Clinical prediction of suicide and undetermined death : A pseudo-prospective clinical and medico-legal study of substance abusers

This study examines aspects of prediction of suicide and death of undetermined intent. We investigated all consecutive, autopsied patients between 1993 and 1997 who had been in contact with the Addiction Centre in Malmö from 1968 onwards. The staff was asked, shortly after autopsy but before they knew of the manner of death, if they thought the patient had committed suicide. The case records were

Antenatal management in fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia : A systematic review

Several strategies can be used to manage fetal or neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in subsequent pregnancies. Serial fetal blood sampling (FBS) and intrauterine platelet transfusions (IUPT), as well as weekly maternal IV immunoglobulin infusion (IVIG), with or without additional corticosteroid therapy, are common options, but optimal management has not been determined. The aim of this

Client-centred practice from the perspective of Danish patients with hand-related disorders

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to investigate perceptions of client-centred practice among Danish patients with hand-related disorders engaged in rehabilitation at outpatient clinics, and to decide on domains to serve as a conceptual foundation for item generation in the development of a new, standardized questionnaire to evaluate the experience of client-centredness among patients wit

Living as a person using a lower-limb prosthesis in Nepal

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore experiences of persons in Nepal using lower-limb prostheses, in relation to specific articles in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that consider mobility, education, health, rehabilitation, and work and employment. Method: Qualitative interviews were conducted with 16 persons using lower limb prostheses. Content analysis was

Rehabilitation, using guided cerebral plasticity, of a brachial plexus injury treated with intercostal and phrenic nerve transfers

Recovery after surgical reconstruction of a brachial plexus injury using nerve grafting and nerve transfer procedures is a function of peripheral nerve regeneration and cerebral reorganization. A 15-year-old boy, with traumatic avulsion of nerve roots C5-C7 and a non-rupture of C8-T1, was operated 3 weeks after the injury with nerve transfers: (a) terminal part of the accessory nerve to the supras

SF-36 Shows Increased Quality of Life Following Complete Reduction of Postmastectomy Lymphedema with Liposuction

Background: Arm lymphedema after breast cancer surgery affects women both from physical and psychological points of view. Lymphedema leads to adipose tissue deposition. Liposuction and controlled compression therapy (CCT) reduces the lymphedema completely. Methods and Results: Sixty female patients with arm lymphedema were followed for a 1-year period after surgery. The 36-item short-form health s

Collagenase injections for Dupuytren's disease : Prospective cohort study assessing 2-year treatment effect durability

Objectives To assess 2-year durability of joint contracture correction following collagenase injections for Dupuytren's disease. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Orthopaedic Department in Sweden. Participants Patients with palpable Dupuytren's cord and active extension deficit (AED) ≥30° in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and/or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. A surgeon injected 0.80 m

Unfractionated heparin versus bivalirudin in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention : A SWEDEHEART study

Aims: The aim of the study was to compare outcomes in unfractionated heparin (UFH) and bivalirudin-treated patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods and results: This observational study contained 20,612 PPCI patients treated with either UFH monotherapy or bivalirudin with or without concomitant UFH. Patients with oral anticoagulant or glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inh

Entrepreneurial learning and innovation : The critical role of team-level learning for the evolution of innovation capabilities in technology-based ventures

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual model that explains how learning processes at the team level connect with individual and organizational levels of learning in technology-based ventures, thereby influencing the evolution of innovation capabilities in the entrepreneurial process.Design/methodology/approachThe 4I organizational learning framework is used as an overarching tPurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual model that explains how learning processes at the team level connect with individual and organizational levels of learning in technology-based ventures, thereby influencing the evolution of innovation capabilities in the entrepreneurial process.Design/methodology/approachThe 4I organizational learning framework is used as an overarching t

Praktiskt konstitutionellt dömande : En handbok

Fri- och rättigheterna enligt svenska grundlagar samt Europakonventionen och EU:s rättighetsstadga har tolkats i en hel del domstolsavgöranden. I denna bok ges en överblick över den rättspraxis som finns. Generella frågor om fri- och rättigheternas förhållande till övriga typer av regler tas upp, liksom den praxis som finns inom olika delar av fri- och rättighetsskyddet: Domstolsprocessens funktio

Mord, prejudikattolkning och lagtolkning

I NJA 2016 s. 3 tillämpade Högsta domstolen mordbestämmelsen i dess nya lydelse. Högsta domstolen fann att det syfte som hade angetts i förarbetena — att skärpa straffen för mord — inte kom till uttryck i lagtexten. Högsta domstolen fortsatte därför att tillämpa det tidigare rättsläget enligt NJA 2013 s. 376. Avgörandet väcker frågor om metoden för prejudikattolkning och lagtolkning i svensk rätt,

Rättsreform, rättsdebatt och rättskultur — 100 år med Svensk Juristtidning

Svensk Juristtidning har kommit ut i 100 år. Den svenska rättsordningen har under detta sekel genomgått genomgripande förändringar, men tydliga rättsliga grundstrukturer har bevarats. I denna uppsats görs ett försök att fånga vissa framträdande drag i juristtidningens innehåll och hur juristtidningen har förändrats, när det gäller både dess utformning och dess innehåll. Viktiga delar av innehållet

Domarna som konstitutionella aktörer

Om och i så fall på vilket sätt domarna är konstitutionella aktörer har varit föremål för omfattande debatter. Debatten rörande huruvida domarna kunde utöva konstitutionell kontroll över lagstiftningen övergick på 1960-talet till en debatt om närmare bestämt hur domarna skulle utöva denna kontroll. Det är en debatt som inte är avslutad; diskussionen om hur domarna ska hantera olika typer av konsti

Extending Wastewater Treatment Process Models for Phosphorus Removal and Recovery : A Framework for Plant-Wide Modelling of Phosphorus, Sulfur and Iron

As problems associated with shortage in resource supply arise, wastewater treatment plants turn to innovation to transform themselves into resource recovery facilities. Water groups worldwide recognize that wastewater treatment plants are no longer disposal facilities but rather sources of clean water, energy and nutrients.One of the most important resources that can be recovered from wastewater t

Development and verification of a pharmacokinetic model to optimize physiologic replacement of rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 in preterm infants

Background:rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 is being investigated for prevention of retinopathy of prematurity in extremely preterm infants.Methods:A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using data from phase I/II (Sections A-C) trials of rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 and additional studies in preterm infants to predict optimal dosing to establish/maintain serum IGF-1 within physiological intrauterine levels. In S

School achievement, IQ, and risk of alcohol use disorder : A prospective, Co-relative analysis in a Swedish national cohort

Objective: Most studies suggest that poor cognitive functioning in adolescence increases risk of alcohol use disorders (AUDs). We seek to clarify the causes of this association. Method: In Swedish individuals born from 1972 to 1990 in whom cognitive functioning was assessed by school achievement at age 16 years (males and females, N = 1,796,048) and by IQ at ages 18–20 (males, N = 554,644), we exa
