Objective. Uterine sarcomas (US) are rare malignancies with unclear aetiology. Studies on uterine sarcomas in the setting of second primary malignant tumours can provide clues to aetiology and identify side effects of different treatments. Methods. A cohort of 8606 cases of US was extracted from the data from 13 cancer registries and followed for second primary cancers within the period 1943-2000.
Background/Objectives:Diets high in saturated and trans fat and low in unsaturated fat may increase type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, but studies on foods high in fat per unit weight are sparse. We assessed whether the intake of vegetable oil, butter, margarine, nuts and seeds and cakes and cookies is related to incident T2D.Subjects/Methods:A case-cohort study was conducted, nested within eight countri
Purpose: Here, we describe an integrated bioinformatics, functional analysis, and translational pathology approach to identify novel miRNAs involved in breast cancer progression. Experimental Design: Coinertia analysis (CIA) was used to combine a database of predicted miRNA target sites and gene expression data. Using two independent breast cancer cohorts, CIA was combined with correspondence anal
A palaeomagnetic, geochronologic and geochemical study of basic dykes in the Ukrainian Shield has been undertaken with the purpose of testing a hypothesis for timing of accretion of the Ukrainian Shield with Fennoscandia. On the basis of geological data it has been suggested that the two shields amalgamated at ca. 1900-1800 Ma. With this study of 11 basic dykes the palaeomagnetic database for the
I och med den ökande e-handeln i Sverige ökar även returer. Minst 30% av alla e-handelsköp returneras globalt och i Sverige returnerar en tiondel av e-handels konsumenter minst en vara varje månad. Returpolicys har blivit allt mer intressant att forska om och fältet har en bred mångfald av olika perspektiv och förhållningssätt. Den tidigare forskningen inom fältet har undersökt hur konsumenter påv
In light of the syllabus concerning film and video game music in the music subject at Swedish compulsory school level, an interview study was conducted. The purpose of the study was to investigate how five active music teachers in compulsory school use music from films and video games in the classroom to teach about music as a meaning-making expressive form. Five semi-structured interviews were co
Background: Secure base scripts (SBS) comprise implicit procedural expectations about the availability of significant others, and are formed early in life based on experiences with caregivers. SBS are conventionally captured via word-prompted, impersonal narratives, but as this assessment paradigm is relatively new, little is known about how it may be affected by situational mental health problems
Background: Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is well documented in the critically ill. We assessed 1-year mortality in relation to cardiac biomarkers and LV function parameters by echocardiography in patients with shock. Methods: A prospective, observational, cohort study of 49 patients. B-natriuretic peptide (BNP), high-sensitive troponin T (hsTNT) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were a
Introduction. Palliative cancer care in acute hospitals is scarcely studied. We therefore described and compared symptoms, care needs and types of cancer sites in 2002 compared to 2007 and analysed the relationships between these factors. Methods. The study was population-based with a cross-sectional design and was carried out in medical, surgical and oncology wards in two acute care hospitals wit
Popular Abstract in Swedish Patienter med diabetes mellitus har högt blodsocker. Insulin reglerar blodsockervärdena. Redan i slutet av 1800 talet föreslogs att skulle det finnas två olika typer av diabetes, den ena beroende på bristande insulinbildning, den andra beroende på bristande insulineffekt. I början av 1900 talet utvecklades insulinframställningen. Observationer av blodsockernivåerna i blThe Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden (DISS) registers diabetes in young adults aged 15-34 years in Sweden. This thesis aims to validate the ascertainment, methods in the classification of diabetes, and putative etiological factors such as family background, psychological stress, and BMI, that may affect the incidence of diabetes in young adults, in the DISS registry. The capture-recapture method
Bacteria of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium can form endospores as a strategy to survive unfavourable environmental conditions. Endospore formation involves synthesis of cortex, a thick layer of modified peptidoglycan that surrounds the spore. This layer is required for heat resistance of the spore and mutant spores lacking the cortex layer can be identified by a simple heat shock assay. B. su
LYCCA is a detector system consisting of different types of detectors which can be used flexibly to meet the individual requirements of different experiments focused on studying exotic nuclei far off the line of stability. It was developed for the HISPEC/DESPEC programme which is part of the NUSTAR collaboration at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. T

Min frågeställning är vilken roll Folkhögskolans hade förr och har nu ? Jag har försökt att beskriva dess utveckling, förändring, problem och möjligheter. Jag går tillbaka till år 1844 då den första folkhögskolan startades i Röddinge i Danmark av prästen och folkbildaren Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig. Jag vill försöka ge en bild av folkhögskolans pedagogik, lärare och elever. Jag vill nu ocks
Syfte och frågeställning: Internet har vuxit och dess användningsfrekvens har ökat enormt under den sista delen av 1990-talet fram till idag. Detta har resulterat till att Internet har blivit en central kommunikationskanal för den västerländska befolkningen. För företag och organisationer har Internet även blivit en viktig marknadsföringskanal. Internetannonsering blir ett allt vanligare företeels
BACKGROUND In the lamination process the use of surface treatment is necessary to improve the adhesion between the different layers of the packaging material. Surface treatment can be described as Techniques which change the surface characters without affecting properties of the bulk materials. One of the surface treatments is the ozone treatment where the ozone is applied to the hot melt just be
The apolipoprotein (apoE) epsilon4 allele was studied in fronto-temporal dementia (FTD), a diagnostic category including the specific disorders Pick's disease and frontal lobe degeneration of non-Alzheimer type (FLD). These dementing diseases have neuronal and synaptic degeneration in common with Alzheimer's disease (AD), for which the presence of the apoE epsilon4 allele is a known risk factor, a
Objective To examine the long-term effects of early low-dose prednisolone use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Design Retrieval of data from a 2-year open randomised trial comparing prednisolone 7.5mg/day in addition to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) with DMARD therapy alone. Participants were followed for 10years since incl
