Determination of heart status during dialysis can im- prove patient monitoring. Pressure sensors in the dialysis machine measures the heart pulses that propagates in the body and enter the extracorporeal blood circuit. A peri- staltic blood pump, located in the same circuit, introduces strong periodic pressure pulses that interfere with the much weaker cardiac component. These signal characteristi
There is limited knowledge of knee laxity in the long term after a complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear treated without ACL reconstruction. The aim of this study was (1) to describe the clinical course of knee laxity after a complete ACL tear over 15 years, and (2) to study the association between knee laxity and meniscal injuries and the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA). We studi

This paper elaborates theoretical and methodological aspects of design processes in a disability context and aims to relate them to other sciences. It particularly emphasizes situated aspects of research: the need for being there, with the users in their
In recent years, scientists have advocated the use of targeted therapies in the form of drugs that modulate genes and proteins that are directly associated with cancer progression and metastasis. Malignant melanoma is a dreadful cancer type that has been associated with the rapid dissemination of primary tumors to multiple sites, including bone, brain, liver and lungs. The discovery that approxima
Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric malignancies have substantially increased the number of childhood cancer survivors. However, reports suggest that some of the chemotherapy agents used for treatment can cross the blood brain barrier which may lead to a host of neurological symptoms including oculomotor dysfunction. Whether chemotherapy at young age causes oculomotor dysfunction
Diskuterar problem och möjligheter i Svenska kyrkans arbete med kultuarvsfrågor. Osynliggörandet av kyrkans immaterialla kulturarv lyfts fram tillsammans med en kritik av tendenser att även inom kyrkan återupprepa den åtskillnad mellan kultur och religion som återfinns redan i kulturarvsbegreppets historia.
Introduction Assessing work ability and sickness certification are considered problematic by many physicians and education and implementation of guidelines to improve knowledge and skills has been requested. Our aim was to study the association between such interventions and physicians' sick-listing practices. Methods A web-based questionnaire was sent to all physicians working in primary care, ps
