Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is linked to alcohol drinking, whereas esophageal adenocarcinoma risk is increased by overweight and obesity. Both histologies are directly related to tobacco smoking. We wanted to define the risk of esophageal cancer by histology and length of stay among immigrants in Sweden. The nationwide Swedish Family Cancer database (2010 version: data on cancers originate
Purpose To assess the natural history of intrameniscal signal intensity on magnetic resonance (MR) images of the medial compartment. Materials and Methods Both knees of 269 participants (55% women, aged 45-55 years) in the Osteoarthritis Initiative without radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) and without medial meniscal tear at baseline were studied. One radiologist assessed 3-T MR images from ba
A Cochrane metaanalysis and a study performed on children have recently confirmed that therapeutic hypothermia does not improve outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is not comparable to a short episode of global ischemia, where therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome. The difference may be explained by the fact that hypothermia-induced stress after a traumatic b
The main objective of this work is the application of variational concepts to microscopic multiple particle systems (MPS) which are assigned to corresponding points of a macroscopic continuum. Due to this underlying micro-structure it is not sufficient to simulate the macroscopic behavior with pre-assumed (overall) material parameters, or rather constitutive-law-based standard methods. Therefore,

This explorative study investigates the emergence of gray zone markets from search engines amidst the global expansion of online markets. With the analytical approach of infrastructural inversion, we examine how the search infrastructure constructs access to a gray zone market including both authorized online pharmacies and unauthorized vendors. Using Sweden and Google Search as a case, we explore
Adipic acid is an industrially important dicarboxylic acid and an essential precursor in the synthesis of Nylon-6,6. Due to the environmental impact associated with the current synthetic methods for Nylon-6,6 production, greener alternatives based on renewable and bio-based feedstocks are needed. In the present study, the potential of two Pseudomonas putida strains engineered for muconic acid
Objectives: Various outcomes of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) therapy have been observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is not clear whether the duration of treatment, type of ChEI, or dose affect mortality. We aimed to investigate the association between ChEI therapy and patient survival. Methods: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study (SATS) is a prospective, observational, multicentre study t
Recently there has been an upsurge of writings within geography on life itself and the various configurations and procedures that produce and sustain life. There is, of course, an older literature within geography that has emphasized the relation between life and space. I am thinking primarily of the anthropogeography/biogeography of Friedrich Ratzel and his concept Lebensraum and its corollary no
Objectives: Long-term, placebo-controlled studies of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are not permitted for ethical reasons. Therefore, the advancement of knowledge on longitudinal outcomes in different domains warrants well-designed naturalistic studies. The aim of this study was to explore the 3-year effectiveness of rivastigmine treatment. Methods: The Swedish Alzhe
