PURPOSE: To estimate cause-specific mortality in osteoarthritis patients compared to the general population.METHODS: We identified all residents in southern Sweden aged 45-84 years in 2003. Through the Skåne Healthcare Register we identified those diagnosed with osteoarthritis in peripheral joints between 1998-2003. We followed all residents from 2004 until relocation outside of the region, death,
Background: Pediatric anxiety disorders are highly prevalent and associated with significant functional disabilities and lifelong morbidity. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), sertraline, and their combination are effective treatments, but little is known about how these treatments exert their effects.Methods: Using network intervention analysis (NIA), we analyzed data from the largest randomized
The nonionic low-osmolar contrast medium iohexol was used as marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in 53 patients with stable renal function (group I: n = 32, group II: n = 21). All the patients had clearance values < or = 30 ml.min-1.1.73 m-2 body surface; 40 patients < 20 ml.min-1.1.73 m-2 body surface. Simultaneous determinations of renal clearance and plasma clearance, both as slope clear
Obesity is a well-established risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), but the association with the tumor microenvironment has been sparsely described. Herein, we examined the relationship between pre-diagnostic anthropometry and CRC risk according to tumor immune cell composition, with particular reference to potential sex differences. The density of different immune cell subsets was assessed by
Background: Patients with squamous cell skin cancer (SCC) have an excellent prognosis but second primary cancers (SPCs) weaken survival prospects. Family history is a known risk factor for cancer but whether it is a risk factor for SPC in patients with SCC is not known. Objectives: To quantify the risk of family history on SPCs in patients with SCC and estimate survival probabilities of patients w
Background: The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (LiSat-11), including one global item and 10 domain-specific items, is used to evaluate life satisfaction in persons with the late effects of polio (LEoPs). However, there is a lack of knowledge about its psychometric properties. Objective: To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the LiSat-11 and the associations between the global and domain-spec
Willow (Salix spp.) trees are commonly used in short rotation coppices (SRC) to produce renewable energy. However, these plants are also known to emit high concentrations of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), which have a large influence on air quality. Many different clones of commercially used Salix varieties exist today, but only a few studies have focused on BVOC emissions from these
The importance of daylight to occupants’ health and wellbeing has been extensively documented, as well as its role in reducing electric lighting use. As a result, most countries have today some form of regulatory framework, specifying minimum daylight requirements for built spaces. The present Swedish building code (BBR – BFS 2011:6) includes general recommendations for daylight provision of resid

Uppsatsen undersöker markanvisningssystemet i nio kommuner i storstadsregionerna Göteborg, Malmö och Stockholm. Syftet är att genomföra en kartläggning av vilka tilldelningssätt de olika kommunerna använder sig av inför en försäljning av ett markområde samt vilken påverkan det har på pris, transparens och kostnader. Samtidigt studeras byggherrar och kommuners strategier och agerande i de olika tilThis thesis researches the Swedish municipality system for choosing whom will be allowed to buy and develop land owned by the municipality. With focus on the three largest cities, Gothenburg, Malmö and Stockholm, and the region surrounding them. The purpose of the thesis is to survey the methods used by the municipalities to sell land for developing. How the chosen method affects pricing of land,
Sedan 2017 har elsparkcyklar fått ett stort genombrott i Sverige och har blivit ett allt vanligare transportmedel för att åka korta sträckor. Elsparkcyklar framförs i allt större utsträckning i urbana trafikmiljöer och detta kan innebära en större osäkerhet och otrygghet av elsparkcyklar i städerna och trafiksäkerheten kan påverkas negativt för oskyddade trafikanter. Detta examensarbete har som måSince 2017, electric scooters have become an increasingly common means of transportation in urbanized cities across Sweden for cover short mileage. Electric scooters are seen more often in urbanized cities and this can imply a greater sense of danger when the vehicles are driven more frequently in urban traffic environments, thus causing a greater impact on road safety for vulnerable road users. T
Det brinner, lågorna står från taket och än en gång väcks skräcken till liv i den svenska befolkningen. Gryningspyromanen har precis lämnat porten på Bollhusgatan 8 i Ystad och poliserna är honom hack i häl. Denna gång kommer bevisen att räcka för en fällande dom. Är gryningspyromanen egentligen pyroman? Om inte, vad är pyromani och varför faller inte Sveriges kändaste pyroman under begreppet? HurIt is burning, the flames have spread to the roof and once again, terror plagues the people of Sweden. Gryningspyromanen has just left the entrance of Bollhusgatan 8 in Ystad and the police are right behind him. This time, the evidence will be sufficient for a conviction.

Sedan införandet av lag (2006:45) om omvandling av fängelse på livstid (omvandlingslagen) har personer som dömts till livstids fängelse möjlighet att ansöka om att få livstidsstraffet omvandlat till ett tidsbestämt straff. Örebro tingsrätt prövar samtliga ansökningar om omvandling. Majoriteten av de som döms till livstids fängelse i Sverige döms för brottet mord. Att straffskalan för mord skärptesSince the passing of the Act (2006:45) on conversion of life imprisonment (omvandlingslagen), prisoners serving life sentences can apply for conversion from a life sentence to a fixed sentence. The petitions for conversion are adjudicated by Örebro district court. The majority of individuals serving life imprisonment in Sweden are convicted of murder. The increase of the severity of the penalty fo

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Non-resuscitation fluids constitute the majority of fluid administered for septic shock patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). This multicentre, randomized, feasibility trial was conducted to test the hypothesis that a restrictive protocol targeting non-resuscitation fluids reduces the overall volume administered compared with usual care.METHODS: Adults with septic shock in
Objective: A single center prospective non-randomized study to assess a systematically developed anatomically-based sentinel lymph node (SLN) algorithm in cervical cancer. Methods: Consecutive women with FIGO 2009 stage 1A2-2A1 cervical cancer undergoing robotic radical hysterectomy/trachelectomy between September 2014 and January 2023 had cervically injected Indocyanine Green (ICG) as a tracer fo
Regionalism, that has been always with us in different forms throughout the history and emerged as an alternative theory after the end of Cold War, enables us to explain new world order. Since the end of WWII, there are two types of regionalism explaining the dynamics of regional formations. The one that came into question from the end of WWII till end of Cold War is names as ‘old’ regionalism and
Our book has taken a distinctive, policy-oriented approach to IGR in analysing both specific crisis-driven problems and new, longer-term, and emerging policy issues confronting European governments. We have explored the shifting balances of power within IGR systems focused on the challenges of vertical and horizontal coordination within cross-country, comparative perspectives. In order to position
