While international research has shown negative attitudes toward PCPDU in healthcare, PHC professionals’ attitudes toward PCPDU have not been assessed in Sweden. The aim of this study was to investigate PHC professionals’ attitudes to PCPDU, and to compare attitudes tow

The Danish scholar Johannes Munck proposed a connection between Paul's collection for Jerusalem and prophetic texts that envisage a pilgrimage of Gentiles to Zion in the end times. Nonetheless, Munck's seminal theory on the collection for Jerusalem has been contested in recent times. This article argues that the Pauline Epistles contain some textual evidence of this link between the two events and

Thanks to name statistics published by the national bureaus of statistics in Scan­dinavia it is possible to study the changing popularity of first names. This paper is based on statistics from the years 1998-2002 in Sweden, 1998-2000 in Finland and 1880-2000 in Norway. The rise and fall in popularity — and in some cases renaissance — of individual names are shown and analyzed.It is observed that o

BACKGROUND: Direct-to-consumer telemedicine is an increasingly used modality to access primary care.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cellulära mekanismer vid ischemisk tolerans Stroke, hjärntrauma, hjärnblödning och övergående hjärtstillestånd, leder till minskat blodflöde till hjärnan (ischemi) och orsakar hjärnskador. Mot denna skadeutveckling finns ännu inte något medel för kliniskt bruk. I djurexperimentella ischemimodeller har man kunnat skydda hjärnan mot ischemiska skador genom att utsätta hjäA brief period of sublethal ischemia in the brain induces resistance to a subsequent, otherwise lethal ischemic insult. This phenomenon is known as ischemic tolerance or preconditioning. A model of ischemic preconditioning in the rat brain using the two-vessel occlusion model of global cerebral ischemia was established. Using this model we have demonstrated that ischemic preconditioning protects t

Representations of the Female Swedish-American: From the Drag Maid to the Bikini Girl In Swedish films from above all the 1930s, the Swedish American visitor is a rather recurrent guest.
