Detta arbete beskriver struppipning, som är en sjukdom som beror på att rekurrensnerven är skadad. Detta leder till att larynx inte kan fungera normalt. Hästens symtom visar sig särskilt vid ansträngning, då den blir onormalt trött, och vid inandning har den ofta ett karakteristiskt missljud. Orsaken till att nervskadan uppstår är ofta idiopatisk, men det kan exempelvis också bero på trauma av olika slag. Det är troligt att sjukdomen är ärftlig.

This essay revolves around the reformation and sectorization of Swedish psychiatry starting in the 1970?s. Psychiatry was to change from being based in closed asylums to being an institution in the middle of society, finding social solutions to mental illness and working through a dynamic network of various care givers, such as welfare officers, nurses and psychiatrists. This new kind of psychiatry was first tested in Nacka, where psychiatric reformers Johan Cullberg and Bengt Berggren were the heads of a six-year long pioneer project of sectorized psychiatric care. My specific purpose is to analyze the new ideas of mental illness and of psychiatry?s role in society which were introduced in this project and how they were expressed in the official reports presenting it.The reformation was preceded by a public debate concerning psychiatry, which had intensified a few years around 1970.

ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to examine the prevalence and the location as well as the registration of gingival recessions among patients between 20-29 years of age, who are treated on the Dental Hygienist Programme at the University of Kristianstad. The study was performed as a recording study, where the first page of the base record paper was examined. We examined 295 base records. The result showed that gingival recessions only were registered on 3 % (n=10). Most of the injuries, 53 % (n=157), had been registered as toothbrush trauma.

Att nästan varje dag konfronteras genom sitt yrke med t ex tragedier, allvarligt skadade eller dödfall upplevs olika av oss alla. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att beskriva krisreaktioner samt möjligheten till krishantering hos vårdpersonalen efter traumavård vid en akutmottagning. En enkät användes för datainsamling. Resultatet visar att personalen upplever krisreaktioner i samband med omhändertagandet av skadade barn samt yngre patienter och vid omhändertagandet av deras anhöriga. Möjlighet till krishantering finns på arbetsplatsen men alla är inte nöjda.

Bakgrund: Amputation innebär att en kroppsdel eller en del av ett organ kirurgiskt avlägsnas. I Sverige utförs årligen cirka 3500 amputationer. De vanligaste orsakerna är kärlsjukdom, trauma, tumörer eller utvecklingsrubbning. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa hur personer med amputerade extremiteter upplever sitt dagliga liv. Metod: En litteraturstudie som består av tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Sökningarna genomfördes i databaserna CINAHL, PubMED och PsycINFO. Kvalitetsbedömning genomfördes med en granskningsmall för kvalitativa artiklar.

Denna studie syftar till att belysa hur erfarna psykoterapeuter ser på kreativitet och kreativa processer i psykoterapi samt vilka erfarenheter de har av den psykoterapeutiska relationens betydelse för kreativiteten. Studien baseras på kvalitativ deskriptiv forskningsmetod med fenomenologisk och hermeneutiskt perspektiv. Resultatetet framtogs genom en strukturell fenomenologisk analys av åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer. I studien framkommer att flexibilitet och öppenhet i att bemöta klienter utifrån ett personligt och samtidigt professionellt sätt bidrar till att ett kreativt klimat kan skapas. Vidare betydelsefullt för en kreativ terapisituation är att en tillitsfull relation skapas mellan klienten och psykoterapeuten.

The number of young women who self-mutilate in different ways has increased dramatically in recent years. Self-mutilation is a way of trying to feel better for the moment. People who self-mutilate often have some other underlying illness such as borderline disease. Women are overrepresented in this group of people and their behaviour is often rooted in a history of childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and psychic maltreatment. The aim of this study is to reveal thoughts about the future among young women who self-mutilate.

Through this thesis, we want to discuss how the marginalization of people, several precedent political, city planning- and engineering decisions resulted in a catastrophic outcome after hurricane Katrina in New Orleans 2005. We also put forward a case study of the Make It Right Foundation, to demonstrate how the residents of the Lower Ninth Ward are involved in the urban development of their community. We would like to draw attention to the power of citizens and how they can influence the urban development of a community after a trauma. This study also focuses on the mission of The Make It Right Foundation: which is to rebuild the Lower Ninth Ward with firm concepts on sustainable development where all dimensions are accounted: ecological, social, cultural and economic. The empirical data was collected by a field study in New Orleans 2010-03-22 and semistructured interviews were made during the same days..

När ett barn brännskadas upplever föräldrarna kaos och som sjukvårdspersonal måste omvårdnaden fokuseras på två patienter, barnet och föräldrarna. Bemötandet av föräldrar i kris är avgörande för hur den traumatiska händelsen bearbetas. Litteraturstudiens syfte är att beskriva föräldrars reaktioner när deras barn utsatts för en traumatisk händelse, i form av brännskada. Resultatet visar att när ett barn brännskadas utsätts föräldrarna för akuta stressreaktioner och ett flertal psykiska påfrestningar. Oavsett om föräldrarna varit närvarande vid traumat upplever de skuldkänslor gentemot sitt barn.

The purpose of this study is to describe melanotic tumours and the pathogenesis of these tumours. The focus of this study is on differences between benign and malignant tumours as well as the prognosis one may expect when diagnosing this disease. The mechanisms responsible for the occurrences of the tumours are not yet fully understood. It is believed that factors such as chronic trauma, infections, medications and hormones affect the cell mechanisms in some way. Determinants of the malignancy of the tumour are not completely known.

The purpose of this study is to highlight some aspects of the increased usage of tablets in preschool environments by answering the questions: what does the tablet become in the preschool environment, how much freedom does the children have over its usage.To answer these questions a series of observations were made at two different preschools. The observations were then complemented by interviews with teachers at the same preschools.This qualitative study focuses on some of the didactic questions regarding the tablets, based on a theoretical framework that is within the design-oriented perspective; which addresses the children's? autonomy, the institutional framework and affordance.Our conclusion is that the tablet?s introduction in the preschool has helped the teachers in numerous parts of their documentation, but we can also see that the children's opportunities to make choices regarding the tablet are more limited than with any other resource on the preschool. In our results we also see that when the children get access to the tablet they receive a learning experience, which among other things, strengthens their language skills and their social interaction with each other..
