- The objective was to study living conditions of infants and their families in Scandinavia in the 1990s and to assess similarities and differences among the three Scandinavian countries. The emphasis is on health and normality rather than on diseases and other deviations from well-being. The subjects are the 869 controls in the Nordic Epidemiological SIDS study carried out between 1 September 1992 and 31 August 1995 in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The controls were matched with the 244 SIDS cases for sex, age and maternity hospital. Parents of the SIDS cases and the controls filled in the same questionnaire on family, pregnancy, delivery, the neonatal and the post-perinatal period. The most striking findings were that 99% of the mothers went to regular maternity controls, 97% to well-baby clinics and 84% breastfed exclusively. On the other hand, 11% drank alcohol more than once a month during pregnancy and 29% smoked during pregnancy. Compared to official statistics, to the extent they exist, the differences were small. The material contains valuable information on normal infant care in Scandinavia in the 1990s. Living conditions of infants in Scandinavia are similar in the three countries. Differences exist, but only to a small extent.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper is a brief compilation of some experiences from education in building crafts. The Vocational College of Crafts in Mariestad is managing the program in building crafts, besides another education in garden craft and design and third under development in practical landscape preservation. The education is part of a governmental pilot program in advanced vocational education (AVE) since 1997. Education is post-secondary, in the sense that it is a proceeding career for building workers after national upper secondary school. The aim is that the courses should combine a practical orientation with in-depth theoretical knowledge. Stressed experiences comprise both school-related items of how to find relevancy and equilibrium of subjects in the syllabus, sequence and structure of courses and pedagogy in realisation. The incitements of performing this type of education is put forward in a critical discussion about the pilot program as such and the possibilities to get the supply knowledge from employment market and academic institutions.

- Contraction of longitudinal and subendocardial myocardial muscle fibres is reflected in descent of the atrioventricular (AV) plane. The aim was therefore to determine whether beta blocker treatment with prolongation of diastole might result in improved function as reflected by AV plane movements in patients with chronic heart failure.Double blind, randomised, placebo controlled and open intervention study.University hospital.Patients with congestive heart failure: placebo controlled (n = 26) and an open protocol (n = 15).12 months of metoprolol treatment.Short axis and long axis echocardiography, invasive haemodynamics, radionuclide angiography.Recovery of systolic and diastolic function during metoprolol treatment was reflected by early changes in mean (SD) AV plane amplitude, from 5.3 (2.0)% to 7.1 (3.2)% and 7.8 (3. 1)% (at 3 and 12 months, respectively; p < 0.05). In a multivariate analysis, only the change in AV plane amplitude by three months was independently associated with improvement in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure by six months (r = 0.80, p = 0.017). Change in AV plane amplitude by three months was also a better predictor of improvement in ejection fraction by 12 months (r = 0.78, p < 0.001) than changes in radionuclide ejection fraction by three months (r = 0.34, p = 0.049).Improvement in longitudinal contraction was closely associated with a decrease in left ventricular filling pressure during metoprolol treatment. This association was stronger than changes in short axis performance or radionuclide ejection fraction, emphasising the importance of AV plane motion for left ventricular filling and systolic performance in patients with heart failure.

N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide and prognosis in patients with heart failure and preserved systolic function.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Congestive heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function is a common clinical condition. Although the prognosis in this type of heart failure is better in comparison to systolic dysfunction, prognostic markers to evaluate long-term outcome are lacking. The atrial peptide, N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide (proANP), has been shown to predict survival in patients with systolic dysfunction. We intended to evaluate the predictive capability of N-terminal proANP in patients with preserved systolic function (ejection fraction [EF] > or = 0.40).A clinical and echocardiographic examination was performed in 149 patients with idiopathic heart failure from a population-based cohort, and 84 patients were identified to have preserved systolic function, with an EF of 0.40 or greater. The patients were followed up during 7 years with regard to symptoms, treatment, hospitalization, and survival. The patients with normal EFs had greater plasma concentrations of N-terminal proANP compared with a control group, and N-terminal proANP level was an independent predictor of mortality (risk ratio, 2.44; 95% confidence interval, 1.28 to 4.67; P = .007). In addition, a high concentration of N-terminal proANP predicted an increased rate of hospitalization (50% for a level > 1,200 pmol/L versus 19% for a level < or = 1,200 pmol/L; P = .046) and a greater future dosage of diuretic (127+/-102 vs 51+/-39 mg; P = .007).N-terminal proANP level was an independent marker of increased mortality and morbidity in patients with preserved systolic function, whereas EF was not usable in this regard. It is suggested that this peptide could be used to identify clinically relevant left ventricular dysfunction in patients with EFs within the normal range.
