Objective: In non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), local recurrence after transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) is common. Outcomes vary between urological centres, partly due to the sub-optimal surgical technique and insufficient application of measures recommended in the guidelines. This study evaluated early recurrence rates after primary TURB for NMIBC before and after introduci

Introduction: Adjuvant endocrine therapy improves recurrence-free and overall survival in primary breast cancer. However, not all patients complete their planned treatment, mostly because of side-effects. The aim of this study was to examine the adherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy in a cohort of primary breast cancer patients in Region Jönköping County, Sweden, after 3 and 5 years. Material an

The Syrian civil war has been described as a first example of the conflicts expected in the wake of climate change. The conflict, which started in 2011, was preceded by a severe drought in 2007–2009 that hit agriculture and the rural population hard. But what do we really know about what happened to Syria’s climate and agriculture before and after the start of the conflict? In this article, I summ

Four decades ago, a specific engineering BSc study program in Fire Safety Engineering was formed at Lund University, Sweden, and several Nordic universities have since included courses on such subjects in their own BSc og MSc programmes. The field of fire safety engineering encompasses topics from a wide range of engineering disciplines, including mathematics, physics, chemistry and advanced engin

INTRODUCTION: Administration of large volumes of fluids is associated with poor outcome in septic shock. Recent data suggest that non-resuscitation fluids are the major source of fluids in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients suffering from septic shock. The present trial is designed to test the hypothesis that a protocol targeting this source of fluids can reduce fluid administration compared w

Aim: Geo-referenced species occurrence records are a prime example of biodiversity data and a cornerstone of biodiversity research. Yet, their availability depends on non-biological factors, including the political framework in the region of collection. Here we present Bio-Dem (www.bio-dem.surge.sh), an open-source software to explore the relationship between the availability of species occurrence

One of the main issues in context of the severe economical changes on the local media market and the measures the media companies are forced to take is how to maintain high quality of news journalism in the local press. There are concerns that the quality of news will decline and content will be commercialized as McManus (1994) describes it as a market-driven journalism when profit becomes the leaThe local media organisations in Sweden have the last years been involved in initiating new model of business (Melesko 2013). They have mainly been based on economical actions, as cut-downs of editorial staff, integration of different pressrooms and expanded co-operation between papers within same media organisations (Nygren 2013). For instance, editorials and cover of culture news has on several

This thesis concerns various aspects of somatic mosaicism and genetic intratumor heterogeneity in childhood cancer.In paper I, I show that aneuploidy in itself does not lead to the level of chromosomal instability that is typically seen in malignant cells. This finding strongly argues against the so called autocatalytic theory of carcinogenesis.Paper II illustrates that, in rare cases, low-level s

Objective: To explore the evidence and knowledge gaps in sentinel node biopsy (SNB) in prostate cancer through a consensus panel of experts. Methods: A two-round Delphi survey among experts was followed by a consensus panel meeting of 16 experts in February 2016. Agreement voting was performed using the research and development project/University of California, Los Angeles Appropriateness Methodol

Objectives: The purpose was to study long-term outcome after thrombolysis for acute arterial lower limb ischaemia, and to evaluate the results depending on the underlying aetiology of arterial occlusion. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients entered into a prospective database. Patients were identified in prospective databases from two vascular centres, including a large number of va

The objective of this study was to probe the molecular mechanisms underlying the increase in sensitivity of cells to bradykinin (BK) following expression of a transforming Ha-ras oncogene. We used native NIH3T3 fibroblast (3T3) cells and 3T3 cells transfected with a glucocorticoid-sensitive oncogenic Ha-ras construct (DT cells). DT cells incubated in the presence of 1 μM dexamethasone (DEX) for 24

We have previously shown that exposure of DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells to the agonist bradykinin (BK) resuits in a rapid B2 kinin receptor-mediated internalization of BK followed by degradation of the intracellular BK [Munoz, C. M., and Leeb-Lundberg, L. M. F. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 303-309]. Here, we show that BK internalization is paralleled by sequestration of the occupied B2 receptors. Se

This paper presents a stabilized incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method to simultaneously simulate surface and seepage flow. The Navier-Stokes type equation, which manipulates the linear and nonlinear resistance effects caused from porous materials, are employed for tracking fluid motions in porous medium. The SPH method is one of the mesh-less particle methods and its Lagran

Principen om barnets bästa är en grundläggande princip inom den svenska och internationella barnrätten. Barnets bästa ska vara i främsta rummet vid alla åtgärder som rör barn och är en av barnkonventionens viktigaste grundpelare. Denna uppsats är avsedd att granska vilken innebörd begreppet barnets bästa är avsett att ha enligt barnkonventionen och utlänningslagen. Avsikten är även att granska hurThe principle of the best interests of the child is a fundamental part of both Swedish and international children´s rights: in all actions concerning children, the best interest of the child should at least be a primary consideration. This is a foundation principle of the 1990 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The aim of this thesis is to examine what meaning the principle of the best inte

The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers’ experience of communicating with children using an interpreter and analysing the challenges. We conducted qualitative interviews with the focus groups of social workers in a city in the southern part of Sweden. They all served at the social services in the municipality. Totally, four focus group interviews were conducted with four partic

Animals´ omnipresence in human society makes them both close to and yet remarkably distant from humans. Human and animal lives have always been entangled, but the way we see and practice the relationships between humans and animals – as close, intertwined, or clearly separate – varies from time to time and between cultures, societies, and even situations. By putting these complex relationships in
