Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetesfoten - Samhällsekonomiska kostnader, hälsoekonomiska aspekter, prevention och livskvalitet Orsak och förekomst. Fotsår är en relativt vanlig komplikation hos personer med diabetes. Ungefär 15% av alla vuxna diabetiker drabbas någon gång av fotsår. Orsakerna till att sår uppstår beror på en ökad risk för nervskador och kärlproblem hos diabetiker. Nervskadorna yThe overall aims were to investigate the economic consequences of foot complications in diabetic patients, to measure the influence of diabetic foot complications on health-related quality of life (HRQL), and to analyse the cost-effectiveness of interventions to prevent foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations (LEA). The economic consequences of foot ulcers and LEA are large both in a short an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer är en komplex och heterogen sjukdom där celler har börjat växa okontrollerat och denna sjukdom är idag ett stort hälsoproblem. På grund av diffusa symptom upptäcks cancern ofta i ett sent stadium. Otillräcklig kunskap om olika fenotyper hindrar utvecklingen av riktad behandling och patienter svarar därför väldigt olika på en given behandling. Denna avhandling ärCancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease where cells have started to grow uncontrolled and this disease remains a major health problem. Because of diffuse symptoms it often presents at a late stage. Insufficient understanding of the different phenotypes hinders the development of targeted therapeutics and consequently patients show a diverse range of responses to a given treatment. This thes

Milk is a dilute aqueous dispersion with a complex mixture of proteins, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Milk membrane lipids are a part of the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), which covers the fat globules. During dairy processing membrane material is released and surface structure features are altered. The presence of free membrane material as well as various surfaces might influence

Abstract in Uncoded languages achtergrond De incidentie van schizofrenie bij migranten lijkt verhoogd. doel Kwantificeren van het risico op schizofrenie bij migratie. methode Meta-analyse van Engelstalige publicaties over incidentieonderzoeken uit de periode 1977-2003. resultaten Het gemiddelde, gewogen relatieve risico (rr) van schizofrenie was 2,7 (95%- betrouwbaarheidsinterval (bi) 2,3-3,2) voobackground There is evidence of an increased incidence of schizophrenia in immigrants. aim To provide a quantitative index of the effect size associated with immigration. method We performed a meta-analysis of English-language incidence studies that were published between 1977 and 2003. results The mean, weighted relative risk (rr) was 2.7 (95%- confidence interval (ci) 2.3- 3.2) for first-generat

In this thesis we perform phenomenological studies of Quantum Chromodynamics, as manifested in deeply inelastic electron-proton (DIS) and high-energy hadron-hadron interactions. Most of the results are obtained using the Linked Dipole Chain model (LDC). This model was originally developed for studies of DIS and is formulated in terms of kT-factorization and un-integrated parton distribution funct

A longitudinal study was initiated in a PVC production plant in 1967. It was repeated in 1987. A cohort of 101 workers was followed. The aim of the 1967 study was, after a heavy rise in absenteeism and sick leave, to analyze perceptions of work environment and health. The aim of the second study was to investigate possible health effects of the workers after the change of threshold limit value, TL

The paper reports on the experimental realization on the possibility of isolating ions in a selected frequency channel. In the scheme, this interaction is mediated by the change in permanent dipole moment experienced by the rare-earth ions when they are optically excited from the ground state to an excited state. The change in dipole moment changes the electric field experienced by ions situated c
