Att leva med hjärtsjukdom. En kvalitativ studie av patienters upplevelser.
Hjärt-kärlsjukdom är idag en av de största folksjukdomarna i Sverige med högst mortalitet till följd. Flera studier visar att uppföljning av patienter, informationsbehov och stöd till patienter efter utskrivning från sjukhusen till primärvården är otillfredsställande. Det finns endast ett fåtal studier som visar på patienternas egna upplevelser av att leva med hjärtinfarkt. För att kunna förbättra vården till dessa patienter är det viktigt att ta del av patienternas egna upplevelser av att leva med en hjärtsjukdom.
Syftet med studien är att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att leva med hjärtsjukdom ur ett patient- och livsvärldsperspektiv. Metoden i studien är kvalitativ intervju.
Förekomst av MyBP-C mutationer hos katter med hypertrofisk kardiomyopati :
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most commonly diagnosed cardiac disease in cats. The phenotype varies from mild focal thickening to severe concentric hypertrophy at the left ventricle. Two separate myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3) mutations have been identified in Maine coon cats (A31P and A74T) and one in Ragdoll cats. All three of them seem to cause familial HCM in an autosomal dominant pattern.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of these three mutations in population cats of different breeds with HCM in Sweden. The results may show if HCM is present in the absence of these mutations.

Broiler production in Zambia - management, growth, diseases and welfare
Successful broiler production in hot climates requires knowledge of how birds are affected by heat stress. It is important with access to water and good ventilation to facilitate coping with the heat. It may be useful to reduce the consumption of feed during the hottest hours of the days, which together with a few hours of extra light available could improve both productivity and animal welfare.
The vision in birds is superior to that of humans and most other mammals. Continuous light and light with low intensity can cause eye injuries, affect the eye development in young chicken negatively, as well as provide increased incidence of foot pad lesions. Access to light affects the production but also the welfare of birds.
