Introduction: Thyroid cancer (TC) is diagnosed in several histological types which differ in their clinical characteristics and survival. We aim to describe how they influence TC survival in Sweden. Methods: Cancer data were obtained from the Swedish cancer registry between years 1999 and 2018, and these were used to analyze relative survival. Results: Relative survival for all TC improved when an

surgery (i.e. resection or liver transplantation), but only 10-20% of patients are candidates for this. In other patients, a variety of palliative treatments can be given, such as chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation or recentlyPrimary liver cancers (i.e. hepatocellular carcinoma or cholangiocarcinoma) are worldwide some of the most frequent cancers, with rapidly fatal liver failure in a lar

In the present study, we compare modern and Quaternary ostracods from two lacustrine basins: Laguna Cari-Laufquen (41 degrees S) and Lago Cardiel (49 degrees S) in Patagonia. Taxonomic and quantitative analyses along with isotopic and chemical studies of the extant ostracod fauna indicate that distinct ostracod associations can be identified as a function of conductivity. Three ostracod associatio

Background and purpose — Rates of knee replacement (KR) are increasing worldwide. Based on population and practice changes, there are forecasts of a further exponential increase in primary knee replacement through to 2030, and a corresponding increase in revision knee replacement. We used registry data to document changes in KR over the past 15 years, comparing practice changes across Sweden, Aust

A paleomagnetic and chronogical study has been performed on the Turinge gabbro-diabase formation and on a cross cutting basic dyke in central Sweden and on the Joulovaara gabbro intrusion in northern Sweden in the Fennoscandian Shield. U-Pb age of baddeleyite and 40Ar/39Ar ages of hornblende and biotite reveal a cooling history of the deep gabbro-diabase intrusion in Turinge. The cooling is sugges

Background: In healthy hearts, left ventricular atrioventricular plane displacement (LVAVPD) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) contributes to ∼60% of stroke volume. LVAVPD has been shown to correlate with maximal cardiac output and exercise capacity and is an independent predictor of outcomes in patients with heart failure. We aimed to assess if longitudinal pumping is altered, if LVAVP

Reactions of LXYL17 or LXYL18 (LXYL17 = α,α′-bis[((1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)methyl)-N-(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)-amino]-m-xylene; LXYL18 = α,α′-bis[((1-methyl-2-benzimi-dazolyl)-methyl)-N-(2-pyridylethyl)-amino]-m-xylene) with [Cu(MeCN)4](ClO4) in CH2Cl2 at 298 K, subsequent exposure to dioxygen, and work-up from MeCN–MeOH, led to [CuII2(LXYL17)(μ-OMe)2](ClO4)2•0·5H2O (1) and [CuII2(L XYL18)(μ-OM

The Re-Os (rhenium-osmium) chronometer applied to molybdenite (MoS2) is now demonstrated to be remarkably robust, surviving intense deformation and high-grade thermal metamorphism. Successful dating of molybdenite is dependent on proper preparation of the mineral separate and analysis of a critical quantity of molybdenite, unique to each sample, such that recognized spatial decoupling of 187Re par

With the rapid growth of mobile communication systems, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology plays a key role in enhancing communication systems to meet growing data traffic demands. However, scaling the technology further challenges the system designers to balance design tradeoffs in order to provide efficient and low-cost communication systems. This requires efficient hardware

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många av alla kemiska processer som pågår i våra kroppar utförs av proteiner. När de inte fungerar blir vi sjuka. I vissa fall, till exempel vid Alzheimers sjukdom eller Creutzfeld Jacobs sjukdom, beror det på att ett visst protein har fel form. Att förstå hur proteiner antar sin slutliga form och vad det har för inverkan på proteinets funktion är således viktigt. ÅVery little is known about a considerable part of all proteins and it is time consuming and expensive to study each individual protein to determine its function, structure and cellular role. Proteins retain structural, functional and sequential characteristics from ancestral proteins and hence two proteins that share a common ancestor, i.e. are homologs, will to some extent have similar sequen
