2. 6. Accidental hypothermia and local cold injury : physiological and epidemiological studies on risk

   Author : Helge Brändström; Michael Haney; Urban Wiklund; Anders Eriksson; Karl-Axel Ängquist; Ola Winsö; Sigridur Kalman; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cold-related injuries; hypothermia; frostbite; cold adaptation; rewarming; autonomic nervous system; heart rate variability;

   Abstract : Background: (Papers I and II) The objectives were to first determine incidence and contributing factors to cold-related injuries in northern Sweden, both those that led to hospitalization and those that led to fatality.  (Papers III and IV) A further aim was to assess post-cooling hand-rewarming responses and effects of training in a cold environment, both on fingertip rewarming and on function of the autonomic nervous system, to evaluate if there was adaptation related to prolonged occupational cold exposure.

   Abstract : AIM: The aim of this thesis is to assess, in LQTS and according to genotype, the myocardial electromechanical (EM) function response to exercise, its relation to symptoms and its response to b-blocker therapy. To achieve this aim, we conducted 4 studies with the following specific objectives: i. READ MORE

5. 8. Reducing ships' fuel consumption and emissions by learning from data

   Author : Fredrik Ahlgren; Marcus Thern; Maria E. Mondejar; Cecilia Österman; Ann-Charlotte Larsson; Erik Dahlquist; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; shipping; energy efficiency; orc; machine learning; emissions; Sjöfartsvetenskap; Maritime Science;

   Abstract : In the context of reducing both greenhouse gases and hazardous emissions, the shipping sector faces a major challenge as it is currently responsible for 11% of the transport sector’s anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Even as emissions reductions are needed, the demand for the transport sector rises exponentially every year. READ MORE

6. 9. Life after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

   Author : Svante Wallmark; Elisabeth Ronne-Engström; Erik Lundström; Peter Appelros; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease with mean age of 59 years. SAH accounts for 5% of all stroke and more than one quarter of potential life years lost through stroke. With the advanced neurosurgical methods of today two thirds of the patients survive.

7. 10. Malnutrition in hospitalised elderly patients

   Author : Mitra Unosson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The aim of the present study was to assess nutritional status in elderly patients admitted to geriatric clinic and emergency care hospital, to describe the differences between malnourished and well-nourished patients, to study changes of nutritional status during the recovery period and to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation.In a geriatric clinic, 501 newly admitted patients were randomly allocated either to a group that received an extra nutritional supplementation or to one that did not.
