Abstract Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcome of men with an initial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level below 3 ng/mL and whether the free-to-total (F/T PSA) ratio is a useful prognostic marker in this range. Materials and methods: This study is based on 5,174 men aged 50–66 years, who in 1995–1996 participated in the first round of the Göteborg randomized screening trial (initial T-PSA

OBJECTIVES: Statins may decrease the risk of primary venous thromboembolism (VTE), that is, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) but the effect of statins in preventing recurrent VTE is less clear. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the association between statin therapy and risk of recurrent VTE.DESIGN: A prospective cohort study.SETTING: All hospitals in Denmark

Context: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) affects people of all ages and is associated with poor prognosis. Chronic breathlessness affects almost all people with PAH. Objectives: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study aimed to evaluate the effects of regular, low-dose, extended-release (ER) morphine for PAH-associated chronic breathlessness. Methods: Participants w

Introduction: Tension band wiring of olecranon fractures has high reported rates of complications and reoperations. We aimed to compare classic tension band wiring to cerclage fixation without K-wires in the treatment of displaced olecranon fractures in elderly patients. The primary outcome was reoperation. Secondary outcomes included complications and patient reported outcomes. Outcomes following

Aims To investigate seasonality and association of increased enterovirus and influenza activity in the community with ventricular fibrillation (VF) risk during first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods This study comprised all consecutive patients with first STEMI (n = 4,659; aged 18–80 years) admitted to the invasive catheterization laboratory between 2010–2016, at Copenhagen Univ

Objectives: The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) has not been validated to diagnose aphasia in the stroke population. We therefore examined the diagnostic accuracy of NIHSS for detecting aphasia in acute ischemic stroke. Methods: Consecutive patients with acute first-ever ischemic stroke were included prospectively in Lund Stroke Register Study at Skåne University Hospital, Swede

Background: In the 1960s only 1/3 of children with soft-tissue sarcomas survived, however with improved treatments survival today has reached 70%. Given the previous poor survival and the rarity of soft-tissue sarcomas, the risk of somatic late effects in a large cohort of Nordic soft-tissue sarcoma survivors has not yet been assessed. Methods: In this population-based cohort study we identified 9

Background: Lemierre syndrome is characterized by head/neck vein thrombosis and septic embolism usually complicating an acute oropharyngeal bacterial infection in adolescents and young adults. We described the course of Lemierre syndrome in the contemporary era. Methods: In our individual-level analysis of 712 patients (2000–2017), we included cases described as Lemierre syndrome if these criteria

Objectives: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies [ANCA) are important for diagnosis of ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV). The timing of antibody development is not well established. To investigate the development of proteinase 3 (PR3)- and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA, blood samples collected before onset of symptoms of AAV were analysed. Methods: To identify AAV patients with blood samples p

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The severity of the atherosclerotic burden is hardly quantifiable in subjects at high cardiovascular (CV) risk under intensive pharmacological therapy. Several molecules have been proposed as circulating biomarkers of atherosclerosis, but none has emerged as clinically meaningful.METHODS: Circulating proteins involved in inflammation, plaque remodeling, smooth muscle cell migr

Increased blood lipid levels are heritable risk factors of cardiovascular disease with varied prevalence worldwide owing to different dietary patterns and medication use1. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, in particular through reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels2, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide3. Genome-wideassociation studies (GWAS) of bloo

Arctic environmental change induces shifts in high-latitude plant community composition and stature with implications for Arctic carbon cycling and energy exchange. Two major components of change in high-latitude ecosystems are the advancement of trees into tundra and the increased abundance and size of shrubs. How future changes in key climatic and environmental drivers will affect distributions

This review aimed to summarize and estimate the TB treatment success rate and factors associated with unsuccessful TB treatment outcomes in Africa. Potentially eligible primary studies were retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar. The risk of bias and quality of studies was assessed using The Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) appraisal criteria, while heterogeneity across studies was assessed using

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are important risk factors for suicide, yet little is known about how suicide risks vary by specific SUDs. We examined these risks for the first time in a large general population to facilitate comparisons across SUDs. A national cohort study was conducted of all 6,947,191 adults in Sweden. SUDs (opioid, sedative/hypnotic, hallucinogen, cannabis, amphetamine, cocaine

Magnetkameran används vanligen för att generera anatomiska bilder som används vid diagnostik av olika sjukdomstillstånd. Normala anatomiska bilder avspeglar magnetresonanssignalens (MR-signalens) magnitud, vilket är signalvektorns längd. Denna är proportionell mot bl.a. antalet vätekärnor i varje volymselement. Ett annat sätt att använda MR-signalen är att skapa en bild av signalvektorns fasvinkelIntroduction: The main purpose of this study was to extract global values of oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) in healthy volunteers, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phase maps. The repeatability of the method was evaluated, and the age dependences of OEF and CMRO2 were analyzed. Material and methods: Phase data were acquired using a 3T MRI scann

Dagens miljöproblem måste lösas för att skona framtida generationer och miljön. Miljöcertifiering är en bit på vägen. Syftet med denna rapport är att redogöra för vad det innebär att miljöcertifiera en byggnad. Rapporten behandlar hur olika miljöcertifieringsmetoder fungerar och hur arbetsmetodiken för en certifiering ser ut. Eftersom det finns olika miljöcertifieringsmetoder är syftet också att gTitle: Environmental certification of buildings with Miljöbyggnad, Green Building, BREEAM and LEED - A review of the methods with comprehensive comparison Problem: Today's environmental problems must be solved in order to spare future generations and the environment. Environmental certification is a part of the solution. So what is the point with environmental certification and what reasons a

Lantmännen Lantbruk har i ett projekt tillsammans med Lunds Tekniska Högskola utvecklat en modell för analys av vattenhalt i svenskodlad raps med tekniken Fourier Transform Nära Infraröd (FT-NIR). Kvaliteten i de mätvärden som modellen levererar är mycket lik kvaliteten i den metodik (referensmetodik) som försökte efterliknas när modellen skapades. Även ur ett internationellt perspektiv presterar A FT-NIR (Fourier-Transform Near Infrared) model for moisture content has been developed for whole seeds of Swedish rapeseed (Brassica napus) by the conditions given during the harvest of 2014. Compared to Internal standardized (ISO) method 665, the final model showed very small differences in terms of repeatability and measurement uncertainty even though the measurement time was four times faster
