OBJECTIVE: Resistance to androgens has been suggested as a possible cause of male infertility. This hypothesis is based mainly on binding studies in genital skin fibroblasts but the molecular evidence is sparse. DESIGN: Molecular studies of the androgen receptor gene were performed in 10 azoo- or oligozoospermic men, precenting with clinical signs of low androgen activity - poor virilization and h

Background: Hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) is an aggressive operation for treatment of advanced bile duct and gallbladder cancer associated with high perioperative morbidity and mortality, and uncertain oncological benefit in terms of survival. Few reports on HPD from Western centers exist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy for HPD in European centers. Method: Member

Background: About two-thirds of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are women, mostly because of their longer life-span and the higher prevalence of AD among older persons. A more-pronounced association between AD pathology and dementia (faster brain atrophy) and more-rapid cognitive decline have been reported in women. The AD prognosis might be affected by, e.g., size of cerebral hemispheres,

Aims/hypotheses: Smoking and use of smokeless tobacco (snus) are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether smoking and snus use increase the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and elucidated potential interaction with HLA high-risk genotypes. Methods: Analyses were based on Swedish case–control data (collected 2010–2019) with incident cases of L

Purpose To evaluate dose plans for head and neck organs at risk (OARs) for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients using involved node radiotherapy (INRT) delivered as 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and intensity modulated proton therapy (PT), in comparison to the past mantle field (MF). Materials and methods Data from 37 patients with cervical lymph n

Introduction: The aim was to evaluate two biomarker scores trained to identify comorbidity burden in the prediction of specified chronic morbidities, and mortality in the general population. Methods: Cardiovascular biomarkers were measured in the cardiovascular cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study. A score of 19 biomarkers associated with Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was created (BSMDC).

Background: High gluten and low dietary fiber in pregnancy intake is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (CeD) in the child. Early life higher dietary quality is suggested to reduce the subsequent risk of CeD. Objectives: The aim was to investigate associations of pregnancy dietary quality and diversity with child risk of CeD. Methods: In The Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Coho

Background: There is no consensus or clinical guidelines for screening routines of autoimmune disease in individuals with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), since results are conflicting whether the risk for such conditions is increased or not among individuals with JIA. The aim of this study was to investigate if the frequency of comorbid autoimmune conditions is increased after JIA diagnosis i

Solen och alla stjärnor som vi ser på natthimlen tillhör vår Galax - Vintergatan. Vintergatan är en spiralgalax med en utbuktning i dess centrum - bulben. För att förstå hur Vintergatan blev till måste man ha en bra uppfattning om bulbens ursprung. Under många år trodde vi att vi visste hur bulben och hela Galaxen hade formats, men ny teknologi, förbättrade teleskop och instrument samt simuleringaContext. The formation and evolution of the Galactic bulge and the Milky Way is still a debated subject. Observations of, e.g., the X-shaped bulge, cylindrical stellar motions and young stars in the bulge have suggested that the bulge formed through secular evolution of the disk and not through gas dissipation and/or mergers, as thought previously.\\ Data. We use high-resolution optical spectra of

The relationship between on the one hand personality traits and, on the other hand, neuropsychological test performance, self-rated distress symptoms, psychosocial work exposure, and social interaction patterns, was studied in a group of healthy women (N= 101). All subjects completed the Karolinska Scales of Personality inventory (KSP) and the majority of the subjects (n = 88) completed the State

Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) in the contemporary CABG population. We also aimed to correlate the effective regurgitant orifice area (ERO) of any regurgitant mitral valve in patients with coronary artery disease with the semiquantitative integrated scale of IMR. Design. From March 15 through June 15, 2006, 510 conse

Political institutions are keen to use the best available scientific knowledge in decision-making. For environmental policy, relevant scientific evidence can be complex and extensive, so expert judgment is frequently relied upon, without clear links to the evidence itself. We propose a new transparent process for incorporating research evidence into policy decisions, involving independent synopsis

Cancer är idag det näst vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen, där 30% av alla cancerfall bland kvinnor är bröstcancer. En vanlig behandling är bröstbevarande operation, där en bit av bröstet kirurgiskt tas bort. Operationer är både dyrt och har en betydande inverkan på kroppen och för vissa kvinnor krävs en omoperation efter den första operationen. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka möjli
