Prevalence of germline pathogenic variants in 22 cancer susceptibility genes in Swedish pediatric cancer patients

Up to 10% of pediatric cancer patients harbor pathogenic germline variants in one or more cancer susceptibility genes. A recent study from the US reported pathogenic variants in 22 out of 60 analyzed autosomal dominant cancer susceptibility genes, implicating 8.5% of pediatric cancer patients.

Information, switching costs, and consumer choice: Evidence from two randomised field experiments in Swedish primary health care

Consumer choice policies may improve the matching of consumers and providers, and may spur competition over quality dimensions relevant to consumers.

We use two large-scale randomised field experiments in primary health care to examine if individuals reconsider their provid

Combined lifestyle factors and the risk of LADA and type 2 diabetes – Results from a Swedish population-based case-control study

Methods: The population-based study included incident LADA (n = 571), type 2 diabetes (n = 1962), and matched control

The effect of nitrogen fertilization on tree growth, soil organic carbon and nitrogen leaching—a modeling study in a steep nitrogen deposition gradient in Sweden

Nitrogen (N) fertilization in forests has the potential to increase tree growth and carbon (C) sequestration, but it also means a risk of N leaching. Dynamic models can, if the important processes are well described, play an important role in assessing benefits and risks of nitrogen fertili-zation. The aim of this study was to test if the ForSAFE model is able to simulate correctly the effects of
