Long-term Risks of Depression and Suicide Among Men with Prostate Cancer : A National Cohort Study

Background: A diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) may cause psychosocial distress that worsens quality of life; however, long-term mental health outcomes are unclear. Objective: To determine the long-term risks of major depression and death by suicide in a large population-based cohort. Design, setting, and participants: This was a national cohort study of 180 189 men diagnosed with PC during 1998–2

Intake of different types of red meat, poultry, and fish and incident colorectal cancer in women and men: results from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study.

Background : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered one of the most common forms of cancer in the Western world. High intake of red and processed meat is considered to increase CRC development. Objective : This study examined associations between intake of red meats, poultry, and fish and incident CRC, and if weight status modifies the associations. Design : In the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, diet

Sociological imagination and our uncertain future

C.W. Mills suggests that having sociological imagination entails having ability to both distinguish between and connect personal troubles and public issues. This has been a guiding principle for much sociology in the last fifty years, but is never simple and continues to challenge the discipline. Especially the increasing number of sociologists engaging in endeavours to explain, understand, and im

Prevalence of skin disease in a population-based sample of adults from five European countries

Background: There is a lack of prevalence data on skin diseases in the general adult population; most studies have been carried out in small, national or consecutive clinical samples. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of common skin disease in the general European population and to assess differences in the characteristics of treatment between countries. Methods: A random sample consisting o

Experimenting with experiments 2.0: using mixed methods to learn about information search behavior

This presentation discusses an ongoing research project that aims to collect data about the practice of information search. It seeks to learn more about different ways in which tourist information is collected at different stages of a journey. Speaking to tourism planners and reading tourism research, it seems as if the digitalization of information has completely changed tourists’ information sea

Biological wound matrices with native dermis-like collagen efficiently modulate protease activity

Objective: When the delicate balance between catabolic and anabolic processes is disturbed for any reason, the healing process can stall, resulting in chronic wounds. In chronic wound pathophysiology, proteolytic imbalance is implicated due to elevated protease levels mediating tissue damage. Hence, it is important to design appropriate wound treatments able to control and modulate protease activi

Scandinavian Multicenter Acute Subdural Hematoma (SMASH): Study Protocol for a Multinational Population-Based Consecutive Cohort

BACKGROUND: Traumatic acute subdural hematomas (ASDHs) are associated with high rate of morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly individuals. However, recent reports indicate that the morbidity and mortality rates might have improved.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate postoperative (30-d) mortality in younger vs elderly (≥70 yr) patients with ASDH. Comparing younger and elderly patients, the secondary o

Sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with thin melanomas : Frequency and predictors of metastasis based on analysis of two large international cohorts

Background: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis in patients with thin melanomas (≤1 mm) is uncommon but adverse prognostic factors may indicate an increased risk. We sought to determine how often SLN biopsy (SLNB) was performed in patients with thin melanomas, establish the frequency of SLN metastasis and evaluate the predictive value of ulceration, tumor mitotic rate, and thickness for SLN invol
