Aim And Objectives: To explore challenges in everyday life for people with long-term cognitive effects of COVID-19 and whether a rehabilitation programme contributed to the remedy thereof.
Background: Healthcare systems around the world need knowledge about acute COVID-19 treatment, long-term effects exerting an impact on peoples' everyday lives, and how to remedy these.
Design: This is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach.
Background: Fear of firework noises and other loud, sudden noises (noise reactivity) is a significant problem for many dogs and may have a negative effect on both welfare and, in severe cases, the life expectancy of dogs. A wide range of behavior traits, including fear-related behaviors, have high heritability estimates in dogs. The aim of this study was to estimate genomic heritability for fear of fireworks and loud noises in dogs.

- Distichiasis is a common eye disorder in Norwegian Staffordshire bull terriers, with a prevalence of about 8.38%, which can lead to pain and possible blindness in severe cases.
- Early screenings in puppies (around eight weeks) showed a significantly lower prevalence (2.87%) than in adult dogs (18.72%), indicating that puppy screenings aren't reliable for assessing the disease.
- The study estimated heritability using pedigree and SNP data, finding that it's medium to high (0.22 to 0.47), suggesting selective breeding could help reduce the condition’s occurrence.
Objective: This study aimed to explore whether young adults with cancer have different functioning compared to older age groups with cancer.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study including 654 adults (≥18 years) with cancer. Exposure was age groups categorised as (1) young adults (n = 121) = 18-39 years; (2) middle-aged adults (n = 406) = 40-64 years; and (3) older people (n = 127) = ≥65 years.
A resource-oriented intervention addressing balance in everyday activities and quality of life in people with advanced cancer: protocol for a feasibility study.
Pilot Feasibility Stud
April 2022
Background: People with advanced cancer need to balance their resources and energy in order to experience enjoyment and quality of life in the time they have left. A resource-oriented intervention is developed targeting these aspects. The present protocol presents a feasibility study of this resource-oriented intervention in people with advanced cancer.
