1. 16. People with multiple sclerosis in Stockholm : aspects of motor and cognitive function, activities of daily living and social/lifestyle activities

   Författare :Ulrika Einarsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Cognition; human activities; movement; multiple sclerosis; population; prevalence; walking;

   Sammanfattning : No population-based, detailed data has been published regarding persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) in terms of cognitive function, manual dexterity, general motor capacity, walking capacity, activities of daily living (ADL) and social/lifestyle activities. In addition, there is a lack of knowledge about associations between cognitive function, manual dexterity, walking ability, socio-demographic factors and coping capacity; and independence in ADL and normal frequency of social/lifestyle activities in a population-based sample of PwMS.

3. 17. Promoting preterm infants' development and mother child interaction : newborn individualized developmental care and assessment program

   Författare :Agneta Kleberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Family-centred care according to Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) has been increasingly introduced in Europe since the 1990's. The NIDCAP model provides a tool for observation and interpretation of preterm infant's behavioural cues, and includes guidelines on how to support the preterm infant's development and family.

4. 18. Diet and gastrointestinal cancer : one-carbon metabolism and other aspects

   Författare :Susanna C Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Diet has been hypothesized to play a major role in the etiology of gastrointestinal cancer, but the specific dietary factors involved remain unclear. The aims of this thesis were: to examine the associations of dietary magnesium and vitamin B6 intakes with risk of colorectal cancer in the Swedish Mammography Cohort (SMC); to evaluate the relation between folate intake and risk of pancreatic cancer in the SMC and the Cohort of Swedish Men (COSM); to use metaanalysis to summarize the evidence from published studies of the associations of folate intake and polymorphisms in the gene encoding 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T and A1298C), a central enzyme in one-carbon metabolism, with risk of esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer; and to perform a meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies of the relationship between processed meat consumption and risk of gastric cancer.

5. 19. Advanced radiological imaging in patients treated with Extracorporeal Memebrane Oxygenation

   Författare :Marika Lidegran; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :ECMO; computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; acute respiratory distress syndrome; thorax; abdomen; intracranial hemorrhage; cerebral infarction; follow-up;

   Sammanfattning : Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the use of a modified heart-lung machine to support life during severe acute cardiac and/or respiratory failure. Patients on ECMO are at high risk for complications due to the severe underlying disease and to the ECMO procedure itself. LÄS MER

7. 20. High dose rate brachytherapy boost for localized prostate cancer : clinical and patient-reported outcomes

   Författare :Thomas Wahlgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Localized prostate cancer; radiotherapy; HDR brachytherapy; health related quality of life; questionnaires; side effects;

   Sammanfattning : Curative treatment of prostate cancer is controversial. The therapeutic effects of surgery and radiotherapy (RT) have hitherto proved to be similar, why other endpoints such as health related quality of life (HRQoL) stay important in decision-making. LÄS MER
