OBJECTIVES: To determine the agreement between transvaginal ultrasound examinations performed before and at saline contrast sonohysterography (SCSH) with regard to number, size and shape of Cesarean section (CS) scar defects. METHODS: In all, 108 women underwent transvaginal ultrasound examination with SCSH at least 6 months after CS: 68 had undergone one CS, 32 two CSs and eight women had undergo

To clarify the prognostic role of tumour protein 53 (TP53) mutations in patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) as there is a need for biomarkers that assist in guiding management for patients with OAC.

PURPOSE: We have developed a model for integrated medicines management, including tools and activities for medication reconciliation and medication review. In this study, we focus on improving the quality of the discharge summary including the medication report to reduce medication errors in the transition from hospital to primary and community care. METHODS: This study is a longitudinal study wit

PURPOSE: To determine the incidence of associated intrinsic and extrinsic ligament injuries in patients with a nondisplaced or displaced scaphoid waist fracture. METHODS: During a 3-year period, a study of all scaphoid fractures was performed at our institution. Diagnosis was confirmed by plain radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. A 3-part anatomic classification was u

It has been long recognised that dispersal is an important life-history trait that plays a key role in the demography and evolution of populations and species. This then suggests that dispersal play a central role in the response of populations and species to ever-increasing global change, including climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation, and biological invasions. During a symposium held a

Interstitial laser-induced thermotherapy (ILT) destroys tumors thermally, ILT was performed for treatment of liver tumors in rats to investigate the effect of hepatic inflow occlusion on temperature distribution and lesion size. Tumors were irradiated for 20 min with near-infrared light from a neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, The laser light at a power of 1.5 W was delivered throu

Resultaten från denna studie tyder på att åldrat slaggrus som används utblandat med planteringsjord (här 50 vikt-%), till exempel i sluttäckningsändamål, inte ger upphov till betydande förhöjda metall- och metalloidhalter i engelskt rajgräs under en växtsäsong jämfört med vanliga anläggningsmaterial (här schaktmassa och bergkross). Studien visar även på vikten av att ta hänsyn till damning och

BACKGROUND: Patterns of subsequent malignancies in patients with cancer of unknown primary (CUP) may provide etiological insight into the primary tumor. The objective of the present study is to quantify risks of the subsequent cancers in CUP patients since such studies are lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A population-based cohort of CUP was identified from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database of year
