Objective: To analyze the age- and trial-specific effects of the breast cancer screening trials with mammography in Malmö, Stockholm, and Göteborg. Methods: The original trial files were linked to the Swedish Cancer and Cause of Death Registers to obtain date of breast cancer diagnosis and date and cause of death. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the evaluation mod
Elevated brain levels of apolipoprotein D (ApoD) correlate with improved neurological recovery after experimental stroke. Hence, a pharmacological induction of ApoD in the postischemic brain could be beneficial for recovery after stroke. Here we investigated the effect of Clozapine, a compound that increases the expression of ApoD, in two rat models of experimental stroke. Rats were subjected to p

I början av 1990-talet genomfördes en reform på vårdnadsområdet för personer med funktionsnedsättning, den s.k. LSS-reformen. Avsikten var att lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade skulle ge dessa personer bättre möjligheter att leva sina liv på samma sätt och på lika villkor som personer utan funktionsnedsättning. Lagen har därför utformats som en rättighetslagstiftninIn the early 1990s, Sweden undertook a major reform of care and support services for persons with disabilities: the so-called LSS reform. The aim of the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (1993:387) was to give such individuals better opportunities to live their lives on equal terms as persons without disabilities. The Act has therefore been designed
Introduction: Consensus is lacking regarding the upper limit for a safe contraction frequency during labor. We aimed to assess the association between different contraction frequencies and acidemia at birth, and whether an association was affected by oxytocin augmentation, concomitant cardiotocography (CTG) classification, and stage of labor. Material and Methods: This is a case–control study base
ObjectiveThe study aimed to explore attitudes and beliefs among midwives, obstetricians, and neonatologists regarding umbilical cord clamping practices, including scenarios involving neonatal compromise. The study was conducted in the context of exploring the potential for implementing intact cord resuscitation.Study designA national cross-sectional survey was administered electronically, using anObjectiveThe study aimed to explore attitudes and beliefs among midwives, obstetricians, and neonatologists regarding umbilical cord clamping practices, including scenarios involving neonatal compromise.

Background and aim of the study: The study aim was to analyze the relationship between patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) and in-hospital complications and mortality after aortic valve replacement (AVR). Methods: AVR was performed in 1,819 patients between January 1996 and July 2006. Follow up investigations were performed after a mean of 4.3 years (range: 0 days to 10.6 years). Univariate and mult
Objective To describe the experiences of people with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in different European countries of functioning and health and to link these experiences to the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to develop a common understanding from a bio-psycho-social perspective. Method A qualitative multicentre study with focus-group interviews was perform
The study set out to explore whether an index of atrial electrical electrophysiology can be used to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) relapse, and if the predictive properties differ as a result of arrhythmia duration. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study comprised 175 consecutive patients with persistent AF (median duration 94 days, range 2 to 1044) referred for cardioversion. Twenty-nine patients had a
To investigate cross-cultural validity of a simple self-report instrument of physical activity intended to be used in Swedish health care. Methods: A validation study performed in 599 Iraqis (58% men) and 553 Swedes (53% men) aged 30-75 years living in the city of Malmö, Sweden. The self-report instrument by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare was compared to corresponding measures as
Methacrylic acid was produced in high yield by an integrated process involving bioconversion of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (2M1,3PD) to 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid (3H2MPA) via 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal (3H2MPAL), and catalytic dehydration of the resulting acid. Whole cells of Gluconobacter oxydans grown on glycerol-based culture medium were used as the catalyst for oxidative biotransformation
When a system is maintained, its automated test suites must also be maintained to keep the tests up to date. Even though practice indicates that test suite maintenance can be very costly we have seen few studies considering the actual efforts for maintenance of testware. We conducted a case study on an evolving system with three updated versions, changed with three different change strategies.
In this study we investigated the impact of water uptake by aerosol particles in ambient atmosphere on their optical properties and their direct radiative effect (ADRE, W m(-2)) in the Arctic at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, during 2008. To achieve this, we combined three models, a hygroscopic growth model, a Mie model and a radiative transfer model, with an extensive set of observational data. We found t
The maldigestion and malabsorption of fat in infants fed milk formula results due to the minimal production of pancreatic lipase. Thus, to investigate lipid digestion and absorption and mimic the situation in newborns, a young porcine exocrine pancreatic insufficient (EPI) model was adapted and validated in the present study. A total of thirteen EPI pigs, aged 8 weeks old, were randomised into thr
A thorough computational study has been performed to investigate oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions catalyzed by dimethyl sulfoxide reductase (DMSOR) with a catalytic molybdenum or tungsten ion. Thirteen different density functional theory (DFT) methods have been employed to obtain structural parameters along the reaction pathway, and single-point energies were computed with local correlation co
Energy crops (willow, sugar beet and grass silage) were digested ill pilot scale two-stage anaerobic digesters. The specific methane yields obtained were 0.16, 0.38 and 0.39 m(3) kg(-1) added volatile solids (VSadded) for willow, sugar beet and grass, respectively, corresponding to yearly gross energy yields of 15, 53 and 26 megawatt-hours (MWh) per hectare. With grass and sugar beets as substrate
Purpose: The present study describes the prevalence of visual impairment and blindness in a geographically defined population 8 years after the introduction of a screening programme in 1987 for early detection of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy. Methods: Of 374 patients with diabetes, comprising 2.6% of the population in the study community, 72% were examined with fundus photography or bio
Interactions between two ectomycorrhizal fungal species, Piloderma croceum Erikss. and Hjortst. and Piloderma sp. 1 (found to colonise spruce roots and wood ash granules in the field), were investigated in wood ash amended substrates. The comparative ability of these fungi to colonise roots of non-mycorrhizal spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings was studied in relation to factorial combinati
This multicenter study describes the development of a chemoradiation protocol for the treatment of non-metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Eighty patients were treated with three courses of chemotherapy (cisplatinum and 5-fluorouracil) with concomitant radiotherapy (40 Gy) during the last two courses of chemotherapy. Esophagectomy was performed, when feasible. If no operation was
