   Author : Tove Abrahamsson; Lund Psykiatri; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Substance use; Sedatives; Anxiolytics; Hypnotics; Prescription drug miuse; Benzodiazepines; Z-drugs; Pregabalin; Self-assessed health; Quality of life; Opioid dependence; Opiate maintenance treatment; Mortality;

   Abstract : Background: Prescription sedatives are efficient in the treatment of anxiety and sleeping disorders, but are associated with a risk of misuse and dependence, as well as an increased risk of accidents, injuries and overdoses, both in the general population and especially in individuals with other substance misuse. The present thesis aims to investigate prescription sedative use and misuse in two kinds of samples - in the general population, with focus on its association with subjective health and quality life, and in the subpopulation of individuals with opioid dependence, with focus on treatment outcome in opioid maintenance treatment and mortality.

4. 22. Synthesis of biomolecules for nuclide therapy : Studies on amino acids, nucleosides and isoquinolines

   Author : Charlottta Naeslund; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : Nuclide therapy for cancer is based on the selective delivery of nuclide bearing compounds to tumour cells. Radionuclides, such as 125I, may be used, as well as stable isotopes, such as 10B, which is activated on site by an external neutron source. READ MORE

5. 23. [11C]Carbon Monoxide and Aryl Triflates in Palladium-Mediated Carbonylation Reactions : Synthetic approaches to [11C]Carbonyl Compounds and [11C]Amines

   Author : Obaidur Rahman; Bengt Långström; Fredrik Almqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; [11C]Carbon monoxide; Aryl triflates; Carbonylation; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

   Abstract : The usefulness of low concentrations (typically 10 to 100 µM) of [11C]carbon monoxide and aryl triflates as substrates in 11C-carbonylation using different nucleophiles in the presence of lithium bromide was investigated. The reactions were performed in a micro autoclave of 200 µL volume and catalysed (mediated) by palladium(0). READ MORE

7. 25. Suicide and drugs. Drug related suicide mortality and physicians' prescription patterns

   Author : Anders Carlsten; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Suicide; drug use; drug poisoning; antidepressants; benzodiazepines; prevention.;

   Abstract : Aim: The aims of the study were to 1) analyse a possible association between changes in drug sales and the occurrence of drug poisoning suicides 2) assess the role of benzodiazepines in elderly suicides 3) analyse changes in suicide mortality after the introduction of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, SSRIs 4) examine physicians' inclination to prescribe benzodiazepines in low and high prescribing areas. Method: Information on suicide mortality and death certificates were obtained from Statistics Sweden. READ MORE
