The aim of this study was to evaluate the determinants of kidney function and the role of heritable factors in a sample of 249 siblings free from known cardiovascular disease and without antihypertensive drugs belonging to 110 families. Four different measures and estimates of kidney function were considered. Blood pressure was recorded during 24 h by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Heritabi

BACKGROUND: Differences in the estrogen receptor (ER) status of tumors may explain ambiguities in epidemiologic studies between the blood concentrations of enterolactone and breast cancer. To our knowledge, the association between enterolactone and ERbeta-defined breast cancer has previously not been examined.METHODS: A nested case-control study within the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort used 366 cas

BackgroundRescue therapy with infliximab (IFX) has been proven effective in a steroid-refractory attack of ulcerative colitis (UC). The long-term efficacy is not well described. AimTo present a retrospective study of IFX as rescue therapy in UC. Primary end points were colectomy-free survival at 3 and 12months. MethodsIn this multicentre study, 211 adult patients hospitalised between 1999 and 2010

Prior twin and adoption studies have demonstrated the importance of both genetic and shared environmental factors in the etiology of criminal behavior (CB).

Polycotylid and elasmosaurid plesiosaurs inhabited the Kristianstad Basin during Late Cretaceous (uppermost lower Campanian Belemnellocamax mammillatuszone) around 80 million years ago. The setting represents one of the most famous Mesozoic fossil sites in Scandinavia. The Kristianstad Basin fossils are generally fragmentary and isolated due to high-energy environments in a protected shallow innerPolycotylid and elasmosaurid plesiosaurs inhabited the Kristianstad Basin during Late Cretaceous (uppermost lower Campanian Belemnellocamax mammillatuszone) around 80 million years ago.
