Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) is an attractive form of local therapy against cancer because of its anti-tumor immune activity. The aim of this work was to evaluate ILT in breast cancer with respect to technique, changes in tissue immunocompetent cells and effect on prognosis. The method is dependent on accurate assessment of the tumor, and another aim was therefore to evaluate if MRI is b

Background: Surgical resection of post-chemotherapy residual masses for metastatic seminoma is discussed controversially with regard to oncological and functional outcome. Furthermore, the role of FDG-PET/CT to detect vital seminoma is still unclear. It is the aim of this study is to report the outcomes of patients with pure seminoma who underwent PC-RPLND. Methods: In this retrospective multi-ins
Background. Splenectomy is accompanied by a life-long risk of overwhelming postsplenectomy infection (OPSI), mainly caused by polysaccharide (PS) encapsulated bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. Despite extensive prophylactic efforts the mortality and morbidity rates remain high. The present study was based on a strategy with a predefined vaccination algorithm including repeated 23-valent p
Popular Abstract in Swedish Brännskador orsakade av eld, hett vatten, ånga, frätande kemikalier och elektricitet förekommer i hela världen men det är utvecklingsländerna som är värst drabbade av dessa olyckor. Av de dödsfall från brännskador som rapporterades år 1998 kom 98 % från utvecklingsländer enligt världshälsoorganisationen (WHO). Andelen dödsfall från den afrikanska kontinenten utgjorde 24Background: The burden of burn injuries is in developing countries, the majority of deaths (98%) related to fire burns are in developing countries.These injuries are associated with poverty and are mainly related to accidents with fires in the home environment. Aims: The aims of the thesis were to record the risk factors, causes, magnitude and outcome of burn treatment as well as establish circums
AIMS: The CHA2DS2VASc score is used to evaluate the risk of thromboembolic events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. We assessed the prognostic yield of CHA2DS2VASc for new-onset atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a non-atrial fibrillation population.METHODS: We analysed a population-based cohort of 22,179 middle-aged individuals with (n = 3542) and with
Background Evidence-based guidance for starting ages of screening for first-degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) to prevent stage III/IV or fatal PCa is lacking in current PCa screening guidelines. We aimed to provide evidence for risk-adapted starting age of screening for relatives of patients with PCa. Methods and findings In this register-based nationwide cohort study,

Background: The 2019 European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) and the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) have recently proposed sarcopenia definitions. However, comparisons of the performance of these approaches in terms of thresholds employed, concordance in individuals and prediction of important health-related outcomes such as death are limited. We addre
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major medical and public health problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries including Ethiopia. Its control program is currently being challenged by the spread of drug-resistant TB, which is the result of poor treatment outcomes. Hence, this study assessed poor adult TB treatment outcomes and associated factors in Gibe Woreda, Southern Ethiopia. An
Denna uppsats har till syfte att utreda det rättsliga klimatet och se på vilka faktorer som påverkade rättstillämpningen under de svenska häxprocessernas tidiga skede. Den ska även se hur detta tillsammans med myndigheternas agerande påverkade processernas fortsatta spridning. För att uppnå detta inleds uppsatsen med att ge en överblick över samhället och den gällande rätten vid häxprocessernas This paper aims to investigate the legal environment during period of 1667-1672 and to see which factors influenced the application of law during the Swedish witch trials in their early stages. It will also investigate how these factors, along with the actions of the authorities, affected how the early witch trials spread over the country. To achieve this, the essay begins by giving an overview of
Introduction: Although Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with early death, its life expectancy differs greatly between patients. A better understanding of this heterogeneity may reveal important disease mechanisms underlying the malignancy of AD. The aim of this study was to examine the relation between AD pathologies and early death in AD caused by dementia. Methods: At a memory clinic, 247
