PURPOSE: To determine whether reproductive and hormonal risk factors for breast cancer associate with mammography attendance. METHODS: We linked data from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study to the Malmö mammography register (Sweden, 1992-2009). We analyzed 11,409 women (age 44-72) who were free of breast cancer at study entry and a total of 69,746 screening invitations. Generalized Estimating Equatio

The thesis investigates elite children’s lives in China between 500 and 1000 ACE within the framework of historical anthropology. Based on ‘anomaly accounts’ (collected in the Taiping guangji), medical manuscripts, family instructions, ‘children’s books’, tomb inscriptions, official histories, law and tax code, and poetry, this thesis provides a general definition of childhood and children in medi

Background Both patient survival and the proportion of patients diagnosed with thin cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) have been steadily rising in Sweden as in most Western countries, although the rate of improvement in survival appears to have declined in Sweden at the end of the last millennium. Objectives To analyse the most recent trends in the distribution of tumour thickness (T category) as

BACKGROUND: The method of treatment of aortic valve stenosis in early infancy is still controversial. This study was performed to evaluate short-term and long-term outcome in our center during a 14-year period.METHODS: Between 1991 and 2004, 64 consecutive patients younger than 3 months old underwent open surgical commissurotomy because of aortic valve stenosis. Median age was 18 days (range, 1 to

Background: Despite uniform operating techniques, lack of fusion still occurs after ankle arthrodesis. Differences in the biological healing potential may be a factor but the mechanical performance of the arthrodesis construct because of varying bone quality also may be important. Internal compression techniques are preferred because of higher union rates, shorter fusion times, and fewer complicat

Since I finished my PhD thesis in June 2014, I have lived a stimulating but also somewhat precarious life at Lund University. It is no secret that permanent teaching positions are hard to come by, and during the time I have been teaching as temporary staff on a number of different courses, I have started to consider what the lack of permanent positions means for the pedagogical work carried out at

Shaken baby syndrome has typically been associated with findings of subdural haematoma, retinal haemorrhages and encephalopathy, which are referred to as the triad. During the last decade, however, the certainty with which the triad can indicate that an infant has been violently shaken has been increasingly questioned. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the triad in

Pain is a major health issue for each affected individual and has a large impact on health costs. Most of our knowledge about this defensive system rely on data from different animal experiments. There is an obvious need for a translational pain model allowing comparisons between experimental animals and humans. UVB irradiation of skin has been introduced as a valid translational pain model and th

Autoignition in SI engines is an abnormal combustion mode and may lead to engine knock in SI engines. Knock may cause damage and it is a source of noise in engines. It limits the compression ratio of the engine and a low compression ratio means low fuel conversion efficiency of the engine. In this paper a multi zone model based on an existing two zone model Hajireza et al., [1 and 12] and Stenlaas

OBJECTIVE: Investigate the relationship between changes in lower limb EMG root mean square (RMS) activity and changes in body movement during perturbed standing. Specifically, linear movement variance, torque variance and body posture were correlated against tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius RMS EMG activity during perturbed standing by vibration of the calf muscles. METHODS: Eighteen healthy pa

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The optimal position for pH electrode placement in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the discriminatory power of targeted pH recording immediately above the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) and to compare the results with those obtained by simultaneous recording at the conventional level for pH monitoring.

Skolverket inledde på uppdrag av Regeringen hösten 2009 försöksverksamhet med riksrekryterande gymnasial spetsutbildning inom matematik, naturvetenskapliga, samhällsvetenskapliga och humanistiska ämnen. Försöksverksamheten har kontinuerligt följts upp och kontinuerligt utvärderats sedan dess. Våren 2012 tog de första eleverna inom de nio först startade utbildningarna sin examen. Syftet med delutvä

Introduction: Traditional validation of umbilical cord blood samples with positive veno-arterial ΔpH and arterio-venous ΔpCO2 values confirms the source of samples, whereas negative Δvalues represent mix-up of samples. To investigate whether this is true, the distributions of V-A ΔpO2 and A-V Δlactate were also explored and related to clinical characteristics. In addition, different cord blood sam

More than 50 irregular satellites revolve around Jupiter and more than 30 around Saturn. There, at least three collisional families were identified. Among these, the Himalia family of prograde irregular moons at Jupiter is characterised by a velocity dispersion of several hundred m/s, inconsistent with a collisional origin (Nesvorný et al., 2003). Here we investigate whether the dispersion could s

Prediction of wound healing and major amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulceration is clinically important to stratify risk and target interventions for limb salvage. No consensus exists as to which measure of peripheral artery disease (PAD) can best predict outcomes. To evaluate the prognostic utility of index PAD measures for the prediction of healing and/ or major amputation among patie
