Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCLs) are rare lymphomas with mostly poor outcome with current treatment. Addition of etoposide to CHOP and up-front consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation (autoSCT) have shown promising results, but have never been tested in randomized trials. As a complement to retrospective analyses of clinical trials, we aimed at analyzing prognostic factors and o

A total of 239 isotope samples are used for establishing the delta C-13 chemostratigraphy in the upper Middle Ordovician to Lower Silurian succession in the approximately 70 m long Borenshult drillcore. The study interval starts in the upper Darriwilian Furudal Limestone and ends in the Rhuddanian Motala Formation. Four named delta C-13 excursions are recognized in 3-4 formations, namely the Gutte

1. Freshwater communities are often structured by predation. In permanent lentic freshwater habitats dragonfly larvae are major predators which, in return, suffer predation by fish. Antipredator traits vary between the dragonfly species, and the dragonfly communities are therefore shaped by the presence of fish. But fish communities vary, and as different fish species affect dragonflies in differe

CONTEXT: The prevalence of obesity among adolescents has increased and we lack effective treatments. OBJECTIVE: To determine if gastric bypass is safe and effective for an unselected cohort of adolescents with morbid obesity in specialized health care. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS: Intervention study for 81 adolescents (13-18 years) with a body mass index (BMI) range 36-69 kg m(-2) undergoing lapa

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common indication for lumbar spine surgery. The proportion of patients having a second surgery within 2 years varies in the literature between 0.5% and 24%, with recurrent herniation being the most common cause. Several studies have not found any relevant outcome differences between patients undergoing surgery for primary LDH and patients undergoing reoperation fo

Aims: Tobacco-smoking behaviours of young people between the age of 18 and 25 years are less understood than those of middle-aged people. The aim of this study is to contribute to improved knowledge of some of the factors that are associated with smoking and cessation among young people. Methods: We use the most recently available public health survey data from the southern region of Skåne in Swed
