Arterial switch operation (ASO) has become the definitive anatomical correction for transposition of great arteries (TGA). Left coronary artery (LCA) ostial stenosis was detected by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) as a flame like colour flow diastolic signal and coronary flow reserve (CFR) was low, 1.3. It was treated successfully by a drug-eluted stent. These findings could be diagn
The 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) was completed at the age of 22 years by individuals who had previously suffered from anorexia nervosa (AN), and also by members of a comparison group. The AN and comparison groups had been recruited from community samples. Overall, the TAS scores did not clearly discriminate between the two groups.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor världen över och den står för omkring 30% av all cancer hos kvinnor i Sverige. Varje år får ca 7000 kvinnor i Sverige diagnosen och man räknar att ca en av tio kvinnor insjuknar under sin livstid. Trots att så många får bröstcancer så är det betydligt färre kvinnor som dör av bröstcancer; för närvarande ca 1500 per The aim of this thesis was to study reproductive factors and genetic polymorphisms in relation to breast cancer risk and survival. An important component of this was to investigate the risk of specific breast cancer subgroups. The association between parity and breast cancer-specific survival was studied among 4,453 women diagnosed with breast cancer in Malmö, Sweden. It was found that: • Nullipar
Marie Belloc Lowndes was a prolific author, publishing over forty novels in addition to plays, memoirs and a large number of short stories spanning the first five decades of the twentieth century. Most of these are now largely forgotten. Despite her obvious popularity, evidenced by a significant number of film adaptations of her novels, Lowndes has not yet reached the radar of literary studies. Th
Activation of the sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) improves functional recovery in models of experimental stroke and is known to modulate microglia function. The present study was conducted to investigate if Sig-1R activation after experimental stroke affects mediators of the inflammatory response in the ischemic hemisphere. Male Wistar rats were subjected to transient occlusion of the middle cerebral ar
