Behavioral disturbances are common in dementia. Polypharmacy due to progression of disease and fluctuation of symptoms among patients might increase risk of overtreatment and/or undertreatment. Drug prescription habits were studied in relationship to symptoms of dementia after relocation of patients to group-living care units (GC). Seventy-six demented patients (mean age 81 years) were assessed be

A search for a pair of neutral, scalar bosons with each decaying into two W bosons is presented using 36.1 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This search uses three production models: non-resonant and resonant Higgs boson pair production and resonant production of a pair of heavy scalar particles.

The morphology and function of the arteries can be directly measured using different established methods. This prospective cohort study aimed to translate 2 of these, aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) and carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT), into a combined Vascular Aging Index (VAI) and then evaluate the predictive power of aPWV, cIMT, and VAI. Patients (n = 2718) were included from the cardiov

Objective. Previous research has shown that elderly and disabled travelers using Special Transportation Services (STS) are injured without being involved in a vehicle crash. In order to estimate the true costs for these vehicle-related injuries, the focus needs to be adjusted towards an incident/traveler-oriented perspective. The aim of the project was thus to utilize such a perspective, in order

Objectives: To describe and evaluate the two-year outcome on cognition (MMSE, ADAS-cog) and global rating (CIBIC) of galantamine treatment in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in a routine clinical setting. Methods: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study (SATS) is an open, longitudinal, multicenter study evaluating cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment in AD. Patients are investigated at baseline, at 2

We examined the effects of low stretch compression bandaging (CB) alone or in combination with manual lymph drainage (MLD) in 38 female patients with arm lymphedema after treatment for breast cancer. After CB therapy for 2 weeks (Part I), the patients were allocated to either CB or CB + MLD for 1 week (Part II). Arm volume and subjective assessments of pain, heaviness and tension were measured. Th

Background Response to disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is often heterogeneous. We aimed to identify types of disease activity trajectories following the initiation of a new biologic DMARD (bDMARD). Methods Pooled analysis of nine national registries of patients with diagnosis of RA, who initiated Abatacept and had at least two measures of disease activit

Polychlorinated-biphenyls (PCBs) were introduced in the late 1920s and used until the 1970s when they were banned in most countries due to evidence of environmental build-up and possible adverse health effects. However they still persist in the environment, indoors and in humans. Indoor air in contaminated buildings may confer airborne exposure markedly above background regional PCB levels. To dat

Food trucks provide personalized experiences by eliminating anonymity and allowing the customer to slow down and engage. Their mobility facilitates transformation and a sense of occasion, thus possessing elements of performance, urgency and excitement. Having the ability to define spaces and revive locations, food trucks creates affiliative communities with natural meeting locations. The food truc

This thesis explores the name, naming and naming politics in three poetic texts which exhibit a concern with the normative force of language: Cristina Peri Rossi’s Evohé (1971), Julia Álvarez’ The Other Side/El otro lado (1995) and Ana Arzoumanian’s (2006) Juana I. In Evohé the woman-body and the woman-word collide and penetrate each other; in The Other Side/ El otro lado the English code conflict

Memory integration is how series of similar memories can merge into overlapping representations as one abstract model of behavior to anticipate present and future episodes – facilitating instrumental use of episodic experience for higher-order inferences. Previous research has showed that a novel memory of reward can travel backwards in time through episodic memory and generalize its contents to p

In persons born with myelomeningocele (MMC) secondaryprevention measures are important to survive and to retainfunction. Swedish guidelines in MMC have been developedand a follow-up programme is linked to a quality of care reg-istry, internet-based since 2012. The rationale for creation ofthis registry were to avoid complications in MMC by provid-ing a medical and health overview, facilitate the c

This essay investigates the impact of income inequality on economic growth in developed countries. The link is primarily investigated through the possible influence of income inequality on the four growth channels savings, human capital, population growth and labor force productivity. A theoretical model, based on an extended version of the Romer model, is presented, where a higher degree of incom

Små klimatfickor – stor betydelse Bin, fjärilar och blomflugor är inte bara vackra att titta på – de gör också ett av naturens viktigaste jobb. Genom att flytta pollen mellan blommor ser de till att många växter kan föröka sig. Det gäller både vilda arter och en stor del av de grödor som vi människor äter. Utan dessa pollinatörer skulle vår biologiska mångfald minska kraftigt, och även vår livsmePollinators are essential for biodiversity and ecosystem services but face growing threats from climate change. Microclimates may buffer these impacts by providing localized climatic refugia. I assessed community-level and body size-dependent responses of bees, butterflies, and hoverflies to microclimatic temperature, humidity, wind, and structural shelter in semi-natural grasslands in southern Sw

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has emerged as a versatile platform for whole-cell biocatalysis, owing to its intrinsic regeneration of cofactors and amenability to genetic engineering. However, efficient reductive amination of aromatic carbonyls remains challenging due to competing redox pathways and product inhibition by pyruvate. Building on the redox-rewired TMB4133 strain (∆gpd1,2) that accumulates

Introduction: Depression and anxiety are leading contributors to the global burden of disease among women yet help-seeking for mental health concerns remains limited in lower-middle-income countries. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and help-seeking behaviors, and to identify factors associated with the absence of help-seeking among ever-married women of reproduc
