Effekter på antalet vårdrelaterade urinvägsinfektioner av nya rutiner för kateteranvändning
Introduction Every tenth patient in Sweden is affected by nosocomial infections. Among these, urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequently occurring within the hospital environment. Nosocomial infections lead to increasing costs for care, more suffering among the patients, increasing use of antibiotics, and longer treatment spells. The Academic hospital have engaged all wards in the so called VRISS-project (?nosocomial infections must be stopped?) in order to reduce the number of nosocomial infections.Aim In connection to the VRISS-project new routines for removal of uretrahl catheters are introduced at ward 70E2 at the Academic hospital.
Magnesiumstatus hos mjölkkor : en fältstudie
Magnesium is an essential mineral that is important for several physiologic and biochemical processes in the body. Deficiency of magnesium is mainly associated with grass tetany, but can also appear in cows during the indoor period. Since long it is known that potassium has a negative effect on the absorption of magnesium. Due to the fact that potassium fertilisation leads to a higher potassium content in forage, it is of interest to study interactions of potassium on the magnesium balance in dairy cows. There are few studies about magnesium feeding to dairy cows in Sweden and the purpose of this study was to investigate how much magnesium and from which feed-sources dairy cows in Sweden get their magnesium.
Data was collected from seven farms in the northern part of Uppland and from seven farms in Skaraborg in Sweden.

Fysiologi och beteende hos golden retriever i hemmiljö och under en testsituation
To fit into our society the dogs of today need a good mentality. To investigate their mentalitydifferent behavior tests have been developed. The tests are useful tools in the selection ofbreeding animals as well as for working and companion dogs. To counter the demand for atest that could be suited for all kind of dogs, regardless of their future function, the mentalitytest Beteende- och personlighetsbeskrivning hund (BPH) was developed. BPH consists ofseven subtests that expose dogs to various situations that can be found in everyday life, suchas meeting an unfamiliar person, sudden noises and suddenly appearing objects.The aim of this study was to find out if there are differences in physiological values betweenindividuals, validate the behavior observations during BPH and get aware of how the dogsexperience the situation.
Magnesium chloride in dry cow silage to prevent hypocalcaemia
Milk fever, or parturient paresis, is the second most common disease in Swedish dairy cows. The disorder is associated with the onset of lactation when some cows are unable to meet the metabolic demands of calcium to support milk production and therefore develop a state of hypocalcaemia. Clinical hypocalcaemia (milk fever) may lead to coma and death in severe cases but subclinical hypocalcaemia has also been shown to have negative effects on e.g. feed intake and production and to increase the susceptibility of the cow to develop secondary diseases. The nutritional strategy applied precalving is of great importance in preventing milk fever and e.g.
Akut prostatit hos hund : en retrospektiv studie av ultraljudsbilden på 15 hundar med kliniska tecken på akut prostatit
Acute bacterial prostatitis is a common disease in older male dogs. It gives symptoms such as fever, pain, tiredness, infertility, unwillingness to mate and sometimes symptoms from the urinary tract. It is common that you do an ultrasound exam on dogs when you suspect prostatic changes.
In this study 15 dogs diagnosed with acute prostatitis at the small animal clinic at SLU in Uppsala were examined. The clinical signs and the ultrasound pictures were put together in retrospect.
Effekter av skendräktighet och kastration på tikens beteende
Pseudopregnancy is a condition that is estimated to affect 40 % of all female dogs. Common symptoms are decreased activity level, weight gain, mammary enlargement, milk production, nesting behavior, anorexia and maternal behavior. The symptoms are displayed during metoestrus. Prolactin is one of the causes behind pseudopregnancy, but the full process is not yet known. Due to the fact that the condition affects that many bitches and often is recurrent, it is relevant to examine how the condition affects the bitch?s behavior and performance.

