OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between low vitamin D levels (<50 nmol/L) and 10-year mortality in women aged 75 and older.DESIGN: Prospective with 15 years of follow-up.SETTING: Malmö, Sweden.PARTICIPANTS: Population-based cohort of 75-year-old women (N = 1,044).MEASUREMENTS: Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels at age 75 (n = 1,011), 80 (n = 642), and 85 (n = 348) were categoriz

INTRODUCTION: Branched iliac stent-grafts (bSG) have recently been developed in order to preserve internal iliac artery (IIA) flow in patients with aneurysmal or short common iliac arteries. The aim of this study is to evaluate a single-center experience with bSG for the IIA. METHODS: Twenty-two male patients (70 (IQR 65-79) years old) underwent EVAR with 23 bSG (1 bilateral repair) between Septem

We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of using high-dose iodine-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((131)I-MIBG) followed by reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and transplantation of T cell-depleted haploidentical peripheral blood stem cells (designated haplo-SCT) to treat relapsing/refractory neuroblastoma (RRNB). Five RRNB patients were enrolled: 4 with relapse (3 after autologous SCT) and 1 with

Aim: Physical activity (PA) has been associated with enhanced cognition, brain development and concentration. This study evaluated whether increased physical education (PE) improved academic achievement. Methods: We recruited 304 children (55% boys) from a Swedish school in Skane County in 1998-2002 when they were six to seven years of age and followed them through all nine mandatory school years.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and histopathologic progression of a rat model of otitis media with effusion caused by eustachian tube obstruction (ETO) with and without Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. METHODS: In 164 rats, the left, bony eustachian tube was approached via a ventral incision and obstructed with dental material. Then 108 rats were infected via an intrabullar injection with

BackgroundUnconscious survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have a high risk of death or poor neurologic function. Therapeutic hypothermia is recommended by international guidelines, but the supporting evidence is limited, and the target temperature associated with the best outcome is unknown. Our objective was to compare two target temperatures, both intended to prevent fever. MethodsIn an

Pelvic fractures may occur together with hip fractures as a result of low energy trauma. It is unclear whether they do require special attention. There are conflicting results in the literature about the prevalence of both concomitant hip and pelvic fractures as well as exclusive pelvic fractures. It has been reported that hip fractures and obturator ring fractures are mutually exclusive. To retro

August Strindberg och det ockulta trindberg kom till Lund en grå decemberdag 1896 – jagad av osynliga makter, med fingrarna sönder- frätta av kemikalier och fattig som en lus: »Jag äger sju kronor, men icke en skjorta att byta, endast tunna som- marskor med hål i botten«. Några månader tidigare hade han suttit barrikaderad på Hotel Orfila i Paris, försjunken i alkemiska experi- ment och ansatt av

Spridningsmöjligheterna för fyra arter av hotade eller sårbara trädlevande skalbaggar i Lunds stad är bristfälliga. För att bibehållandet av livskraftiga populationer är det av stor vikt att individerna har möjlighet att sprida sig mellan de livsmiljöer som träden utgör. Därför ökar betydelsen av ett bevarandearbete som integreras med stadens samhälleliga planering så att befintliga träd som är väUrban trees are of great value as habitat and as elements for dispersal of many biological organisms. Hence, tree inventories are an important step for local municipalities in the effort to promote urban biodiversity of organisms dependent of trees for dispersal and survival. Lund is one of the municipalities which have carried out a comprehensive tree inventory. The purpose of this study is, on b

Botanical museum (LD) Our collections date back to the end of the 16th century, but most have been collected over the past 200 years. The largest collections are vascular plants, but extensive collections also include algae, lichens, bryophytes and fungi. The total number of specimens has been calculated at approximately 2.5 million copies. The herbarium houses plants from all over the world, but

Kandidatgener för fetma, insulinresistens och typ 2-diabetes Förekomsten av fetma ökar lavinartat över hela världen, Sverige inte undantaget, och detta är en stor bidragande orsak till att antalet fall av typ 2 diabetes tilltar på ett liknande sätt. Både fetma och typ 2 diabetes är sjukdomar med ett komplicerat mönster av samverkande genetiska och miljömässiga faktorer. Drabbade individer har en k

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med ett stokastiskt fält (random field) kan man matematiskt modellera en yta vars struktur och variationer i större eller mindre utsträckning kan beskrivas som slumpmässiga. Ett typexempel är havsytan. Det finns vissa ''regler'' för hur den kan se ut, men det exakta utseendet hos en viss våg uppfattas som slumpmässigt. Reglerna omfattar bland annat medelnivån, huIn this thesis the focus is on crossing points in random fields and the probability distributions of various crossing variables in different applications. The crossing points are generalisations to random fields of points of level crossings by stochastic processes. Only crossing events that occur at distinct points in the parameter space are considered, for example stationary points (zero-crossing

Case records of 417 patients, from a well-defined area, who were hospitalized because of blunt renal trauma during the period 1950-1979 were analyzed. The incidence increased during the final decade, corresponding to a rising incidence of motor traffic accidents and sports injuries. Young patients, between 10 and 29 years of age, were responsible for the increase and half of all patients were in t

One hundred total ankle arthroplasties were performed in our department between 1974 and 1994, and of these, 21 have been reoperated on with arthrodesis due to septic or nonseptic failures after 6 months to 15 years (median 40 months). Immobilization using a Hoffman external fixator was the dominating method. The total ankles were of six different designs. Sixteen of the 21 patients suffered from
