Background: Selected patients with advanced germ cell tumors have a poor prognosis. These include patients with brain, bone or liver metastases, very elevated tumor markers or primary mediastinal tumor. High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous stem cell support is recommended in the Swedish and Norwegian Testicular Cancer Group (SWENOTECA) guidelines in selected poor risk patients with poor r

Objective: The purpose of the study was to compare in prospective randomized fashion a manually sutured esophagogastric anastomosis in the neck and a stapled in the chest after esophageal resection and gastric tube reconstruction. Summary Background Data: Despite the fact that all reconstructions after esophagectomy will result in a cervical or a thoracic anastomosis, controversy still exists as t

OBJECTIVES: To explore broadened entry criteria of the 2021 European Resuscitation Council/European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ERC/ ESICM) algorithm for neuroprognostication including patients with ongoing sedation and Glasgow Coma Scale-Motor score (GCS-M) scores 4–5.

OBJECTIVE(S):: We explored incidence, predictors, and long-term prognosis of hospital admissions attributed to reflex syncope and orthostatic hypotension. METHODS:: We analyzed a cohort of 32?628 individuals (68.2% men; age, 45.6?±?7.4 years) without prevalent cardiovascular disease over a follow-up period of 26.6?±?7.5 years. RESULTS:: One thousand and fourteen persons (3.1%, 1.2 per 1000 person-

Background Few studies on long-term exposure to air pollution and mortality have been reported from Europe. Within the multicentre European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE), we aimed to investigate the association between natural-cause mortality and long-term exposure to several air pollutants. Methods We used data from 22 European cohort studies, which created a total study pop

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes after fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (f-EVAR) in a tertiary European referral center. METHODS: All patients treated with commercially available custom-made f-EVAR between September 2002 and June 2007 were prospectively enrolled in a computerized database including co-morbidities and aneurysm morphology. Patients were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Abdominellt aortaaneurysm, (AAA) är termen på en utvidgning av den storakroppspulsådern i dess förlopp i bukhålan.

INTRODUCTION: With the implementation of early reperfusion therapy, the number of complications in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has diminished significantly. However, ACS patients are still routinely admitted to units with high-level monitoring such as the coronary or intensive care unit (CCU/ICU). The cost of these admissions is high and there is often a shortage of beds. The aim o

Background: There is recent evidence supporting that a comprehensive post-stroke treatment program improves outcome. However, the prevalence of stroke-related health problems and the extent of needed interventions have not been well-delineated. The Struct-FU study aims to assess the feasibility of a comprehensive stroke follow-up model and to map stroke-related problems and subsequent multidiscipl

Background: Sweden has closed all institutions and imposed legislation to ensure service and support for individuals with intellectual disability (ID). Understanding mortality among older individuals with ID is essential to inform development of health promotion and disease control strategies. We investigated patterns and risk of mortality among older adults with ID in Sweden. Methods: This retros

Sopberg, en bestående klimatbov eller en källa till förnybar energi? Produktionen av metanrik gas, kallat deponigas, inuti deponier är den näst största källan till utsläpp av metan till atmosfären i Sverige. Metan är en kraftig växthusgas, 28 gånger starkare än CO2 och för att minska utsläppen från deponier är det idag lagkrav i Sverige på att samla upp gasen. Den uppsamlade gasen facklas ofta seWhen organic material is deposited at a landfill it is decomposed over time by microorganisms to form a gas mixture consisting of mainly methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen called landfill gas. To limit the environmental impact from this gas there is a requirement in Sweden today that all landfills which have accepted or are accepting organic material to be equipped with a gas collection system a

Varför sätter vi i Sverige de flesta solcellerna på tak? Att producera el från solceller på tak är något som blir allt vanligare i Sverige. Men hur kostnadseffektivt är det att placera solceller på tak? Ett tak har tyvärr inte alltid en optimal vinkel mot solen vilket minskar el-produktionen. I länder som Rumänien och Bulgarien produceras nästan all solel från anläggningar på marken, vilket myckThe electricity produced from photovoltaics represents only a small fraction of the total electricity consumption in Sweden, but the installed capacity in Sweden doubled for the fourth year in a row in 2014. If this trend continues it is both interesting and important to discuss where we want to see PV systems in our future society. Looking at the market share of different types of PV systems in o
