- lood pressure alterations during hemodialysis were related to changes in body fluid in 14 patients with chronic renal failure. Changes in plasma volume (PV) and extracellular volume (ECV) were calculated from determinations of fluid volumes before and after hemodialysis, using 125I-albumin and 51Cr EDTA respectively. Reduction in body water was estimated from body weight changes. Weight loss was 3.3 ± 0.3 kg (range 1.8-6.0 kg). The relative reduction of fluid was greater in the ECV, 21.6 ± 3.2%, compared to plasma volume, 6.9 ± 1.8%. The reduction in systolic blood pressure was related to both absolute (r = 0.66, p < 0.05) and relative PV reduction (r = 0.72, p < 0.02). There was no correlation between blood pressure reduction and weight loss or ECV changes. Only minor alterations were found in diastolic blood pressure. Plasma volume maintenance relates to blood pressure changes. Plasma volumemonitoring could be useful for improving intradialytic hemodynamic control.

- Fluid volume changes during hemodialysis was monitored by continuous whole body impedance measurements. The fluid changes recorded using this method was compared to fluid volume changes measured in plasma water (PV) using125I-albumin, and extracellular volume (ECV) using51Cr-EDTA before and after treatment, and total body water (TBW) changes reflected by continuous bed scale monitoring. Changes in impedance correlated to TBW changes, r=0.80, p<0.001, while correlations to changes in ECV and PV were: r=0.57 and r=0.55, respectively, p<0.05. Alterations in body fluid volumes recorded with whole body impedance is best correlated to total body water changes. The use of continuous whole body impedance monitoring has been shown to offer a simple non-invasive method for recording total body water changes during hemodialysis.

[Mental disorders in Nicaragua : family perspective]

- In recent years the family perspective in Psychiatry has become more important a factor. Therefore this paper is aimed at examining the family structure of mentally disordered people in León, Nicaragua, as well as presenting the use of a Genogram in epidemiological research. 201 families were randomly selected, whose members were interviewed in two steps: a screening, and a diagnostic stage. The family map or Genogram for each family was analyzed with respect to adult and child cases, generations within the family, and other background variables.

Parasuicide in the Nordic countries.
- 1994
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian journal of social medicine. - 0300-8037. ; 22:3, s. 170-7

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article gives an account of some findings of the WHO/EURO multicentre study on parasuicide from the five Nordic centres: Helsinki (Finland), Stockholm (Sweden), and the countries of Funen (Denmark), Sø-Trøndelag (Norway) and Västerbotten (Sweden). For parasuicide patients treated in hospital in these five Nordic centres, the parasuicide rates per 100,000 inhabitants per annum were 222 for women, 213 for men and 224 for both sexes combined. In all the Nordic centres except Helsinki, women had higher parasuicide rates than men. The female/male parasuicide ratio was 1.16 for all Nordic centres. The highest parasuicide rates in the whole material were found in Helsinki, Stockholm and Funen, and the lowest in Sør-Trøndelag and Västerbotten. The highest parasuicide rates lay in the 30-39 age interval, i.e. the peak of parasuicide rates was in older age groups than previously reported. Single people, especially divorcees and those who have never been married, constitute a high-risk group in both sexes. The risk of parasuicide for single men is three times that for married men in all the Nordic centres except Sør-Trøndelag, where the risk is five times higher. The parasuicide risk for single women is twice as high as for married women except for women in Funen, where the risk for single and married women is almost equal. Exceptionally high parasuicide rates are also reported for Finnish citizens in Sweden, compared with Finns from the Helsinki centre. Parasuicide rates appear to be correlated with population density, since the densely populated areas of Helsinki, Stockholm and Funen evince higher parasuicide rates than the sparsely populated areas of Sør-Trøndelag and Västerbotten.
