Importance: Patients who survive severe intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) typically have poor functional outcome in the short term and understanding of future recovery is limited. Objective: To describe 1-year recovery trajectories among ICH and IVH survivors with initial severe disability and assess the association of hospital events with long-term recovery. Des

STUDY QUESTION Does an intensive weight reduction programme prior to IVF increase live birth rates for infertile obese women? SUMMARY ANSWER An intensive weight reduction programme resulted in a large weight loss but did not substantially affect live birth rates in obese women scheduled for IVF. WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN Among obese women, fertility and obstetric outcomes are influenced negatively wit

Older people with arrhythmias comprise a large group requiring complex care, posing many healthcare challenges. Rapid growth of the older population demands a better understanding of the needs of this patient group. The aim of this thesis was to investigate arrhythmia prevalence, incidence, survival, and experiences from the perspective of a geriatric population (aged 60+ years), and to examine th

Background: At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled. For newborns to have a successful transition, this fluid must be replaced by air to enable effective breathing. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Giving prolonged (sustained) inflations at the start of PPV may help clear lung fluid and establish gas volu

Background: Clinical egg allergy is a common food allergy. Current management relies upon strict allergen avoidance. Oral immunotherapy might be an optional treatment, through desensitization to egg allergen. Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of oral and sublingual immunotherapy in children and adults with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated egg allergy as compared to a placebo treatmen

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity, attention problems, and difficulties with social interactions. Pharmacological treatment may alleviate the symptoms of ADHD but this rarely solves difficulties with social interactions. Children with ADHD may benefit from interventions designed to improve their social skills.We

It is established that the glomerular filter sieves macromolecules based on their size, shape, and charge. Anionic proteins are thus retarded compared with their neutral or cationic counterparts. However, recent studies have indicated that charge effects are small, or even "anomalous," for polysaccharides. We therefore investigated the impact of charge on the glomerular permeability to polysacchar

Background Smokers have a substantially increased risk of postoperative complications. Preoperative smoking intervention may be effective in decreasing this incidence, and surgery may constitute a unique opportunity for smoking cessation interventions. Objectives The objectives of this review are to assess the effect of preoperative smoking intervention on smoking cessation at the time of surgery

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har osteoporos (benskörhet) erhållit allt större uppmärksamhet eftersom allt fler individer drabbas av åkomman. Osteoporos är en sjukdom som ökar med stigande ålder och framför allt drabbar kvinnor. Sjukdomen leder till ökad risk för fraktur (benbrott) och antalet osteoporosrelaterade frakturer har ökat markant under senaste halvan av 1900-tThis thesis considers the effect of physical activity on bone mass in weight-loaded and unloaded regions of the skeleton. Bone mass was measured by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and by Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS). In a cross-sectional study 67 male soccer-players, on different levels of the Swedish national league, were compared with 24 male controls. No differences were demonstrated between s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Urininkontinens är en utbredd folksjukdom och ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Omkring 500 000 människor i Sverige, mest kvinnor (2/3) är drabbade. Förekomsten av inkontinens ökar med stigande ålder. Ofrivilligt urinläckage orsakar många gånger både medicinska och sociala handikapp med minskad livskvalitet som följd. Undersökningar har visat att endast 25% av de inkontinentaDysfunction of the pelvic floor can lead to incontinence and different forms of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Urinary incontinence is a common problem and about 500 000 persons in Sweden, mostly (2/3) women, suffering from incontinence. The general aim of this thesis was to characterize the function and dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles in healthy and incontinent women. Vaginal EMG, p

STUDY QUESTIONDoes endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, diagnosed using the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group and the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group revised definitions, impact cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) after three consecutive IVF or ICSI treatments?SUMMARY ANSWERWomen with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, as diagnosed using transvaginal ultras

Background: Middle Eastern immigrants represent a growing population in Sweden today. This group are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes than the native population, but are also shown to exhibit unique properties; despite an abundance in traditional cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, dearranged blood lipids and diminished physical acitivity, this group seem to exhibit lower blood pressur

BACKGROUND: During the last 5 years, there has been an increase in the use of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to treat knee osteoarthritis in Australia, and these account for almost 6% of annual knee replacement procedures. However, there is debate as to whether a fixed bearing or a mobile bearing design is best for decreasing revision for loosening and disease progression as well as impr

Background: The T-peak-to-T-end ($\mathrm{T}_{pe}$) interval has shown potential in predicting ventricular arrhythmic risk. It is an appealing index to be measured during ischemia since it is less influenced by ST-segment changes than the early part of the T wave. A time-warping-based index, derived from a spat

Background: Free oxygen radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a naturally occurring enzyme which provides a defense against such oxidant injury. Providing supplementary SOD has been tested in clinical trials to prevent BPD in preterm infants. Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of SOD in

Idag finns det över 100 000 gode män eller förvaltare, sk ställföreträdare, i Sverige. En ställföreträdare kan utses för att sköta huvudmannens ekono-miska, rättsliga eller personliga angelägenheter. Förhållandet mellan huvud-mannen och ställföreträdrädaren betraktas som ett slags fullmaktsförhål-lande där ställföreträdaren utför ärenden åt huvudmannen mot viss betal-ning. Inom svensk politik har In Sweden, there are currently over 100,000 trustees and legal guardians, who can be appointed to handle a person’s financial, legal, and/or personal matters. The relationship between the individual and the trustee is considered a form of power of attorney for performing tasks for the person against some minor payment. Within swedish politics, there have been a lot of discussions about issues in t

I svensk rätt men även av Europadomstolen har det ansetts möjligt att tillmäta en tilltalads tystnad eller icke trovärdiga förklaring en för denne negativ bevis-verkan genom åläggandet av en förklaringsbörda. Uppsatsens syfte är att un-dersöka om denna förklaringsbörda i ljuset av bevisrättsliga principer samt rättspsykologisk forskning är lämplig att använda i brottmål. För att uppfylla syftet koIn Swedish law as well as by the European Court of Human Rights it has been considered possible to draw adverse inferences from a defendant’s si-lence or non-credible explanation by imposing a burden of explanation (förklaringsbörda). The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether this burden of explanation in light of principles of evidence law and forensic psy-chological research is appropr

Title of paper 1 INTRODUCTION Critical infrastructures and societal functions, such as transportation, telecommunications, health care and energy distribution, constitute the backbone of a modern society. These systems are also heavily in- terdependent, meaning that failures in a system does not stay isolated but can cascade to other systems Hence societal resources must be devoted to safe- guard
