Purpose: With modern treatments, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients more frequently experience long-lasting remission resulting in a growing population of long-term survivors. Follow-up care includes identification and management of treatment-related late-effects, such as secondary malignancies (SM). We conducted a population-based study to describe the burden of SM in MCL patients. Methods: All
Purpose: Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF) estimates how large a portion of the absolute dietary intake stems from food groups included in the Paleolithic diet. In randomized controlled trials higher PDFs have been associated with healthier levels of cardiometabolic risk markers. Our aim was to build upon these findings by examining associations between PDF and mortality and incidence of cardiometab
Background Compared with placebo, prophylactic treatment with bisphosphonates reduces risk of skeletal events in patients with multiple myeloma. However, because of toxicity associated with long-term bisphosphonate treatment, establishing the lowest effective dose is important. This study compared the effect of two doses of pamidronate on health-related quality of life and skeletal morbidity in pa
Aims/hypothesis The relevance of the OGTT in predicting type 2 diabetes is unclear. We assessed the performance of 14 OGTT glucose traits in type 2 diabetes prediction. Methods We studied 2,603 and 2,386 Europeans from the Botnia study and Malmo Prevention Project (MPP) cohorts with baseline OGTT data. Over a follow-up period of 4.94 years and 23.5 years, 155 (5.95%) and 467 (19.57%) participants,
Study Design. A multicenter, randomized, controlled, cost-effectiveness analysis. Objective. To assess the cost-effectiveness of balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) compared with standard medical treatment (control) in patients with acute/subacute (<3 months) vertebral compression fracture (VCF) due to osteoporosis. Summary of Background Data. Patients with a VCF due to osteoporosis are common and will incr
The production of fermented milk products has increased worldwide during the last decade and is expected to continue to increase during the coming decade. The quality of these products may be optimized through breeding practices; however, the relations between cow genetics and technological properties of acid milk gels are not fully known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify chromosom
Context: The previously reported absence of 65-kDa glutamate decarboxylase antibody (GAD65Ab)-specific antiidiotypic antibodies (anti-Id) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients at clinical onset could be due to an inability to mount an antibody response to GAD65Ab or a longitudinal decline in anti-Id levels. Objective and Design: We investigated anti-Id levels in longitudinal samples obtained from T1D
This thesis is concerned with the subject of craft and technology and the intricate connection between man, his objects and society. When archaeologists study social and cultural structures and phenomena, it is understood that the objects have been created and crafted by people, but the weight of this fact is not always recognized. Acknowledging that we are always studying the material expression
This report describes a model for the estimation of the time required to evacuate a building, by dividing the evacuation process into three phases: awareness, behaviour and response, and movement. The times required in each of these phases can be estimated separately and the sum then represents the total evacuation time. The time elapsed from the fire breaking out, to the discovery of the fire, is
Aims: Orthostatic hypotension (OH), an independent predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events, strongly correlates with hypertension. Recent genome-wide studies have identified new loci influencing blood pressure (BP) in populations, but their impact on OH remains unknown.Methods and resultsA total of 38 970 men and women of European ancestry from five population-based cohorts were included,
Introduction: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) involves a long trajectory with high risk of complications. In person-centred care (PCC), patients’ needs, resources and the care relationship are central to the care process. Healthcare professionals’ (HCPs) ratings of PCC have not previously been investigated in this context. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate health
BACKGROUND: Few studies have explored the association between DNA methylation and physical activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of objectively measured hours of sedentary behavior (SB) and moderate physical activity (MPA) with DNA methylation. We further aimed to explore the association between SB or MPA related CpG sites and cardiometabolic traits, gene expression, and

I Malmö och Göteborg anordnar biograferna regelbundet festivaler och fristående visningar av kultfilmer som band andra The Room, Birdemic, och Miami Connection. Kännetecknande för dessa upplevelser är den översvallande atmosfär som skapa
This dissertation investigates the development of the main Danish modal particles jo, sgu, skam, nu, da, vel, nokand vist. In Modern Danish, these particles express contextualization instructions, that is, they express how theutterance relates to the interactive context. In addition to this common content core, they also share severalexpression features: they cannot be placed in the pre-field, the
INTRODUCTION: Worsening renal function (WRF) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). Osteopontin (OPN) and Matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) are expressed in the kidneys and are involved in bone mineralization processes. Higher OPN levels have been associated with a higher risk for adverse outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and MEPE
PURPOSE: Early identification of the underlying cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is important for treatment and prognosis. This study aims to investigate the association of hematoma volume and other clinical parameters on the distribution of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) probability according to the simplified Edinburgh CT criteria in a large, unselected intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) p
