Patient education-level affects treatment allocation and prognosis in esophageal- and gastroesophageal junctional cancer in Sweden

Background Low socioeconomic status and poor education elevate the risk of developing esophageal- and junctional cancer. High education level also increases survival after curative surgery. The present study aimed to investigate associations, if any, between patient education-level and treatment allocation after diagnosis of esophageal- and junctional cancer and its subsequent impact on survival.

Comparison of hernia registries : the CORE project

Introduction: The aim of the international CORE project was to explore the databases of the existing hernia registries and compare them in content and outcome variables. Methods: The CORE project was initiated with representatives from all established hernia registries (Danish Hernia Database, Swedish Hernia Registry, Herniamed, EuraHS, Club Hernie, EVEREG, AHSQC) in March 2015 in Berlin. The foll

Predictors of multiglandular disease in primary hyperparathyroidism

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is caused by single- or multiglandular disease (MGD). Patients with MGD have an increased risk of complications at surgery and for persistence and recurrence after surgery. The study evaluated whether preoperative clinical and biochemical characteristics could predict MGD in patients with pHPT. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients operated 1

High risk of hypogonadism in young male cancer survivors

Objective: Cancer and its treatment in childhood and young adulthood can cause hypogonadism, leading to increased risk of long-term morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of presenting with biochemical signs of hypogonadism in testicular cancer survivors (TCS) and male childhood cancer survivors (CCS) in relation to the type of treatment given. Design: Case-control

Reduced Neuromuscular Performance in Amenorrheic Elite Endurance Athletes

INTRODUCTION: Secondary functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (SFHA) is common among female athletes, especially in weight-sensitive sports. The aim of this study was to investigate the link between SFHA and neuromuscular performance in elite endurance athletes. METHODS: Sixteen eumenorrheic (EUM) and 14 SFHA athletes from national teams and competitive clubs participated. Methods included gynecologi

Subjective health complaints and exposure to peer victimization among disabled and non-disabled adolescents : A population-based study in Sweden

AIMS: To investigate subjective health complaints (SHCs) (psychological and somatic, respectively) among disabled and non-disabled adolescents, focusing on the impact of traditional bullying and cyber harassment, and furthermore to report psychological and somatic SHCs across different types of disability.METHODS: Data from the public health survey of children and adolescents in Scania, Sweden, 20

Light meson gas in the QCD vacuum and oscillating universe

We have developed a phenomenological effective quantum-field theoretical model describing the "hadron gas" of the lightest pseudoscalar mesons, scalar σ-meson and σ-vacuum, i.e. the expectation value of the σ-field, at finite temperatures. The corresponding thermodynamic approach was formulated in terms of the generating functional derived from the effective Lagrangian providing the basic thermody

The European Vasculitis Society 2016 Meeting Report

The 2016 European Vasculitis Society (EUVAS) meeting, held in Leiden, the Netherlands, was centered around phenotypic subtyping in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV). There were parallel meetings of the EUVAS petals, which here report on disease assessment; database; and long-term follow-up, registries, genetics, histology, biomarker studies, and clinical trials

Simple Generation of a High Yield Culture of Induced Neurons from Human Adult Skin Fibroblasts

Induced neurons (iNs), the product of somatic cells directly converted to neurons, are a way to obtain patient-derived neurons from tissue thatis easily accessible. Through this route, mature neurons can be obtained in a matter of a few weeks. Here, we describe a straightforward andrapid one-step protocol to obtain iNs from dermal fibroblasts obtained through biopsy samples from adult human donors

The Misty Three Point Algorithm for Relative Pose

There is a significant interest in scene reconstructionfrom underwater images given its utility for oceanic researchand for recreational image manipulation. In this paperwe propose a novel algorithm for two view camera motionestimation for underwater imagery. Our method leveragesthe constraints provided by the attenuation propertiesof water and its effects on the appearance of the color todetermin

Astrocytic and neuronal oxidative metabolism are coupled to the rate of glutamate–glutamine cycle in the tree shrew visual cortex

Astrocytes play an important role in glutamatergic neurotransmission, namely by clearing synaptic glutamate and converting it into glutamine that is transferred back to neurons. The rate of this glutamate–glutamine cycle (VNT) has been proposed to couple to that of glucose utilization and of neuronal tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that glutamatergic neurotr

Ru-Catalyzed Completely Deoxygenative Coupling of 2-Arylethanols through Base-Induced Net Decarbonylation

Substituted arylethanols can be coupled by using a readily available Ru catalyst in a fully deoxygenative manner to produce hydrocarbon chains in one step. Control experiments indicate that the first deoxygenation occurs through an aldol condensation, whereas the second occurs through a base-induced net decarbonylation. This double deoxygenation enables further development in the use of alcohols a

Cutting and Breaking the Embodied Self

This paper analyzes the Cutting and Breaking (C&B) events affecting the tangible aspects of the personal domain, that is to say the body and its parts. The study of the embodied Self, as the affected theme of C&B events, provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the understanding of the conceptualization of the personal domain, as well as providing an additional distinction between cu
