2. 21. Incorporating user values in the design of information systems and services in the public sector : a methods approach

   Author : Niklas Hallberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis is motivated by the aim of public-sector organizations to become more efficient by quality improvement efforts and the introduction of infonnation systems. The main objective is to explore methods for the design of infonnation systems and information-system-supported services in the public sector, which meet the users' needs. READ MORE

4. 22. Objective quantification and analysis of eating behaviour associated with obesity development : from lab to real-life

   Author : Billy Langlet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: The last four decades have seen a marked increase in childhood and adult obesity prevalence, attributed to an “obesogenic” environment. Several genetical, environmental and behavioural factors have been identified that increase the risk of obesity, but treatment outcomes are usually modest and the risk of relapse high. READ MORE

5. 23. Analysis of ICP pulsatility and CSF dynamics : the pulsatility curve and effects of postural changes, with implications for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

   Author : Sara Qvarlander; Anders Eklund; Jan Malm; Richard Birgander; Martin U Schuhmann; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cerebrospinal fluid; CSF dynamics; Intracranial pressure; Pulse pressure; Normal pressure hydrocephalus; Posture; Predictive tests; Mathematical modelling; Magnetic resonance imaging; Infusion tests;

   Abstract : The volume defined by the rigid cranium is shared by the brain, blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). With every heartbeat the arterial blood volume briefly increases and venous blood and CSF are forced out of the cranium, leading to pulsatility in CSF flow and intracranial pressure (ICP). READ MORE

6. 24. Bile in the oesophagus contributes to the development and complications of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease

   Author : Jacob Freedman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Gastro- oesophageal reflux disease; duodeno- gastro- oesophageal reflux; bile; oesophagitis; cholecystectomy; ulcer; oesophageal motility; bilitec; normal values;

   Abstract : Objective: To clarify the relationship between duodenogastro- oesophageal reflux (DGOR) and gastro- oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and its complications. Methods: As persons who have had their gallbladders removed have been shown to have an increased incidence of duodenogastric reflux, one would expect them to have an increased incidence of DGOR.

7. 25. Fecal calprotectin in children with special reference to inflammatory bowel disease

   Author : Ulrika Lorentzon Fagerberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Biological markers; calcium-binding proteins; Leukocyte L1 Antigen Complex; calprotectin; acute- phase proteins; serum amyloid A; C-reactive protein; ELISA; feces; blood; children; adolescent; colitis; inflammatory bowel disease; colonoscopy; reference values; diagnosis.;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to study the clinical usefulness of fecal calprotectin as a noninvasive marker of colonic inflammation in children with suspected or confirmed chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Calprotectin, a calcium-binding protein predominantly expressed in neutrophils, is stable in feces for several days, and can be measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. READ MORE
