OBJECTIVE: Radical prostatectomy reduces mortality among patients with localized prostate cancer, however up to 35% of patients will experience biochemical recurrence, often treated with salvage radiotherapy. The objective of the study was to investigate long-term effects of salvage radiotherapy. METHODS: A prospective, controlled, non-randomized trial at 14 Swedish center's including 4,003 patien
Purpose: Guidelines recommend targeting mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 65 mmHg in patients after cardiac arrest (CA). Recent trials have studied the effects of targeting a higher MAP as compared to a lower MAP after CA. We performed a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis to investigate the effects of higher versus lower MAP targets on patient outcome. Method: We searched the
BACKGROUND: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without targeted biopsy, is an alternative to standard transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy for prostate-cancer detection in men with a raised prostate-specific antigen level who have not undergone biopsy. However, comparative evidence is limited. METHODS: In a multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial, we assigned men
Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has the potential to save many lives. Used indiscriminately though, it may be harmful and not in the best interest of the patient. An advance directive to refrain from resuscitation in selected patients is probably not uncommon in Sweden, but guidelines ruling this are still generally lacking. This study was performed to evaluate the use and document
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the prevalence and correlates of physical violence and rape among female sex workers (FSWs) in Ethiopia.DESIGN: A cross-sectional study using respondent-driven sampling technique.SETTING: Eleven major towns in Ethiopia.PARTICIPANTS: 4900 FSWs.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The prevalence of experiences of physical beating and rape.RESULTS: Among FSWs, 17.5% reported physical
Negative symptoms in schizophrenia spectrum are associated with minimal treatment responses. The search for effective treatments is potentially hampered by heterogenous study-designs and sample characteristics depending on the intervention category. This PRISMA-compliant systematic review/synthesis aims to describe the literature on negative symptoms interventions for schizophrenia spectrum disord
Public execution sites have long remained overlooked within Swedish archaeological research. Only a limited number out of the estimated 500-600 sites have been systematically investigated archaeologically. The public execution sites are strongly associated with death and violence, sanctioned by both the Church and the state, positioning them within what can be conceptualised as dark heritage. This

The World Heritage Site Venice and its Lagoon faces major challenges to its conservation, mainly those of mass tourism and climate change. This thesis examines how Venice is represented and managed as a World Heritage Site in official reports by Unesco and Italy, with a particular focus on conservation, tourism and sustainability. The study is conducted through a qualitative content analysis of Un
BACKGROUND: Platelet transfusions are frequent in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), either as prophylaxis against bleeding complications or as treatment for bleeding. The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines for ICU patients generally recommend not using prophylactic platelet transfusions unless the platelet count falls below 10 × 10 9 cells/L in non-bleeding patients and make no re
Background: Guidance on managing acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is largely based on expert opinion and retrospective studies pooling different subtypes of AMI. In clinical practice, management strategy is often selected based on the patient’s severity of illness, whereas randomized controlled trials or even adjusted analyses comparing different strategies are rarely available. We aimed to perfor
This study aimed to obtain high-resolution 3D isotropic turbo spin-echo (TSE) wrist MRI acquisitions at 7T, with and without fat suppression, facilitated by compressed-sensing (CS) acceleration. In 16 healthy subjects, fat-suppressed (FS) and nonfat-suppressed (NFS) TSE wrist images were obtained. The protocol consisted of a SENSE-accelerated scan, with an isotropic voxel size of 0.45 mm and acqui
Background: Alcohol intake increases recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but its relationship with cardiovascular outcomes is less well characterized. We aimed to study the association between different levels of alcohol intake and cardiovascular outcomes in a global cohort of patients with AF. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the RE-LY AF registry, including 15,400 patients with

Background: The pathogenesis of COPD is complex and remains poorly understood. The European Respiratory Society Study on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (EUROSCOP) investigated long-term effects of budesonide; 18% of the COPD participants were atopic. So far effects of atopy on the long-term course of COPD have not been elucidated. Methods: Factors related to the presence of atopy (positive
