2. 21. Epidemiological studies of congenital heart defects in the Southeast region of Sweden

   Author : Marie Cedergren; Elisabeth Robert-Gnansia; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : In the most recent analysis of Swedish data on congenital malformations, it appeared that in the county of Östergötland, the prevalence of infants with a diagnosed congenital malformation was higher than in the rest of the country. This observation initiated an effort to make a more complete identification of all infants born with a congenital malformation in that county and to compare it with the other two counties in the Southeast region of Sweden (Jönköping and Kalmar), utilising all the relevant Swedish medical health registers available.

4. 22. Prognostic assessment in community acquired pneumonia

   Author : Richard Dwyer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : β-lactam;

   Abstract : Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the most commonly occurring infectious disease that requires hospital admission. CAP affects mainly, the youngest, the oldest, the poorest and the sickest. Annual incidence is 5-12 per 1000 adults. Between 20% and 40% of patients with CAP need in-hospital treatment. READ MORE

5. 23. Groundwater resources in hard rock coastal terrains : Insights into heterogeneity and spatial variability

   Author : Robert Earon; Bo Olofsson; Okke Batelaan; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Crystalline Rock; Groundwater Balance; Kinematic porosity; Groundwater Recharge; Water Security; Coastal Aquifer; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

   Abstract : Challenges regarding water security in hard rock coastal regions with limited soil cover are: a seasonal absence of recharge during times of peak residency, heterogeneity and variability of the fracture network, close proximity to saline water sources and spatially inconsistent storage and extraction. In areas where it is not feasible to connect residents to municipal water systems, a better understanding of the resilience of reservoirs is needed. READ MORE

6. 24. Characterization of immune specificities in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

   Author : Angeles Shunashy Galindo-Feria; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM or myositis) are a group of rheumatic autoimmune diseases characterised by skeletal muscle inflammation and weakness, and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis integrates several subgroups of muscular disorders with autoimmune backgrounds, where identifying myositis-specific and associated autoantibodies play an essential role. READ MORE

7. 25. Clinical characteristics and prognosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy

   Author : Kamilu Musa Karaye; Michael Henein; Krister Lindmark; Maria Schaufelberger; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : peripartum cardiomyopathy; characteristics; survival; selenium; RV dysfunction; Cardiology; kardiologi;

   Abstract : Background:Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an incompletely understood disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world, including Northern Nigeria. The aims of this Thesis were: [1] to determine if selenium deficiency, serum ceruloplasmin and traditional birth practices are risk factors for PPCM, in Kano, Nigeria; [2] to describe the one year survival and left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) in a group of patients with PPCM from three referral hospitals in Kano, Nigeria; [3] to identify potential electrocardiographic (ECG) predictors of PPCM; and [4] to assess right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) and remodelling in a cohort of PPCM patients in Kano, Nigeria.
