Randomized clinical trials are the preferred study design to address key research questions about the benefits or harms of interventions. However, randomized trials of oxygen therapy are difficult to conduct and have limitations. The purpose of this article is to offer our view on the potential use of patient registries in the field of home oxygen in COPD as an alternative to randomized trials by

I Lund avslutas läkarutbildningens tionde termin med en MEQ-skrivning (Modified Essay Questions). Höstterminen 2002 hämtade vi bakgrundsmiljö och persongalleri till frågornas fallbeskrivningar från ett skönlitterärt verk. Initiativet föll väl ut hos studenterna – de tyckte att boken var bra och att upplägget var utmärkt. Också författaren var nöjd – efter vår »medikalisering« lärde han känna sina

BACKGROUND: The area of hospital readmission in older adults within 30 days of discharge is extensively researched but few studies look at the whole process. In this study we investigated risk factors related, not only to patient characteristics prior to and events during initial hospitalisation, but also to the processes of discharge, transition of care and follow-up. We aimed to identify patient

BackgroundMany patient organisations collaborate with drug companies, resulting in concerns about commercial agendas influencing patient advocacy.

Heterogeneity of asthma and difficulty in achieving optimal control are the major challenges in the management of asthma. To help attain the best possible clinical outcomes in patients with asthma, several guidelines provide recommendations for patients who will require a referral to a specialist. Such referrals can help in clearing the uncertainty from the initial diagnosis, provide tailored trea

The main objective of this work is the application of variational concepts to microscopic multiple particle systems (MPS) which are assigned to corresponding points of a macroscopic continuum. Due to this underlying micro-structure it is not sufficient to simulate the macroscopic behavior with pre-assumed (overall) material parameters, or rather constitutive-law-based standard methods. Therefore,
