To compare the effectiveness of individual support, group rehabilitation and a combination of the two in improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and psychological well-being in cancer patients during 24 months after diagnosis, as compared with standard care (SC). Furthermore, to compare the study sample and a random sample of the Swedish population with regard to HRQOL. A total of 481 con
Previous research suggests that having schizophrenia involves not being fully equipped to engage in daily occupations. This study was aimed at exploring relationships between occupational engagement and the issues of self-related variables, psychiatric symptoms, and quality of life. Seventy-four outpatients with schizophrenia entered the study. Instruments used in this study were Profile of Occupa
Routine monitoring of the quality of stroke care is becoming increasingly important since patient outcomes could be improved with better access to proven treatments. It remains unclear how many countries have established a national registry for monitoring stroke care.
Objective Endoscopic pituitary surgery has shown favorable clinical outcomes. Less is known about the impact of surgical approaches on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work capacity. The present study was undertaken to compare transsphenoidal microscope-assisted surgery with endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery regarding preoperative and surgical factors for the final outcome of HRQoL and
Study region: Karkheh Dam Reservoir (KDR) located in western Iran. Study focus: To date, there has been no research in the KDR that investigates the interconnections among thermal stratification (ThS), water quality, and nutrients, based on field measurements. This study explored the temporal trend of ThS in the KDR and its interrelationship with water quality parameters based on data measured fro
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an educational palliative care intervention improved the quality of life for next of kin to older persons in nursing homes. Methods: Altogether, 90 next of kin in the intervention group and 105 next of kin in the control group were included. Data were collected using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, answered before and 3 months after the int
We evaluated the association between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subtypes and quality of life (QoL) in 219 newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease (PD) patients without dementia. Participants completed neuropsychological tests of attention, executive function, visuospatial function, memory, and language, and reported QoL using the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire. Impairments were most common in
In estuarine ports, ballast water operations can be affected by short-term changes in water quality, especially when suspended sediment concentrations increase. This thesis assesses turbidity-related water-quality conditions relevant to ballast water operations in the Port of Hamburg, focusing on Seemannshöft during 2018–2024. Because direct total suspended solids (TSS) measurements were limited,
Bakgrund: Tidig diagnos och behandling av bröstcancer-relaterade lymfödem(BCRL) är viktigt för att förhindra försämring och påverkan på livskvalitet. Vidmindre BCRL i arm, kan det ansamlas lymfvätska lokalt i den ytliga vävnaden, utan en volymökning. Tissue Dielectric Constant (TDC), är en metod som mäter lokal vävnadsvätska i hud och subkutan vävnad och hade inte använts tidigare för att diagnostBackground: Early diagnosis and treatment of Breast Cancer-RelatedLymphedema (BCRL) are important to prevent lymphedema progress and impacton Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL).

Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism. While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been described in detail for many Gram-positive pathogens, little research has been carried out with SBSEC in this

Aim: An increasing number of patients survive rectal cancer, resulting in more patients living with the side-effects of the treatment. Exploring quality of life before and after treatment enables follow-up and additional treatment to be adjusted to the patient's needs. The aim of the study was to describe the quality of life during the 24 months following diagnosis and to identify risk factors for
Purpose: Psychological resilience appears to be an important influencing factor in various aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a context of adversity, eg, being informed of a cancer diagnosis. The purpose was to investigate psychological resilience and HRQoL in Swedish women with newly diagnosed breast cancer in relation to demographic and clinicopathological characteristics. Meth
This work aims at studying photoionization dynamics from atoms and surfaces at attose time scales. The work was based on development and applications of a high repetition rate High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) light source that utilizes Optical Parametric Amplification (OPA) laser technology. The laser system delivers few-cycle pulses in the near infrared (IR) at a repetition rate of 200 kHz.

The quantitative interpretation of hip cartilage magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been limited by the difficulty of identifying and delineating the cartilage in a three-dimensional (3D) dataset, thereby reducing its routine usage. In this paper a solution is suggested by unfolding the cartilage to planar two-dimensional (2D) maps on which both morphology and biochemical degeneration patterns c
