2. 1. Valvular aortic stenosis in children. Outcome, physical activity and health-related quality of life

   Author : Cecilia Kjellberg Olofsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Valvular aortic stenosis; Critical aortic stenosis; Child; Neonate; Outcome; Surgical valvotomy; Physical activity; Health-related quality of life; Life satisfaction;

   Abstract : Introduction: Isolated valvular aortic stenosis (VAS) accounts for 3–5% of congenital heart disease and presents with a wide spectrum of severity. Critical VAS in the neonate is the most severe form, fatal in the absence of treatment. Physical activity is essential for normal development and is a prerequisite for long-term cardiovascular health. READ MORE

4. 2. Ankle fractures. Outcome and rehabilitation. A physiotherapeutic perspective

   Author : Gertrud Nilsson; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; subjective outcome; ankle fracture; physical outcome; rehabilitation; surgical treatment; balance; quality of life; age; training programme;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this work was to evaluate symptoms, subjectively scored function and physical outcome in patients with surgically treated ankle fractures. Another aim was also to evaluate the effects of a standardised but individually suited supervised training program. READ MORE

5. 3. Elements of modeling nanoparticle growth: Surface thermodynamics and dispersive interactions

   Author : Joakim Löfgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; density functional theory; growth mechanism; gold nanorods; dispersive interactions; molecular dynamics; van der Waals forces; thermodynamics; CTAB; anisotropic nanoparticles; modeling; surface phase diagram;

   Abstract : Metal nanoparticles have in recent decades been the subject of intense research owing to their wide range of size and shape-dependent properties, which makes them interesting candidates for a variety of applications. Gold nanorods represent a particularly intriguing type of particle due to their tunable plasmonic properties. READ MORE

6. 4. Ten-year outcome of anorexia nervosa with teenage onset

   Author : Elisabet Wentz; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anorexia nervosa; controlled; population study; prospective; follow-up; outcome; psychosocial functioning; comorbidity; personality disorders; autism spectrum disorders; psychiatric disorders; Morgan-Russell scales; GAF; physical health; neurology; dysdiadochokinesis; family study.;

   Abstract : Objectives: To study prospectively the relatively long-term outcome in a representative sample of teenage onset anorexia nervosa (AN) in respect of overall outcome, physical health, psychiatric disorders, and personality disorders and to investigate familial factors among first-degree relatives. Method: A group of 51 cases (48 female, 3 male) with AN, recruited by community screening (including the total AN population (minus one individual) from one birth cohort), with a mean age of onset of 14 years, was contrasted with an age-, sex-, and school-matched group of 51 comparison cases on various measures of outcome at a mean age of 24 years (10 years after reported AN onset).

7. 5. Non-specific Low Back Pain - Classification and Treatment

   Author : Tom Petersen; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; Physical Examination; Diagnosis; Outcome; Validity; Low Back Pain; Reliability; Classification;

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to investigate the effects of the Mc-Kenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy compared with that of intensive dynamic strengthening training for patients with non-specific low back pain (NLBP), and to develop a clinical diagnostic classification system for use in primary care. The McKenzie method is one of the most common methods for examination and treatment of patients with NSLBP used by physiotherapists in the Western World. READ MORE
