Objective: To evaluate the precipitating factors for heart failure decompensation in primary care and associations with short-term prognosis. Design Prospective cohort study with a 30-d follow-up from an index consultation. Regression models to determine independent factors associated with hospitalisation or death. Setting: Primary care in ten European countries. Patients Patients with diagnosis o

BACKGROUND: Treatment of newly diagnosed advanced-stage ovarian cancer typically involves cytoreductive surgery and systemic chemotherapy. We conducted a trial to investigate whether the addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to interval cytoreductive surgery would improve outcomes among patients who were receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for stage III epithelial ovarian ca

A true renaissance man with a wide field of research Arvid Henrik Florman's (1761-1840) contributions to the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University and to Swedish medicine in general are numerous and greatly significant. In fact, he is recognized as having integrated the practical disciplines of surgery and anatomy into medicine. He is also regarded as Sweden's first anthropologist and an importan

A healthy brain is associated with a longer life, while ageing is the greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. But what distinguishes healthy ageing from disease-related ageing? It is a complex question that researchers are working to answer. "We know a great deal about how age affects brain function, but we know virtually nothing about the underlyin

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Denna studie omfattar undersökningar av skogsskador, vattenflöden och höjdmodeller i Krkonose Nationalpark i norra Tjeckien. Nationalparken är belägen i ett område kallat Europas Svarta Triangel. Detta namn kommer av de kraftiga svaveldioxidutsläppen från stora kolkraftverk i Tyskland, Polen och Tjeckien under de senaste decennierna. Utsläppen har resulterat i e

Sammanfattning Människans rätt till självbestämmande är en grundläggande rättighet som i de allra flesta sammanhang i livet tillskrivs stor betydelse. Även inom hälso- och sjukvården betonas respekten för människans integritet och autonomi. När det gäller livets slutskede och människans rätt att styra över hur och när hon vill avsluta sitt liv får självbestämmanderätten emellertid vika till förmåSummary The human right to self-determination is a fundamental right, which in most situations in life is considered to be of high importance. This approach also applies in the department of medical care, in which the respect for the individual integrity and autonomy is emphasized. Regarding the final stages of life, the right to self-determination and the right to control how and when a person w

Arsenic is an element and has a natural part in the earth with a content of 1,5-2,0 mg/kg in the earth crust. Arsenic occurs naturally in the bedrock and the Swedish bedrock contains anything from 1,0-40 mg/kg. Arsenic is more poisonous in its inorganic form than in its organic. The two most common types of inorganic arsenic are arsenite and arsenate. Arsenite (AsIII) is the most acute poisonous

Background No effective standard treatment exists for patients with radioiodine-refractory, advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of vandetanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of RET, VEGFR and EGFR signalling, in this setting. Methods In this randomised, double-blind, phase 2 trial, we enrolled adults (aged >= 18 years) with locally advanced or metastatic

BACKGROUND: The period immediately following psychiatric inpatient care is recognized as a time of elevated risk of suicide, yet little is known about factors that influence how soon suicide occurs after discharge.AIM: To examine the timing of suicide among persons after psychiatric discharge and identify sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with a shorter time to death by suicide.METH

Objective: To report initial experience using endografts with exclusively retrograde inner branches for endovascular aortic arch repair. Methods: A retrospective review of endovascular aortic arch repairs using custom made endografts exclusively integrating retrograde inner branches (Cook Medical, Brisbane, Australia) was conducted across seven tertiary centres (June 2022 and December 2024). Prima

Background and Objectives – Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) deficiency is a potentially treatable neurodegenerative genetic disorder. It represents a common cause of mitochondrial disease. Most published reports are limited to single cases, and population-based data are lacking. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence, and life expectancy and to explore genot

With her 1953 debut Anna Rydstedt (1928-1994) immediately became part of a strong tradition of Swedish women poets, a tradition represented by authors such as Karin Boye and Edith Södergran. The debut was a furious attack on those who had thwarted her attempts to become a minister in the Church of Sweden. Rydstedt’s poetry is always existential, both in its content and process. Writing, for her, i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Transplantation av lungor är ett relativt nytt behandlingsalternativ vid svår lung-sjukdom. Den första lungtransplantationen på människa gjordes 1963. Patienten dog efter 18 dagar i njursvikt. Mellan 1963 och 1980 gjordes ca 40 lungtransplantationer i världen med nedslående resultat. Medianöverlevnaden var enbart 8,5 dagar och den patient som levde längst levde bara 6 mDuring the past 15 years lung transplantation has been established as a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. The results have improved over time and some transplantation centers now show 1-year survival rates above 80%. The number of donors has remained relatively constant during later years but the demand is increasing resulting in longer waiting times and an increasi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje år insjuknar mer än 8000 kvinnor i Sverige i bröstcancer, och 5 år efter diagnos är nära 90% fortfarande i livet. Trots att prognosen för majoriteten av patienterna är god, dör 1400 kvinnor årligen av bröstcancer. Till följd av detta pågår mycket forskningsarbete för att finna faktorer som bättre kan förutsäga prognos, prognostiska studier, men även för att finna

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med de fyra delarbeten som presenteras i denna avhandling var att studera dels utfall av fotsår samt identifiera faktorer relaterade till utfall och dels risken för att utveckla nya sår efter läkning av tidigare sår hos patienter med diabetes, fotsår och uttalad perifer kärlsjukdom. Patienter med diabetes och fotsår med ett systoliskt tåtryck <45 mmHg eller ett aThe aim of the studies presented in this thesis was to study patients with diabetes and severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in regard to outcomes of foot ulcers, factors related to outcomes, and occurrences of new ulcerations and amputations following healing of the initial ulcer. Patients with diabetes and a foot ulcer, consecutively presenting at a multidisciplinary foot centre, with a sys
