1. Bringing home animals : Final-stage Jomon and Okhotsk Culture food technologies
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, organic residues preserved in ancient pottery are used to reconstruct diversity andchange in the foodways of Late Holocene hunter-gatherer communities in coastal northern Hokkaido(1750 BCE–1250 CE). The Late Holocene period of this region is very dynamic, and characterised by numerous migrations and cultural replacements. LÄS MER
2. Understanding and managing cardiovascular disease risk factors in Vietnam : integrating clinical and public health perspectives
Sammanfattning : Background: Vietnam, like other low-income countries, is facing an epidemic burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVDRFs). The magnitude and directions of CVDRF progression are matters of uncertainty. LÄS MER
3. Improved adrenocortical PET imaging
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Adrenal tumours can either be benign or malignant, hormone secreting or not, and they can be discovered through clinical examination of the patient or by pure chance. Increased knowledge in the area, plus the widespread use of imaging techniques, have resulted in a rising number of patients with adrenal tumours that subsequently need to be diagnosed. LÄS MER
4. Protection and treatment of hypothermia in prehospital trauma care : with emphasis on active warming
Sammanfattning : Background: In prehospital trauma care active warming is recommended to aid in protection from further cooling. However, scientific evidence of the effectiveness of active warming in a clinical setting is scarce. Also, evaluating the effectiveness of active warming, especially in harsh ambient conditions, by objective measures, is difficult. LÄS MER
5. Atypical femoral fractures: Another brick in the wall : On aspects of healing, treatment strategies and surveillance
Sammanfattning : Atypical femoral fractures are stress fractures of the femoral subtrochanteric and diaphyseal region. It is a common notion that these fractures heal poorly, if at all. In this thesis we show that patients with atypical femoral fractures have a good capacity to generate bone and therefore heal fractures. LÄS MER
