Peritoneaalidialyysipotilaiden elämänlaatu sekä ikääntymisen yhteys hoitojen sujuvuuteen, potilaana selviytymiseen ja elämänlaatuun

2015

Suomalaisen väestön yleisimpiä pitkäaikaissairauksia ovat perinteisesti olleet erilaiset sydän- ja verisuonisairaudet. Diabeteksen esiintyvyys on voimakkaassa kasvussa, jonka vuoksi siitä on tullut myös yksi maamme yleisimmistä pitkäaikaissairauksista. Yhdessä nämä sairaudet ovat edesauttaneet erilaisten munuaissairauksien yleistymistä. Myös ikääntymisen on nähty olevan yhteydessä munuaissairauksien lisääntymiseen. Tässä pro gradu- tutkielmassa mielenkiinto kohdistettiin kroonista munuaisten vajaatoimintaa sairastaviin yksilöihin. Tutkimuksessa tarkoituksena oli tutkia peritoneaalidialyysipotilaiden elämänlaatua sekä ikääntymisen yhteyttä hoitojen sujuvuuteen, potilaana selviytymiseen ja el…

Systemic vascular resistance predicts the development of hypertension : the cardiovascular risk in young Finns study

2020

To study whether systemic hemodynamics, especially systemic vascular resistance, predicts the development of hypertension and improves the risk prediction of incident hypertension beyond common risk factors in the risk models in young adults. Typical risk factors for hypertension in the risk prediction models (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, parental history of hypertension, age, sex, body-mass index, smoking), laboratory values (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein), heart rate (HR), stroke index (SI), and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) calculated by whole-body impedance cardiography…

FPI Based Hyperspectral Imager for the Complex Surfaces : Calibration, Illumination and Applications

2022

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) applications for biomedical imaging and dermatological applications have been recently under research interest. Medical HSI applications are non-invasive methods with high spatial and spectral resolution. HS imaging can be used to delineate malignant tumours, detect invasions, and classify lesion types. Typical challenges of these applications relate to complex skin surfaces, leaving some skin areas unreachable. In this study, we introduce a novel spectral imaging concept and conduct a clinical pre-test, the findings of which can be used to develop the concept towards a clinical application. The SICSURFIS spectral imager concept combines a piezo-actuated Fabry–Pé…

Hyperspectral imaging system in the delineation of Ill-defined basal cell carcinomas : a pilot study

2019

Background Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer in the Caucasian population. Eighty per cent of BCCs are located on the head and neck area. Clinically ill‐defined BCCs often represent histologically aggressive subtypes, and they can have subtle subclinical extensions leading to recurrence and the need for re‐excisions. Objectives The aim of this pilot study was to test the feasibility of a hyperspectral imaging system (HIS) in vivo in delineating the preoperatively lateral margins of ill‐defined BCCs on the head and neck area. Methods Ill‐defined BCCs were assessed clinically with a dermatoscope, photographed and imaged with HIS. This was followed by surgical procedures…

Health Beliefs of Wearing Facemasks for Influenza A/H1N1 Prevention : A Qualitative Investigation of Hong Kong Older Adults

2019

Although vaccination is the first-line strategy controlling and preventing influenza A/H1N1 for older adults, personal protective measures, such as wearing facemasks, are also important preventive behaviors to reduce the risk of becoming infected with influenza A/H1N1 during a pandemic. In the current study, we aimed to explore the belief-related psychological factors of wearing facemasks for influenza A/H1N1 prevention in a sample of Hong Kong older adults. Community-dwelling Chinese adults (N = 137) aged between 65 and 80 years (Mage = 75.10; SDage = 6.49) participated in semistructured interviews. Data were analyzed using theoretical thematic analysis and identified themes were matched d…

Predicting physical distancing over time during COVID-19 : testing an integrated model

2022

Objective: We applied an integrated social cognition model to predict physical distancing behavior, a key COVID-19 preventive behavior, over a four-month period. Design: A three-wave longitudinal survey design. Methods: Australian and US residents (N = 601) completed self-report measures of social cognition constructs (attitude, subjective norm, moral norm, perceived behavioral control [PBC]), intention, habit, and physical distancing behavior on an initial occasion (T1) and on two further occasions one week (T2) and four months (T3) later. Results: A structural equation model revealed that subjective norm, moral norm, and PBC, were consistent predictors of physical distancing intention on …
