- Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) is recommended as an efficient treatment alternative for depression in primary care. However, only few previous studies have been conducted at primary care centers (PCCs). We evaluated long-term effects of ICBT treatment for depression compared to treatment as usual (TAU) in primary care settings.Randomized controlled trial.Patients were enrolled at16 PCCs in south-west Sweden.Patients attending PCCs and diagnosed with depression (n=90).Patients were assessed by a primary care psychologist/psychotherapist and randomized to ICBT or TAU. The ICBT included an ICBT program consisting of seven modules and weekly therapist e-mail or telephone support during the 3-month treatment period.Questionnaires on depressive symptoms (BDI-II), quality of life (EQ-5D) and psychological distress (GHQ-12) were administered at baseline, with follow-ups at 3, 6 and 12 months. Antidepressants and sedatives use, sick leave and PCC contacts were registered.Intra-individual change in depressive symptoms did not differ between the ICBT group and the TAU group during the treatment period or across the follow-up periods. At 3-month follow-up, significantly fewer patients in ICBT were on antidepressants. However, the difference leveled out at later follow-ups. There were no differences between the groups concerning psychological distress, sick leave or quality of life, except for a larger improvement in quality of life in the TAU group during the 0- to 6-month period.ICBT with weekly minimal therapist support in primary care can be equally effective as TAU among depressed patients also over a 12-month period.The trial was registered in the Swedish Registry, researchweb.org, ID number 30511.

The effect of mandibular advancement device on pharyngeal airway dimension in patients with congestive heart failure treated for sleep apnoea.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Continues positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recommended for treatment of sleep apnoea (SA) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) but is not easily tolerated resulting in poor patient compliance. Mandibular advancement device (MAD) is designed to inhibit pharyngeal airway (PAW) obstruction and may be a valuable alternative. It has been proposed that MAD exerts its effect by increasing PAW dimensions. This has not, however, been clearly demonstrated. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of MAD on PAW dimensions and SA in patients with CHF. Seventeen CHF-patients with mild to moderate heart failure, aged 68 +/- 6 years, (mean +/- SD), range 54-75 years, with sleep apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) > or = 10 were evaluated. PAW dimensions were studied with and without the MAD, using lateral radiographs in supine position. Nocturnal breathing patterns were studied using a portable polysomnographic device during a single night with and without MAD. A reduction of AHI > or = 30% (arbitrary level) for each individual was regarded as a successful treatment. Mean AHI was reduced from 25.1 +/- 9.4 to 14.7 +/- 9.7 (p = 0.003). The PAW increased in its inferior section in 13 patients (p = 0.0001). AHI decreased > or = 30% in 9 patients (p = 0.003) of whom 8 showed increased PAW dimensions. Reduction of AHI was not significantly related to increased PAW dimensions. In conclusion MAD increased PAW dimensions and reduced SA in patients with CHF. The results may indicate that MAD reduces SA by other mechanism than increasing PAW dimensions.

- 2022
-
Artistic workabstract
- Utställningen Ett bibliotek i takt med tiden: Linköpings universitetsbibliotek under 50 år skildrade bibliotekets historia och biblioteksteknikens utveckling från 1970-talet till idag.Utställningen fokuserade på olika teman som varit signifikativa för Linköpings universitetsbibliotek, som etablerades 1969 som Linköpings högskolas bibliotek. Dessa teman var den så kallade Linköpingsmodellen och dess kvartersbibliotek, försöksverksamheten med bibliotekssystemet Libris i början av 1970-talet, de första databaserna för att söka vetenskapliga publikationer, högskolereformen 1977 och dess betydelse för universitetsbiblioteket, tillkomsten av Hälsouniversitetets bibliotek 1986, datoriseringen under 1980-talet, användarundervisningens utveckling, tillkomsten av det elektroniska förlaget LiU E-Press 1996, skapande av Campus Norrköpings bibliotek 1998, den tilltagande digitaliseringen under 2000-talet, bibliometrins ökande betydelse samt utvecklingen under 2010-talet med bland annat byte av klassifikationssystem, flyttar och sammanslagningar av bibliotek.

