Background: Comorbidity impacts overall survival amongst patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, associations of comorbidity with lymphoma characteristics, treatment selection and lymphoma-specific mortality are less well known. Objective: To examine the impact of comorbidity on DLBCL characteristics, treatment intent and cause of death. Methods: We identified 3905 adult pati
BackgroundComplex clusters of rearrangements are a challenge in interpretation of cancer genomes. Some clusters of rearrangements demarcate clear amplifications of driver oncogenes but others are less well understood. A detailed analysis of rearrangements within these complex clusters could reveal new insights into selection and underlying mutational mechanisms.Patients and methodsHere, we systema
Allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) is currently considered the standard of care for patients with specific inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). However, there is a paucity of studies describing long-term survival and cause-specific late mortality after BMT in these patients with individual types of IEM. We studied 273 patients who had survived ≥2 years after allogeneic BMT for IEM perf
Cleanliness has seen a rapid increase in both developed and developing countries, along with a parallel rise in not only water and energy but also cleaning products consumed. Water and energy supply as well as dealing with waste are environmentally critical in securing a sustainable future. This dissertation aims to contribute to sustainability by providing new insights around how conventions chan
I Helsingborgs stad genomfördes 2016 till 2017 ett projekt som syftade till att förbättra samverkan mellan skola och HVB-hem för att gynna integrationsarbetet.Integration ska, enligt svensk politik, kännetecknas av invandrares och flyktingars rätt till välfärdstjänster. Personer som kommer som invandrare eller flyktingar har också rätt att bejaka och uttrycka sin egen kulturella identitet och ska
Human-induced climate change is expected to cause major biotic changes in species distributions and thereby including escalation of novel host-parasite associations. Closely related host species that come into secondary contact are especially likely to exchange parasites and pathogens. Both the Enemy Release Hypothesis (where invading hosts escape their original parasites) and the Novel Weapon Hyp
Background: Little research has been conducted regarding the relationship between sleep disorders and different pain types in Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective: To explore the influence of the various pain subtypes experienced by PD patients on sleep. Methods: Three hundred consecutive PD patients were assessed with the PD Sleep Scale-Version 2 (PDSS-2), King's PD Pain Scale (KPPS), King's PD Pa
Breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2-driven tumors may benefit from targeted therapy. It is not clear whether current BRCA screening guidelines are effective at identifying these patients. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of inherited BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants in a large, clinically representative breast cancer cohort and to estimate the proportion of BRCA1/2 carriers not d
