- Objective: To investigate the organisation of primary health care with regard to management of asthma and COPD and relate it to the guidelines and quality indicators for organisation stated by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare and to an earlier study in the area. Background: The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare assessed quality indicators for the organisation and equipment for asthma and COPD in primary health care in 2004. These are spirometer, pulse oximeter for assessing respiratory impairment, nebuliser for emergency treatment and an asthma/COPD clinic for patient education. Method: A postal survey in 2005 to 56 randomly selected primary health care centres in Mid-Sweden. The survey included questions about access to an asthma/COPD clinic, spirometer, pulse oximeter, nebuliser, organisation for smoking cessation and rehabilitation. Results: All centres answered the survey. 93% had a spirometer, 83% pulse oximeter, 90% nebuliser and 64% asthma/COPD clinic. 65% had access to a program for smoking cessation within primary care. Regarding resources for COPD patients 63% centres had access to physiotherapy, 71% to occupational therapy, 41% to a dietician and 93% to a social welfare official or psychologist. Conclusion: The possibilities to offer patients with asthma and COPD sufficient care is good regarding access to diagnostic tools as spirometers and pulse oximeters and nebulisers, while access to education through an asthma/COPD clinic is insufficient. Compared to the results from the AIM-study in 2000 primary health care centres with asthma clinics have increased from 52% to 64% and access to spirometer from 76% to 93%. Only two-thirds of the centres can offer a program for smoking cessation which is insufficient. The study shows that many centres have the resources to start pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with COPD.

- The goal of this study was to investigate the applicability of asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation-multi-angle light scattering (AsFIFFFMALS) for size analysis of green fluorescent protein inclusion bodies (GFPIBs). The size distributions of GFPIBs prepared by various culture conditions were determined. For GFPIBs prepared at 37 degrees C the peak maximum hydrodynamic diameter (dH) first increased and then decreased with the increase of the induction times in the presence of 0.1 and 2 mM isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). For GFPIBs prepared at 30 degrees C the peak maximum dH was constant at about 700 nm irrespectively of the induction times and IPTG concentrations.

Scanning spreading resistance microscopy of aluminum implanted 4H-SiC

- Results from the application of scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM) for characterization of aluminum implanted 4H-SiC are presented. The implanted profiles are investigated electrically and morphologically as a function of post-implantation anneal conditions. The method is shown to be advantageous for measuring and optimizing the activation in many aspects with respect to existing alternative techniques: it provides information of the entire depth and Al concentration range, it is unaffected by annealing induced re-growth and/or surface roughening, and requires little sample preparation. The results indicate that the apparent activation and surface roughness do not saturate in the investigated temperature range of 1500-1650 °C. Finally, an apparent activation energy for the process of 3 eV is estimated. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
