    Abstract : In recent years, the growing scientific interest in design has led to great advances in our knowledge of authentic design processes.

    Abstract : Night work is vital for maintaining our 24/7 society; however, in the long run, it may have adverse health consequences like obesity and Alzheimer’s disease.

  7. 5. Do-Not-Attempt-Cardiopulmonary-Resuscitation decisions in the hospital setting

    Author : Eva Piscator; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: A Do-Not-Attempt-Cardiopulmonary-Resuscitation (DNACPR) order can be placed when CPR is not in accordance with the patient’s will, when CPR is considered not to benefit the patient, or when CPR is very unlikely to be successful because the patient is dying from an irreversible condition. The decision to withhold CPR involves assessment of the predictors for favourable outcome, in compound with the patient’s values and goals of care to make a decision that is of benefit to the patient.
