Purpose: Systemic amyloidosis represents a yet poorly characterized complex and multifaceted rare multisystem disease with high mortality. Clinical presentation, clinical course, and treatment vary within and across subtypes. Established biomarkers are predominantly non-specific. Diagnosis and management of these patients require specifically tailored interdisciplinary structures. Well-characteriz
Lymphocytic infiltration of different exocrine and non-exocrine epithelia is the pathological hallmark of primary Sjogren's syndrome, whereas involvement of salivary and lachrymal glands with the clinical counterpart of dry eye and dry mouth are the predominant features of the disease, together with fatigue and musculoskeletal pain.

Background: Knee replacement (KR) is the most common osteoarthritis (OA) related surgery. Studies suggest that there are major international and national disparities in pre-operative information, support and access to rehabilitation which have a substantial impact on patients’ perceived outcomes of the KR. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore experiences and perceptions of the care pat
Background: Chromosomal translocations t(11;22) (q24;q12) are characteristic of about 80-90% of Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors [bone and soft tissue Ewing's sarcoma and peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (PNET)]. They generate ews/fli1 rearrangements showing great diversity in breakpoint exon combination. In about 5% of Ewing's tumors, ews is fused to the erg gene at 21q22. The various chimeric p
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Född utan ändtarmsöppning – det finns mer hjälp! Varje år föds femtio barn i Sverige utan ändtarmsöppning, så kallad analatresi. De sista 2-3 centimetrarna av ändtarmen saknas liksom ändtarmsöppningen och delar av ringmuskeln. Orsaken tros vara plötsligt uppkomna genförändringar tidigt hos fostret.

The reconstruction of ARM, posterior sagiccal anorectal plasty (PSARP), was implemenred worldwide in the late 1980s and therefore the follow-ups are limited. Aims: To assess bowel symptoms in children and adolescents with ARM, operated on with PSARP, and to
The overall aim of this work was to evaluate symptoms, subjectively scored function and physical outcome in patients with surgically treated ankle fractures. Another aim was also to evaluate the effects of a standardised but individually suited supervised training program. In all, 209 patients with surgically treated ankle fractures were included in three different samples: 54 individuals aged 18-
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CTS from an estimated prevalence of 2-4% in the general population to 15-30% in diabetics. Results after carpal tunnel release in diabetic patients with CTS have been sparsely investigated and the basis for its increased prevalence in diabetes is yet unkn
STUDY QUESTION Is male factor infertility associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes? SUMMARY ANSWER The study provides evidence that male factor infertility may predict later occurrence of diabetes mellitus with the risk being related to the severity of the underlying fertility problem. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Previous cross-sectional studies have shown an increased prevalence of como
Purpose The purpose of this study was to illuminate how men under 65 years of age experience their everyday Life one year or more after a radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer. Method Interviews with 19 men aged under 65 were performed 12–18 months after their radical prostatectomy. The interviews were analysed using a thematic content analysis. Results The analysis of the interviews
Background: Residual air accumulated air in the pulmonary veins constitutes a challenge to achievment of complete de-airing in open left heart surgery. To adress this problem, a conceptual method for de-airing was developed in Lund comprising bilateral opening of the pleurae to induce pulmonary collapse and a strategy with gradual pulmonary reperfusion and ventilation at weaning from cardiopulmona
A total of 330 in-patient episodes at the urology ward, with a mean duration of 9.8 days, were registered in a study of 100 patients who died from urological cancer. Twelve patients spent more than two months of their last year of life at the urology ward. As many as 82% of the admittances were on an emergency basis. A total of 101 operations were performed on 84 patients; 47 patients received pal

Strålbehandling kan användas för att behandla olika cancerdiagnoser. Man vill då kunna rikta strålningen mot tumören medan så lite frisk vävnad som möjligt bestrålas. Olika studier visar att för patienter som behandlas med strålbehandling för cancer i vänster bröst är förekomsten av och dödligheten i olika hjärtsjukdomar högre än för de som behandlas med strålbehandling för cancer i höger bröst. DPurpose: To evaluate the benefits of using respiratory gating for left-sided breast cancer in the form of dose-sparing and biological effects to the heart and to investigate the set-up deviations for patients treated with respiratory gating in order to find an optimal correction strategy for this group of patients. Materials and methods: Nineteen patients treated with respiratory gating for left-
Wetlands in urban areas will be crucial to counteract the effects of climate change, for example, by improving flood protection and regulating local climate. To gain acceptance for larger-scale creation of wetlands, total values must be identified and revealed. Provisioning and regulating ecosystem services can be described as the quantitative effect, but cultural ecosystem services require other
Counterfactual history constitutes a prominent subgenre of speculative fiction. Nevertheless, though diverging from actual historical events, such works tend to otherwise be highly realistic. Other speculative fiction goes much further, creating not only an alternative timeline but an alternate reality governed by different physical laws. This chapter coins the term “counterphysical” to describe l
