”Det är ett hantverk att utreda mord” : En kvalitativ studie om utredningsmässiga svårigheter (och möjligheter) kopplade till dödligt våld i kriminella miljöer / “Investigating murder is a craftsmanship” : A qualitative study of investigative difficulties (and opportunities) linked to lethal violence in criminal environments

Anhage, Linnéa, Ringström, Fanny January 2022 (has links)
Att Polismyndigheten har svårt att klara upp fall av dödligt våld i kriminella miljöer är ett problem som är vida känt i dagens Sverige. I kriminalstatistiken påvisas ett ökat skjutvapenvåld, och studier samt personliga utsagor vittnar om en utbredd tystnadskultur inom kriminella kretsar och utsatta områden. Denna studie uppmärksammar den problematik som finns kopplad till utredningar av dödligt våld i kriminella miljöer. Intervjuer har gjorts med fem utredare som är, eller nyligen har arbetat, med dessa ärenden inom Polismyndigheten. Materialet har analyserats med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys, och resultatet har kopplats till teorierna rational choice, broken windows, samt organisatoriskt lärande. I resultatet har identifierats svårigheter kopplade den resursbrist som tydligt framkommit under studiens gång, där det efterfrågas ett större antal utredare samt bredare kompetens, kunskap och erfarenhet. Vidare har framkommit att det förekommer svårigheter i att få människor att vittna vid dessa typer av brott. Slutligen efterfrågas av intervjupersonerna större legala möjligheter i form av övervakning. / The purpose of this study was to examine what investigative difficulties are associated with investigations of lethal violence in criminal environments. We wanted to investigate which factors tend to complicate the work for Polismyndigheten. Furthermore, we discussed the consequences that the low rate of resolved cases has on society and how it's connected to crime prevention. The material was gathered from five semi-structured interviews and the result from these was analyzed with previous studies on the subject as well as rational choice theory, broken windows theory and organizational learning theory. The result showed that difficulties related to lack of resources was a clear theme in all the interviews. This is primarily connected to a need for more investigators in the relevant sections as well as a broader set of skills, knowledge and experience distributed over the entire workforce. Furthermore, the study showed that there is a problem regarding getting witnesses to give their statements to the police during investigations of lethal violence in criminal environments. Finally, greater legal possibilities regarding surveillance were identified as a part of the result.

\"Alterações na função renal em pacientes HIV/AIDS tratados com esquemas terapêuticos incluindo indinavir\" / Alterations in renal function in HIV/AIDS patients treated with therapeutic regimens including indinavir

