1. 1. Short-term and Long-term Exposure to Air pollution and Stroke risk

   Författare :Anna Oudin; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Long-term effects; Two-phase methods; Hemorrhagic stroke; Ischemic stroke; Short-term effects; Hospital admissions; Air Pollution;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Stroke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity across the world. Air pollution has become an acknowledged risk factor for stroke, especially for acute effects. There is less support for effects by chronic exposure due to the methodological challenges inherent in such studies. LÄS MER

3. 2. Short- and long-term outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage

   Författare :Sandra Bjerkne Wenneberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage; delayed cerebral ischemia; biomarkers; inflammation; heart rate variability; long-term outcomes; mental fatigue;

   Sammanfattning : Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a sudden and devastating event with significant morbidity and mortality. The development of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major contributor to the observed high morbidity. Prompt detection of these injuries remains a considerable challenge. LÄS MER

4. 3. Oral health, experiences of oral care, associated factors, and mortality among older people in short-term care

   Författare :Susanne Koistinen; Anna Ehrenberg; Lena Olai; Katri Ståhlnacke; Ulrika Lindmark; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; older people; oral care; oral health; oral health-related quality of life; self-perceived; short-term care; swallowing dysfunction; mortality; Health and Welfare; Hälsa och välfärd;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe oral health and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), to compare self-perceived oral health with professional assessment, and to examine associated factors of importance for oral health, experiences, and mortality among older people in short-term care. Paper I describes oral health, daily oral care, and related factors among older people in short-term care and compares the older people’s self-perceived oral health with professional assessment of oral health.

5. 4. Swallowing dysfunction among older people in short-term care : prevalence, effect of intervention, and risk of mortality

   Författare :Patricia Hägglund; Eva Levring Jäghagen; Per Wester; Mary Hägg; Karin Brunnegård; Per Östberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :swallowing disorder; dysphagia; elderly care; intermediate care; undernutrition; oral health; treatment; rehabilitation; quality of life; mortality risk; survival;

   Sammanfattning : Objectives: Swallowing dysfunction (dysphagia) is a common, but often neglected condition among geriatric patients that can cause severe complications such as malnutrition, aspiration pneumonia and death. The aims of this thesis were to (i) describe the study design and method of the multidisciplinary and multicenter project SOFIA (Swallowing function, Oral health, and Food Intake in old Age), (ii) study the prevalence of and the relationship between swallowing dysfunction and risk of undernutrition among older individuals in short-term care, (iii) study the effect of oral neuromuscular training on swallowing dysfunction among older individuals, and (iv) to investigate the association between poor oral health, swallowing dysfunction and mortality.

   Nyckelord :Gastroenteritis; acute infectious diarrhea; Salmonella; Campylobacter; mortality; complications; morbidity; late effects; epidemiology; hospitalization; cohort study;

   Sammanfattning : The objectives of this thesis were to increase our understanding of the mortality and complications associated with bacterial gastrointestinal infections, with focus on Salmonella and Campylobacter enteritis. The effect of antibiotics vs. placebo on duration of diarrhea in Campylobacter enteritis was also examined. LÄS MER
