Mälsåker Revisited: Museum och Iscensättning. : Kungl Konsthögskolan. Restaureringskonst 2015-2016
- 2016
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Rapporten redovisar arbeten från kursen Restaureringskonst på Konsthögskolan som under läsåret 2015-2016 har arbetat med tema Museum och Iscensättning. Hur kulturmiljöer påverkas när de blir museum, hur man restaurerar för museum, hur man bevarar och utvecklar en plats för kunskapsutbyte, bildning och upplevelser. Mälsåkers slott, utanför Mariefred, förvaltat av Statens Fastighetsverk, var studieobjekt för 20 studenter, (yrkesverksamma arkitekter, antikvarier, ingenjörer, konservatorer m fl) där utbildningens olika studiemoment som uppmätning, inventering, dokumentation har tillämpats. Fältarbetet har följts av studier i historik, kulturhistorisk värdering och analyser som gett visioner och gestaltningsförslag på ny verksamhet i slottet. Rapporten presenterar förslagen, med text, skisser, foton och ritningar. Fyra olika typer av museum med varierande grad av åtgärder, förändringar och utveckling av slottet. Restaureringsexperiment redovisas utifrån traditionella och digitala dokumentationsmetoder. Dessutom finns arbeten om barockens ljus, bladguld, brandskydd, pod-radio, kraftstation, engelska parken, dekorationsmålade tak, Gustavianum, Julius Kronbergs ateljé och barockträdgård m m. Förslagen visar att det är möjligt att transformera Mälsåkers barockslott till ett museum av idag med bibehållen historik och synliga tidslager.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med detta projekt har varit att med hjälp av en intervjustudie och kunskapsgenomgång redovisahur utomhusmiljö, gemensamhetslokaler och bostäder kan utformas för att minska risken för att äldreoch personer med nedsatt funktionsförmåga blir medtagna eller dör i förtid under värmeböljor. Måletär att öka medvetenheten och intresset för anpassning av miljö och byggnader hos personer ansvarigaför samhällsplanering, bostadsbestånd, trygghets-, vård- och omsorgsboenden.Städer är normalt varmare och mindre blåsiga än det omgivande landskapet. Städernas ”varmareklimat” beror främst på den större värmelagring som kan ske i byggnader, gator, trottoarer mm,begränsat med vegetation som kan skugga och avge fukt samt aktiviteter som trafik och eldning vilketgenererar värme. Under värmeböljor ökar dödligheten mer i städer. Att leva ensam, vara sängbundenoch bo på översta våningen har visats vara riskfaktorer.Åtgärderna för att minska stadens värmeö och värmeböljornas effekter på människor brukar iblanddelas in i ”mjuka åtgärder” (information, varningssystem för värmeböljor, insatser för känsligagrupper), ”gröna åtgärder” (göra staden till en grönare miljö) och ”tekniska åtgärder” (skuggandekonstruktioner, modifiering av väggar, kylning/luftkonditionering inomhus etc.), vilka kompletterarvarandra. I vissa länder, bl. a. England, ska äldreboenden ha ett samlingsrum som kan hållas svaltäven under värmeböljor, men det är oklart vilken juridisk status som bestämmelserna har.Intervjustudien syftade till att belysa hur problemen uppfattas av personal inom äldreomsorgen iSverige. Som datainsamlingsmetod genomfördes 20 semistrukturerade intervjuer medomvårdnadspersonal i Botkyrka kommun under oktober 2011. Urvalet baserades påtillgänglighetsprincipen. Innehållsanalyser gjordes på transkriberad intervjudata och kategorier ochunderkategorier skapades utifrån återkommande teman som återfanns i texten. Slutsatserna frånstudien pekar på att de utbildnings- och informationsinsatser angående värmeböljors effekter påkänsliga grupper som riktas till personal inom äldreomsorgen borde intensifieras, samt attpersonalens kunskap om verksamheten och vårdtagarnas behov borde tas tillvara redan iplaneringsstadiet för äldreboenden.

Factors affecting hospitalization and mortality in a retrospective study of elderly patients with heart failure
- 2024

Ingår i: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. - 1471-2261. ; 24:1

