Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aberrant eating behavior among 14 elderly, non-demented and 10 demented patients with Parkinson's disease was studied by means of video-recordings. The findings revealed problems in handling food on the plate, transporting food into the mouth, manipulating food in the mouth, and swallowing. Interpretations were performed based on impairments of autonomic processes, perception, cognition, emotion, and motor performance that occur in the disease.

Mätstrategistudie, DOAS-konventionella mätinstrument
- 1989
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I föreliggande rapport har punkt- och linjemätningar av luftföroreningar jämförts dels teoretiskt och dels, då så varit möjligt, genom belysande exempel från praktiska mätningar. Tonvikten i jämförelserna har legat på DOAS, men då ur utvärderingssynpunkt LIDAR-mätningar kan betraktas som en avancerad form av DOAS-mätning, har resultaten, där så varit möjligt, generaliserats att gälla även LIDAR: Av resultaten framgår, att då koncentrationsfältet av den studerade gasen varierar snabbt i tid eller rum i förhållande till vid mätningen använda mätsträckor och integrationstider, så måste försiktighet iakttagas vid tolkningen av fjärranalysdata.

Vidareutveckling och utvärdering av DOAS-tekniken för urbanluftmätning
- 1989
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- DOAS-tekniken är en optisk fjärranalysmetod för mätning av luftföroreningar. I det projekt som här avrapporteras har tekniken vidareutvecklats och utvärderats i urbanapplikationen. Ett antal olika tekniska konfigurationer har byggts upp och testats, teknikens driftmässiga aspekter har utvärderats, och tekniken har demonstrerats genom mätning av ett antal, för urbanmiljön relevanta, luftföroreningar. Omfattande parallellstudier mot etablerade metoder har framgångsrikt genomförts. Resultaten visar att tekniken fungerar och, rätt använd, kan vara ett värdefullt komplement, och i vissa applikationer ett alternativ, till konventionell teknik för urbanluftmätning. Resultaten visar också att ytterligare förbättringar och förenklingar, i såväl hård- som mjukvara, kan göras, ledande till ett enklare, tillförlitligare och billigare system.

Eating problems and nutritional status after stroke
- 1988
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Eating problems and nutritional status were studied in a consecutive series of 104 stroke patients admitted to emergency hospital care. During their stay in hospital eating problems were observed in 46 patients. Certain common types of eating problems were identified: aberrant eating behaviour as regards chewing,lokalization or swallowing, eating small amounts, hoarding of food in the mouth, leakage of food from the mouth and unawareness of eating problems. Poor nutritional status occurred in 16 % of the patients on admission and in 22 % on discharge from the stroke unit.A subgroup of 32 patients hospitalized for 21 days or longer was studied for three weeks. On at least one occasion during these three weeks a poor nutritional status was observed in 18 patients, of whom 17 had eating problems.All subjects who had eating problems during their hospital stay, plus those patients without eating problems but with neurological deficits and those living in a nursing home one year after the stroke (n=36) were selected for a longitudinal study 18 months after the onset of stroke. Eating problems were identified in 23 of these patients during their hospital stay while 21 had such problems when they were followed up.Two patients who could not eat due to severe dysphagia (after a stroke) for three years and 18 months respectively, were successfully trained to eat normally. One patient exhibited impaired oral and hypopharyngeal function and the other impaired hypo- pharyngeal function and a spastic crico-pharyngeal muscle. In both patients training in swallowing was the main remedical measure and one of them also had a myotomy of the spastic muscle.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Eating problems and nutritional status were studied in a consecutive series of patients who had had strokes. From this cohort, 32 subjects (mean age 73 years) with a hospital stay of 21 days or more are described. Eating problems were identified by direct participant observations of the patients' eating behavior, interviews on admission, inspections of the mouth, and discussions with the patients. Nutritional status was assessed by weight, triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), arm muscular circumference (AMC), plasma albumin, serum transferrin, and plasma prealbumin on admission and then weekly. Eating problems were identified in 27 patients. In a general linear hypothesis program, poor nutritional status 3 weeks after admission was found to be associated with (in decreasing order) low self-care performance, poor nutritional status on admission, male sex, intravenous energy-containing fluids, advanced age, paresis of the right arm, and eating problems. Factors other than eating problems seem to be important for undernutrition in patients with strokes during hospital stay. AD - Department

Nutritional status in patients with acute stroke
- 1988
-
Ingår i: Acta Medica Scandinavica. - : Wiley. - 0001-6101. ; 224:3, s. 217-224
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- By measuring three anthropometric variables (relative weight, triceps skinfold thickness and arm muscle circumference) and three circulating proteins (albumin, transferrin and prealbumin), nutritional status was assessed in 100 consecutive patients with acute stroke. On admission to hospital, two or more indicators showed subnormal values for 16%; this was associated with the female sex, high age and a history of atrial fibrillation. At discharge, 22% had two or more subnormal indicators. Poor nutritional status during the hospital stay appeared to be related to infections, the male sex, the intake of cardiovascular drugs and high age. Fewer of the patients with two or more subnormal nutritional indicators were able to return home than of the patients with none or one subnormal nutritional indicator. We conclude that undernutrition is not uncommon at the onset of stroke and that certain risk groups for the development of undernutrition during hospital stay can be identified.
