Popular Abstract in Swedish Rättvisekriterier och andra etiska aspekter spelar en stor roll i svensk sjukvård. De ingår t ex i målformuleringen i hälso- och sjukvårdslagen ("Målet för hälso- och sjukvården är en god hälsa och en vård på lika villkor för hela befolkningen.", §2). Läkare och andra beslutsfattare påpekar regelbundet vikten av moraliska värderingar, och befolkningen i gemen torde delaEquality of access may be defined and operationalised in several ways. Paper I, 'Equality of access. Definitions and policy implications', proposes a theoretical outline of possible definitions of equal access, of the policy measures needed to attain equality and of their consequences. The health economic literature proposes two main definitions of equal access. Equal access prevails either when i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studier har visat att rörelsen i atrioventrikulära planet (AVPD) är korrelerat med såväl vänster kammares (VK) systoliska, mätt som ejections fraktion (EF), som diastoliska funktion. Ålder, hjärtfrekvens, VK storlek, vänster förmaks storlek, myokardiets tjocklek, kroppsyta och afterload är andra faktorer som påverkar AVPD. I denna avhandling studeras relationen mellan ALeft atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) has been shown to correlate well with left ventricular (LV) systolic function measured as ejection fraction (EF). AVPD has also been shown to be related to diastolic performance. Other factors related to AVPD include age, heart rate, LV and atrial dimensions, myocardial thickness, bodysurface, and afterload. In this thesis the left AVPD was studied i

Previous research has shown that most transitions into abstinence happens in the stages of the drug career quickly after the first treatment episode. Mortality is somewhat reduced for patients who become abstinent, but remains high for patients who remain addicted. However, even among substance abusers who become abstinent, mortality is often higher than in the general population. A consecutive sa

To further improve clinical outcome we need new treatment strategies, new prognostic markers, and new treatment predictive factors for personalized medicine.In this dissertation I have focu

BACKGROUND: The progression of tumor growth requires the recruitment of new blood vessels. It has been suggested that the degree of neovascularization would correlate with clinical prognosis. The purpose of the present study was to ascertain whether tumor vascularization correlated with clinical outcome in cases of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).METHODS: In tumor biop

Background: Patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer face a poor prognosis and multiple symptoms and problems that negatively affect their quality of life. In view of the prognosis and extensive illness burden, an early palliative care approach is of importance.Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe and compare symptoms, problems and care needs in relation to the initial treatment

Specific causes of death, survival, and recurrence rates were assessed in a cohort of 60 patients who had undergone surgery for craniopharyngioma between 1951 and 1988. Compared to the general population, the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was increased [5.55; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.68-8.22], and it was higher among females (SMR, 11.4) than males (SMR, 4.79). The risk of cardio- and c
