Klinisk studenthandledning - en komplex och tidskrävande uppgiftHvarfvenius, Carola, Svegelius, Caroline January 2007 (has links)
<p>Att vara handledare idag är en naturlig del för sjuksköterskan i det dagliga arbetet. Det läggs mer ansvar än tidigare på de handledande sjuksköterskorna när det gäller studentens kliniska utbildning. Brist på tid för att handleda studenten, har varit och är fortfarande ett dilemma i klinisk studenthandledning. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa handledare, studenter och lärares sätt att se på klinisk studenthandledning samt om tid fanns för tillämpning. Litteraturstudien består av 16 artiklar som analyserades utifrån studiens syfte, vilket resulterade i tre kategorier som skildrar de inblandade parternas upplevelse av klinisk studenthandledning. Resultatet visar att upplevelsen av handledarrollen är för oklar och ostrukturerad och sjuksköterskorna upplever en tidsbrist i att handleda studenter. Lärarna upplever en konflikt i sin roll och studenterna ett dilemma med att applicera teoretisk kunskap till praktiskt färdighet. Slutsatsen är att en mer definierad och tydlig roll av handledaren ger sjuksköterskan stärkt yrkesidentitet och därmed en kvalitetssäkring för studenten i klinisk utbildning. Det är också absolut nödvändigt att avsätta mer tid för handledning, då det tar tid att lära. Fortsatt forskning behövs, för att klargöra och definiera teoretiska riktlinjer till praktisk tillämpning, som underlättar och möjliggör studenthandledning.</p>

Ambulanspersonalens erfarenheter av att träna HLR : En empirisk studie / The ambulance staff´s experience of practicing CPR : An empirical studyJohansson, Elin, Backman, Gabriella January 2016 (has links)
Introduktion: Vanligaste orsaken till hjärtstopp är hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Den viktigaste åtgärden vid hjärtstopp är hjärt-lungräddning. Sjuksköterskan har ansvar att tillgodose patientens vårdbehov och kunna möta anhöriga vid hjärtstopp.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva ambulanspersonalens erfarenheter av att träna HLR vid varje arbetsskift i sex månader. Metod: Kvalitativ design med semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med hjälp av intervjuguide. Totalt deltog 18 ambulanspersonal. Data analyserades enligt en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet redovisar två kategorier, självinsikt och motivation med underkategorier, omvärdera tidigare erfarenheter, att vilja förbättras och ökad trygghet. Deltagarna hade positiva erfarenheter efter att de tränat HLR kontinuerligt. Deltagarna kom till insikt att de behövde förändra någonting och blev motiverade till att förbättras. Deltagarna ansåg sig tryggare i utförandet av HLR efter regelbunden träning. Slutsats: Genom regelbunden träning kan kunskapen i HLR upprätthållas och möjligheten ökar att fler liv kan räddas.

Melatonin and its receptors in the normal human gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumoursSöderquist, Fanny January 2017 (has links)
Melatonin, “the hormone of darkness” is well known to regulate sleep and circadian rhythm. However, melatonin is also present in numerous peripheral tissues and the number of actions assigned to this neurohormone is growing steadily. Based on animal studies, it has been proposed that gastrointestinal melatonin is produced in enterochromaffin cells. The aims were to characterise the expression of melatonin and its receptors MT1 and MT2 in normal human gastrointestinal tract and pancreas as well as in tumours derived from enterochromaffin cells, small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NET), using immunohistochemistry. Melatonin and receptor expression was furthermore compared to clinical symptoms, tumour prognostic factors and treatment response. In enterochromaffin cells from normal gastrointestinal tissue and in SI-NETs a strong immunoreactivity (IR) for melatonin and MT2 was found, while MT1 IR was low or absent. Melatonin, MT1 and MT2 IR was also seen in the large intestinal epithelium of normal gastrointestinal tract and in pancreatic islets, although the expression of MT1 in pancreatic tissue varied. Analyses of mRNA data confirmed the expression of the enzymes needed for melatonin synthesis as well as MT1 and MT2 in small intestine and pancreas. The intensity of melatonin IR in SI-NETs correlated to lower proliferation index and less symptoms of diarrhoea, which is well in line with the proposed actions of melatonin described in nimal studies. The intensity of MT2 IR was generally lower in metastases than in primary tumours. Plasma levels of melatonin in patients with SI-NETs and disease stabilisation/remission were reduced after treatment and higher levels were associated with nausea. In conclusion, melatonin and its receptors are present in the normal human gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and in SI-NETs. Melatonin IR intensity in tumours correlated significantly to less diarrhoea and to lower proliferation index. Plasma levels of melatonin in patients with SI-NETs were reduced with treatment response, indicating a possible tumour-derived origin of circulating melatonin levels. These results are in agreement with the suggested actions of melatonin on gastrointestinal motility and tumour growth.

