Hästsporten handlar om stora pengar och nu är beskrivningen av detta på väg in i hästbokgenren. I den här artikeln diskuteras några nyutkomna hästböcker och hur de förhåller sig till sportens speciella villkor.

Background: Benchmarking on an international level might lead to improved outcomes at a national level. The aim of this study was to compare treatment and surgical outcome data from the Swedish National Register for Oesophageal and Gastric Cancer (NREV) and the Dutch Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Audit (DUCA).Methods: All patients with primary oesophageal or gastric cancer who underwent a resectio

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate differences in clinical appearance and survival rates in patients operated on for adenocarcinoma in the distal esophagus with and without Barrett epithelium.DESIGN: Prospective clinical study.SETTING: University hospital, Sweden.PATIENTS: Fifty-four patients with adenocarcinoma in the distal esophagus with (n = 17) or without (n = 37) Barrett epithelium.INTERVENTION: Esophag

BACKGROUND: The act of swallowing after gastric pull-up esophagectomy has not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate deglutition in the esophageal remnant and in the gastric conduit in patients who have undergone this operation.METHODS: The residual radionuclide activity was measured 15 seconds after a swallow in the esophageal remnant and at intervals up to a maximum

BACKGROUND: Neurological disorders are increasingly recognised as major causes of death and disability worldwide. The aim of this analysis from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 is to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date estimates of the global, regional, and national burden from neurological disorders.METHODS: We estimated prevalence, incidence, d

The objective is to estimate the number of deaths attributable to cardiovascular diseases and diet-related cancers that could be prevented or delayed in Sweden if adults adhere to the official dietary recommendations. We used an age-group and sex-specific epidemiological macro-simulation model to estimate preventable deaths due to the discrepancies between actual intake and recommended intake of c

INTRODUCTION:Physical activity (PA) leads to improved survival in women following the diagnosis of breast cancer, but it is less clear whether PA has equally positive effects regardless of age at diagnosis. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the association between post-diagnosis PA and survival in women aged below or over 55 years at diagnosis.METHODS:From a prospective population-based coh

The initiative at the Burj El Barajneh camp is run by a network of local associations, and aims at improving living conditions, services, infrastructure and livelihoods for the inhabitants. Burj el Barajneh has a large number of active associations and many highly educated professionals. However, in this kind of complex hyperdense context any kind of change needs to be carefully considered, there

The challenges faced in medical image processing makes image processing domain one of the active research areas nowadays. Brain tumors are aberrant growth formed by cells reproducing in an abnormal manner. Detecting the location of brain lesion (tumor) is essential as it helps in the diagnosis and cure of tumor. This paper proposes a novel clustering approach for the brain lesions in BRATS trainin

Rapid urbanization and the growth in the number of motorized vehicles has dramatically marginalized cycling in Chinese cities since the end of the 1990s. The deterioration in air quality and the urban environment is severely challenging urban livability and public health. The cities are seeking effective policies to alleviate these problems, and revitalizing bicycle transport has received increasi

A deep understanding of the Milky Way galaxy, its formation and evolution requires observations of huge numbers of stars. Stellar photometry, therefore, provides an economical method to obtain intrinsic stellar parameters. With the addition of distance information - a prospect made real for more than a billion stars with the second Gaia data release - deriving reliable ages from photometry is a po

Current techniques for visualising geospatial Linked Data are limited in terms of multiple representation, which has been studied for decades by cartographers and considered as a prerequisite for deriving appropriate geovisualisation applications. In order to alleviate this issue, this paper presents a work in progress, in which the multiple representation geospatial data are released as Linked Da

This study concerns the management functions, institutional and legal frameworks to foster IRBM in the Yangtze River Basin. It is implemented as part of the EU China River Basin Management Programme funded by the EU.The overall objective of the study is to contribute to an enabling framework of policies, legislation and institutions that will promote IRBM in China and assist the government to harm
