New government legislation is necessary to ensure full transparency of industry payments in the UK’s healthcare. A first step should involve challenging the industry- driven discourse that allows company payment disclosures to be inconsequential for managing conflicts of interest.
Despite the well-documented effectiveness of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in treating severe obesity, significant gaps persist in understanding adolescents' lived experiences and perspectives. Addressing these gaps is essential for enhancing patient-centered care and supporting long-term outcomes.
Background A substantial untapped potential for risk reduction may be fulfilled by applying intensive lifestyle interventions targeting the co-existing risky lifestyle factors Smoking, Nutrition (both malnutrition and obesity), risky Alcohol intake, and Physical inactivity (SNAP) before surgery. This trial will compare the effect of combined and individually tailored prehabilitation with standard
Introduction: Regional and hospital decision-makers increasingly require analyses assessing the cost-benefit profile of new cancer drugs. This analysis evaluates the cost-benefit profile of nano albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) in pancreatic cancer, versus other drugs indicated in high-unmet need solid tumour indications in Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden). M
Background: Intermittent claudication requires treatment with secondary prevention to reduce disease progression and the risk of cardiovascular events and to improve quality of life. Health literacy and self-efficacy are important preconditions for the health behaviour changes necessary for adhering to secondary prevention. Aim: Evaluate health literacy in patients with intermittent claudication r
This paper investigates the redistributive effects of the Swedish health care financing system in 1980 and 1990 for four different financial sources: county council taxes, payroll taxes, direct payments and state grants. The redistributive effects are decomposed into vertical, horizontal and 'reranking' segments for each of the four financial sources. The data used are based on probability samples
Thrombotic microangiopathy can be caused by several conditions which are difficult to diagnose from the clinical presentation alone. Deficient enzyme activity of a newly-discovered enzyme, ADAMTS-13, can lead to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Lack of ADAMTS-13 activity causes increased concentrations of high molecular weight von Willebrand factor forms and increased platelet aggregatio
We demonstrate that exceptional points exist in fully transparent, optically "effectively" biaxial, anisotropic micro-cavities, fabricated using an uniaxial cavity material with its axis inclined to the Bragg mirror growth direction. This is similar to the existence of singular (optic) axes in absorbing biaxial crystals, but the lack of time reversal symmetry is mediated by the mode broadening, i.
Under detta projekt s˚a analyserades h¨ogenergetiska proton-proton kollisioner i syftet f¨or att b¨attre f¨orst˚a hur den starka v¨axelverkan med hj¨alp av gluoner h˚aller ihop kvarkar, en av materians fundamentalpartiklar, f¨or att bilda hadroner. Dessa h¨ogenergetiska protoner accelereras upp till 99 % av ljusets hastighet med hj¨alp av partikelacceleratorn ”Large Hadron Collider” (LHC), innan dThe purpose of this project is to further investigate whether the collective behavior observed in high energy proton-proton (p-p) collision can be attributed to the formation of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). This is done by measuring the production rate of the strange φ meson in high multiplicity p-p collisions at √sNN = 13 TeV. The high multiplicity p-p events are then divided into different transver
Cystatin C was identified as a marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in 1979, and the parallel analysis of cystatin C and creatinine led to the identification of shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) ? a new kidney disorder ? in 2015. Since then, it has been shown that cystatin C in many aspects is superior to creatinine as a marker of GFR and cardiovascular risk. SPS, an entity within the selective g
In 2024, the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) published a list of 10 low-value practices in paediatric care. Embedded in the Choosing Wisely framework, this list is a step towards promoting targeted and evidence-based care. However, no single recommendation can change prescription habits and we need to acknowledge that overuse of the available resources has multiple causes. Among them, the ph
There is an increasing demand on universities and university colleges to involve student nurses in research and development projects. The aim of this study was to describe different ways of involving students in research and development projects in order to gain empirical material for their own undergraduate projects and to discuss the challenges in involving students in those projects. The study
We investigate differences in resource utilization between a multiprofessional team-based primary care practice and standard care for elderly patients with complex needs, from the perspective of different actors involved in healthcare delivery. The study is based on a mobile care team reform in a Swedish region, that spans across both organisational boundaries and different legislation. Our findin