Abdominellt ultraljud av vuxna nötkreatur : en praktisk guide
Ultrasound is a diagnostic aid often overlooked by the veterinary practicioner who works with farm-animals. However, it?s use increases, particulary for breeders where ultrasound has long been used to evaluate ovaries and to diagnose pregnancy or disturbances in reproduction. There is much knowledge in how to examine ovaries and uterus by transrectal ultrasound, but when it comes to doing ultrasound of other organs in the abdomen the knowledge is more limited.
Cows are very large animals, so it is not possible to examine everything inside the abdomen with ultrasound, simply because the ultrasound beam has a limited penetration. There is also lots of gas inside the gastro-intestinal tract of a cow, mainly in the large intestine and the rumen, and that makes it impossible to examine the organs behind the gas since the ultrasound waves are reflected when reaching the soft tissue-gas interface.
Kateterassocierad urinvägsinfektion - ur ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv : Catheter-associated urinary tract infection - in the nurses' perspective
SAMMANFATTNINGSjukhusinfektioner förlänger vårdtiden och fördyrar vården samt innebär ett ökat lidande för patienten. Urinvägsinfektion (UVI) är den vanligaste vårdrelaterade infektionen. Behandling med kateter à démeur (KAD) är omfattande inom akutsjukvården. KAD anses vara den främsta orsaken till vårdrelaterad UVI.Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva faktorer i sjuksköterskans arbete som påverkar incidensen för utvecklandet av kateterassocierad UVI.Underlaget för resultatet utgörs av 24 vetenskapliga artiklar som på manuell och systematisk väg söktes i databaser. Analysen av artiklarna resulterade i sju ämnesområden som utgör delarna i resultatet.
Obstruktiv FLUTD - ett nödvändigt ont eller möjligt att förebygga?
FLUTD - Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease ? is a complex disease and a common sight in the veterinary setting. Although FLUTD excluding urethral obstruction may be discomforting for the cat and its owner due to symptoms such as periuria, stranguria, hematuria, dysuria and pollakiuria, obstruction presents an acute and potentially lethal form of the disease as a result of uremia and disturbances in fluids, electrolytes and acid-base balances.
A study of literature has been performed to investigate the causes of FLUTD with urethral obstruction and the actions available to the owner to avert them. Potential causes of obstructive and non-obstructive FLUTD have been found to include infections, uroliths, urethral plugs, neoplasia, anatomic abnormalities, trauma, neurogenic or iatrogenic causes. Most commonly a cause cannot be identified and the terms idiopathic FLUTD or feline idiopathic cystitis are used.
As the mortality rate due to urethral obstruction likely is somewhere around 5.8-8.9% and FLUTD including and excluding urethral obstruction constitute great inconveniences, precautionary measures are warranted.

Vilken information får hundägare i samband med kastrering av sin hanhund?
BACKGROUND
Until 1988, it was forbidden to neuter male dogs in Sweden without a veterinary medical cause, so there is clearly no long tradition of this procedure in healthy dogs. According to the website of The Swedish Kennel Club (SKK), February 11, 2011, there has been an increase of castrated male dogs in Sweden. They see this increase as worrying, especially in cases of the less common breeds, where it is most important to maintain the gene pool. The SKK expresses concern that castration is used as a tool to influence the personality of dogs, instead of training and education of the dog. They write that castration should be preceded by a discussion initiated by the veterinarian, where the pros and cons of castration are weighed against each other.
Övertänjd urinblåsa och urinretention på akutmottagningen : en pilotstudie
Bakgrund: Migrän är en långvarig, neurologisk sjukdom som kännetecknas av mycket smärtsam pulserande huvudvärk som kommer anfallsvis. Trots intensiv forskning inom området är det inte helt klarlagt varför man drabbas och någon botande behandling finns inte. Dock finns vissa möjligheter att själv kunna minska antalet anfall, exempelvis genom att undvika faktorer som triggar igång anfall, såsom oregelbundna måltider och stress. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva patienters erfarenheter av att leva med kronisk migrän. Metod: För att besvara vårt syfte användes systematisk litteraturstudie som metod, där fem kvalitativa och två kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar samt en som var både kvalitativ och kvantitativ inkluderades.