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Heart failure (HF) has a high prevalence in an elderly population and leads to a substantial hospitalization and mortality. The objective of this study was to investigate factors that affect hospitalization and mortality in an elderly population. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted of HF patients aged 76–95 years residing in Region Halland, Sweden. Between 2013 and 2019, a total of 3134 patients received a novel diagnosis of HF and were subsequently monitored for one year using data from a healthcare database. The patients were categorized into HF-phenotypes according to ejection fraction (EF) and those with HF diagnose solely based on clinical criteria with no defined EF. Cox regression analysis for hospital admissions and mortality was evaluated adjusted for pharmacotherapies, healthcare utilization and clinical characteristics. Results: Echocardiogram was performed in 56% of the patients and 51% were treated with recommended HF pharmacotherapy with betablockers combined with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system inhibition. The average number of inpatient days was 10.7 while the average number of visits to primary care physician was 5.4 and 8.7 to primary care nurse respectively. A Cox regression analysis for hospital admissions and mortality revealed that an eGFR < 30 ml/min was associated with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.88 (confidence interval [CI] 1.56–2.28), elevated NT-proBNP with an HR of 2.09 (CI 1.59–2.76), diabetes with an HR of 1.31 (CI 1.13–1.52), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with an HR of 1.51 (CI 1.29–1.77). Having a primary care physician visit was associated to an HR of 0.16 (CI 0.14–0.19), and the use of recommended heart failure pharmacotherapy was associated with an HR of 0.52 (CI 0.44–0.61). Conclusions: In a Swedish elderly population with HF, factors such as advancing age, kidney dysfunction, elevated NT-proBNP levels, diabetes, and COPD were associated with an increased risk of both mortality and hospitalization. Conversely, patients who received recommended heart failure treatment and made regular visits to their primary care physician were associated with a decreased risk. This indicates that elderly patients with HF benefit from recommended HF treatment and highlights that follow-ups in primary care could be advantageous.

Inversion of the IDS gene resulting from recombination with IDS-related sequences is a common cause of the Hunter syndrome
- 1995

Ingår i: Human Molecular Genetics. - 0964-6906 .- 1460-2083. ; 4:4, s. 615-621

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have recently described the identification of a second IDS locus (IDS-2) located within 90 kb telomeric of the IDS gene (Bondeson et al. submitted). Here, we show that this region is involved in a recombination event with the IDS gene in about 13% of patients with the Hunter syndrome. Analysis of the resulting rearrangement at the molecular level showed that these patients have suffered a recombination event that results in a disruption of the IDS gene in intron 7 with an inversion of the intervening DNA. Interestingly, all of the six cases with a similar type of rearrangement showed recombination between intron 7 of the IDS gene and sequences close to exon 3 at the IDS-2 locus implying that these regions are hot spots for recombination. Analysis by nucleotide sequencing showed that the inversion is caused by recombination between homologous sequences present in the IDS gene and the IDS-2 locus. No detectable deletions or insertions were observed as a result of the recombination event. The results in this study have practical implications for diagnosis of the Hunter syndrome.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) is the cause of Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II). Here, we report a study of the human IDS locus at Xq28. An unexpected finding was an IDS-related region (IDS2) which is located on the telomeric side of the IDS gene within 80 kb. We have identified sequences in this locus that are homologous to exons 2 and 3 as well as sequences homologous to introns 2, 3 and 7 of the IDS gene. The exon 3 sequences in the IDS gene and in the IDS2 locus showed 100% identity. The overall identities of the other identified regions were 96%. A locus for DXS466 was also found to be located close to IDS2. The existence of the IDS2 locus complicates the diagnosis of mutations in genomic DNA from patients with Hunter syndrome. However, information about the IDS2 locus makes it possible to analyze the IDS gene and the IDS2 locus separately after PCR amplification.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To examine if the skin microvascular bed is altered and can be modified by enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) in patients with chronic refractory angina. Methods Twenty patients diagnosed with refractory angina were divided into EECP (n = 10) or no EECP (n = 10) groups. The data were compared to matched healthy subjects (n = 20). The cutaneous forearm microvascular blood flow was measured by Laser-Doppler flowmetry. The vascular responsiveness to iontophoretic administration of acetylcholine (ACh), sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and local skin warming were studied. Measurements of Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS)-class, blood pressure and plasma samples were registered. Results EECP patients showed reduced CCS-class compared to no EECP (P < 0.05). Both EECP and no EECP (P < 0.05) groups had decreased systolic blood pressure (SBP) as compared to SBP at baseline (P < 0.05). There was no difference in resting blood flow between the two refractory groups at baseline as well as after EECP and seven weeks of follow-up. Responses to heating, the responses to ACh and SNP in the cutaneous microcirculation were lower in both groups of refractory angina patients as compared to healthy subjects (P < 0.05). EECP patients corresponded positively to the treatment shown by reduced plasma level of soluble interleukin-2 receptor and CCS-class. Conclusions Refractory angina patients have reduced responsiveness in their cutaneous microcirculation to ACh, SNP and heat compared to healthy subjects. Although EECP reduced the CCS-class, this effect was not associated with improvements in responsiveness of the cutaneous microcirculation.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This review summarizes – with the practicing hematologist in mind – the methods used to determine measurable residual disease (MRD) in everyday practice with some future perspectives, and the current knowledge about the prognostic impact of MRD on outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia. Possible implications for choice of MRD method, timing of MRD monitoring, and guidance of therapy are discussed in general and in some detail for certain types of leukemia with specific molecular markers to monitor, including core binding factor (CBF)-leukemias and NPM1-mutated leukemias.
