A heel ulcer is considered to be a serious complication in patients with diabetes, and there is limited information regarding outcome. In most of the literature, a poor prognosis is described. The aim of this study was to investigate a large cohort of ulcers located in the heel in patients with diabetes. Seven hundred and sixty-eight patients [median age 73 (17-98)], presenting with a heel ulcer a
To avoid discomfort, health care professionals may hesitate to pursue conversations about end of life with patients. Certain tools have the potential to facilitate smoother conversations in this matter. The objective was to explore the experiences of patients in palliative care in using statement cards to talk about their wishes and priorities. Forty-six cards with statements of wishes and priorit
OBJECTIVES: Transport injuries (TI) are ranked as one of the leading causes of death, disability, and property loss worldwide. This paper provides an overview of the burden of TI in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) by age and sex from 1990 to 2015.METHODS: Transport injuries mortality in the EMR was estimated using the Global Burden of Disease mortality database, with corrections for ill-def
OBJECTIVES: We used GBD 2015 findings to measure the burden of intentional injuries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) between 1990 and 2015.METHODS: The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study defines intentional injuries as a combination of self-harm (including suicide), interpersonal violence, collective violence (war), and legal intervention.

Protein energy malnutrition is an important determinant of clinical outcome in older patients after hip fracture, but the effectiveness of nutritional support programs in routine clinical practice is controversial. We performed a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial to determine if nutritional supplementation decreased fracture-related complications in a selection of otherwise health
The demand for organic products is high in France, and the amount of land under organic production is increasing. This is due to the Organic Certification label, that helps to bring up the price and attractiveness of organic goods, and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that provides farmers funds and assistance.

This study is centred around Fridays for Future, a youth movement which has rippled across the world from its first sparks in the fall of 2018 to the spring of 2019, and has given rise to countless pieces about the movement in both traditional and social media. According to critical discourse theory, the discourses that we read in the media both affect us and how we see things, but the context in
Deoxyribonucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and can be synthesized via de novo and salvage pathways. Deoxyribonucleoside kinases (dNKs) salvage deoxyribonucleosides by transfer of a phosphate group to the 5' of a deoxyribonucleoside. This salvage pathway is well characterized in mammals but in contrast little is known about how plants salvage deoxyribonucleosides. We show that during salva
This study is about the multinational oil company Trafigura who has offices in 67 countries. Trasfigua put dangerous waste in coast outside Ivoara 2006. It was dangerous because the effects caused dead to a lot of people.

Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka arbetsmiljöbrottets rättsliga konstruktion och bakomliggande motiv. Uppsatsen avser också att kritiskt granska hur domstolarna förhåller sig till arbetsmiljöbrott som något annat än våld. Det dör ett stort antal personer till följd av arbetsmiljöbrottslighet i Sverige varje år. Med denna uppsats vill jag visa att händelserna trots detta i vissa sammanhang

Ventilatorassocierad pneumoni (VAP) är en luftvägsinfektion som kan utvecklas om patienten varit intuberad i mer än 48 timmar. Av alla vård relaterade infektioner är VAP den ledande orsaken till dödsfall inom intensivvårdsavdelningar runt omkring i världen. VAP förlänger respiratortiden och därmed vårdtiden vilket leder till ökat li-dande för patienten och ökade kostnader för hälso- och sjukvården
Abstract Purpose: To assess the use of periscope grafts to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in extending the distal sealing zone of thoracic stent-grafts. Case Reports: Three patients with ruptured Crawford type I thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) and 1 patient with a symptomatic type B dissection underwent endovascular repair; the celiac trunk was intraoperatively occluded in all patie
The membranous ER spans the entire cell, creating a network for the biosynthesis of proteins and lipids, cell-wide communication, and nuclear delivery of molecules, including therapeutic agents. Here, we identify a novel ER response triggered by the tumoricidal complex alpha1-oleate, defined by a loss of peripheral ER structure, extensive ER vesiculation. Alpha1-oleate was present in the ER-derive
Several studies have shown that the symptoms of grief are different from symptoms of depression among bereaved family members. This study is an attempt to replicate this finding among advanced cancer patients and examine clinical correlates of patient grief and depression. Analyses were conducted on data from interviews with 123 advanced cancer patients. Grief was measured using symptoms from the
