Survival after initial hospitalisation for heart failure: a multilevel analysis of patients in Swedish acute care hospitals

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Although national variation in short-term prognosis (that is, 30 day mortality) after a patients first hospitalisation for heart failure may depend on individual differences between patients, dissimilarities in hospital practices may also influence prognosis. This study, therefore, sought to disentangle patient determinants from institutional factors that might explain such variat

Relationships Between Climate and Flowering of Eight Herbs in a Swedish Deciduous Forest

Effects of annual variation in rainfall, temperature and humidity on flowering abundance of eight temperate woodland plants (Anemone nemorosa, Cardamine bulbifera, Lamiastrum galeobdolon,Oxalis acetosella , Ranunculus ficaria, Stellaria holostea, Viola reichenbachiana and Viola riviniana) were studied during 12 consecutive years (1989–2000) in a hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) forest in southeast Swed

Temperature as a driver for the expansion of the microalga Gonyostomum semen in Swedish lakes

Gonyostomum semen (Ehrenb) Diesing is a bloom-forming and noxious phytoplankton species, that usually occurs in brown-water lakes and which is often referred to as an invasive species. The aim of our study was to analyze changes over time in the occurrence and distribution of blooms, and to find possible drivers of this change. We also performed spatial analyses to identify environmental factors c

The PSEN1 I143T mutation in a Swedish family with Alzheimer's disease: clinical report and quantification of A beta in different brain regions

Early-onset dominantly inherited forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are rare, but studies of such cases have revealed important information about the disease mechanisms. Importantly, mutations in amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin 1 (PSEN1) and PSEN2, alter the APP processing and lead to an increased amyloid beta-peptide (A beta) 42/40 ratio. This, together with other studies on pathogenic

Genetic parameters for rennet- and acid-induced coagulation properties in milk from Swedish Red dairy cows.

Milk coagulation is an important processing trait, being the basis for production of both cheese and fermented products. There is interest in including technological properties of these products in the breeding goal for dairy cattle. The aim of the present study was therefore to estimate genetic parameters for milk coagulation properties, including both rennet- and acid-induced coagulation, in Swe

Effectiveness of Population-Based Service Screening With Mammography for Women Ages 40 to 49 Years Evaluation of the Swedish Mammography Screening in Young Women (SCRY) Cohort

BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of mammography screening for women ages 40 to 49 years still is questioned, and few studies of the effectiveness of service screening for this age group have been conducted. METHODS: Breast cancer mortality was compared between women who were invited to service screening at ages 40 to 49 years (study group) and women in the same age group who were not invited during 1

Effect of celecoxib on survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer: A double blind randomised clinical phase III trial (CYCLUS study) by the Swedish Lung Cancer Study Group

Background: Increased expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has been associated with poor prognosis. Experimental and clinical phase II trials have indicated that the addition of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib to palliative chemotherapy might increase survival time in patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: We performed a double-blind, placebo-con
