Women who have been treated for breast cancer are typically followed up with regular mammography and palpation, with the aim of detecting recurrences and contralateral breast cancer (CBC). This study aims to investigate if the diagnostic work-up of breast cancer patients has improved over the last 25 years and resulted in earlier diagnoses of CBC. Two population-based cohorts were used; all CBCs i

They left the city and, therefore, were presumed to have left the political and societal spheres. Studies of comm

I denna forskningsöversikt kartläggs svenskproducerad och kvalitetsgranskad forskning om svensk forskarutbildning i syfte att illustrera forskningsfältets fysiska och vetenskapliga formering 2000–2020. Databasen Swepub användes för att identifiera licentiatavhandlingar, doktorsavhandlingar och refereegranskade artiklar som sedan analyserades med deskriptiv statistik och tematisk analys. Fältets fy

INTRODUCTION: The main objective was to present characteristics and outcome of patients without sustained field return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) transported to hospital with ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The on-site documentation and examination of architectural heritage has presented challenges for traditional analysis methods in the form of, among other things, large complex structures, sites and environmental conditions. In recent years there has been growing interest in assessing progressing deterioration processes and material analysis, with an emphasis on sustainable conservation and mainten

The quality of spatial analysis is highly dependent on the geo-referencing quality and the definition of the geographic context variables used. However, such information is seldom considered in historical demographic and epidemiological research that includes the geographic context. We investigate a suitable geographic level for geocoding of the population and definition of geographic context vari
