Call the on-Call: Authentic Team Training on an Interprofessional Training Ward - A Case Study.

Purpose: There is a disconnect between how healthcare teams commonly are trained and how they act in reality. The purpose with this paper was to present a learning activity that prepares healthcare students to authentic teamwork where team members are fluent and move between different localities, and to explore how this setting affects learning.

Methods: A learning activity "Call the On-Call" consisting of two elements, workplace team training where team members are separated into different locations, and a telephone communication exercise, was created.

An Experimental Model for the Study of Underwater Pressure Waves on the Central Nervous System in Rodents: A Feasibility Study.

Underwater blast differs from blast in air. The increased density and viscosity of water relative to air cause injuries to occur almost exclusively as primary blast, and may cause disorientation in a diver, which may lead to inability to protect the airway and cause drowning. However, cognitive impairments from under water blast wave exposure have not been properly investigated, and no experimental model has been described.

Do postoperative complications correlate to chronic pain following inguinal hernia repair? A prospective cohort study from the Swedish Hernia Register.

Purpose: To analyse if postoperative complications constitute a predictor for the risk of developing long-term groin pain.

Methods: Population-based prospective cohort study of 30,659 patients operated for inguinal hernia 2015-2017 included in the Swedish Hernia Register. Registered post-operative complications were categorised into hematomas, surgical site infections, seromas, urinary tract complications, and acute post-operative pain.

An Interprofessional E-Learning Resource to Prepare Students for Clinical Practice in the Operating Room-A Mixed Method Study from the Students' Perspective.

The operating room is a challenging learning environment for many students. Preparedness for practice is important as perceived stress and the fear of making mistakes are known to hamper learning. The aim was to evaluate students' perspectives of an e-learning resource for achieving preparedness.

Is out-of-hours cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis associated with complications?

Background: Existing data on the safety of out-of-hours cholecystectomy are conflicting. The aim of this study was to investigate whether out-of-hours cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is associated with a higher risk for complications compared with surgery during office hours.

Methods: This was a population-based cohort study.

Feasibility of pleural and perilesional subcutaneous microdialysis to assess porcine experimental pulmonary contusion.

Severe thoracic trauma affects 55% of patients with multiple traumatic injuries and may lead to acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Pulmonary trauma differs clinically and biologically from lung injury of other origins and carries a mortality rate of 10%. Treatment options are limited, and it is not possible to monitor the progression of lung injury with specific biomarkers.

Call the On-Call: a study of student learning on an interprofessional training ward.

Interprofessional training wards are designed to train students' team and communication competences. Such wards are generally highly valued clinical placements by undergraduate students; however, evidence in the literature suggests that medical students experience a lack of profession-specific tasks on these wards. Moreover, students lack structured training in the complexities of everyday communication where different health professions rarely are present together in stable teams.

Secular Trends in Pubertal Growth Acceleration in Swedish Boys Born From 1947 to 1996.

Importance: A secular trend for earlier menarcheal age has been established in girls but there are few studies of pubertal timing for boys.

Objective: To determine if there is a secular trend for earlier pubertal timing among boys.

Design, Setting, And Participants: For this population-based retrospective cohort study conducted in Gothenburg, Sweden, we collected heights and weights from school health records for boys born consecutively from January 1 and onwards in 1947 and every 5 years from 1951 to 1996 (n = 375 for each birth cohort from 1947-1991, n = 340 for the birth cohort in 1996, and n = 4090 for the total cohort).

Folate pathway genes linked to mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration are associated with outcome of patients with stage III colorectal cancer.

5-fluorouracil in combination with the folate leucovorin is the cornerstone in treatment of colorectal cancer. Transport of leucovorin into cells, and subsequent metabolic action, require expression of several genes. The aim was to analyze if tumoral expression of genes putatively involved in leucovorin transport, polyglutamation, or metabolism was associated with outcome of patients with stage III colorectal cancer treated with adjuvant chemotherapy.

Antidepressant treatment among social workers, human service professionals, and non-human service professionals: A multi-cohort study in Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

Methods: We linked records from drug prescription registers to three prospective cohorts: the Finnish Public Sector study, years 2006-2011, and nation-wide cohorts in Sweden and Denmark, years 2006-2014, including a total of 1.

Secular trends of birthweight in boys from 1950 to 2010.

Background: Birthweight is an indicator of fetal development and intrauterine conditions and is associated with future health outcomes. Secular birthweight trends prior to the 1970s are mostly unknown. Our aim was to explore secular birthweight trends in Swedish boys from 1950 to 2010.

The Short-Form Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (sf-IPQ): An Instrument for Rating Groin Pain After Inguinal Hernia Surgery in Daily Clinical Practice.

Background: The Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (IPQ) is a standardised and validated instrument for assessing persisting pain after groin hernia surgery. The IPQ is often perceived as being too extensive for routine use. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a condensed version of the IPQ in order to facilitate its use in daily clinical practice.

BMI change during puberty and the risk of heart failure.

Aim: Hospitalization for heart failure amongst younger men has increased. The reason for this is unknown but it coincides with the obesity epidemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between childhood BMI (Body Mass Index) and BMI change during puberty for risk of adult heart failure in men.

An interprofessional initiative aimed at creating a common learning resource for the operating room ward.

Every semester, the operating room (OR) ward receives students from different educational programmes. Although interprofessional knowledge is essential for OR teamwork, students have traditionally been prepared in an uniprofessional manner, with no focus on interprofessional learning outcomes. This report describes the work process of an interprofessional initiative undertaken to create a common learning resource aimed at preparing students for OR practice.

Transcatheter Arterial Embolization Compared With Surgery for Uncontrolled Peptic Ulcer Bleeding: A Population-based Cohort Study.

Association between excessive BMI increase during puberty and risk of cardiovascular mortality in adult men: a population-based cohort study.

Background: Being overweight during childhood and adolescence is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood, but the relative contribution of prepubertal childhood BMI and BMI change during puberty to adult mortality due to cardiovascular disease is unknown. We assessed the contribution of these two distinct developmental BMI parameters for cardiovascular mortality in adult men.

Methods: As a part of the ongoing population-based BMI Epidemiology Study (BEST) in Gothenburg, Sweden, men born between 1945 and 1961 with information on both their childhood BMI at age 8 years and BMI change during puberty were included in the study and followed up until December, 2013.

Cellular High-Energy Cavitation Trauma - Description of a Novel In Vitro Trauma Model in Three Different Cell Types.

The mechanisms involved in traumatic brain injury have yet to be fully characterized. One mechanism that, especially in high-energy trauma, could be of importance is cavitation. Cavitation can be described as a process of vaporization, bubble generation, and bubble implosion as a result of a decrease and subsequent increase in pressure.

Expression of Folate Pathway Genes in Stage III Colorectal Cancer Correlates with Recurrence Status Following Adjuvant Bolus 5-FU-Based Chemotherapy.

Colorectal cancer is commonly treated with 5-fluorouracil and 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (leucovorin). Metabolic action of leucovorin requires several enzymatic steps that are dependent on expression of corresponding coding genes. To identify folate pathway genes with possible impact on leucovorin metabolism, a retrospective study was performed on 193 patients with stage III colorectal cancer.
