Background The impact of the prophylactic vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, and 18 (HPV6/11/16/18) on all HPV-associated genital disease was investigated in a population that approximates sexually naive women in that they were "negative to 14 HPV types" and in a mixed population of HPV-exposed and -unexposed women (intention-to-treat group). Methods This analysis studied
OBJECTIVE: To study intra-aneurysm sac pressure and subsequent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameter changes in patients without endoleaks that remain unchanged in AAA diameter more than 1 year after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). METHODS: A total of 23 patients underwent direct intra-aneurysm sac pressure (DISP) measurements 16 months (IQR: 14-35 months) after EVAR. Tip-pressure sensors
Background: Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) enables non-invasive quantification of cardiac output (CO) and thereby cardiac index (CI, CO indexed to body surface area). The aim of this study was to establish if CI decreases with age and compare the values to CI for athletes and for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods: CI was measured in 144 healthy volunteers (39 +/- 16 ye
The source contributions to carbonaceous PM2.5 aerosol were investigated at a European background site at the edge of the Po Valley, in Northern Italy, during the period January-December 2007. Carbonaceous aerosol was described as the sum of 8 source components: primary (1) and secondary (2) biomass burning organic carbon, biomass burning elemental carbon (3), primary (4) and secondary (5) fossil
Background: Several attempts to increase the locoregional control in locally advanced lung cancer including concurrent chemotherapy, accelerated fractionation and dose escalation have been made during the last years. As the EGFR directed antibody cetuximab has shown activity concurrent with radiotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, as well as in stage IV NSCLC combined with che
Dwarf galaxies are a key component in understanding the evolution of galaxies and provide tests on the standard cosmological $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter model. According to the formation hierarchy, dwarf galaxies are the pieces that create all galaxies. Our current understanding of dwarf galaxies faces discrepancies between theory and observations. These problems are mostly due to incompleteness in
I takt med att tekniken går framåt blir den även vanligare i undervisningen. I dagsläget används IT som hjälpmedel på de flesta skolor och att elever ska lära sig att använda teknik är nu även en del av läroplanen. Då molntjänster har utvecklats och blivit en större del av våra privatliv så har de även senaste åren tagit sig in i skolan, även om det inte alla gånger varit lagligt. Tidigare forskni
This qualitative case-study highlights the importance of the phenomenon of migration, under the aspect of civic activism of migrants, and its impact on Italian agricultural sustainable development. Migrants are too often seen as a burden rather than active agents of development. The present research investigates how political activism of migrants develops and eventually affects the sustainable dev
In an urbanizing world, challenged by climate change and rising temperatures, street vegetation can help mitigate urban temperatures. However, scaling the understanding of street vegetation’s cooling effects from local observations to the city level introduces challenges. While several studies have assessed the influence of street greenery on land surface temperature (LST) at the city scale using
33Background: PSMA PET has been shown to detect more metastasis and alter management at biochemical recurrence (BCR), but it remains to be determined that it changes oncologic outcome. We assessed the quantitative parameters on 18F-DCFPyL PET at BCR and evaluated their association with tumor volume, metastatic locations with the subsequent biochemical progression free survival (bPFS). Methods: Thi
Background: Mammography screening programmes have been widely implemented across European countries over the past 40 years with the main aim to detect breast cancer earlier and thereby reduce breast cancer mortality. This study aimed to analyse and compare changes over time in breast cancer incidence, by stage at diagnosis, and breast cancer mortality across countries in relation to the timing of
Due to the threat climate change poses, the aviation industry needs to adapt. In the process to convert the aviation fleet into a more environmentally friendly fleet, using biofuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels as a drop-in fuel remains a promising option. To include biofuels, safety aspects need to be investigated, where combustion instabilities are important. Thermo-acoustic instabilities
AIMS: To build a comprehensive biobank integrated in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF) comprising comprehensive clinomic data, proteomic, transcriptomic and genomic information in combination with clinical and diagnostic characteristics and additional ICD-code registry data.METHODS: Blood and urine samples will be biobanked at SwedeHF registration with an optional second sampling after
Background: Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is a well-known risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, studies examining its relation to atrial fibrillation (AF) have produced conflicting results and suggested possible sex-specific differences. This study investigated the sex-specific associations between serum apoB concentrations and incident AF and offer insight into the inconsistencies in previous resea
INTRODUCTION: Since the last two decades, there has been a dramatic rise in caesarean sections (CS) throughout the world. This increase has been seen even in Europe, where rates vary significantly from 17% in Northern Europe to 56% in the South. Although, CS can be a lifesaving intervention when medically necessary, non-essential CS are associated with short- and long-term complications for both t
Importance Substantial improvements in childhood cancer survival have created a critical need to address serious long-term health complications, such as valvular heart disease (VHD). Objective To identify treatment-related risk factors for VHD in a large European cohort of long-term childhood cancer survivors. Design, Setting, and Participants This nested case-control study used data from the PanC
Genom att studera åldrandets olika faser och fokusera på människor mitt i livet kan forskare vid Lunds universitet utveckla proaktiva angreppssätt inom sjukvård, socialtjänst och samhällsplanering. Det kommer att bidra till förbättrad hälsa och livskvalitet för kommande generationer äldre. Demenssjukdomar och artros är exempel på sjukdomar som blir vanligare med stigande ålder, och som till viss d
