Background: Breathlessness is a troublesome and prevalent symptom in the population, but knowledge of related factors is scarce. The aim of this study was to identify the factors most strongly associated with breathlessness in the general population and to describe the shapes of the associations between the main factors and breathlessness.Methods: a cross-sectional analysis of the multicentre popu
Background: Optimal oxygen targets in patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest are uncertain. The primary aim of this study was to describe the values of partial pressure of oxygen values (PaO2) and the episodes of hypoxemia and hyperoxemia occurring within the first 72 h of mechanical ventilation in out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. The secondary aim was to evaluate the associatio
BACKGROUND: Long-term oxygen supplementation for at least 15 hours per day prolongs survival among patients with severe hypoxemia. On the basis of a nonrandomized comparison, long-term oxygen therapy has been recommended to be used for 24 hours per day, a more burdensome regimen.METHODS: To test the hypothesis that long-term oxygen therapy used for 24 hours per day does not result in a lower risk
The aim of the present paper is to explore the interrelated and complex relationships between religionsvetenskap (Religious Studies), religionskunskap (Religious Education) and religionsdidaktik (Religion and Education). After briefly outlining the concurrent developments of Religious Studies as a university discipline and Religion and Eudcation as a non-confessional school subject, both of which
Background: Symptoms have been identified as a core outcome domain for atopic eczema (AE) trials. Various instruments exist to measure symptoms in AE, but they vary in quality and there is a lack of standardization between clinical trials. Our objective was to systematically evaluate the quality of the evidence on the measurement properties of AE symptom instruments, thereby informing consensus di
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är en utbredd uppfattning att gränserna mellan högkulturen och masskulturen blivit mindre skarpa i vår postmoderna kultur. Den höga litteraturen lånar friskt former, motiv och grepp från masskulturen – och viceversa. Hur skall man tolka den estetiska trafiken mellan kulturella sfärer – höga respektive låga – som länge ansetts oförenliga? Vad består trafiken av och The Struggle for High and Low Culture. Studies in the Late Twentieth Century Novel’s Relationship to Mass Culture and Modernity. It is a widespread opinion that the boundaries between high culture and mass culture have become less defined in our postmodern culture. How is the aesthetic exchange to be interpreted between cultural spheres – high and low respectively – long considered incompatible?
Diffusion of medical technology and the growing proportion of elderly people in the population are generally regarded as major contributors to the increasing health care expenditure in the industrialised world. This study explores the importance of one specific factor in this process, the change in the use of technology among elderly patients. In some instances, a new technology is first used amon
A way to determine the depth of an embedded fluorescent object, for example deep-lying tumors marked with a fluorescent probe, is to detect fluorescent light that has propagated through the medium at two different wavelength bands. A ratio can then be calculated between the corresponding intensities. The wavelength regions should be chosen such that there is a difference in the absorption in the m
Twenty years after Vassar College welcomed the first American female undergraduates in 1865, the experiences of women college students began to be fictionalized in so-called college stories. This thesis shows how higher education is presented in the novels, collections of short stories, and serialized stories for female readers published before the United States was involved in the First World Wa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Från 1865 och framåt öppnades i nordöstra U.S.A ett antal college där unga kvinnor kunde avlägga en icke yrkesinriktad akademisk examen. Efter några decennier använde några som utexaminerats från dessa institutioner sina erfarenheter i populära berättelser om studenter på college. Avhandlingen visar hur denna utbildning presenteras i skönlitterär form. Fokus ligger på Twenty years after Vassar College welcomed the first American female undergraduates in 1865, the experiences of women college students began to be fictionalized in so-called college stories. This thesis shows how higher education is presented in the novels, collections of short stories, and serialized stories for female readers published before the United States was involved in the First World Wa
BACKGROUND: Prediction models for sentinel lymph node (SLN) status could potentially substitute surgical axillary staging in patients with early breast cancer. Several imaging modalities have been used with various feature extraction and selection approaches. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate prediction models for SLN status based on breast imaging in patients with early b
Fungal necromass is increasingly recognized as a major component of soil organic matter, and identifying the factors that govern its formation is critical for understanding and predicting the global carbon cycle. Among these factors, the biochemical composition of mycelial residues at senescence, particularly melanin content, has been consistently identified as a key determinant of the fraction of
Background and Objectives Postanoxic electrographic status epilepticus (PSE) affects up to a third of all comatose patients after cardiac arrest (CA) and is associated with high mortality. Late PSE onset (>24 hours), from a restored continuous background pattern, and absence of established indicators of poor outcome at multimodal prognostication are described in survivors. We aimed to determine th
The incidence of melanoma is rising, increasing the need for efficient diagnostics. Excisional biopsy and histopathology remain the “gold standard” but often require multiple surgical incisions due to limitations in making a visual assessment of melanoma borders either by eye or using dermatoscopy. This challenge partly arises from the inability to non-invasively produce the necessary spectral con
Hormone secretion from pancreatic islets is essential for glucose homeostasis and loss or dysfunction of islet cells is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes. Maf transcription factors are critical for establishing and maintaining adult endocrine cell function. However, during pancreas development, MafB is not only expressed in insulin- and glucagon-producing cells, but also Neurog3+ endocrine progenitor
How the avian sex chromosomes first evolved from autosomes remains elusive as 100 million years (My) of divergence and degeneration obscure their evolutionary history. The Sylvioidea group of songbirds is interesting for understanding avian sex chromosome evolution because a chromosome fusion event ∼24 Ma formed "neo-sex chromosomes" consisting of an added (new) and an ancestral (old) part. Here,
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
INTRODUCTION: Central venous catheterisation is a common procedure in intensive care therapy and the use of central venous catheters is essential for treatment of many medical disorders. Although rare, central venous catheterisation is associated with mechanical complications that can be life-threatening if untreated. Real-time ultrasound guidance reduces the incidence of mechanical complications
Background: Funding models influence provision and development of palliative care services. As palliative care integrates into mainstream health care provision, opportunities to develop funding mechanisms arise. However, little has been reported on what funding models exist or how we can learn from them. Aim: To assess national models and methods for financing and reimbursing palliative care. Desi
