Bakgrund: I Norden sker i stort sett alla förlossningar på sjukhus assisterade av barnmorskor. Internationellt varierar antalet hemförlossningar. Bad har historiskt sett använts för avslappning och smärtlindring i samband med en förlossning. Det finns en ökad efterfrågan hos kvinnor i Sverige som önskar sig en alternativ förlossningsmetod och det är en fråga som väcker debatt, både i Sverige och i andra länder.

Abstract:
Pulmonary and oral drug administrations are usually the preferred methods of delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients.Generally,pulmonary drug formulations are more attractive compared to oral formulations since they consist of micron-sized powders with high surface area thus having faster onset of action,as well as minimizing the drug dosage and side effects.Oral insulin formulations,if achievable,would provide an alternative to injectable insulin,as the common drawbacks of injectable insulin are the multiple daily injections and the possibility of skin infections at the injection site.

In order to have optimal control of the process, the parameters of the system to be controlled must be accurately identified.

The consequence of this form of treatment results in the killing of healthy and rapidly-growing non-cancerous cells including cells in the bone marrow; hair follicles; and cells in the mouth, digestive tract, and reproductive system.

Microbubbles, currently employed in diagnostic ultrasound as a contrast agent, have a potential new application as vehicles for targeted drug delivery, which could revolutionise medicine by eliminating side-effects.

A numerical model is established to describe the flow behaviour and it is determined that the flow regime and resulting microbubble size are dependent on the ratio of inner- to outer Weber number.

The intrinsic viscosity obtained from measurements of dilute solution viscosities is often used to determine the average molecular weight and chain dimensions of a polymer as well as the interaction between the polymer and the solvent.

Clostridium sporogenes is part of a highly diverse group of Gram positive, spore forming, anaerobic bacteria. C. sporogenes can be used as a delivery vehicle for chemotherapeutics in cancer treatment due to the inactive spore form of C. sporogenes only germinating in the microenvironment of the hypoxic tumour. Cancer, despite large investment in treatment and diagnosis, still remains one of the leading causes of death in the world.

Carbonate pores are not always so; consequently, the Winland method is not as reliable for assessing reservoir quality in carbonate reservoirs.
