PURPOSE: The first interim analysis of the phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled TITAN study showed that apalutamide significantly improved overall survival (OS) and radiographic progression-free survival in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) receiving ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

Human activities and climate change affect hydrological and sedimentological characteristics within catchments. For arid and semiarid areas this induces direct negative economic and environmental consequences on society. In fact, stability in the rainfall regime and less siltation trapped in reservoirs mean more water for irrigation, water supply, and better flood control. This is especially impor
AIM: Self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) as bridge to surgery have been questioned due to the fear of perforation and tumour spread. This study aimed to compare SEMS and stoma as bridge to surgery in acute malignant large bowel obstruction in the Swedish population. METHOD: Medical records of patients identified via the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Register 2007-2009 were collected and scrutinized.

Det är en debatt med starka ideologiska förtecken och det är tydligt att prostitution är en fråga som inte lämnar någon oberörd. Uppsatsens syfte är utreda vilka ideologiska värderingar och skyddsintressen som återfinns i lagstiftarens syn på pThe Swedish prohibition of the purchase of a sexual service has been in effect for 16 years.

Enligt svensk rätt ska utländska äktenskap erkännas om de är giltiga enligt lagen i det land de ingåtts. Undantaget till detta är om äktenskapet går emot svensk ordre public. Huruvida så är fallet för polygami är fortfarande osäkert. Det här arbetet kommer inte beröra huruvida Sverige bör ha en begränsning på antal äktenskap eller inte, utan fokus ligger på den svenska hanteringen av utländska polAccording to Swedish law a foreign marriage is recognized if it is valid under the law of the state where it was entered into.

This thesis will not touch upon whether or not Sweden should have a restriction on the number of parties in a marriage; instead it
En aktieägare har inget personligt betalningsansvar för aktiebolagets förpliktelser. Bolagets borgenärer har således endast bolagsförmögenheten som säkerhet för sina fordringar på bolaget. På grund av detta är det viktigt att en sådan förmögenhet tillförs bolaget då det bildas och att denna förmögenhet sedan stannar kvar i bolaget under verksamhetens gång, detta för att skydda borgenärerna. Det ärA shareholder has no personal liability for the obligations of the limited company.
