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

To achieve high thermal efficiencies, 30 percent and higher, for small gas turbines a recuperator is mandatory. As the recuperator represents 25–30 percent of the overall machine cost, efforts are now being focused on establishing new low-cost recuperator concepts for gas turbine engines. In this paper the cross corrugated (CC), also called chevron pattern, heat transfer surface is reviewed to ass

Groundwater stored in alluvial fan aquifers represents a key water resource in semi-arid mountainous regions, yet groundwater recharge mechanisms and flow dynamics remain poorly understood, particularly in data-scarce regions experiencing increasing water demand and anthropogenic pressure. This study investigates groundwater recharge processes and flow patterns in three adjacent watersheds of the

To illustrate the importance of biomechanical impact on tissue health within the central nervous system (CNS), we herein describe an in vitro model of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in which disruption and restoration of physical tissue support can be studied in isolation.

BACKGROUND: The extent of site and tissue-associated immune privilege is of great interest in transplantation experiments involving the CNS. In the present paper we have explored neuroretinal immune privilege by transplantation to a non-immune privileged site. METHODS: Fetal and adult full-thickness rabbit neuroretinal grafts were placed in the subconjunctival space of immunocompetent rabbit hosts

In Sweden 1600 patients/year survive cardiac arrest (30-day survival). Post-resuscitation care is complex and aims to stabilize organ function with focus on preventing secondary brain injury. In 2021 The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) published joint guidelines on post-resuscitation care. In this article the Swedish Resuscitation Counci

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

Patenträtten har till syfte att främja samhällets industriella utveckling och lagstiftaren vill locka till forskning genom erbjuda uppfinnaren ensamrätt att tillgodogöra sig uppfinningen kommersiellt. För att en uppfinning skall vara patenterbar ställs ett antal krav. Ett utav detta krav är att uppfinningen inte får vara känd sedan tidigare. Med känd menas allt som gjorts tillgängligt för allmänhe

This study examines the Swedish foreign policy doctrine of non-alignment in relation to the Swedish participation in the common EU foreign and security policy, in order to answer the question if there is a conflict between these two foreign policy roles and to describe that potential conflict. A process tracking has been conducted. The tracking consists of two parts. The development of the Swedish

Det går inte att bortse från den stora efterfråga som idag råder gällande ny utveckling av metoder för att ersätta icke förnybara material (så som stål och betong exempelvis) med förnybara material (såsom trä) i lastbärande konstruktioner. Trä som material har en del nackdelar och det är just dessa man skulle vilja eliminera eller begränsa för att nå fram till ett material med minimal påverkan för

En av EU:s grundläggande principer är den fria rörligheten för personer som även ska gälla för familjemedlemmar. Då varje medlemsstats familjerättsliga lagreglering omfattas av begreppet skydd för den nationella identiteten, befinner sig området utanför EU:s lagstiftningskompetens. Harmonisering av medlemsstaternas nationella lagstiftningar i frågan är därför inte aktuellt då det medför en begränsFree movement of persons is one of the fundamental principles of the EU, which also applies to members of the family. The family law is governed nationally to preserve the national identity; therefore, it is outside of EU’s legislative competence. The harmonisation of the national legislation in question, therefore, is not appropriate as it implies a limitation on a state’s national identity. The