Sensitization pattern to inhalant and food allergens in symptomatic children at first evaluation
- 2015

In: The Italian Journal of Pediatrics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1720-8424 .- 1824-7288. ; 41

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Data on specific IgE sensitization prevalence in children with allergy-like symptoms seen in the primary care setting are rare. Early diagnosis of allergic diseases is important to prevent clinical manifestations, exacerbations or expansion of allergic diseases to other organ systems. The present study aims to assess the usefulness of early serological diagnosis in children with common allergic symptoms. Methods: 532 children (<15 years of age), with at least one of ten allergy-like symptoms, from 21 primary care centers in two geographic areas of Italy and Spain were included in the study. Patients were tested with, either Phadiatop (R) Infant (0-5 years of age) or Phadiatop (R) and food mix (fx5e) (>5 years of age) to discriminate atopic from non-atopic subjects. A blood sample of atopic subjects was taken for additional 6-26 specific IgE antibody determinations from a predefined panel using the ImmunoCAP (R) System. Results: 267 children (50.2 %) were positive in the initial test and were classified as atopic. 14 % were mono-sensitized, 37 % were sensitized to 2-3 allergens and 49 % to more than 3 allergens. The average number of symptoms in the atopic group was 3.3 vs 2.8 in the non-atopic group. The prevalence of sensitization to single allergens was highest for grass and ragweed pollen and house-dust mites (19-28 %). Sensitization to tree allergens was highest for olive tree (16.5 %). Cow's milk and egg white were the most sensitizing foods (similar to 15 %). Food allergen sensitization predominated in younger children (OR = 2.8) whereas the inverse occurred with inhalant allergens (OR = 2.5 to 5.6). A significant positive correlation between patient age and the number of sensitizations was found. Conclusions: Specific IgE sensitization in children with allergy-like symptoms is common. Multiple sensitization is predominating. Number of clinical symptoms was higher in the atopic group compared to the non-atopic without a correlation with the number of positive allergens. Age seems to play a crucial role in the development of sensitization with a significant positive correlation between patient age and the number of sensitizations.

Generating FMUs for the Feature-Based Language Bloqqi
- 2018
-
In: Proceedings of the 2nd Japanese Modelica Conference. - : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 1650-3686. - 9789176852668 ; , s. 245-254

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper, we describe how we generate Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs) for the automation block language Bloqqi. This allows Bloqqi control programs to be tested with simulations of the physical processes they control. The physical process can be specified in any tool that supports the Functional Mockup-Interface (FMI) standard. For example, we have successfully run Bloqqi programs together with Modelica models exported as FMUs. Bloqqi programs execute at discrete times, and we describe how this is handled in the implementation of the DoStep function, specified in the standard.

Context and Methodological Decontextualisation in Nursing Research with Examples from Phenomenography
- 2000

In: Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences. - : Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd.. - 0283-9318 .- 1471-6712. ; 14:1, s. 37-43

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In both human science and nursing research the concept of context is important. However, context can be understood in different ways. The aim of this article is to elucidate, discuss and problematize context, decontextualization and recontextualization in some health care-related phenomenographical studies. A further aim is to problematize the concet of context in a wider perspective of human complex ohenomena which characterize nursing research demand a broad contextual understanding. Both the local or immediate experiences of the phenomen of interest as well as the socio-cultural discourse. A balance between openness and pliability t the phenomenon is suggested. Reflection is considered an important tool in this process. Within phenomenography, the interest i s directed towards conceptions of certain aspects of the worlds. Thus, context in a wider sense is given a subordinate role. Accordingly, phenomenography is considered to have limited applicability in nursing research when complex phenomena are to be studied.
