- PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate and relate visual function, ocular dimensions and neuropaediatric findings in adoptees from Eastern Europe. METHODS: We studied 72 of 99 children, born during 1990-95 and adopted from Eastern Europe to western Sweden during 1993-97. The children (mean age 7.5 years, range 4.8-10.5 years; 41 boys, 31 girls) were examined after a mean period of 5 years post-adoption by a multidisciplinary team. Correlations between ophthalmological findings and neuropaediatric data were analysed. RESULTS: Bivariate and regression analyses indicate a significant positive correlation between visual acuity (VA) and perceptual organization (p < 0.001), as well as between strabismus and verbal comprehension (p < 0.02). Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) was correlated with low VA (p < 0.02), subnormal stereovision (p < 0.009) and small optic discs (p < 0.02). Small head circumference was related to low VA (p < 0.015) and small optic discs (p < 0.03). Furthermore, small optic discs were related to low birthweight (p < 0.005) and preterm birth (p < 0.01). Large optic cups were correlated with poorer perceptual organization (p < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: In this group of adoptees from Eastern Europe, ophthalmological findings were correlated to neuropaediatric findings, especially those arising from prenatal adverse events resulting in growth deficiency and central nervous system damage. Therefore, it is important and valuable with an ophthalmological examination in children adopted from Eastern Europe.

Med relationen som redskap? : Om socialsekreterare, klientarbete och professionalitet i socialtjänsten
- 2018

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med denna avhandling är att belysa hur socionomer talar om relationen och dess betydelse för klientarbete inom socialtjänsten. Relationen mellan socialarbetare och klient beskrivs ofta som ett kärnområde i socialt arbete, som ”praktikens hjärta”, men ämnet är också laddat i det sociala arbetet diskurs. I debatter om evidensbaserat socialt arbete beskrivs exempelvis relationsbaserat arbete ibland som en motpol till standardiserade arbetsmetoder. I denna avhandling undersöks en del av socionomers yrkespraktik som inte alltid förknippas med goda relationer – socialt arbete i socialtjänstens myndighetsutövande praktiker. Avhandlingen har ett professionsperspektiv och socialsekreterares tal om relationens betydelse förstås i förhållande till socionomprofessionens kunskapsbas och professionella identitet. Studien bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med 20 socionomer som har erfarenhet av arbetet som socialsekreterare. Det empiriska materialet har bearbetats genom tematisk analys och med hjälp av begreppen diskretion, professionell identitet, diskursuniversum och doxa. Avhandlingen har en teoretiserande ansats och resultaten tolkas och diskuteras utifrån metaforen ”att använda relationen som redskap”. Socialsekreterarna beskriver relationen till klienterna som viktig och som något de använder i sitt arbete. I många fall handlar deras reflektioner också om rollen som socialsekreterare och om gränserna för professionalitet i socialtjänsten. Socialsekreterarna talar dock inte explicit om relationen till klienterna som professionsspecifik kunskap utan relationens positiva betydelse beskrivs som något de alltid har vetat. Resultaten i avhandlingen ger fördjupad förståelse för hur relationen, och talet om dess betydelse, kan användas som ett professionellt redskap i socialt arbete.

- Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a valuable tool for routine imaging of the pediatric brain. However, the commonly used single-shot (ss) echo-planar imaging (EPI) DWI sequence is prone to geometric distortions and T2*-blurring. This study aimed to investigate in a pediatric population the benefits of using multiplexed sensitivity-encoding (MUSE) without and with reversed polarity gradients (RPG) instead. Methods: This retrospective study compared image quality, geometric distortions, and diffusion values between three different approaches for DWI (ssEPI, MUSE, and RPG-MUSE) in 14 patients (median age = 4 (0.6–15) years, 11 males). Distortion levels were quantified and compared in two brain regions, i.e., the brain stem and the temporal lobes, using the Dice Coefficient and the Hausdorff Distance, with T2-weighted images as reference. Expected geometrical distortion was further evaluated by comparing the effective echo spacing between the DWI sequences. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were determined in the genu of the corpus callosum and the optic nerves. Two raters graded overall image quality and image distortions on a Likert scale. Results: Distortion levels assessed with Dice coefficient and Hausdorff distance were significantly lower for MUSE (p < 0.05) and RPG-MUSE (p < 0.01) compared to ssEPI. No significant difference in ADC values was observed between methods. The RPG-MUSE method was graded by one rater as significantly higher in overall image quality than ssEPI (p < 0.05) and by both raters as significantly lower in levels of image distortions than both MUSE (p < 0.05) and ssEPI (p < 0.05). These results were in agreement with the reduced effective echo spacing was that was attained with MUSE and RPG-MUSE. Conclusion: For imaging of the pediatric brain, MUSE and even more so RPG-MUSE offers both improved geometric fidelity and image quality compared to ssEPI. © 2022 The Authors
