BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether estrogen receptor (ER)-status of first primary breast cancer is associated with risk of metachronous (non-simultaneous) contralateral breast cancer (CBC), and to what extent endocrine therapy affects this association.METHODS: We studied the effect of ER-status of the first cancer on the risk of CBC overall, and for different ER-subtypes of CBC, using a large, popu

BACKGROUND: Workplace stressors, such as bullying, are strongly related to subsequent long-term sickness absence, but little is known of the possible physiological mechanisms linking workplace stressors and sickness absence. The primary aim of this study was to investigate to what extent cortisol levels were associated with subsequent sickness absence and if cortisol mediated the association betwe

Objectives To investigate the impact of a multifactorial treatment programme in a real-life setting on clinical outcomes and estimated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Design A retrospective observational cohort study, using data from the electronic medical records and national registers. Setting Tertiary diabetes centre in Denmark. Participants Patients with type 2 diabetes (n=4299) referred to

Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a form of acute myocarditis characterized by severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction requiring inotropes and/or mechanical circulatory support. A single-center study found that a patient with FM had better outcomes than those with acute nonfulminant myocarditis (NFM) presenting with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, but otherwise hemodynamically

Extracellular field potentials in the lumbosacral dorsal horn evoked by stimulation of cutaneous C fibres in the sural nerve were explored in the halothane‐anaesthetized rat. C‐fibre‐evoked field potentials were prominent in lamina II and lamina V of the dorsal horn. These potentials had a latency of 80‐130 ms and a duration of more than 200 ms. A peak in the C‐fibre‐evoked field potential, termed

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the intra- and inter-rater agreement for myometrial lesions using Morphologic Uterus Sonographic Assessment terminology. METHODS: Thirteen raters with high (n = 6) or medium experience (n = 7) assessed 30 3-dimensional ultrasound clips with (n = 20) and without (n = 10) benign myometrial lesions. Myometrial lesions were reported as poorly or well defined and then systematic

This study develops a framework for spatiotemporal modeling of dust storm source susceptibility in a critical case study, the Tigris-Euphrates River Basin, as a significant source of dust storms in the Middle East. The study period was divided into four periods, 2000–2004 (hydrological dry year), 2005–2007 (hydrological wet year), 2008–2012 (hydrological dry year), and 2013–2021 (hydrological wet

Aims: Use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in older patients has increased, and assessing outcomes in older LVAD recipients is important. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate associations between age and outcomes after continuous-flow LVAD (cf-LVAD) implantation. Methods and results: Cf-LVAD patients from the multicentre European PCHF-VAD registry were included and categorized into

BACKGROUND: The use of viscoelastic tests is becoming increasingly popular. There is a paucity of validation of the reproducibility of varying coagulation states. Therefore, we aimed to study the coefficient of variation (CV) for the ROTEM EXTEM parameters clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha-angle and maximum clot firmness (MCF) in blood with varying degrees of coagulation strengt

BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease is considered to be a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis with associated adverse cardiovascular and limb events. Data from previous trials have suggested that patients receiving clopidogrel monotherapy had a lower risk of cardiovascular events than those receiving aspirin. We wanted to compare clopidogrel with ticagrelor, a potent antiplatelet agent, in

The purpose of this research is to achieve a deeper insight of the emulsifying, suspending, and gelling properties of the meat proteins and see the possibility to use them to produce reduced-salt emulsion-type sausages. Sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were extracted from pork (longissimus dorsi, LD). Firstly, their aggregation behaviors in different salt concentrations – namely, 0.15 M, 0.4

Popular science summary: Beavers are back in Denmark The beaver Castor fiber is an animal which used to be common in most places all over Europe. The beaver has also been an important resource for humans, where especially the meat, the thick fur and the castoreum, a secretion that was used by humans in perfume, medicines and food, was wanted. Therefore, hunting by humans has been the main reason

Popular science summary: One of the greatest challenges in studying animal behavior is to understand it from the animal’s perspective. We will never know exactly how they look at or think about the world, but we can infer a lot from giving them signals and seeing their responses. In evolutionary biology, we are trying to find out what forces drove change in a specific direction. The “force” or s

Uppsatsen har som syfte att redogöra för alkoholpolitiken som bedrivs och som har bedrivits i Sverige och dess förhållande till EU-rätten, samt att redogöra för den alkohol- och hälsopolitik EU bedriver. Utöver diskuteras den fria rörligheten och alkoholimport. Sverige har sedan länge haft lagar som syftar till att begränsa de problem som är förknippade med alkohol. De allra tidigaste lagarna fråThe main purpose of this essay is to discuss Swedish politics on the alcohol field, and its problems when it comes to the treaties of the EU. In addition, I also want to write about the alcohol and health policy of the EU. Sweden has since many hundred years had problems associated with alcohol. The earliest laws came during the 1500s and provided penalty for drunkenness. Gradually our law maker b

Riksdagen har under hösten 2020 antagit de lagförslag som utarbetats i prop. 2019/20:190 Ekonomiskt arbetsgivarbegrepp – förändrade skatteregler vid tillfälligt arbete i Sverige. Den mest omtalade ändringen avser den s.k. 183-dagarsregeln i SINK och övergången från ett formellt till ett ekonomiskt arbetsgivarbegrepp. I propositionen presenterades det även lagförslag som numera innebär kraftigt ökaThe Swedish parliament adopted during the late autumn of 2020 the law proposals that were suggested by the Swedish government in prop. 2019/20:190 Ekonomiskt arbetsgivarbegrepp – förändrade skatteregler vid tillfälligt arbete i Sverige. The most debated topic has been the changes in the so called 183-day rule in SINK and the transition from a formal to an economic employer approach. In the same bi

How the IGHV upstream sequences look like? The antibody, also called immunoglobulin (lG), can identify and bind specifically to antigens such as bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing organisms. Its high variety is achieved by the selection and recombination of genes from normal full-length genomic genes. The antibody contains two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. What

I slutet av 2014 hade 38 miljoner människor runt om i världen flytt sina hem till följd av krig, konflikt och våld. Att rädda liv och minska lidandet för dessa flyktingar är syftet med humanitärlogistik. Beredskap en nyckelroll i humanitära organisationer eftersom det är ett verktyg för att minska det negativa genomslaget av framtida händelser. En vanlig beredskapsåtgärd är att så kallad för-positAt the end of 2014, 38 million people around the world had fled their homes due to man-made disasters such as war, armed conflict and violence. To save the lives and alleviate the suffering of these refugees and displaced is the purpose of Humanitarian Logistics. Preparedness is of key importance in humanitarian organisations as it is a tool to reduce the impact of coming events. One common prepar

Konstgjord grundvattenbildning är en viktig teknik i vattenhushållningssammanhang och är idag en av de vanligaste och mest utbredda metoderna i världen för att öka vår grundvattenkapacitet. I många länder har den här tekniken använts under lång tid medan den i andra är i framåtskridande. Tekniken har använts i Europa sedan början av 1900-talet och är fortfarande en vanlig metod för grundvattenförsArtificial groundwater recharge is an important technology in water resources management and is nowadays one of the most common and rapidly spread world wide methods for increasing groundwater capacity. In many countries this technique has been employed for a long time, however in the others it is in progress. It has been used in Europe since the early 1900s, and is still a popular method municipa
