Lindroth, Malin; Löfgren-Mårtenson, Lotta; Månsson, Sven-Axel Journal article in Socionomens forskningssupplement;31 : SSR (2012)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

Swedish abstract

Tvångsomhändertagna ungdomar är riskutsatta på många områden. Denna artikel fokuserar specifikt ungdomar på statliga ungdomshem. Vi redogör för hur ett urval av dessa unga har svarat i en enkätundersökning rörande sexuell hälsa samt hur deras svar på flera väsentliga punkter skiljer sig från övriga unga. Forskningsresultatet som är det första i sitt slag i Sverige stämmer väl överens med tidigare forskning som visar på samband mellan flera olika riskfaktorer eller riskbeteenden ...

Ingvarsdotter, Karin; Johnsdotter, Sara; Östman, Margareta Journal article in International Journal of Social Psychiatry;1 : Sage (2012)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract

BACKGROUND: : The literature concerning interpretation in research primarily concentrates on rigorous techniques to eliminate bias. This article analyses other significant issues that arise when interpreters participate in research. MATERIAL: : Empirical examples are drawn from a research project concerning mental ill health in a multicultural neighbourhood. DISCUSSION: : Interpreters influence interview data in ways commonly unnoticed by researchers. One often-overlooked f...

English abstract

Background: Symptom control by drug treatment is the most important task in routine clinical care of patients with schizophrenia. Structured assessment methods are needed in this task but not used much. The US-developed Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) is a standard tool for symptom assessment. The Psychosis Evaluation tool for Common use by Caregivers (PECC) was constructed in Europe some years ago, with the intent to overcome some of the PANSS drawbacks. Aims and me...

Normal life crises and insanity : mental illness contextualised
Ingvarsdotter, Karin; Johnsdotter, Sara; Östman, Margareta Journal article in European Journal of Social Work; : Taylor & Francis (2012)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract	According to a 2005 survey, the people of Rosengård, a culturally heterogeneous borough of Malmö, Sweden, utilise considerably less mental health services in relation to their estimated needs than the rest of the city’s population. A study based on interviews with people living or working in the area revealed several possible reasons. Most important was their perception of what constitutes mental illness. If the cause of one’s disturbed mental state is viewed as a normal lif...
Swedish abstract	Enligt en kartläggning från 2005 utnyttjar befolkningen i Rosengård, en kulturellt heterogen stadsdel i Malmö, avsevärt mindre psykiatrisk vård i relation till uppskattade behov i jämförelse med övrig befolkning i Malmö. Med stöd av data från en intervjustudie bland folk som bor eller arbetar i stadsdelen klargjordes flera möjliga orsaker till den låga konsumtionen. Den främsta orsaken var synen på psykisk ohälsa; om ett mentalt tillstånd inte uppfattas som en sjukdom utan en nor...

Very low-density lipoprotein induces interleukin-1beta expression in ...
Stollenwerk, Maria M; Lindholm, Marie; Pörn-Ares, Isabella; Larsson, Anna; Nilsson, Jan; Ares, Mikko PS Journal article in Biochemical and biophysical research communications;2 : Elsevier (2005)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract

Elevated plasma level of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. We investigated the effect of VLDL on expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in human peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages. IL-1beta mRNA and protein expression was analysed by PCR and ELISA, respectively. Caspase activation was assessed by immunoblotting. Apart from potentiating lipopolysaccharide-induced secretion of IL-1beta, VLDL...
