Background The distal forearm fracture is the most common fracture in children. To allocate health care resources and evaluate if prevention strategies have been successful, it is essential to monitor changes in the epidemiology of common fractures. Methods Our hospital serves a city in which year 2006 included 276,244 inhabitants (49,664 <17 years of age). Through the hospital archives, we identi
Soma design is intimately entangled with the politics, not only of design itself, but of bodies. We combine perspectives from soma design, political theory, and Sara Ahmed’s work The Cultural Politics of Emotions, to develop five political provocations that reflect on the politics of soma design and the possibilities and frictions therein. Inspired by soma design’s roots in somaesthetic philosophy
Background: The management of patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) requires imaging diagnostics of good quality and accurate measurement of the degree of slippage. In Sweden, three different radiological methods are commonly used: the calcar femorale method; the Billing method; and the Head-shaft angle described by Southwick. Purpose: To evaluate whether any of the three most com

[Translated title] The Swedish needle exchange program focuses on helping individuals who inject drugs to reduce the risk of illnesses and infections, by offering them clean injecting tools, get in touch with different authorities and organisations that can provide help and support to better their
Avdelningen för konsthistoria och visuella studier forskar om äldre, modern och nutida konst, arkitektur och design utifrån historiska, samhälleliga och estetiska infallsvinklar. Konsthistoria är en humanistisk disciplin i betydelsen ett studium av det mänskliga. Det vi kallar konst är en människans spegel – äldre än historiens textbaserade källor och idag levande och mångfacetterad. Samtidigt äThe Division of Art History and Visual Studies researches old, modern and contemporary art, architecture and design, from historical, social and aesthetic perspectives. Art History is a humanistic discipline, a study of that which is human. What we call art is a mirror for the human, older than textual sources and vibrant and multifaceted today. At the same time, artworks are linked to their time
“You smell that? Smell that. This is legacy.” - Aldo Gucci [Al Pacino, The House of Gucci] Recently, the movie ‘House of Gucci’ was released revolving around the dark twists and turns that the brand Gucci went through internally. Including the rise and fall of the Gucci dynasty, from betrayal to murder. While based on actual events, the movie is heavily dramatized. While it is certainly entertaini
Vi bedriver ledande forskning med spets och bredd inom det laboratoriemedicinska fältet med fokus på hur sjukdomar uppkommer och hur vi kan förbättra patienters diagnostik och behandling. Några av våra starkaste områden med forskning i världsklass, handlar om cancer-, genetik- och blodforskning. Ett annat fokusområde är arbets- och miljömedicin, där vi studerar hur vår miljö påverkar vår hälsa. UtWe are conducting leading research that is specific yet broad within the field of laboratory medicine, focusing on how diseases arise and how we can improve diagnosis and treatment of patients. Some of our strongest areas of world-class research concern cancer, genetics and blood research. Another focus area is occupational and environmental medicine, where we study how our environment affects our
Bokhistorisk forskning kretsar kring boken och andra dokumenttyper som fysiska föremål och kring samspelet mellan individen, samhället och den grafiska kommunikationen i såväl äldre som modern tid. Tryckkulturens materiella och sociala historia, de grafiska teknikernas funktion och betydelse i empiriskt och historiskt såväl som teoretiskt hänseende samt bokens, bildens och typografins funktioner oBook history research encompasses the book and other document types as physical objects as well as the interaction between the individual, society and graphical communication through out history. The material and social history of print culture, and the function and significance of graphical techniques in empirical and historical as well as theoretical terms constitute key areas of the division’s
The fast development of computational power of the mobile phone makes it a suitable platform for running map applications. Both public and field working professionals can benefit from easy access to a mobile map client application with features such as route planning, location based services and simple GIS operations. This master's thesis describes the mobile operating system (OS) Android from
Technology has become a vital part of people’s lives. Mobile phones, smart phones, social media platforms, apps and other internet-connected devices and software have changed our way of interacting with each other, as well as managing everyday tasks. In this article, the use of such technology is discussed in relation to its integration in the lives of women who are victims of domestic violence. T
The risk of above-ankle reamputation following a transmetatarsal amputation is around 30%. Patient selection may be crucial to achieve good outcomes, and to avoid futile operations and suffering. We are aware of no previous comparison between the two largest patient groups that undergo lower extremity amputations: patients with diabetes, and patients with non-diabetic peripheral artery disease. Pa
Genom hela livet utgår all blodbildning från så kallade blodstamceller som försörjer kroppen med miljarder blodkroppar varje dag. En normal balanserad produktion av blodkroppar via blodstamcellerna är avgörande för att vi skall hålla oss friska. Störningar i denna balans kan få dramatiska konsekvenser, vilka bland annat inkluderar utveckling av anemi (”blodbrist”) och en ökad känslighet att drabbaDysfunctional blood cell development can have fatal consequences on human health, with implications for several key areas of modern medicine, including amongst others the broad research areas of oncology and immunology. The Division of Molecular Hematology (DMH) aims to generate new knowledge about the regulation of blood cell development by applying recent advances in stem cell technology, in ord