Molecular Genetic Studies of ALSG, Kostmann Syndrome and a Novel Chromosome 10 InversionEntesarian, Miriam January 2009 (has links)
In summary, this thesis presents the localisation and identification of genetic variants of which some are disease associated and some considered to be neutral. Knowledge of the basic mechanisms behind human disorders is important both from a biological and medical point of view. The thesis is based on four papers of which the first two clarify the genetic basis of autosomal dominant aplasia of lacrimal and salivary glands (ALSG). ALSG is a rare disorder with high penetrance and variable expressivity characterized by dry mouth and eyes. In paper I, we located the ALSG gene to a 22 centiMorgan region on chromosome 5 through a genome-wide linkage scan with microsatellite markers in two families. Mutations were found in the gene encoding fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) situated in the linked chromosome 5 region. Mice having only one copy of the FGF10 gene (Fgf10+/- mice) have a phenotype similar to ALSG, providing an animal model for the disorder. In paper II, we describe two additional patients with ALSG and missense mutations in FGF10, providing further genotype-phenotype correlations. The aim of paper III was to identify a gene involved in autosomal recessive severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), also referred to as Kostmann syndrome. The disease is characterized by a very low absolute neutrophil count and recurrent bacterial infections. Affected individuals from the family with SCN originally described by Dr Kostmann were genotyped with whole-genome SNP arrays. Autozygosity mapping identified a shared haplotype spanning 1.2 Mb on chromosome 1q22. This region contained 37 known genes, of which several were associated with myelopoiesis. Our finding contributed to the identification of the gene mutated in Kostmann syndrome. In paper IV a cytogenetic inversion on chromosome 10 was mapped and characterized. Sequence- and haplotype analysis of carriers from four non-related Swedish families revealed identical inversion breakpoints and established that the rearrangement was identical by descent. A retrospective study of karyotypes together with screening of large sample sets established that the inversion is a rare and inherited chromosome variant with a broad geographical distribution in Sweden. No consistent phenotype was found associated with the inversion. Genetic research increases the understanding of our genomes and makes it possible to discover variants contributing to disease. Identification of such genetic variants further enables studies of gene function and pathogenesis. The finding of the disease associated variants in this thesis will eventually contribute to improved diagnosis, prognosis, risk assessment and a future treatment of patients.

Cardiac arrhythmias and heart rate variability in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy : A clinical study before and after liver transplantationHörnsten, Rolf January 2007 (has links)
Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), found in the northernmost counties in Sweden, is a rare, lethal and inherited amyloidosis. The disease is caused by mutated transthyretin (TTR). The mutation is characterized by an exchange of valine for methionine at position 30 (ATTRVal30Met). FAP is characterised by progressive polyneuropathy affecting both the peripheral and autonomic nervous system (ANS). Cardiac arrhythmia and autonomic disturbances are common as well as gastrointestinal symptoms: such as constipation and diarrhoea. Today, orthotopic liver transplantation (LTx) is the only treatment to stop the progression of FAP. The rationale for this is because 95% of TTR is synthesized by the liver, a liver transplantation should abolish the production of new mutated amyloidogenic TTR. The first liver transplantation for FAP was performed in Sweden 1990. Heart complications and autonomic disturbances are common in FAP patients both before and after liver transplantation. The aim of the present study was three-fold: to determine whether liver transplantation affects the natural course of cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac autonomic function; to predict the risk of ventricular arrhythmias; and to elucidate heart rate variability (HRV) patterns by power spectrum analysis and Poincaré plots. In total, ninety-seven Swedish FAP patients were included in the studies. The patients underwent 24-hours electrocardiography (Holter) recordings, and/or signal averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) and heart rate variability. The study showed that many patients developed cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances after LTx. Approximately 25 percent of patients were pacemaker treated after LTx. The SAECG recordings disclosed that many FAP patients had ventricular late potentials (LP) compared with healthy subjects, and that LP were associated with nonsustained ventricular arrhythmia. Analyses of heart rate variability (HRV) showed reduced autonomic function in the majority of patients. Some patients had high HRV with broadband power spectra and Poincaré graphs with a fan or complex pattern. These novel findings could be an indicator of ECG abnormalities (subtle atrial arrhythmia) in FAP patients instead of reflecting normal cardiac autonomic modulation. The HRV studies also showed that LTx preserves cardiac autonomic function in FAP. In conclusion, cardiac arrhythmias, late potentials and reduced heart rate variability were common in Swedish patients with FAP, whether they underwent liver transplantation or not. The absence of LP may indicate a low risk for ventricular tachycardia in FAP patients.

