BackgroundIt is a common ethical challenge for ambulance clinicians to care for patients with impaired decision-making capacities while assessing and determining the degree of decision-making ability and considering ethical values. Ambulance clinicians’ ethical competence seems to be increasingly important in coping with such varied ethical dilemmas. Ethics rounds is a model designed to promote th
Objective: The primary aim was to identify radiomics ultrasound features that can distinguish between benign and malignant adnexal masses with solid ultrasound morphology, and between primary malignant (including borderline and primary invasive) and metastatic solid ovarian masses, and to develop ultrasound-based machine learning models that include radiomics features to discriminate between benig
Background: Troponin elevation is frequently observed in various scenarios in the Emergency Department (ED), yet there is a paucity of studies investigating simultaneously measured high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and troponin I (hs-cTnI) within a diverse cohort in a clinical setting. Methods: All patients who underwent troponin testing at a single center were eligible for this study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the 1986-1994 trend in obesity, overweight and sedentary leisure-time physical activity status, and the educational gradient in overweight and obesity in the city of Malmö, Sweden. Material/Methods: The public health surveys in Malmö 1986 and 1994 are cross-sectional studies. A total of 4,800 and 5,600 individuals aged 20–80 years were randoml
BACKGROUND: It is well-known that infectious complications after central venous catheterisation are associated with increased mortality, length of hospital stay and costs. However, there are limited data regarding such associations for immediate insertion-related complications. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether major immediate insertion-related complications are associate
BACKGROUND: /st>The relative respiratory effects of fentanyl and remifentanil, administered as i.v. bolus, have not previously been studied. We determined what remifentanil bolus dose gave the same maximum depression of ventilation as 1 µg kg(-1) of fentanyl. METHODS: /st>Twelve healthy volunteers rebreathed in a system designed to dampen variations in end-tidal carbon dioxide tension so that me
Context:TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHomas) are rare. Epidemiological data are scant and there are no reports on national incidence.Objective:The objective of the study was to estimate the national Swedish incidence and prevalence of TSHomas.Design:This was an observational study.Setting:The study was conducted at tertiary referral centers.Patients:The Swedish Pituitary Registry and World H
The perforated patch whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique was applied to superficial cells in intact mouse pancreatic islets. Three types of electrical activity were observed corresponding to alpha-, beta- and delta-cells. The delta-cells were electrically active in the presence of glucose but lacked the oscillatory pattern seen in the beta-cells. By contrast, the alpha-cells were
INTRODUCTION: This investigation aimed to evaluate thrombotic risk factors in children, with special reference to autoantibodies against prothrombin and protein S. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 57 consecutive Swedish children and adolescents referred with a radiologically confirmed acute thrombotic event. Clinical data were collected and a thrombophilia investigation was performed, including a
Background: Results of previous studies regarding pelvic sepsis after Hartmann’s procedure (HP) for rectal cancer have been inconsistent and few studies report the risk factors. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of pelvic sepsis after HP, identify risk factors and describe when as well as how pelvic sepsis was diagnosed and treated. Methods: Data were collected from the Swedish Colorec
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda om det finns motsättningar mellan den aktiebolagsrättsliga vinstmaximeringsprincipen och de krav som ställs på vårdgivare utifrån lagstiftning som ska skydda patienters och vårdtagares intressen. Vidare är syftet att undersöka vilken utformning av lagstiftningen som är lämplig och diskutera detta ur ett rättsekonomiskt perspektiv. Vinster i välfärden är en kontrThe purpose of this paper is to investigate whether there are conflicts between the principle of profit maximization in company law and the demands placed on caregivers based on legislation that protects patients and care receivers' interests. Furthermore, the purpose is to examine the design of the legislation and discuss this from a law and economics perspective. Profits that originate from
Yrket som socialsekreterare är ett krävande och psykisk påfrestande jobb. Studier visar att socialsekreterare använder överlevnadsstrategier som riskerar hälsan och kvaliteten i deras arbete, som exempelvis valet att simplifiera deras arbete och skippa arbetsuppgifter. Det visar sig vara utmanande för socialsekreterare att genomföra jobbet på ett tillfredsställande sätt och de tvingas arbeta övertThe profession of social work is a demanding and mentally taxing job. Studies show that social workers use survival strategies that put their health and quality of work at risk, such as the choice to simplify their work and skip tasks. It has been proved that social workers find it challenging to perform their jobs satisfactorily and are often required to work overtime. The Swedish Work Environmen
Sedan den 1 juli 2018 bygger den svenska sexualbrottslagstiftningen på avsaknad av frivillighet istället för förekomsten av våld, hot eller en särskilt utsatt situation. Till följd av ändringarna tillkom även ett nytt brott i brottsbalken (1962:700) – oaktsam våldtäkt. Syftet var att sända ett normativt budskap och understryka varje människas rätt till sexuell integritet och sexuellt självbestämmaSince 1 July 2018, the Swedish sexual offences legislation is based on the absence of voluntariness instead of the presence of violence, threats or a particularly vulnerable situation. As a result of the amendments, a new offence was added to the Criminal Code (1962:700) – negligent rape. The aim was to send a normative message and emphasise the right of every person to sexual integrity and sexual
Gröna områden i städer, så som parker, alléer och trädgårdar, är mycket mer än bara en trevlig och grön kontrast till den gråa stadsmiljön. De bidrar med flera saker vi ofta tar förgivet i Sverige, bland annat frisk luft, skugga under varma sommardagar och platser för lek såväl som avslapp ning. Tillsammans kallas dessa nyttor för ekosystemtjänster, vilka är livsnödvändiga för oss män niskor såvUrban green spaces provide important ecosystem services that support human well-being and climate adaptation in cities. As urbanisation and densification increases, municipalities face chal lenges in promoting and safeguarding these areas. This study investigates the current methods and tools used by municipalities in southern Sweden to assess urban green spaces with regard to ecosystem service

Purpose: In a multicenter prospective cohort study, we assessed the diagnostic yield of the Nordic guidelines for germline investigation in myeloid neoplasms and mapped the spectrum of inherited and somatic variants. Experimental Design: Eighty-five patients (acute myeloid leukemia, n = 38; myelodysplastic syndromes, n = 26; thrombocytopenia, n = 14; and other, n = 7) fulfilling the Nordic criteri
Background: Patients with reduced renal function may be at risk of contrast medium-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) following intravenous iodine contrast medium (CM) enhanced computed tomography (CT). Reducing the CM dose may reduce this risk. Decreasing the X-ray tube potential (kilovoltage, kV) from commonly used 120 to 80 kV results in higher CM attenuation due to the photoelectric properti
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor knockout (KO) mice are tools for studying GIP physiology. Previous results have demonstrated that these mice have impaired insulin response to oral glucose. In this study, we examined the insulin response to intravenous glucose by measuring glucose, insulin and C-peptide after intravenous glucose (0.35 g/kg) in 5-h fasted female GIP recep
