Snowmobile, motorcycle and moose-car accidents : aspects on injury control
- 1985
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Injuries related to snowmobiles, motorcycles and moose-car collisions have increased. The aim of the present thesis was to analyse mechanisms and consequences in fatal and non-fatal accidents of these types, and to penetrate possible preventive measures.SnowmobilesThe median age of the injured was 30 and of the killed 32, males predominating. A majority of the accidents occurred during weekends, and especially the fatal accidents occurred after dark. The extremities were the most commonly injured parts of the body, however, drowning, crushed chest and cranial injuries caused most of the fatalities. Among the fatalities, four out of five were under the influence of alcohol. The present Swedish laws regarding snowmobiles seem well motivated. "Built-in" safety measures in the construction of the snowmobiles, properly designed snowmobile tracks and functional search and rescue systems could reduce the injuries.MotorcyclesThe median age was 19 years for both the traffic injured and the killed. Half of the traffic accidents were collisions with other motor vehicles. In the fatally injured group, also collisions with fixed roadside objects were common. Of the fatally injured, more than every fifth person died in an accident where alcohol was an influential factor. In the injured group, lower extremity injuries (especially in off-road riding) were common and among the fatalities most riders died from injuries to the head or chest. Out of one thousand motorcycle riders interviewed, 45% reported wobbling experiences (8% reported severe wobbling). Possible injury reducing measures include increasing the licensing age, more discriminating driving test, "built-in" restriction of the motorcycle's top speed, elimination of motorcycles prone to wobbling, and a more intensive traffic supervision (speeding, alcohol).Moose-car collisitionsThe median age of the drivers was 38 years. Most collisions happened at dusk or when dark (3/4). The median collision speed was 70 km/h. The damage to the car was typical, the roof and the windshield pillars were deformed downwards and backwards. The broken windshield was often pressed into the passenger compartment. Most of the injured car occupants suffered cuts predominantly to the head and upper extremities. Nearly all the fatally injured died of head and neck injuries. The injuries may be reduced by strengthening the roof and the windshield pillars, and by introducing anti 1 acerati ve windshields.

Can severe language disorders be identified before age 3;6?
- 1996

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A new classification system indicating type and severity of language disorder was applied by five speech pathologists. They independently interpreted information from the initial language assessment of 39 children with developmental language disorder (DLD), who had been assessed by one of the present authors before age 3;6. Information about planned intervention was also collected. The children were reassessed 18 months later. The amount of language therapy the children had received was calculated and related to the type and severity of the language disorder. Our results indicate that the DLD children, who initially had general language problems performed worse on reassessment than children with expressive problems. More extensive intervention programmes were planned for the children with general DLD. According to follow-up data they had, however, not received more therapy than children with more restricted disorders.

Purification of a Ca2+-activated protease from rat erythrocytes and its possible effect on pyruvate kinase in vivo
- 1981
-
In: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta-Enzymology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0005-2744. ; 660:1, s. 96-101
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A Ca2+-activated protease with [32P]phosphopyruvate kinase as substrate was purified to about 50% from rat erythrocytes. The purification involved chromatography on Sepharose/Sephadex gels, DEAE-cellulose and (NH4)2SO4 precipitation. The protease required 3.3 mM Ca2+ for full activity. When pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) was purified from erythrocytes incubated with [32P]phosphate it contained 0.5 mol [32P]phosphate/mol enzyme subunit. When 3.3 mM Ca2+ were added at hemolysis this incorporation decreased. The possible importance of this Ca2+-activated protease for the regulation of pyruvate kinase in erythrocytes is discussed.

The in vitro modification of phosphorylated pyruvate kinase by a Ca2+-activated protease from rat liver
- 1980
-
In: Acta Chemica Scandinavica. - : Danish Chemical Society. - 0904-213X .- 1902-3103. ; 34:6, s. 419-422
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A Ca/+-activated protease from rat liver cell sap was prepared. It was shown to act on rat liver pyruvate kinase that had been phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, the activity being optimum at neutral pH. The modified pyruvate kinase had the same Vmax as the phosphoenzyme but showed a lower affinity for the substrate phosphoenolpyruvate. The possibility that this proteolytic attack is the step that initiates further degradation in the cell is discussed.

Information to the patient : an attempt to satisfy the patient's need for information
- 1986
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Dissatisfaction with medical information is a common problem among patients. There is also evidence that patients lack information that physicians believe they have given to the patient. The aims of this study were to 1) survey patients' subjective need for, and satisfaction with, the information that they received during their hospital stay 2) develop and evaluate systematic routines for giving information to the patients and also communication and collaboration between the medical and nursing staff concerning the satisfaction of the patients' need for information.The study was an intervention project and the research perspective was organizational psychology.Survey study. The patients experienced a considerable need for medical information, especially about the examination results and prognosis. The patients' need for information regarding prognosis was the least satisfied.Intervention 1. A general improvement of the information to the patients occurred when the systematic routines were established. The patients' subjective need for information was unchanged throughout two years. Their satisfaction with information, after an initial improvement, did not increase throughout these two years. There was low correlation between the patients' and their physicians' estimations concerning the patients' need for information on diagnosis, prognosis and examination results. Likewise, concerning the adequacy of that information.Intervention 2. Communication and collaboration between the medical and nursing staff included a system for assessment and solution of the patients' information problems. Problem-solving took place at a multidisciplinary team conference (MTC). Medical problems were better elucidated than the patients' psychological problems. After training of registered nurses (RN) as conference chairpersons, the patients need for information was better understood. The staff reported 42 information problems after training compared to two before. For half of the information problems decisions were discussed on steps to be taken in order to satisfy the patients' need for information. A year after the system for assessment and solution of information problems was established, the patients were more satisfied with information about examinations and their results and on information about medication (p< 0.05). Further, new norms for the patients' need for information were established and a change was initiated.The results are discussed with regard to how and why patients' shall have information, by whom and to whom information shall be given, when and where information shall be given and which content it shall have.

Grammatical Characteristics Of Swedish Children With Sli
- 1995
-
In: Journal of Speech and Hearing Research. - 0022-4685. ; 38:3, s. 589-598
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Spontaneous speech samples from 10 Swedish children were collected and analyzed grammatically. The subjects consisted of 5 children with SLI and 5 MLU matched controls with normal grammatical development. The children with SLI differed significantly from the controls in their more restricted usage of word order patterns and in number of grammatical errors. As in studies on English-speaking children with SLI, the Swedish children with SLI had a large number of omissions of grammatical morphemes. Verb-related errors were more common than noun-related errors. Contrary to reports on children with SLI acquiring other languages, however, word order errors were also very common in the Swedish children with SLI. A restricted usage of word order patterns in combination with errors of word order indicates that not only morphological deficits but also syntactic difficulties can be found in children with SLI relative to MLU controls, depending on the target language. The findings show the importance of cross-linguistic comparisons of children with SLI.
