Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to develop and pilot-implement an evidence-informed toolkit (SEXual health Identification Tool; SEXIT) for identifying young people exposed to or at risk of sexual ill health, at Swedish youth clinics, and to investigate SEXIT's potential to identify young people in need of special care and monitoring. Methods: The SEXIT toolkit was developed, validated and pilot-implemented at three Swedish youth clinics. Pre-implementation staff readiness was assessed and youth clinic visitors' responses to SEXIT were analysed. Results: All staff perceived a need for screening for sexual risk-taking and exposure. The response rate from 268 youth clinic visitors (aged 15-24 years) was 86%. Half of the visitors had one or no variable associated with sexual ill health, a third had two or three, and 15% reported between four and seven variables. The most common variables were alcohol use, three or more sexual partners in the past year and previous chlamydia. Visitors rated SEXIT as important and not uncomfortable or difficult to answer. Conclusions: The SEXIT toolkit was found to be feasible and highly acceptable in a clinical setting. The use of SEXIT may facilitate important questions on sexual risk-taking and sexual ill health to be raised with youth clinic visitors.

Abstract

In this paper we present a family of models that allows us to estimate egos' unobserved action dispositions from a joint behavioural outcome of a dyadic social interaction process of both egos' and alters' action dispositions. The method is put to test on a data set containing two different types of dyadic activities of high relevance for the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STI), condom use and anal sex. The data consists of individuals older than 15 years old who visited one of the nine youth clinics in the Vastra Gotaland region of Sweden between February 2010 and March 2011 for STI testing. This is hence a group of special interest for STI interventions. We cannot find any difference in condom disposition between women and men. Condoms are initially used more often in less risky types of relationships, especially if the partner ends up as a main partner. When studying the disposition towards anal sex we do however find a difference between men and women. Women are more against practising anal sex than men while the majority of men are neutral towards anal sex.

16. Interaction between Cephaloridine and Furosemide in Man

Author

Norrby, Ragnar, Stenqvist, Karin, and Elgefors, Börje

Abstract

AbstractThe effect of a moderate oral dose of furosemide (80 mg daily) on the serum half-life of cephaloridine was studied. In 14 patients not previously treated with diuretics this dose was found to prolong the half-life significantly. A corresponding decrease of the half-life of cephaloridine was observed when furosemide was withdrawn from 2 patients who were treated with diuretics at admission to hospital. The concurrent treatment with furosemide and cephaloridine did not affect the renal function of the patients studied. From the results obtained it seems possible that even moderate doses of a potent diuretic increase the nephrotoxicity of a cephalosporin.

Abstract

The incidence of chlamydia in Göteborg, the second largest city in Sweden, increased by 81 percent between 1995 and 2001. The majority (82%) of men and women diagnosed with chlamydia were aged 15-29 years. The incidence of chlamydia was higher among teenagers from areas of lower socio-economic index during the first years of the study but after 1995 there was no difference between low and high socio-economic groups. Chlamydia tests were taken three times more often in women than men. Analysis of original data from the Swedish survey of sexual behaviour 1996 demonstrated a strong correlation between the number of sexual partners and STD. Strategies for preventing the spread of chlamydia should be to a greater extent directed towards men and include better accessibility for men to STD clinics as well as a general improvement in contact tracing. The general public should be informed about the fact that chlamydia infections do not always give symptoms and may lead to infertility. Campaigns about condom use in order to avoid chlamydia, HIV-infection and other STD are needed.
