1. 16. Searching for causal effects of road traffic safety interventions : applications of the interrupted time series design

   Författare :Carl Bonander; Ragnar Andersson; Finn Nilson; Claes Tingvall; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Causal inference; Repeated measures; Methodology; Econometrics; Injury Epidemiology; Vulnerable Road Users; Time series analysis; Risk- och Miljöstudier; Risk and Environmental Studies;

   Sammanfattning : Traffic-related injuries represent a global public health problem, and contribute largely to mortality and years lived with disability worldwide. Over the course of the last decades, improvements to road traffic safety and injury surveillance systems have resulted in a shift in focus from the prevention of motor vehicle accidents to the control of injury events involving vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists and moped riders.

5. 19. Cardiometabolic risk indicators in bipolar disorders

   Författare :Hemen Najar; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bipolar disorders; Cardiometabolic risk indicators; Cardiovascular diseases;

   Sammanfattning : In addition to disabling mood episodes, bipolar disorders (BDs) predispose individuals to high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This thesis explores the association between BDs and the metabolic risk indicators body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), blood pressure, and lipid profile. LÄS MER

7. 20. Non-functioning pituitary adenomas and hypopituitarism - studies on morbidity and mortality

   Författare :Casper Hammarstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Non-functioning pituitary adenomas; Hypopituitarism; Glucocorticoid replacement; Growth hormone replacement; Morbidity; Mortality; Cancer; LDL-cholesterol;

   Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Hypopituitarism is most commonly caused by benign pituitary tumors, often resulting in insidious symptoms that develop over a long time. Due to either a mass effect exerted by the tumor, or due to the surgical treatment, hormonal deficiencies may arise, requiring hormone replacement. LÄS MER
