Familial risks for nerve, nerve root and plexus disorders in siblings based on hospitalisations in Sweden

Familial risks for main neurological diseases in siblings based on hospitalizations in Sweden

Recent successes in identifying the underlying genetic mechanisms for neurological diseases, particularly for their Mendelian forms, have had profound implications for their diagnostics, treatment and classification. However, there has never been an attempt to compare familial risks in a systematic way among and between the main neurological diseases. Familial risks were here defined for siblings

Familial risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke : a large-scale study of the Swedish population

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous studies of familial risks have often combined ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke even though it seems unlikely that these 2 very different pathological conditions are under the same genetic influence. This study is the first to investigate the concordant (same subtype) and disconcordant (different subtype) association between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.METHODS: D

Alcohol abuse partly mediates the association between coronary heart disease and affective or psychotic disorders : a follow-up study in Sweden

Familial risks of aortic aneurysms among siblings in a nationwide Swedish study

Familial risks for migraine and other headaches among siblings based on hospitalizations in Sweden

Migraine and other headaches are common disabling conditions, reducing the quality of life in the affected individuals. The unambiguous definition of familial risk for subtypes of migraine and other headaches will advance the search for the heritable causes of these conditions and their underlying mechanisms. We aim at defining familial risks for siblings to be hospitalized because of migraine or

Cancer risks in twins : results from the Swedish family-cancer database

Twin studies on cancer have addressed two general questions, one about the possible carcinogenic effects of twinning and the second about heritable effects of cancer. The first question is answered by comparing the occurrence of cancer in twins to that in singletons; the second is answered in probandwise analysis of monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic twins or siblings. We used the nationwide

Parental cancer as a risk factor for bone cancer : a nation-wide study from Sweden

Time trends in the incidence of cervical and other genital squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas in Sweden, 1958-1996

Age-incidence relationships and time trends in cervical cancer in Sweden

Age-incidence relationships are informative of carcinogenic mechanisms. These have been previously assessed for cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) but not for adenocarcinoma. The aim was to assess by means of age-, period- and cohort-specific analyses and Poisson regression modelling whether the two types of cervical cancer show an age-incidence maximum at a relatively young age, as shown in c
