Bakgrund: Patellofemoralt smärtsyndrom (PFSS) är en knädiagnos som många sjukgymnaster kommer i kontakt med. Patienter beskriver ofta en diffus smärta framtill och/eller baktill på knät, vilken kan utlösas eller förvärras vid aktivitet. Huvudbehandlingen är fysiska åtgärder, exempelvis träning av Mm. quadriceps, vilken kan kombineras med exempelvis tejpning, ortos eller stretching. För att uppnå bästa resultat är det viktigt att sjukgymnasterna arbetar både efter vetenskap och klinisk erfarenhet.

Femoroacetabulärt Impingement (FAI) har under det senaste årtiondet presenterats som en orsak till ljumsksmärta hos yngre och innebär abnormala benpålagringar i höftleden som leder till en kollision mellan femur och acetabulum. FAI delas upp i cam respektive pincer beroende på pålagringarnas lokalisation. Ofta drabbar detta yngre aktiva individer och symptomen är bland annat smärta och stelhet i ljumsken. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga vilka fysioterapeutiska undersöknings- och behandlingsmetoder som används vid Femoroacetabulärt Impingement i Sverige. En kvantitativ enkätstudie genomfördes för legitimerade fysioterapeuter/sjukgymnaster som arbetar med FAI patienter.

Myxomatous mitral valve disease is a common disease in older dogs of small- to medium-size breeds. The mitral valve, and less commonly the tricuspid valve may be affected which causes them to leak blood from the ventricle to the atrium of the heart during systole. With increasing severity of mitral valve leakage the forward stroke volume ejected into the aorta decreases, which may lead to an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary vein resulting in pulmonary edema. A decrease in cardiac output may lead to a decrease in blood pressure, but the body may respond in order to normalize the blood pressure. Franzén showed in 2007 that the systolic blood pressure was increased in dogs with severe mitral insufficiency.

The free press is an invaluable part of the democratic society and a pillar stone in the creation of ideas, opinions and norms. According to theories such as agenda-setting and framing the media have a significant influence on people?s perspectives and opinions. With this view of media along with the gender system provided by Yvonne Hirdman as a framework, this study intends to examine the gender representation in Swedish domestic news journalism.

The key elements of sourdough fermentation are the presence of active lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast. Sourdough fermentation originates from the ancient Egypt. One theory concerning its onset states that a portion of bread dough was set aside to be baked at a later date and started to ferment spontaneously.Sourdough may contain a wide variety of microorganisms, mainly dominated by LAB and yeast. There are over 50 species of LAB that has been identified in various sourdoughs and more than 20 species of yeast. Sourdough fermentation has been shown to have various impacts on baked cereal good, most of which are attributed to LAB.This study addresses some effects of LAB from fermented milk products in sourdough and sourdough bread.
