This retrospective study sought to determine the safety and effectiveness of flecainide in children with normal hearts and those with congenital heart disease (CHD) or cardiomyopathy (CMO). Baseline and follow-up data at two pediatric cardiology sites were queried (2000–2015); a total of 175 patients (20 with CHD and two with CMO) receiving flecainide were assessed. When comparing patients with CH
The pancreases of approximately 50 days old diabetes-prone BB/Hagedorn (BB/H) and of the genetically closely related, but non-diabetic BB w-subline (control BB) rats were perfused to determine the capacity of D-glucose to release insulin before the expected development of diabetes. The BB/H rats were from a colony with 82-84% incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) by 140 days of a
As the world population is pushing toward 8 billion, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, representing 30% of all global deaths. A large body of work has recognized that smooth muscle cells (SMCs) surrounding the blood vessels play a prominent role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. SMCs are highly specialized cells with the main fu
This dissertation addresses the need for easier construction and extension of language tools. Specifically, the construction and extension of so-called semantic editors is considered, that is, editors providing semantic services for code comprehension and manipulation. Editors like these are typically found in state-of-the-art development environments, where they have been developed by hand. The

Introduction: Cardiotomy suction blood is used in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery to maintain blood volume in the CPB system, although it is known to contain micro emboli, cytokines and free plasma hemoglobin. Our aim was to investigate whether cell saver washing the cardiotomy suction blood before re-transfusing it is safe. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 1671 elective coronary art
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is effective and safe for adults with severe depression, but less studied in adolescents. Here, we examined the indications, prevalence, practice, response and remission rates, and side effects in young people treated with ECT in Sweden. We also examined the usage of ECT in the transition to adult psychiatry. Using data from national patient registers and the Swedis
Introduction: There is no definitive cure for Dupuytren disease (DD), and recurrence of finger contractures after treatment is common. Surgical fasciectomy is considered the standard treatment method for recurrence, although associated with a high incidence of complications. Collagenase injection, a non-surgical treatment option, has been shown to be a safe and effective method; however, most stud
Background: Interactions between Th1 and Th2 immune responses are of importance to the onset and development of allergic disorders. A Toll-like receptor 7 agonist such as AZD8848 may have potential as a treatment for allergic airway disease by skewing the immune system away from a Th2 profile. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intranasal AZD8848. Methods: In a placebo-controlled si
An external device ("the Rottometer") was especially designed to measure passive knee rotation in vivo. The device had earlier been evaluated with respect to it's validity and reliability. In the present study, we evaluated knee rotation in knee-healthy individuals and studied possible age and gender related differences. Measurements of total internal-external rotation were made at 90°, 60°, and 3
BACKGROUND: Higher operative risks after pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been reported after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or both. Patients who underwent pneumonectomy for NSCLC were evaluated for effect of neoadjuvant treatment on mortality and morbidity, especially bronchopleural fistula. METHODS: Between 1996 and 2003, 130 consecutive patients underwent pn
Under de senaste åren har terrorattentat i Kenya uppmärksammats och diskuterats. Efter 9/11 har Kenya blivit det land i Afrika som har klassats som en frontlinje för att bekämpa terrorismen tillsammans med USA. I samband med Kenyas terrorismbekämpning har handlingar mot somaliska flyktingar ifrågasatts och Human Rights Watch är en av de organisationer som har rapporterat om händelser under en långIn recent years, terror attacks in Kenya have been observed and discussed. After 9/11 Kenya has become the frontline of Africa, fighting terrorism alongside the United States. As a result of the fight against terrorism, questions regarding the treatment of Somalian refugees arise. Human Rights Watch is one of many organizations to rapport on such events for a period of time. With this in mind, the
The aim of this master thesis is to develop a laboratory process that Saab Ericsson Space AB (SE) can use to demonstrate their fault tolerant computer systems at exhibitions. The process is an inverted pendulum shaped as a rocket to symbolize that the company develops fault tolerant control systems for satellites and carrier rockets e.g. for Ariane 5.
The inverted pendulum is a classical
In today’s fast-paced society, working parents face increasing challenges in providing young children with engaging, developmentally beneficial activities while balancing their responsibilities and limited time. As a result, many parents rely on screens beyond recommended guidelines as a convenient way to occupy their children. However, research shows that excessive screen use is not ideal for chi
This qualitative study is about how individual supportive conversation between school welfare officers and pupils in upper secondary school is carried out. The major interest of the study was to explore the problems that school welfare officers have during forced or involuntary supportive conversations with pupils, and how those problems can be understood and solved with the concept of strategies.
Given the urgency of climate change, alternative energy sources, and policy strategies are needed to reach the net-zero emission goals and halt global warming. Solar thermal energy is a renewable and abundant energy source that could be a part of the solution. In this master’s thesis, the performance of a pilot solar thermal park in northern Sweden was modeled and evaluated based on an internation
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) occurs in about 20 % of patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites and is characterized by intensive renal vasoconstriction, low glomerular filtration rate but preserved tubular function and normal renal histology. The potential of terlipressin and albumin to reverse HRS after a time period of 14 days has already been shown. However, intravenous albumi
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health challenge with high morbidity and mortality despite advances in detection and treatment. Dietary polyphenols are secondary metabolites widely found in plant-derived foods and beverages, and have gained attention for their potential in CRC prevention and therapy due to their diverse biological activities.
