BACKGROUND: Trauma causes significant global burden of disease. Trauma life support training programmes aim to improve early trauma care, but little is known about their effects on patient outcomes.METHODS: We conducted a systematic review using keywords and medical subject headings (MeSH-terms) related to trauma life support training in seven online databases: Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Sc
Survival for children on the waiting list has improved significantly over time in Sweden and the Nordic countries, despite an increase in waiting list duration over time. Approximately 40% of hearts used for pediatric heart transplantation in Sweden come from donors in other Nordic countries. Outcomes following pediatric heart transplantation in Sweden and the Nordic countries are comparable to mu
BACKGROUND: The Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committees (SNC) guideline is a validated and well established decision tool for pediatric minor to moderate head trauma in Sweden, categorizing patients into low, moderate and high risk for intracranial injury. It recommends observation over imaging with computer tomography in low and moderate risk stratified patients. However the effect on guideline imple

Vad händer när en berättelse rör sig mellan olika uttrycksformer, från ord till bild, från ett språk till ett annat, från bok till film? Mellan ord och bild: Tolkningens retoriska vägar undersöker de kreativa och retoriska processer bakom denna omformning. Med frågor om översättning, adaption och illustration i fokus belyses hur nya betydelser och perspektiv uppstår genom dessa processer. Boken ut
This contribution aims to identify and clarify emotional aspects of conducting observation studies. The researcher, in most cases, does not want to interfere with or influence the phenomenon under observation, but uses her/himself as a tool to collect material. Even if the observer does not participate verbally, s/he can be emotionally participative using her/his emotions as a methodological tool,

The dominant image of judicial authority is emotional detachment; however, judicial work involves emotion. This presents a challenge for researchers to investigate emotions where they are disavowed. Two projects, one in Australia and another in Sweden, use multiple sociological research methods to study judicial experience, expression, and management of emotion.

The role of emotions in qualitative research receives increasing attention. We argue for an active rather than a reactive approach towards emotions to improve the quality of research; emotions are a vital source of information and researchers use emotions strategically.

Perennial plants come with several benefits: less erosion, reduced intensity of farming operations, and increased carbon inputs into the soil. In a long term field experiment in Alnarp, Sweden, the perennial wheatgrass Kernza® is compared with an annual crop rotation (including wheat, sugar beet, barley and rapeseed), comparing the CO2 flux between the soil and the air together with other aspects https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E94FUoaPqYk
Klimatförändringar förväntas öka frekvensen och intensiteten av klimatrelaterade risker, vilket i sin tur kan leda till så kallade Natech-olyckor, definierade som industriella olyckor där klimatrisker orsakar sekundära teknologiska händelser. Svenska industriverksamheter som hanterar farliga ämnen omfattas av Sevesolagstiftningen, där krav finns på att beakta sådana risker. Samtidigt är Natech-risClimate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of natural hazards, which in turn may lead to Natech accidents, defined as industrial accidents in which natural hazards trigger secondary technological events. Swedish industrial establishments that handle hazardous substances are subject to the Seveso legislation, which requires such risks to be taken into account. At the same ti
AimsDyspnoea accounts for nearly 5% of emergency department (ED) visits. Our aim was to describe the in-hospital and long-term outcomes of patients admitted to the ED for dyspnoea, based on their underlying aetiology, and to determine if prognosis varies according to the hospitalization setting.MethodsWe analyzed 18 903 consecutive patients (48% male, average age 73 years) hospitalized after an ED
OBJECTIVES: The National Board of Health and Welfare in Sweden published the national guidelines for Parkinson's Disease 2016. The aim of this study was to summarize this evidence review and development of the guidelines, focusing on the economic evaluation of device-aided therapies (deep brain stimulation, pump-based infusion of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel or apomorphine) for Parkinson's di
Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) contains different components that can elicit varying adverse health effects in humans and animals. Studies on PM toxicity and its underlying mechanisms in the middle ear are limited, and they generally use a PM standard. However, as PM composition varies temporally and geographically, it is crucial to identify the toxic PM constituents according to season and r
Cas9 nucleases are widely used for genome editing and engineering. Cas9 enzymes encoded by CRISPR-Cas defence systems of various prokaryotic organisms possess different properties such as target site preferences, size, and DNA cleavage efficiency. Here, we biochemically characterized CoCas9 from Capnocytophaga ochracea, a bacterium that inhabits the oral cavity of humans and contributes to plaque
Type II CRISPR-Cas9 RNA-guided nucleases are widely used for genome engineering. Type II-A SpCas9 protein from Streptococcus pyogenes is the most investigated and highly used enzyme of its class. Nevertheless, it has some drawbacks, including a relatively big size, imperfect specificity and restriction to DNA targets flanked by an NGG PAM sequence. Cas9 orthologs from other bacterial species may p
Protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania cause leishmaniasis, a disease with variable clinical manifestations that affects millions of people worldwide. Infection with L. donovani can result in fatal visceral disease. In Panama, Colombia, and Costa Rica, L. panamensis is responsible for most of the reported cases of cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. Studying a large number of drug cand
The electrode's composition and structure, affecting ion-conduction and water uptake and transport, is crucial for polymer electrolyte fuel cells. This study investigates the role of particles versus dispersed ionomer based on poly(arylene piperidinium) (PAP) for AEMFC. Mixed ionomer electrodes, consisting of linear PAP ionomers and crosslinked particles, are synthesized and evaluated in AEMF
