OBJECTIVE: To investigate if placental Doppler velocimetry can predict the recurrence of a small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetus in subsequent pregnancies. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: City cohort over 15 years attending a university hospital. METHODS: A total of 196 pregnancies suspected of a SGA fetus (<3rd percentile) evaluated by uterine and umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry. Blood

OBJECTIVE: To investigate a marker of tumor proliferation, Ki-67, and telomerase expression in glioblastoma multiforme and to compare the results of different mainly quantitative assessments, in relation to age and survival rates. METHODS: Immunohistochemical stainings of Ki-67 and hTERT were evaluated in 39 formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded surgical samples of glioblastoma multiforme diagnose

Angiosarcoma is a rare complication of breast cancer treatment. In order to define predictors, clinical presentation, and outcome, we characterized a population-based 50-year cohort of angiosarcomas after breast cancer. Clinical data were collected from all females with previous breast cancer who developed angiosarcomas/lymphangiosarcomas on the thoracic wall/upper extremity between 1958 and 2008

BACKGROUND: The maintenance of lifelong blood cell production ultimately rests on rare hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that reside in the bone marrow microenvironment. HSCs are traditionally viewed as mitotically quiescent relative to their committed progeny. However, traditional techniques for assessing proliferation activity in vivo, such as measurement of BrdU uptake, are incompatible with pres

BACKGROUND: Digital technologies are increasingly central to supporting autonomy, health, and social participation in later life. However, disparities persist in the ability to keep up with technological developments, affecting individuals' opportunities to benefit from digital health and social innovations.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate factors associated with individuals' self-report

Background: The aim was to evaluate whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool for the automated quantification of the total metabolic tumour volume (tMTV) in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) could support nuclear medicine specialists in lesion segmentation and thereby enhance inter-observer agreement. Methods: Forty-eight consecutive patients who underwent staging with [18F]FDG PET/CT

Chemical pollution is identified as a significant driver of biodiversity loss, raising concerns about the effectiveness of current environmental risk assessment (ERA) practices. Conventional ERA approaches primarily rely on the endpoints of mortality, growth, and reproduction, often failing to capture the full scope of potential effects that chemicals can have on organisms. This is potentially pro

INTRODUCTION: Amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET) is pivotal to Alzheimer's management, with the Centiloid standardizing measurements across tracers. AMYPAD trials (Diagnostic and Patient Management Study [DPMS] and Prognostic and Natural History Study [PNHS]) aimed to validate robust quantification in clinical settings. We report our comprehensive approach to amyloid-PET implementation, co

Aims/hypothesis: Type 1 diabetes develops gradually, and previous exposures may influence incidence. We aimed to assess the geographical variation in type 1 diabetes incidence in Sweden by considering all residential locations from birth to diagnosis in individuals aged 0–30 years, diagnosed between 2005 and 2022. Significant high- and low-risk clusters were identified for different life stage exp

At the first Nordic meeting for linguists with a research interest in reading and writing, held in Løgumkloster, Denmark, in 1987, we reported on a longitudinal study we had just started. The aim of the study was to find out which kind of linguistic disabilities are the most damaging for the development of reading and writing (Magnusson & Nauclér 1990 a, b). When reading is looked upon as a li
