   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe quality of care from different perspectives in the psychiatric setting, to develop an instrument for measuring quality of care from the in-patient perspective and to use this instrument empirically. A qualitative descriptive design involving a phenomenographic analysis was used in Studies I, III and IV, and a descriptive and comparative design with statistical analysis in Study II. LÄS MER

3. 2. Impact of cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric multimorbidity on older adults' health

   Författare :Davide Liborio Vetrano; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Multimorbidity, the presence of two or more chronic diseases in one person, is common in older people, and associates with a number of negative outcomes. In this thesis, we propose a methodology to assess and measure multimorbidity in older individuals. LÄS MER

4. 3. Assessment and monitoring of nutritional status in chronic kidney disease patients

   Författare :Thiane Gama-Axelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often suffer from malnutrition and protein-energy wasting (PEW) resulting in poor nutritional status which is a powerful predictor of mortality. As it is not clear how well nutritional markers used in the clinical care of these patients accurately reflect nutritional status we evaluated in post-hoc, cross-sectional observational studies several common markers of malnutrition and PEW, and assessed their correlations to each other and to survival in patients with CKD stage 5 (CKD 5).

5. 4. Life satisfaction in late life: Markers and predictors of level and change among 80+ year olds

   Författare :Anne Ingeborg Berg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Life satisfaction; oldest-old; longitudinal design; health; social network; locus of control; depressive symptoms; personality;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the thesis was to examine within-individual and between-individual changes in life satisfaction in the oldest-old using different time metrics and to study life satisfaction within the context of psychosocial and health-related variables. Data were obtained from the Swedish OCTO-Twin Study of individuals aged 80 and older who were able to complete the Life Satisfaction Index-Z (LSI-Z). LÄS MER

7. 5. Exploring novel roles of metabolic enzymes MTHFD2 and PFKFB3 in cancer genome stability and their potential as anticancer therapeutic targets

   Författare :Nadilly Y Bonagas Villarreal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Altered tumor metabolism has been described as early as the 1920s, but it was only in recent decades that proteomic and metabolomic studies revealed that the ways in which tumors rewire their nutrient and energy pathways are more diverse and have more implications for treatment outcome than previously thought. There is now a great interest in characterizing promising metabolic targets and identifying novel ways by which to exploit them for cancer treatment. LÄS MER
