Learn, Have Fun and Be Healthy! An Interview Study of Swedish Teenagers' Views of Participation in Club Sport.

In Sweden, participation in club sport is a vital part of many children's lives. Despite this, many stop in their teenage years, raising questions concerning if and in what ways club sport can provide health-promoting activities via longer, sustained participation. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to explore and discuss young people's views of club sport from a health-promoting perspective.

Improved employment rates after multiprofessional cross-sector cooperation in vocational rehabilitation: a 6-year follow-up with comparison groups.

The objective of this study was to better understand the long-term effects of an improved model for cooperation on employment between rehabilitation professionals in vocational rehabilitation (VR). To compare these effects with those associated with the traditional model of cooperation. The study featured a group of patients who participated in a developmental project.

Multi-professional vocational rehabilitation group meetings with female clients: a qualitative study.

Many women require vocational rehabilitation before they can return to work. The objective with the present study was to describe female clients' situation during the rehabilitation process, as it became apparent during the rehabilitation meetings with the various actors involved. The clients' diagnoses varied, but the majority was affected with musculoskeletal disorders.

The views of sick-listed employees' immediate superiors on co-operation in vocational rehabilitation.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to investigate the views of sick-listed employees' immediate superiors on co-operation in vocational rehabilitation before and during a systematic, multi-professional, client-centred, solution-oriented co-operation project in vocational rehabilitation (SMVR intervention).

Method: A same-subject study with a questionnaire was used, with 95 immediate superiors giving their views on co-operation both before and during the SMVR intervention.

Results And Conclusions: The immediate superiors felt that the SMVR intervention was successful in promoting co-operation, and reported a significant decrease in referrals of employees from one organisation to another without the problem being resolved.

Effects on work resumption of a co-operation project in vocational rehabilitation. Systematic, multi-professional, client-centred and solution-oriented co-operation.

Purpose: The present aim was to evaluate the effect of systematic multi-professional co-ordinated rehabilitation (the Stockholm Co-operation Project) on the number of days' sick leave during the first and second half-years after the rehabilitation co-ordination period, compared to the year before. Another aim was to evaluate the economic effects at national level.

Method: A matched-pairs design was used.

Do systematic multiprofessional rehabilitation group meetings improve efficiency in vocational rehabilitation?

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate differences in the effects on employment between clients whose rehabilitation was coordinated in systematic multiprofessional rehabilitation group meetings and clients whose rehabilitation was coordinated in the "conventional" way.

Method: The study was based on a sample of 51 individuals who received systematic group meeting coordination. All individuals in the study group were unemployed before the rehabilitation intervention.

Ki67 and p53 immunohistochemistry reduces interobserver variation in assessment of Barrett's oesophagus.

Aims: To devise clinically applicable methods for assessing p53 and Ki67 immunohistochemical (IHC) reactivity in Barrett's oesophagus (BE) and to compare the interobserver agreement between these methods and routine haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) evaluation.

Methods And Results: One hundred and fifteen biopsies diagnosed as BE, selected from the files of the University Hospital MAS, Malmo, were re-evaluated for dysplasia by three pathologists. For IHC analysis areas with the most prominent positivity were evaluated.

Management of children with dilating vesico-ureteric reflux in Sweden.

Aim: To evaluate the management and outcome of children with dilating vesico-ureteric reflux diagnosed before 2 y of age.

Methods: This retrospective, multicentre study was part of a programme for quality assurance in Sweden. A total of 2309 unselected children, aged 0-2 y, were investigated after the first urinary tract infection.

Chronology of particle emission from the E/A=61 MeV 36Ar+27Al reaction.

The emission time chronology of neutrons, protons, and deuterons from the E/A=61 MeV 36Ar+27Al reaction is deduced from two-particle correlation functions.

Improved cooperation in vocational rehabilitation with systematic rehabilitation group meetings.

Purpose: The present aim was to investigate the communicative pattern in two rehabilitation groups. The rehabilitation group consisted of the client, a supervisor, an employer representative, an occupational health physician, a rehabilitation counsellor from the national social insurance office and a support person.

Method: Participatory observation of 22 rehabilitation meetings.

Successful treatment of restless legs syndrome with an implanted pump for intrathecal drug delivery.

Two patients with incapacitating symptoms from restless legs syndrome, not adequately responding to conventional treatment with dopaminergic drugs, were implanted with a pump device (Isomed) for intrathecal delivery of morphine and bupivacaine. The treatment resulted in total resolution of all symptoms with few side effects.

Possibility to deduce the emission time sequence of neutrons and protons from the neutron-proton correlation function.

Experimental information has been derived from the neutron-proton correlation function in order to deduce the time sequence of neutrons and protons emitted at 45 degrees in the E/A = 45 MeV 58Ni + 27Al reaction.

Studies of the radon concentration in drinking water from the horst Söderåsen in southern Sweden.

The radon activity concentration in ground water from drilled and dug wells on the horst Söderåsen in Southern Sweden has been determined with two different methods, gamma activity measurements with a germanium HPGe detector and alpha activity measurements with plastic track detectors. The results are consistent. High activity concentration is connected to granite bedrock.

Low level of bacterial contamination of mist tents used in home treatment of cystic fibrosis patients.

Mist tents are recommended by the Stockholm cystic fibrosis (CF) centre for small children with CF. Daily disinfection of some parts of the tent with 2% acetic acid is recommended, and for other parts boiling water followed by air-drying without rinsing. The plastic tent is discarded each day.

Vesico-ureteric reflux and other risk factors for renal damage: identification of high- and low-risk children.

This article reviews the literature with respect to various risk factors for permanent renal damage in children with urinary tract infection. Vesico-ureteric reflux is an important risk factor, but renal damage can occur in the absence of reflux. Renal damage does not always occur in the presence of gross reflux.

Vesico-ureteric reflux: occurrence and long-term risks.

The prevalence of vesico-ureteric reflux in the general population is unknown, but it is increased in risk groups, such as children with symptomatic urinary tract infection, schoolgirls with asymptomatic bacteriuria, first-degree relatives of patients with reflux and children with prenatal dilatation of their upper urinary tract. Children and adults with pyelonephritic renal scarring are at risk of serious long-term complications, e.g.

Imaging of renal scarring.

Children with urinary tract infection should be investigated and followed up, as those with pyelonephritis may develop renal scarring. In this review, after discussing the advantages and disadvantages of various imaging modalities for diagnosis of renal scarring, it is concluded that DMSA scintigraphy and urography can both be used to detect significant renal scarring. With DMSA scintigraphy, small renal lesions (functional uptake defects) not seen at urography will also be detected.

Minimum incidence and diagnostic rate of first urinary tract infection.

Objective: To study awareness of urinary tract infections (UTIs) by determining the diagnostic rate of first UTI in children <2 years of age and to estimate the minimum incidence.

Methods: Twenty-six of a total of 43 pediatric centers participated in the study. Sixty-four percent of the total childhood population <2 years of age was covered.

Urinary tract infections in children below two years of age: a quality assurance project in Sweden. The Swedish Pediatric Nephrology Association.
