1. 1. Heart failure : biomarker effect and influence on quality of life

   Författare :Patric Karlström; Urban Alehagen; Mikael Dellborg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heart failure; Biomarker; B-type natriuretic peptide; Heart failure treatment; B-type Natriuretic Peptide guided heart failure treatment; Responders; Health-related quality of life; Heart failure duration; Outcomes;

   Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Heart failure (HF) is a life threatening condition and optimal handling is necessary to reduce risk of therapy failure. The aims of this thesis were: (Paper I) to examine whether BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide)-guided HF treatment improves morbidity and mortality when compared with HF therapy implemented by a treating physician at sites experienced in managing patients with HF according to guidelines; (Paper II) to investigate how to define a responder regarding optimal cut-off level of BNP to predict death, need for hospitalisation, and worsening HF and to determine the optimal time to apply the chosen cut-off value; (Paper III) to evaluate how Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QoL) is influenced by natriuretic peptide guiding and to study how HR-QoL is affected in responders compared to non-responders; (Paper IV) to evaluate the impact of patient age on clinical outcomes, and to evaluate the impact of duration of the HF disease on outcomes and the impact of age and HF duration on BNP concentration.

3. 2. Secure emergency communications of emergency responders : a case study of Kemi municipality in Finland

   Författare :Heidi Hartikainen; Erik Borglund; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; emergency management; information security; emergency response; emergency communications; secure communications; Data- och systemvetenskap; Computer and Systems Science;

   Sammanfattning : Emergency response is highly time-critical and information dependent: every moment counts and organizations need to access various information that supports their decision making and informs them about the scale and location of the emergency, the damages, and the availability of human and physical resources. This kind information can originate from many different places and the situation can be stressful as there is a need to communicate quickly, reliably and accurately within their own organization, but also inter-organizationally.

4. 3. Dispatch of lay responders to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests

   Författare :Ellinor Berglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background and aim: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major public-health problem affecting around 300 000 Europeans each year. If treatment is not started within a couple of minutes the chances of survival are slim. One important predictor of survival is the time from call to start of treatment. LÄS MER

5. 4. Mathematical modeling in precision nutrition

   Författare :Viktor Skantze; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Personalized nutrition; precision nutrition; differential responders; metabotypes;

   Sammanfattning : Precision nutrition (PN) aims to tailor diets for individuals or groups based on comprehensive data to improve prevention of diseases, such as cardiometabolic diseases. Predicting individual postprandial metabolic responses and identifying individuals with similar metabolic phenotypes (metabotypes) could guide tailored diet strategies. LÄS MER
