OBJECTIVE: To study cause specific mortality and cancer morbidity in workers exposed to the dust of grinding materials, grinding agents, and stainless steel, especially with regard to a possibly increased risk of respiratory, stomach, and colorectal cancer. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study, using reference cohorts of blue collar workers and population rates for comparison. The exposed cohort c

När är en bild barnpornografisk? Frågan kan utredas rättsdogmatiskt, men också empiriskt genom att domstolarnas prövningar av misstänkt barnpornografiska bilder undersöks. Det är inte självklart att de olika utredningsmetoderna ger samstämmiga svar; domare dömer inte nödvändigtvis på ett sätt som överensstämmer med gällande rätt. I den här undersökningen jämfördes innebörden av barnpornografi enliWhen does an image constitute child pornography? The issue can be investigated with a legal dogmatic method, but also with an empirically method and by examining the courts' trials regarding suspected child pornographic material. It is not obvious that the different methods of investigation provide consistent answers; judges do not necessarily decide in a manner consistent with applicable law.
The criteria for Brief Resolved Unexplained Events (BRUE) are used to stratify the risk in infants presenting with apneic episodes. However, these criteria often classify a high proportion of infants as higher risk. This study aimed to investigate the etiology of apneic episodes, particularly those compatible with BRUE, and to assess whether age ≤60 days is associated with serious underlying condi
We measured πΣ invariant mass spectra below and above the K̄N mass threshold in the K-d → NπΣ reaction in order to study the K̄N interaction and the Λ(1405) resonance. This reaction can be described by the two-step process: (i) K-N1 → K̄N followed by (ii) K̄N2 → πΣ, where N1 and N2 are nucleons bound in the deuteron. We deduced the S -wave scattering amplitude of K̄N → K̄N as well as K̄N → πΣ in I
Ansträngningsutlöst andningsfunktionsstörning drabbar främst barn och ungdomar, oftast i samband med idrottsutövning och är vanligare bland flickor än pojkar. Mekanismerna bakom besvären är komplexa och inte helt klarlagda. Enhetliga rutiner för omhändertagandet finns inte. Syftet med uppsatsen var att kartlägga och utvärdera omhändertagandet av personer med dessa besvär vid Röst- och TalvårdsavdeExercise-induced respiratory dysfunction affects mostly children and young people, usually during athletic performance, and is more common among girls than boys. The mechanisms of the disorder are complex and not fully understood. Uniform clinical procedures for examination and treatment of these patients are not established. The purpose of this paper was to identify and evaluate the present care
The interplay of text, meaning and practice: methodological considerations on discourse analysis in medical education The interplay of text, meaning and practice: methodological considerations on discourse analysis in medical education Dan K€arreman1,2 & Charlotta Levay3 CONTEXT The study of discourses (i.e. verbal interactions or written accounts) is increas- ingly used in social sciences to gain
The complement system, a part of the innate immune system with several links to the adaptive immune system, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. The purpose of this thesis was to document and clarify some of these mechanisms. The thesis is based on four papers (I-IV). (I and II) Autoantibodies to the C3 cleaving enzyme complex of the alternative pathway, C3 nephritic facto
In late fall and early winter > 2,000 Common Coots (Fulica atra) may gather on the small, shallow Lake Krankesjon in southern Sweden, where they dive for submerged plants. Casual observations indicated that intraspecific kleptoparasitism was common throughout these flocks. Kleptoparasitic attacks mostly occurred shortly after a Common Coot surfaced with food and before it had ingested much of it.
Background: End-stage kidney disease overwhelms health services in Central America. We determined prevalences of decreased kidney function in distinct populations in the most affected region of Nicaragua. Study Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting & Participants: Total populations aged 20-60 years of 5 villages in Northwest Nicaragua: mining/subsistence farming (elevation, 100-300 m above s
Background: Smoking is the major risk factor for cardiac events in younger women and is most common in groups with the least favourable socioeconomic circumstances. Objective: To assess to what extent geographical differences in the female incidence of myocardial infarction in the city of Malmo in Sweden can be accounted for by smoking and to what extent intra-urban variances of smoking are relate
Our aims were to characterize familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in a Swedish FH population and to further elucidate the clinical expression and treatment response in relation to genotype. Secondly, we wanted to identify gene variants, which may have impact on cholesterol levels in apparently healthy subjects. In the search for sequence alterations in the large LDL receptor gene we introduced and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut faryngotonsillit orsakas till ca 40 % av betahaemolytiska grupp A streptokocker (GAS) och till ca 10% av andra bakterier. Ca 30% av fallen är virusutlösta och i ca 20% är genesen okänd. GAS är mycket virulenta humanpatogener som förutom svalg- och hudinfektioner även kan förorsaka livshotande tillstånd som ?streptococcal toxic shock syndrome? och nekrotiserande fasIn acute pharyngotonsillitis group A streptococci (GAS) is the etiological agent in 30-50% of cases. Phenoxymethylpenicillin (pcV) is the drug of choice in Sweden. However, the failure rate is as high as 5-25% and further pcV treatment is followed by still higher failure rates. The background of failures remains largely elusive. The aim of the studies was: 1 To investigate the short- and long-term
When ferrochromium is produced at Vargon Alloys AB (Vargon, Sweden), an offgas dust is generated as a byproduct. A leachate that contains hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) is formed when rainwater percolates through the dust deposit. In this study, Cr6+ in the leachate was reduced to trivalent chromium (Cr3+) by biological treatment in a biofilm process operated under anaerobic conditions. The reactor vo
