PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of lateral tension as a survival factor for retinal explants in vitro. The central nervous system (CNS) resides in a highly mechanical milieu. However, the importance of biomechanical homeostasis for normal CNS function has not been extensively explored. Diseases in which normal mechanical forces are disrupted, such as retinal detachment
Objective: This paper reports on patients' perspectives on the nurse management of hypertension following consultation training, elicited as part of a randomised controlled study. Method: Telephone interviews were conducted with 16 patients in an intervention group (IG) and eight patients in a control group (CG), 3 years after nurses' consultation training in primary health care. By means of a 3-d
Abstract Background and aims. Microscopic colitis (MC), predominantly affecting women, is associated with thyroid disorders, although purely defined of which type, or compared with controls. Its association with subclinical thyroid disorders, and related increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, has never been examined. The aim was to examine the prevalence of autoantibodies and subclinical and c
Popular Abstract in Swedish Entusiasmen över de stora landvinningarna inom läkemedelsområdet skuggas av en ökad medvetenhet om läkemedelsrelaterade problem samt av höga och ökande läkemedelskostnader. De bevisade effekterna i rigoröst kontrollerade kliniska prövningar motsvaras inte alltid av en förbättrad hälsa när läkemedlet når större spridning i samhället och sjukligheten bara blir en av mångaThe influence of socioeconomic factors on drug utilisation has been studied by pharmacoepidemiological analyses involving 1) drugs that are used to cure disease, such as antibiotics, 2) drugs that are used to alleviate symptoms, such as weak opioids, and 3) drugs that are used to prevent disease, such as statins. In a large Swedish city (Malmö), the utilisation of four major drug groups (ATC-grou
Many cells express receptors for plasminogen (Pg), although the responsible molecules in most cases are poorly defined. In contrast, the group A streptococcal surface protein PAM contains a domain with two 13-amino acid residue long repeated sequences (a1 and a2) responsible for Pg binding. Here we identify the region in Pg that interacts with PAM. A radiolabeled proteolytic plasminogen fragment c
I am grateful to Daniel Little for his insightful reply to my recent article in Social Epistemology (2012, 105-114) about what appears to be a flaw in Jon Elster’s conception of mechanisms. I agree with much of what Little says, but want to amplify a different underlying problem with Elster’s conception (fourth point below) than Little suggests in his reply (third point below). This underlying pro

Avsikten med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur Härskarringen av J.R.R Tolkien har blivit en så pass stark bästsäljare och steady seller under en längre tid. Detta har undersökts genom att studera de litterära värden som presenteras i boken Höstens Böcker och genom att därefter ha genomfört en enkätundersökning, där frågorna varit utformade baserat på dessa litterära värden. Författarna i H
As we grapple with the existential threat of global climate change and biodiversity collapse, there is a growing recognition to address the ever-growing levels of consumption. There is an urgent need to clamp down on the excessive levels of lifestyle emissions fuelled by individuals in the developed world along with the growing middle class in the developing parts for us to have any chances of hav
This study explores the boundary of due diligence as state obligations in dealing with domestic violence mainly based on the formulation and application of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (the Istanbul Convention). It compares Istanbul convention which exclusively aims at protecting female victims against all forms of violen
This study aims to discourage error-prone intuitive thinking in decision-making for proactive adaptation to disaster risk and climate change and to encourage the realisation of well-founded proactive adaptation measures by developing a decision support tool for Swedish municipal preparedness coordinators. Using a design research methodology, the researchers interviewed preparedness coordinators fr
