  1. 16. Psychosocial situation of parents of children with congenital heart disease

    Författare :Stephen Lawoko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Congenital heart disease; parents; distress; hopelessness; quality of life; social support; satisfaction with care;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Current knowledge of the psychosocial situation of parents of congenital heart disease children (PCCHD) should be interpreted with caution. Most studies may not be representative of the population in question, and tend to concentrate mainly on describing PCCHD's distress experiences. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Distal femur fracture in the elderly patient

    Författare :Martin Paulsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Distal femur fracture; Geriatric patients; Weight-bearing; Recovery; Secondary displacement; Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis MIPO ; Fracture alignment; Fracture classification;

    Sammanfattning : Studies on the epidemiology of distal femur fractures show a vast increase in low-energy trauma-associated fractures in older ages. Age-related changes in bones lead to loss of bone matrix and increased porosity, which entails an increased risk for fractures and different fracture patterns than in younger individuals. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Epidemiology, prevention and control of Legionnaires' disease in Europe

    Författare :Julien Beauté; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Legionnaires’ disease (LD) is a water-borne infection cause by Gram-negative bacteria Legionella spp. with virtually no person-to-person transmission. The clinical presentation is a severe pneumonia with a case fatality of approximately 10%. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Health effects of heatwaves : short and long term predictions

    Författare :Christofer Åström; Bertil Forsberg; Kristie L. Ebi; Scott Sheridan; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heatwave; health impact assessment; early warning system; mortality; morbidity; climate change;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Climate change is defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as changes in the state of the climate associated with changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties. Climate change will affect temperatures both as an increase in mean temperature as well as changes in the frequency of temperature extremes. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Static Visualizations for Dynamic Hierarchies

    Författare :Wiebke Köpp; Tino Weinkauf; Vijay Natarajan; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dynamic hierarchies; Static visualization; Pixel-based visualization; Scalar data; Topology; Layout stability; Dynamiska hierarkier; Statisk visualisering; Pixelbaserad visualisering; Skalärdata; Topologi; Layout-stabilitet; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Dynamic hierarchical data describes phenomena in a wide range of domains, from file management to demographics and business administration, as well as feature extraction results in spatial scientific data. As with all data, visualization is an integral step for gaining understanding about dynamic hierarchical data. LÄS MER
