Aim: To explore whether high-level endurance training in early age has an influence on the arterial wall properties in young women. Methods: Forty-seven athletes (ATH) and 52 controls (CTR), all 17-25 years of age, were further divided into runners (RUN), whole-body endurance athletes (WBA), sedentary controls (SC) and normally active controls (AC). Two-dimensional ultrasound scanning of the carot
The performance of heritage takes place in prestigious institutions such as museums and archives, in officially sanctioned spaces such as jubilees and public monuments, but also in more mundane, ephemeral and banal cultural practices, such as the naming of phenomena, viewing exhibitions or walking in the countryside. This volume examines the performance of Nordic heritage and the shaping of the ve
The complement system is an essential effector of both innate and acquired immune responses. Due to its destructive potential, tight regulation is required. The contribution of complement has been associated with the pathogeneses in a wide range of diseases. In this thesis, aspects of complement activation were investigated in disorders characterized by thrombocytopenia.In papers I and II, clinica
Background: Hydroxyethyl starches have been withdrawn from the European market. In Sweden, dextran was the main colloid until 2000, when starches overtook the market. After the recent 6S-trial, it was suggested that dextran could be reinstituted, but concerns for greater coagulopathy, bleeding and anaphylaxis still remain. An experimental study from our department indicated that isovolemic substitBackground: Hydroxyethyl starches have been withdrawn from the European market.

This report is an inventory of the state of knowledge of ethical, social, and legal challenges related to artificial intelligence conducted within the Swedish Vinnova-funded project “Hållbar AI – AI Ethics and Sustainability”, led by Anna Felländer. Based on a review and mapping of reports and studies, a quantitative and bibliometric analysis, and in-depth analyses of the healt- care sector, the t
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes after fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (f-EVAR) in a tertiary European referral center. METHODS: All patients treated with commercially available custom-made f-EVAR between September 2002 and June 2007 were prospectively enrolled in a computerized database including co-morbidities and aneurysm morphology. Patients were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up c
I approach international development from an international relations perspective. To do so, I first review historical and current economic relationships between developed and developing countries. After confirming the existence of hidden value transfers flowing from low income to wealthy countries, I conduct a panel data analysis on 89 developing countries from 1985 to 2017. The main objective of
Den 27 oktober 2006 meddelade den engelska appellationsdomstolen (UK Court of Appeal) ett vägledande avgörande i de s.k. Aerotel/Macrossan-avgörandena. Domen relaterade till två mål som berörde tolkningen av det patenterbara området enligt sektion 1 (2) i den engelska patentlagen (Patent Act 1977), vilken motsvarar art. 52 i den Europeiska Patentkonventionen (EPC). Det första målet gällde ett isra
BackgroundStreptococcus pyogenes bacteremia is a severe condition with high mortality. Time to blood culture positivity (TTP) is known to predict the outcome in bacteremia with other pathogens. This study aimed to determine the association between TTP and outcome in S pyogenes bacteremia.MethodsThis retrospective observational cohort study comprised adults with S pyogenes bacteremia, identified th
There is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries. This cross-sectional survey study (n = 414), conducted in 18 Swedish municipalities, used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to examine: user experiences related to satisfaction with WT, as well as users’ expecta
Absorption chillers are energy saving, but low-capacity applications are not available yet. To become competitive with the established vapor-compression chillers, compact and inexpensive main component heat exchangers are required. In the respective capacity range, the conventionally used tube bundle heat exchangers can hardly fulfill that requirement - plate heat exchangers, however, could. The p
On the first of July, 2011, the Swedish government implemented a revised version of the ”Lex Sarah” legislation. The revision included a tougher approach to the legislated obligation to report mistreatment in for instance the elderly care. The aim of the study was to compare four municipalities in Sweden and how they related to each other in the number and type of mistreatment reports. We also loo
