Syftet med litteraturstudien var att undersöka förekomsten av karies och parodontit hos personer med Morbus Crohn. Metoden som användes var en allmän litteraturstudie. Materialet till litteraturstudien samlades in genom sökning i databaserna Cinahl, PubMed och ScienceDirect. De sökord som användes vid litteratursökningen i samtliga databaser var ?caries?, ?Crohn?s disease?, ?periodontal disease? och ?periodontitis?.

Crohn?s sjukdom är en kronisk, inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom som uppträder i skov. Hela magtarmkanalen kan drabbas av inflammationen, vanligast är dock ileum och colon. Orsaken är ännu okänd. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka vuxna individers upplevelser av Crohn?s sjukdom, om sjukdomen påverkar livskvaliteten samt fysiska och psykiska aspekter.

Sahlgrenska Academyat University of GothenburgDepartment of internal medicine and clinical nutritionAbstractTitle: Can exclusive enteral nutrition replace steroid treatment in pediatric Morbus Crohn?Author: Hanna Rymark Lehnér and Josephine PetterssonSupervisor: Mette AxelsenExaminer: Anna WinkvistProgramme: Dietician study programme, 180/240 ECTSType of paper: Examination paper, 15 hpDate: May 23, 2012Background: Morbus Crohn is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease which periodically causes great suffering for the patient. There is solid scientific evidence that treatment with steroids effectively induces and preserves remission. However, side effects are many and a great risk for stunted growth and skeletal development exists in children. A widespread view is that exclusive enteral nutrition is as effective as steroids in pediatric Crohn´s.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes Crohn´s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UK). The diseases are chronic and have a pattern of relapses interspersed with relatively symptom-free periods. Common symptoms during relapse are diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss. Since you have IBD for life it is important to find ways to relate to and cope with the disease. In that process a nurse can be of great help.Aim: The purpose of this literature review was to increase the understanding of how adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease experience their daily lives.  Method: The method used was a literature review.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. These are characterized by a chronic inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. Living with chronic illness meant that life changed significantly. Quality of life was affected for these individuals and was stressful in their lives. Aim: The aim was to describe the experiences of living with inflammatory bowel disease. Method: A qualitative literature review was chosen to analyze articles that were related to the aim of this study. Results: Based on the chosen articles five themes were created; Commuting between hope and fear, symptoms of the disease and medication become everyday focus, struggling with  the new identity, desire to control the disease- do I control my illness or does it control me and social relationships are affected. Conclusion: Inflammatory bowel disease is a distressing disease and can cause limitations in social life due to lack of knowledge by others about the disease. The affected felt a loss of control in their life due to the difficulty in managing the symptoms.

En person som drabbats av den inflammatoriska tarmsjukdomen Mb Crohn är under ett svårt skov ofta i behov av sjukvårdskontakt. Skovet kan innebära blodiga diarréer flera gånger per dygn, buksmärta och feber. För att minska patientens lidande är det viktigt att sjukvårdskontakten blir positiv för patienten. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur patienter med Mb Crohn upplevde kontakten med vårdpersonal samt vilka faktorer som påverkade kontakten. Den metod som användes var en kvalitativ innehållsanalys som gjordes av text från sex bloggar skrivna av personer med Mb Crohn. En blogg kan beskrivas som en dagbok, publicerad via internet. Resultatet visade att kontakten med vårdpersonal gav både positiva och negativa upplevelser.

Denna rapport handlar om diagnostik av Crohns sjukdom och i synnerhet om magnetkamerans roll för att uppnå en bättre bedömning och kartläggning av sjukdomen. Crohns sjukdom kan avbildas med hjälp av många olika tekniker, vi har valt att kolla på de tre vanligaste tekniker: genomlysning, kapselendoskopi och magnetkameraundersökning. Rapporten går kort genom sjukdomsbilden, kapselendoskopi och genomlysning, för att sedan gå djupare i magnetkamera- (MR) tekniken som är grunden till detta arbete. Den tekniska utvecklingen i magnetkamerateknik har gjort det möjligt att med hjälp av snabba MR-sekvenser förkorta undersökningstiden på buken, och därmed göra det möjligt att utesluta problem som t.ex. rörelseartefakter.

Inflammatoriska tarmsjukdomar (IBD) är en av samhällets nya folksjukdomar och ses som ett stort problem. IBD innefattar flera olika sjukdomar som påverkar mag- tarm kanalen, där Ulcerös kolit och Morbus crohn är de största och vanligast förkommande sjukdomarna, dessa kommer att belysas i denna litteraturstudie. IBD sjukdomarna är kroniska, inflammatoriska och uppträder i skov. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur dessa tarmsjukdomar påverkar vuxna individers livskvalitet både psykiskt och fysiskt. Resultatet visar att sjukdomarna påverkar individernas livskvalitet och kan bidra till ångest, depression och social isolering.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive degenerative neurological disorder. In Sweden there are 15 000-20 000 individuals affected by the disease.The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of oral diseases in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The material for the literature review was gathered in the medical database PubMed. Keywords used for the data research were ?Parkinson?s disease?, ?oral diseases?, ?dry mouth?, ?gingivitis?, ?caries? and ?periodontitis?.

Background:Alzheimer's disease is a disease that primarily affects the elderly but also younger people. Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia which means that you get changes in the cerebral cortex and cells gradually die. The disease causes memory loss and things that were obvious before will be difficult for the sufferer. Alzheimer's disease also affects next of kin to a large degree; they will have to take a great responsibility. The next of kin are entitled to support from healthcare.Aim:The aim was to highlight next of kin' experiences of healthcare to their family members with Alzheimer's disease.Method: The study was based on narratives, which in this case means analysis of autobiographies.

The aim of the study was to describe how women and men with diagnosed heart disease experience their health-related quality of life and what differences there is between genders in their quality of life and also describe problems after receiving the diagnosis. The study also aimed to describe rehabilitation of patients with heart disease. The study was a descriptive literature study based on scientific articles. It emerged that both women and men with heart disease experienced lower quality of life compared to normative data. There was a significant difference between women and men both one year and three years after receiving the diagnosis heart disease, which showed that women experienced lower quality of life than men.

Can degree of degenerative brain disease be predicted with the help of measurements of cognitive deterioration?Alzheimer?s disease progresses through nerve cell break down in the brain and the simultaneous deterioration of the individual?s cognitive function. This disease is common among elderly persons. This thesis examines if the level of deterioration of cognitive function is associated with different biochemical and clinical markers for degenerative brain diseases. In addition, this thesis examines if the level of decline in cognitive functions vary between groups with different levels of degenerative brain disease.