Eira, Margareth da 08 July 2004 (has links)
Complicações renais e urológicas incluindo nefrolitíase, cristalúria, cólica renal e lombalgia, são eventos adversos bem conhecidos do indinavir (IDV), um inibidor de protease (IP) largamente utilizado no tratamento de pacientes infectados com o vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV). Prévios estudos em ratos demonstraram que o IDV, um potente IP capaz de provocar uma sustentada supressão da carga viral do HIV, induz vasoconstricção renal, diminui a filtração glomerular (RFG) e reduz a excreção urinária de nitrito (NO2-), sugerindo que a vasoconstricção causada pelo IDV deve ser mediada pelo óxido nítrico (NO). Os objetivos deste estudo foram investigar a ocorrência de insuficiência renal (clearance de creatinina < 80ml/min) em pacientes com infecção pelo HIV tratados com terapia anti-retroviral altamente potente incluindo o inibidor de protease IDV, e mensurar a excreção urinária de nitrato (NO3-) nestes pacientes, comparando-os com outro grupo de pacientes tratados com efavirenz (EFV), um inibidor de transcriptase reversa não-análogo de nucleosídeo (NNRTI). No período compreendido entre março de 2000 e outubro de 2003, estudamos 36 pacientes infectados pelo HIV que estavam em terapia com IDV na dose de 800 mg de 8/8 horas por pelo menos 12 meses. Os pacientes foram avaliados para uma variedade de parâmetros clínicos e laboratoriais: idade, peso, tempo de infecção, tempo de uso de IDV, uso de sulfametoxazol-trimetoprim (SMX-TMP) ou sulfadiazina, exames bioquímicos (colesterol total, triglicérides, magnésio, sódio, potássio e creatinina), exame do sedimento urinário, clearance de creatinina, osmolaridade urinária, volume urinário de 24 h, fração de excreção de sódio (FENa), fração de excreção de potássio (FEK) e fração de excreção de água (FEH2O). NO3 urinário foi mensurado em 18 pacientes recebendo terapia anti-retroviral com IDV e 8 pacientes recebendo terapia com EFV. Leucocitúria ocorreu em 78.8% dos pacientes tratados com IDV. Clearance de creatinina diminuído foi observado em 21 pacientes e foi associado com menor peso e uso de derivados de sulfa. Nestes pacientes com diminuição da função renal, também detectamos menor osmolaridade urinária e uma FEH2O mais alta. A excreção urinária de NO3- foi significativamente menor nos pacientes tratados com IDV (908 ± 181) quando comparados aos pacientes do grupo EFV (2247 ± 648, p<0.01). Nossos resultados mostram que insuficiência renal ocorreu em 58% dos pacientes tratados com IDV e foi associada com menor peso corpóreo e uso de derivados de sulfa. A menor excreção urinária de NO3- e as alterações na osmolaridade e FEH2O sugerem que o IDV diminui a produção de óxido nítrico e causa dano tubular, respectivamente. Sugerimos então que os pacientes em uso de IDV sejam monitorados routineiramente para função renal através do clearance de creatinina. / Renal and urological complications including nephrolithiasis, crystalluria, renal colic and flank pain are significant side effects of the HIV protease inhibitor indinavir (IDV), and IDV has been widely used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Previous studies in rats demonstrated that IDV, a potent protease inhibitor that causes profound and sustained supression of HIV replication, also induces renal vasoconstriction, decreases glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and reduces urinary excretion of nitrite (NO2-), suggesting that IDV-vasoconstriction may be mediated by nitric oxide (NO). The objectives of this study were to investigate the occurrence of renal failure (creatinine clearance <80ml/min) in human HIV patients treated with highy active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), including IDV, and to measure urinary excretion of nitrate (NO3-) in those patients, comparing it with that of another group of patients treated with the non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor efavirenz (EFV). From March 2000 through October 2003, we evaluated 36 patients infected with HIV who was receiving IDV 800 mg q8h for at least 12 months. The patients were assessed for a variety of clinical and laboratory parameters including age, body weight, duration of infection, time of IDV treatment, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) or sulfadiazine use, biochemistry (total cholesterol, triglycerides, magnesium, sodium, potassium and creatinine), urinalysis, creatinine clearance, urine osmolality, 24-hour urine volume, fractional excretion of sodium (FENa), potassium (FEK) and water (FEH2O). Urinary NO3 was measured in 18 IDV-treated patients and compared with that of 8 EFV-treated patients. Leukocyturia occurred in 78.8% of the IDV-treated patients. Reduced creatinine clearance was observed in 21 patients and was associated with lower body weight and sulfa-derivated use. In these renal failure patients, we also detected a lower osmolality and a higher FEH2O. Excretion of NO3- was significantly lower in IDV-treated patients (908 ± 181) than in EFV-treated patients (2247 ± 648, p<0.01). Our data show that renal failure occurred in 58% of IDV-treated patients and was associated with lower body weight and sulfa administration. The lower NO3- excretion suggests that this drug decreases nitric oxide production, and the alterations in osmolality and FEH2O indicate that it also causes tubular damage. Based on our findings, we suggest that the renal function of patients under IDV treatment should be closely monitored with creatinine clearance.

Pharmacokinetics of Moricizine in Young Patients

Rice, P J., LeClair, I O., Stone, W L., Mehta, A. V 01 October 1995 (has links)
Moricizine is a novel phenothiazine antiarrhythmic agent that depresses the activity of ectopic foci, has a low incidence of adverse effects relative to other agents, and is useful in treating pediatric atrial ectopic tachycardia. A study was conducted to determine the pharmacokinetics of moricizine in children after oral administration. Moricizine was isolated from frozen serum obtained from four male patients (ages 7, 8, 9, and 18 years) receiving the drug for supraventricular tachycardia and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection according to an established protocol. Peak serum levels were between 400 and 2000 ng/mL. Elimination of moricizine did not follow simple single-compartment pharmacokinetics. In three patients we observed an increase or slower decline in blood level occurring after 4 hours. Because of the paroxysmal nature of the tachycardias, decreases in patient heart rate could not be correlated with moricizine blood level. These results suggest that the pediatric pharmacokinetics of moricizine excretion are complex and may differ from those seen in adults.