Characterization of IgY for Oral Immunotherapy and Prevention of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections in Cystic Fibrosis PatientsNilsson, Elin January 2009 (has links)
Chicken antibodies, commonly referred to as IgY, have several properties that make them suitable for oral treatment of infections and there is essentially no risk for development of resistance. The overall aims of this thesis were to investigate Anti-Pseudomonas IgY as prophylaxis against infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and to characterize the antibody treatment. We found that Anti-Pseudomonas IgY has affinity for P. aeruginosa flagellin, the major component of the flagellum. This is important since the flagellum is required for host invasion and establishment of infection. Flagellin induces inflammation. The main cause of morbidity and mortality among CF patients is chronic colonization of the airways with P. aeruginosa. We have studied prophylactic treatment of 17 Swedish CF patients with Anti-Pseudomonas IgY for up to twelve years. The results were compared with a control group of 23 Danish CF patients. Patients treated with IgY had 2.3 P. aeruginosa positive cultures/100 treatment months vs. 7.0 cultures/100 treatment months in the control group (p=0.028), and the time from inclusion to the first recolonization was significantly longer in the IgY-treated group (p=0.012). Lung function was preserved and patients treated with IgY had good nutritional status at the end of the study. Furthermore, other bacteria have not emerged instead of P. aeruginosa. Freeze-drying of IgY and the content of IgY preparations for oral use was investigated. Besides IgY, 26 egg yolk proteins were identified. Some of the proteins are known to have antimicrobial and immunostimulatory effects, and could have a positive additive effect to IgY treatment. Cholesterol levels were low. Conclusion: Anti-Pseudomonas IgY is a promising complement in the prevention of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in CF patients, partly explained by the fact that IgY binds to flagellin. / Felatkigt ISBN ändrat: Tidigare 978-91-554-7477-5 nu 978-91-554-7478-2

Aspects on lipoprotein lipase and atherosclerosisNeuger, Lucyna January 2005 (has links)
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyses blood lipids at the vascular endothelium. This action makes fatty acids available for tissue metabolic requirements. LPL is anchored to the endothelium by electrostatic forces and may act as a bridge connecting lipoproteins to cell surfaces. Clusters of positively charged amino acid residues in LPL interact with anionic groups on oligosaccharides covering the cell surfaces. Heparin competes with cell surface oligosaccharides for binding to LPL. Interaction of LPL with soluble and cell surface- ound oligosaccharides influences the activity and catabolism of the enzyme. LPL has a dual role in the development of atherosclerosis. Hydrolysis of lipoproteins by LPL contributes to clearance of lipids from plasma, resulting in an anti-atherogenic lipid profile. On the other hand, trough its bridging function, LPL contributes to lipoprotein retention at the endothelium and in the connective tissue of the artery wall. Furthermore LPL may stimulate uptake of lipoproteins in cells, converting them to foam cells. In this way LPL is considered to be proatherogenic. We have investigated the effects caused by a synthetic heparin analogue, RG-13577, developed for treatment of tumors by anti-angiogenesis theraphy (Paper I) and by heparin (Paper II) on the turnover and biological role of LPL. The variation of LPL activity in kidney among animal species was studied in Paper III. Localization of LPL in healthy and atherosclerotic human arteries in relation to two other heparin-binding proteins (extracellular superoxide dismutase and apolipoprotein B) was studied in Paper IV.

Anti-Collagen Type II Autoantibodies in an Acute Phenotype of Early Rheumatoid ArthritisMullazehi, Mohammed January 2009 (has links)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with systemic inflammatory features that primarily affects small peripheral joints. Type II collagen (CII), is the most abundant collagen type in joint cartilage. Antibodies against CII (anti-CII) are found in a subpopulation of RA patients. Anti-CII can form surface-bound immune complexes (IC) in inflamed joints, which might intensify joint inflammation and destruction. In this thesis I have studied the functional effects of surface-bound anti-CII–containing IC in vitro and correlated the results to clinical parameters. Anti-CII IC induced TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8 production from monocytes via FcγRIIa. Anti-CII levels were dichotomously distributed in RA patients where a small outlier group (3.3%) with very high anti-CII levels showed in vitro induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines by anti-CII-containing IC. These patients also had a distinct phenotype with elevated laboratory signs of inflammation and increased radiological erosions at the time of diagnosis. In another in vitro model, co-cultured macrophages and RA synovial fibroblasts stimulated with anti-CII IC induced the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and MMP-8, enzymes responsible for the initial cleavage of CII during cartilage degradation. This was mediated via production of TNF-α and IL-1β, and especially anti-CII IC-induced IL-1β sup-ported the production of MMP-1. The presence of anti-CII antibodies in patients with early synovitis was not predictive for future RA development. In summary, I have shown how anti-CII-containing IC may explain part of the early pathogenesis and can define a distinct clinical phenotype in RA patients with high levels of anti-CII.
