Large real-world registry data are important for understanding the current use and outcomes of novel therapies. The aim of this study was to assess treatment patterns and outcomes in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with prasugrel or clopidogrel. Consecutive patient data from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) for 2010 and 2011 were use

Summary. Physical activity has been considered as an important factor for bone density and as a factor facilitating prevention of osteoporosis. Bone density has been reported to be reduced in haemophilia. To examine the relation between different aspects of physical activity and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with severe haemophilia on long-term prophylaxis. The study group consisted of 38

BACKGROUND:: Epidemiological reports on risk and prognostic factors in patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) are scarce. METHODS:: Patients with MVT were identified through the inpatient and autopsy registry between 2000 and 2006 at Malmö University Hospital. RESULTS:: Fifty-one patients had MVT, diagnosed at autopsy in six. The highest incidence (11.3 per 100 000 person-years) was in t

While a dominant inheritance of breast cancer (vertical inheritance) is well known, less is known about a possible recessive inheritance (horizontal inheritance). In a clinical series of 1676 breast cancer patient's family history was scored as vertical (grandmother-aunt-mother-sister-daughter) or horizontal (sister-sister) and related to histopathological tumor type, presence of germline mutation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Samhällets stöd, service och vård till människor med psykiska funktionshinder har under de senaste decennierna genomgått stora förändringar. Det har skett en övergång från slutna till samhällsbaserade öppna vårdformer. De kraftiga nedskärningarna av den sjukhusbaserade psykiatriska vården har emellertid långt ifrån alltid ersatts med ett heltäckande och fungerande vård-

In Part I of this two-part paper, a formulation was developed to treat fragmentation in ice-ice collisions. In the present Part II, the formulation is implemented in two microphysically advanced cloud models simulating a convective line observed over the U.S. high plains. One model is 2D with a spectral bin microphysics scheme. The other has a hybrid bin-two-moment bulk microphysics scheme in 3D.

Objective: The risk of certain psychiatric disorders is elevated among immigrants. To date, no population studies on immigrant health have addressed eating disorders. We examined whether risk of eating disorders in first- and second-generation immigrants differs from native-born Danes and Swedes. Method: All individuals born 1984–2002 (Danish cohort) and 1989–1999 (Swedish cohort) and residing in

Background: Since the introduction of high-sensitivity troponin assays a greater proportion of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients present with dynamic troponin elevations. We hypothesize that significant coronary artery disease (CAD) causes relative ischemia in the setting of a rapid heart rate resulting in dynamic troponin elevation. The aim of this study was to examine if patients without known C

Purpose: The task-based assessment of image quality using model observers is increasingly used for the assessment of different imaging modalities. However, the performance computation of model observers needs standardization as well as a well-established trust in its implementation methodology and uncertainty estimation. The purpose of this work was to determine the degree of equivalence of the ch

Objective: Compare perioperative course and long-term mortality after liver resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases between patients who had preoperative treatment with portal vein embolization (PVE) and chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. Methods: Among patients undergoing liver resection for CRC metastases following preoperative chemotherapy treatment, 17 patients who had received pre

A 9-month lab experiment was carried out with three different amendments (vine pruning wastes, PW; composted vine pruning wastes, cPW; and sewage sludge, SS) added at three different rates (90, 180, and 240 t ha−1, dry weight) in order to test whether the type or the quantity of the amendments applied to a semiarid, degraded soil determined the Corg accumulation in its particle-size fractions (coa

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this investigation was to describe tumour characteristics, treatments and survival in patients with urinary bladder cancer (UBC) in a national population-based cohort, with special reference to gender-related differences.MATERIAL AND METHODS: All primary UBC patients with urothelial pathology reported to the Swedish National Registry of Urinary Bladder Cancer (SNRUBC) from 19

Clinical education is a significant part of nursing education on all levels of education. A lot of effort is made by educational providers to prepare the students for their clinical placement (Levett-Jones et al., 2015). At best, this is a shared enterprise, involving representatives from the profession in creating a useful clinical placement for the students. However, the strain on clinical nurse

Fintrådiga alger – husligt eller kusligt för djuren? Som många säkert vet har Östersjön varit (och är!) utsatt för många påtryckningar från oss människor. Näringsämnen från åkermark, utlopp, bekämpningsmedel har fått åka rakt ut i havet vilket har lett till övergödningen av Östersjön. Utöver det har det bedrivits ett överfiske under en lång tid som bland annat har minskat antalet stora rovfiskar.Macroalgae are important habitats which can be found almost all over the world. An alteration has been observed from perennial species to annual filamentous algae during the last decades. This change has affected the abundance, diversity and composition of the invertebrate fauna living in these habitats. This study observes how the increasing amounts of epiphytic, filamentous algae growing on the

In a multicultural society, different cultures come in contact with each other which leads to many people need to relate to several cultures in their everyday lives. This study is aimed to highlight, analyze and discuss how young adult Malmö residents with a foreign background, reason about their identity creation in an environment where they are often reminded that they are different from the cro

In this master thesis the writer has studied museums and their organization under the Covid-19 pandemic breakout of 2020. The 11 museums that been contacted are all located in southern Sweden. They are all varied in ownership, from municipality and state owned to those driven by private organizations. The museums in the study have all struggled with the pandemic. But the degree of financial loss a

OBJECTIVE: To examine long-term diabetes risk after preterm delivery or hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in a large population-based cohort. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included all women with a singleton delivery in Sweden during 1973–2015 and no preexisting diabetes mellitus. Participants were followed up for development of type 2 diabetes identified from nationwide outpatient an
