In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) for end-stage renal failure, the optimum electrolyte composition of a dialysis solution is that which best serves the homeostatic needs of the body. Comparing the transperitoneal removal of electrolytes by conventional PD solutions (CPDSs) with that by normal kidneys, it is evident that peritoneal removal is in the lower range of what can be consider
During bleeding the skin is subjected to oxidative insults from free heme and radicals, generated from extracellular hemoglobin. The lipocalin α(1)-microglobulin (A1M) was recently shown to have reductase properties, reducing heme-proteins and other substrates, and to scavenge heme and radicals. We investigated the expression and localization of A1M in skin and the possible role of A1M in the prot
This study prospectively examined the effects of a change of shift schedule from a fast forward-rotating schedule to a slowly backward-rotating one. The initial schedule had a forward rotation from mornings to afternoons to nights over 6 consecutive days, with 2 days on each shift followed by 4 days off before the next iteration of the cycle, whereas the new schedule had a slower backward rotation
Invandrares hälsa är sämre än totalbefolkningens. Jämlik hälsa är en nationell målsättning. Kan en hälsokommunikativ intervention påverka nyanlända flyktingars och invandrares hälsa? Denna artikel beskriver hur hälsokommunikatörsverksamheten etablerats, utvärderats och spridits. Forskningsprojektet IMHAd – Impact of Multicultural Health Advisors – har med hjälp av en longitudinell kohortstudie för

Carotenoids and vitamin C are thought to be associated with reduced cancer risk because of their antioxidative capacity.
It is known that human errors are the cause of most structural failures. Extreme loads or material deficiencies are normally of secondary importance. This Project has studied the human factor in the design phase; how subjective decisions, individual knowledge and the use of advance tools and codes affect structural safety and structural design. 17 Swedish structural engineers from the house-buildi
The objective was to study obesity and insulin resistance in relation to leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and occupational physical activity (OPA) in a Swedish population, with particular focus on sex differences. Using a cross-sectional design, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), glucose/insulin metabolism, blood pressure, heart rate, self-reported education, smoking, alcohol consump
