilators in patients with moderate disease and those who have not previously received maintenance therapy are of interest. OTEMTO® 1 and 2 were two replicate, 12-week, Phase III studies investigating the benefit of tiotropium + olodaterol on lung function and qua

Objective: Neurological outcome prediction is crucial early after cardiac arrest. Serum biomarkers released from brain cells after hypoxic-ischaemic injury may aid in outcome prediction. The only serum biomarker presently recommended in the European Resuscitation Council prognostication guidelines is neuron-specific enolase (NSE), but NSE has limitations. In this study, we therefore analyzed the o
