In stochastic modeling of infectious diseases, it has been established that variations in infectivity affect the probability of a major outbreak, but not the shape of the curves during a major outbreak, which is predicted by deterministic models (Diekmann et al., 2012). However, such conclusions are derived under idealized assumptions such as the population size tending to infinity, and the indivi
Objectives The primary aim of the present study was to investigate the putative excess mortality by suicide in suicide attempters. As a secondary aim, we investigate excess mortality in specific, clinically relevant subgroups: individuals with repeated suicide attempts (RA); individuals who used violent method at the attempt (VA); and those who scored high on the Suicide Intent Scale (HS) at the t
The term ‘strategic use of procurement’ indicates that the procurement (also referred to as sustainable procurement) is about more than just saving money. Other important interests such as social and environmental considerations can be promoted through public procurement. Procurers can, according to newly proposed Directives on public procurement, make better use of public procurement in support o
Imaging is an integral part of breast cancer diagnosis, staging and follow-up. Breast imaging is also important for radiation therapy planning. The radiation oncologist needs to review patient’s imaging (e.g. mammography) to evaluate the extent of disease (for radiation planning, not for diagnostic purposes) and for treatment planning. Pre-treatment imaging is the key for planning radiation target
As part of aiming towards a non-smoking hospital environment, staff at a Copenhagen university hospital were offered participation in a differentiated smoking cessation programme. This consisted of lectures, group therapy, follow-up visits and individually tailored nicotine replacement therapy free-of-charge for six weeks. Three hundred and seventy-four employees started the programme, with 353 co
BackgroundA seven-year follow-up of heroin dependent patients treated in a buprenorphine-maintenance program combining contracted work/education and low tolerance for non-prescribed drug use. Gender-specific differences in outcome were analysed. MethodsA consecutively admitted cohort of 135 men and 35 women, with eight years of heroin abuse/dependence on average was admitted to enhanced buprenorph
Objective: Developmental programming alters growth and metabolic outcome in children born small for gestational age (SGA). We explored insulin and glucose metabolism in SGA children treated with a fixed GH dose over 1 year. Methods: In the North European Small for Gestational Age Study (NESGAS), 110 short SGA children received GH at 67 mu g/kg/day for 1 year. Insulin secretion was assessed by acut
District heating is well expanded in the residential areas in Sweden, although not in detached house areas. Increased environmental concerns as well as steadily increasing electricity and oil prices make the detached houses sector a potential market for the district heating companies. District heating in low heat density areas is economically challenging for mainly two reasons: Firstly, constructi
Three issues characterise the background to the MECCA study: A) Throughout Europe, most patients with severe forms of psychotic disorders are cared for in the community. The challenge now is to make processes in community mental health care more effective. B) There are widespread calls to implement regular outcome measurement in routine settings. This, however, is more likely to happen, if it prov
Syftet med arbetet har varit att, med hjälp av bayesiansk sannolikhetsteori som bevisvärderingsmetod, kritiskt analysera svenska människohandelsmål. Detta har gjorts för att utröna om det förekommer tecken på bristande bevisvärdering från domstolarna som bidrar till att rekvisit ej anses styrkta i dessa mål där någon blir friad, och i utsträckning bidragit till bevisproblematik kring brottet. SyftThe purpose of this paper has been to critically analyze Swedish court cases of human trafficking where the accused has been acquitted of such a criminal act. The critical analysis has been executed with the aid of Bayesian probability theory as an evidence evaluation method. This has been done to determine whether there are signs of flawed evidence evaluation from the court itself which has contr
Nuvarande Jägersro trav- och galoppbana i sydöstra Malmö ska bytas ut mot bostäder. Skånska Travsällskapet planerar bygga nya Jägersro Hästcenter på sin privata mark precis bredvid. De önskar att hästcentret blir Europas ledande med fokus på hållbarhet. I juli 2024 planeras den första byggnaden invigas, den avsedd för publik, som antas tecknas till ett effektabonnemang. Det förutspås att lokal e
Klimatförändringarna med stigande havsnivåer gör att förutsättningarna för vårt byggande måste förändras i kustnära områden. Länsstyrelsen i Skåne har fattat ett beslut om att mark under +3 meter över havet döms ut för bebyggelse. Kommunerna vid kusten får då mycket svårt att expandera, och vill därför kunna hitta eventuella lösningar för att kunna bygga i utsatta lägen. En möjlig lösning är att aWith the climate change sea levels are rising which changes the boundary conditions for sites along the coast. The County Administrative Board of Skåne has decided that new buildings should be built at least 3 meters above sea level. Because of this decision the coastal municipalities have problems with expanding further, and are really keen on finding alternative solutions in order to allow build
Background: Economic evaluation of new treatments in the field of glaucoma represents a challenge. In the absence of a clear epidemiological link between intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and disease progression to blindness, the economic impact of treatments that lower IOP on long-term outcome cannot be estimated. As an alternative, effectiveness may be expressed as the ability to control IOP over time
Amyloid beta peptides (Aβ) proteins play a key role in vascular pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) including impairment of the blood–brain barrier and aberrant angiogenesis. Although previous work has demonstrated a pro-angiogenic role of Aβ, the exact mechanisms by which amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and endothelial angiogenic signalling cascades interact in AD remain a largely un
Measles virus genotype B3 was isolated from patients during a measles outbreak in Copenhagen starting January 2006. Here we describe three cases: two children aged 9 and 22 months, respectively, and a 29-year-old man. All three patients were hospitalised. Several doctors examined both the children before the diagnosis of measles was established. The patients were not vaccinated against measles. Th
