Objectives: A recent study of acute stroke patients in England and Wales revealed several patterns of temporal variation in quality of care. We hypothesized that similar patterns would be present in Sweden and aimed to describe these patterns. Additionally, we aimed to investigate whether hospital type conferred resilience against temporal variation. Materials and Methods: We conducted this nation

The effects of flunarizine, a calcium entry blocker, were evaluated in a long-term survival model of ischemia in rats. One group of animals received the drug orally at 24 and 4 h prior to the insult (40 mg·kg-1·dose-1). Another group was given flunarizine following the insult, intravenously at 5 min (0.1 mg·kg-1), and orally at 8 and 24 h (40 mg·kg-1·dose-1). A third group received the solvent for

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly seeing use in breast imaging, particularly to assist in or automate the reading of mammograms. Another novel technique is mechanical imaging (MI) which estimates the relative stiffness of suspicious breast abnormalities by measuring the distribution of pressure on the compressed breast. This study investigates the feasibility of combining

Background: Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are chronic conditions where relational continuity of care, as in regularly meeting the same health care provider, creates opportunities for monitoring and adjustment of treatment based on an individual's changing needs, potentially affecting quality of delivered care. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effec

Bone sarcoma are infrequent diseases, representing < 0.2% of all adult neoplasms. A multidisciplinary management within reference centers for sarcoma, with discussion of the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies within an expert multidisciplinary tumour board, is essential for these patients, given its heterogeneity and low frequency. This approach leads to an improvement in patient's outcome, as

Postoperative morbidity after hysterectomy was studied prospectively in 229 consecutive patients in our departments. The incidence of alcohol abuse (> or = 60 gm of alcohol daily) and moderate drinking (between 25 and 60 gm of alcohol daily) was 6.5% for each. When compared with the moderate drinkers and the control group, the alcohol abusers developed significantly more complications (80% versus

Acquisition of irregular verb forms in L2 French: does the L1 of the learners explain the difference ? This study explores L1 effects on the production of subject-verb agreement in number (singular vs. plural) in L2 French. L1 influence has rarely been explored in detail in this context, especially compared to other factors such as input frequency of specific verb forms, singular vs plural entitie

År 2014 skärptes straffskalan för mord genom att möjligheten att utdöma fängelse på livstid utvidgades. Genom lagändringen har livstidstraffets legitimitet och funktion blivit en fråga som i än högre grad än tidigare förtjänar att uppmärksammas. Syftet för detta arbete är därför att kritiskt granska livstidsstraffet i svensk rätt ur ett straffideologiskt perspektiv. Närmare bestämt avses att besvaIn 2014 the sentencing range for murder was changed in order to increase the use of life sentence for murder. Thus the legitimacy of life imprisonment has become an even more relevant question than before the amendment. The aim of this paper is to examine the life imprisonment in Swedish law through a critical point of view. More specifically the main question for this essay is which are the argum

Utländska offentliga pensionsinstitut som får utdelningar från svenska företag beskattas i Sverige med kupongskatt på upp till 30 procent av utdelningens bruttobelopp. De inhemska motsvarigheterna, AP-fonderna, är statliga myndigheter och omfattas av statens skattebefrielse enligt inkomstskattelagen. Denna skillnad i beskattning av utdelningar har gett upphov till ett fördragsbrottsärende mot SverForeign public pension funds receiving dividends from Swedish companies are in Sweden subject to withholding tax of up to 30 percent of the gross amount of the dividends. The domestic equivalents, the Swedish governmental pension funds, the AP-funds, are exempt from income tax as they are a part of the Swedish state. This difference in taxation has given rise to infringement proceedings against Sw
