Introduction: After extensive pelvic surgery for cancer two flap types are used at Skåne University Hospital (SUS), Sweden for perineal reconstruction: vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap and gluteal flap with or without vaginal reconstruction. The objective was to study the long-term outcomes in patients treated for advanced pelvic cancer receiving a flap. Method: Patients with pelvic can
Data on the impact of long term treatment with immunomodulatory drugs (IMiD) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is limited. The HOVON-87/NMSG18 study was a randomized, phase 3 study in newly diagnosed transplant ineligible patients with multiple myeloma, comparing melphalan-prednisolone in combination with thalidomide or lenalidomide, followed by maintenance therapy until progression (MPT-T
In a Swedish brass band a program for change was pursued which aimed to improve the artistic level of playing of the ensemble without replacing less competent members. At the time for the study the band comprised 34 members, four of whom were female. The research question was: How does community and group coherence interact with the goal to improve the musical standard in an amateur brass band? T
Lung scintigraphy is the primary tool for diagnostics of pulmonary embolism. A perfusion study is often complemented by a ventilation study. Intermediate probability scans are frequent. Our goal was to develop a fast method for tomographic ventilation and perfusion scintigraphy to improve the diagnostic value of lung scintigraphy. METHODS: SPECT was performed with a dual-head gamma camera. Acquisi
As the contribution of dispersed or distributed energy resources (DER) to the electric power production increases, the effects on the power system grow more important. As an example a critical situation may arise if protective relays trip a large part of the dispersed generation due to undervoltage at a short-circuit event. On the other hand it is crucial that the protection system acts correctly
Prediction of wound healing and major amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulceration is clinically important to stratify risk and target interventions for limb salvage. No consensus exists as to which measure of peripheral artery disease (PAD) can best predict outcomes. To evaluate the prognostic utility of index PAD measures for the prediction of healing and/ or major amputation among patie
The outcome of management of diabetic foot ulcers remains a challenge and there remains continuing uncertainty concerning optimal approaches to management. It is for these reasons that in 2008 and 2012 the International Working Group of the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) working group on wound healing published systematic reviews of the evidence to inform protocols for routine care and to highlight areas w
Background: Alcohol use disorders (AUD) involving hazardous, harmful, and addictive misuse of alcohol are widespread in most parts of the world. The aim of this study was to review the effect of disulfiram in the treatment of patients with AUD. The effect of disulfiram was evaluated according to the primary outcome of an intake of alcohol below 30 and 20 g/d for men and women, respectively, as we

Popular Abstract in Swedish Magnetisk resonanstomografi: Patienters upplevelser och betydelsen av anpassad information och förberedelse för vuxna och barn. Magnetisk resonanstomografi (MRT) har sedan tidigt 1980-tal ökat i betydelse och är idag en vanlig undersökning för både vuxna och barn. Undersökningen innebär att patienten ligger i en smal tunnel i magnetkameran och när bilderna tas hörs kraMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming an increasingly common form of exami¬nation for both adults and children. Although it is non-invasive and considered painless, both adults and children experience anxiety during the examination. The technique is sensitive to motion and for that reason many children are anaesthetised. The aim of this thesis was to improve patient care through exploring a

En fastighetsaffär är för många privatpersoner den överlägset största affären de gör i hela livet. Varje år säljs och köps småhus för över 124 miljarder. En undersökning från Länsförsäkringar visar att en tredjedel av alla köpare oroar sig för förekomsten av ”dolda fel” i den köpta fastigheten. Mot bakgrund av den oron är det inte så konstigt att konsumentrådgivningar och liknande organisationer fA real estate transaction is for many individuals by far the largest transaction they make throughout life. Each year, sold and bought houses makes up for a value of more than 124 billion SEK. A survey, by the insurance company Länsförsäkringar, shows that one third of all buyers are concerned about the existence of "latent defects" in the purchased property. Given the turmoil, it is not
Increasing extreme heat events in the tropics are creating dangerous environments in schools. There are limited data, however, on the extent of extreme heat in such classrooms and effective heat-mitigation strategies. This study presents the first long-term analysis of classroom temperatures in Ghanaian schools, measuring conditions in 16 classrooms in Accra over 389 days. It highlights the condit
I proposition 2025/26:246 föreslår regeringen att straffbarhetsåldern ska sänkas till 13 år för vissa allvarliga brott. Förslaget innebär att barn i 13–14-årsåldern ska kunna dömas till fängelse. Reformen motiveras huvudsakligen av den ökade gängrelaterade brottsligheten och att allt yngre barn involveras i grova våldsbrott. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera om lagförslaget om fängelse för barIn Government Bill 2025/26:246, the Swedish Government proposes lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 13 for certain serious offences. The proposal would allow children aged 13–14 to be sentenced to imprisonment. The reform is primarily justified by the increase in gang-related crime and the involvement of increasingly younger children in serious violent offences. The purpose of this thes
Working distributed is increasingly important today with technology being more and more portable while connectivity is still lacking in some areas. Cellphones and laptops are increasingly in use outside the office with connectivity to internal office services being unreliable, either due to lacking speed or inability to have a connection. Different solutions exist. One is a client-server setup wh
Sociologisk forskning beskriver samtiden som ett senmodernt samhällstillstånd, som kännetecknas av snabb förändring, individualisering, globalisering och osäkerhet inför framtiden. Ett av rättens syften är att påverka människors beteenden, vilket kanske tydligast manifesteras genom straffrätten. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur straffrättens mål att påverka normer och styra beteenden tar form i Sociological research describes contemporary society as a condition of late modernity, characterized by rapid change, individualisation, globalisation, and uncertainty about the future. One of the purposes of law is to influence human behaviour, insofar as this is possible. A function that is perhaps most evidently manifested through criminal law. This thesis examines how criminal law’s aim to sha
Background The shortage of surgeons, anaesthesiologists and obstetricians in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) is occasionally bridged by foreign surgical teams from high-income countries on short-term visits. To advise on ethical guidelines for such activities, the aim of this study was to present LMIC stakeholders' perceptions of visiting surgical teams from high-income countries. M
Dysregulation of sleep heightens pain sensitivity and may contribute to pain chronification. Interventions which consolidate and lengthen sleep have the potential to improve pain control. The main objective of this systematic review was to examine the effects of sleep-promoting pharmacotherapy on pain intensity in patients with chronic pain. Multiple electronic databases were searched from incepti
Purpose - One current trend in burner technology is to obtain high efficiency while keeping low levels of NOx emissions. A swirling flow in combustion ensures a fixed position of a compact flame. Therefore, it is necessary to design efficient swirlers. Flow patterns are simulated for the different swirl devices proposed in this work. Two axial-swirlers are studied: one based on curve-vanes consist
