Abstract:

This study focuses on the association between patient characteristics, which include both demographic and contextual factors, and patients' experiences with health care. The pre-existing literature provides rich information about patients' various demographics related to patient experience. Despite the abundance of empirical evidence showing that patients' demographics do affect how they perceive their health care. However, there is little to no empirical knowledge explaining the significance of such factors. As the existing literature points out the need for taking into contextual factors suc

Abstract:

Purpose: The systematic review explored whether self-management interventions improve patient activation in long-term conditions, and if any improvements are greater than the amount of change experienced by patients in usual care or active control conditions. It also aimed to determine if positive effects on activation are maintained at follow-up. The empirical study sought to explore relationships between patient activation, psychological factors (depression and valued living), perceived clinician empathy, perceived symptom severity, self-management and demographic variables.

Abstract:

Research shows that one of the major contributors for an extended stay in a long-term care facility is lack of knowledge regarding goals for rehabilitation after being discharged from an acute care facility. It is important to determine patients’ levels of engagement because individuals who are actively involved in discharge planning and rehabilitation goals are able to manage their ongoing care more effectively, which results in increased quality of life. The data was collected using a survey method and the instrument used was the Patient Activation Measure or PAM which is a highly accurate a

Abstract:

Psychiatric inpatient services provide important care for individuals with serious mental health problems. Studies show that passivity and social disengagement prevail in inpatient settings, and the transition to outpatient care is associated with increased suicide risk. Behavioural Activation is an intervention that targets depression by increasing personally meaningful activities. Preliminary research shows that Behavioural Activation can be used in inpatient settings. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of Behavioural Activation for individuals i

Background. AHA guidelines have been established to reduce Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)-related morbidity, mortality and recurrent events post-discharge. These recommendations emphasize the patient as an engaged member of the health care team in secondary prevention efforts. Patients with high levels of activation are more likely to perform activities that will promote their own health and are more likely to have their health care needs met. Despite evidence and strong expert consensus supporting patients as active collaborators in their own ACS care, the complexity and unexpected realities

Health care reform has caused consumers to learn more about what it means to have health insurance and its costs. Patient engagement, a critical component of health care reform, reflects provider and consumer attention to shared decision making between patient and physician. The problem addressed in this study is that although researchers have studied patient engagement, there has been insufficient exploration of the relationship between financial literacy and patient engagement, which could negatively impact health outcomes not only for patients or consumers but for society as a whole.

However, self-management is often oversimplified and poorly operationalised, in both the literature and in clinical practice, to adherence and 'good/bad' distinctions that may impede future investigations and interventions.

Stroke causes impairment of the sensory and motor systems; this can lead to difficulties in walking and participation in society. For effective rehabilitation it is important to measure the essential characteristics of impairment and associate these with the nature of disability. Efficient gait requires a complex interplay of muscles. Surface electromyography(sEMG) can be used to measure muscle activity and to observe disruption to this interplay after stroke. Yet, classification of this disruption in stroke patients has not been achieved. It is hypothesised that features identified from the s

Abstract:

Le travail présenté ici porte sur la réponse migratoire et adaptative à l'infection par le virus de rimmunodéficience Humaine (VIH). En analysant les réponses chimiotactiques chez les patients infectés, nous avons observé un défaut de migration à CCL19, un ligand de CCR7, chez les patients virémiques. Ce défaut est indépendant de l'expression de CCR7, suggérant une perturbation de la signalisation en aval du récepteur. L'altération de la réponse chimiotactique via CCR7 risque de limiter la migration des lymphocytes T dans les ganglions lymphatiques, ce qui pourrait contribuer à enrayer la répo

Abstract:

Despite the interest in the neuroimaging of working memory, little is still known about the neurobiology of complex working memory in tasks that require simultaneous manipulation and storage of information. In addition to the central executive network, we assumed that the recently described salience network [involving the anterior insular cortex (AIC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)] might be of particular importance to working memory tasks that require complex, effortful processing. Method: Healthy participants (n = 26) and participants suffering from working memory problems related t

Abstract:

Increased platelet activation and inflammation play a key role in atherothrombosis. Patients with peripheral arterial disease are at increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events, particularly at the time of surgery. We postulated that the increase in peri-operative cardiovascular events is mediated by increased platelet activation and inflammation. We hypothesized that peri-operative dual anti-platelet therapy would improve biomarkers of atherothrombosis without causing unacceptable bleeding in patients undergoing surgery for critical limb ischaemia (CLI). Prior to interventional study, I v

INTRODUKTION OCH SYFTE: Tidigare studier av kooperation och ortodonti har visat att ett av de bästa sätten att öka patienternas kooperation är genom att övervaka användningstiden och påminna patienten om att använda sin apparatur. Den här pilotstudiens syfte var att undersöka om någon utav två olika typer av påminnelser objektivt ökar användningstiden vid behandling med avtagbar apparatur eller inte.MATERIAL OCH METOD: 18 patienter i åldrarna 9-14 års ålder från en patientpopulation som behandlades vid avdelningen för Ortodonti, Odontologiska Fakulteten på Malmö Högskola, deltog i studien.

Abstract:

The apelin-apelin receptor (APLNR) system is an important regulator of cardiovascular homeostasis both in health and disease. Principal actions of the apelin-APLNR system are positive inotropism, vasodilatation, diuresis and a potential anti-inflammatory role in vascular tissue. The significance of this system is highlighted in heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Preclinical models of these diseases report downregulation of apelin- APLNR, whilst knockout strains develop more severe phenotypes, more rapidly. Moreover treatment with exogenous apelin retards or prevents disease progression.
