Measuring the oxygen saturation is of great value in a wide range of medical fields. For instance, tumor progression and malignancy is strongly dependent on tumor hypoxia. Monitoring of cerebral oxygen saturation can be used in the diagnosis of cerebral desaturations in stroke patients. In cardiovascular disease and diabetes the measurement of abnormalities of the microcirculation can monitor the

OBJECTIVE:: To outline the prevalence of nonhormonal drug use in middle-aged women and to assess plausible associations between serum androgen levels and variables associated to health such as drug use and planned visits to healthcare units. METHODS:: This was a population-based study of women aged 50 to 59 years (n = 6,893). Women were divided into three groups according to their menopause status

Ischemic stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and a major cause of disability. It takes place when the brain does not receive sufficient blood supply due to the blood clot in the vessels or narrowing of vessels’ inner space due to accumulation of fat products. Apart from thrombolysis (dissolving of blood clot) and thrombectomy (surgical removal of blood clot or widening of ves

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has improved the survival in selected colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastases. In these patients, the risk of a low anastomosis is sometimes diminished through the creation of a colostomy. Currently, the morbidity and mortality associated with the reversal of the colostomy in this population

Objective: To study the impact of common noncomposite disease activity measures on sick leave in biologics-treated patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Data from study visits by biologics-treated RA patients of working age (<65 years) in the observational South Swedish Arthritis Treatment Group Register between 2005 and 2011, were included (5,118 visits by 941 patients). We performed

The modernisation of Swedish households during the twentieth century prompted a considerable productivity growth in household production. This paper examines the association between this process and the allocation of female time in Swedish urban households during the period 1920-1990. Estimates presented in the paper suggest a minimum potential time reduction for a fixed volume of routine househol

Recent years have seen acknowledgment from a number of researchers that similarities appear to exist in complex cognitive skills of distantly related species – most notably in corvids, parrots, delphinids, and great apes. Discoveries on complex cognitive skills in common hold the promise of interesting and fruitful new perspectives on cognition. That said, some theoretical approaches seem largely

Israel utropades formellt som en oberoende stat 1948, en tid när den modernistiska ideologin nådde sin kulmen globalt även fast det haft ett stadigt grepp om stadsplaneringens normer sedan tidigt 1920-tal.

Den stora tillströmningen av människor attraherade dessutom Israel was officially declared as an independent state in 1948. A time when the modernistic ideology peaked around the globe, although it had been the dominant urban planning paradigm since the early 1920s.
