OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic value for patient survival of different forms of PSA and ratios thereof, before treatment for prostate cancer, by considering the forms and ratios both as independent markers and by comparing them with other commonly used prognostic markers, e.g. tumour grade, local stage (T-stage) and absence or presence of skeletal metastases (M-stage). PATIENTS AND METHODS: B
Child labour is born out of poverty, and it leads to more poverty. Those that work from a young age often have no possibility of going to school, and can only perform manual work as adults, which often pays little. Many children face considerable risks in their place of employment. Some of them suffer from short-term health problems, but others develop cancers and other serious diseases as a resul
Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke (även kallat slaganfall) är den tredje vanligaste dödsorsaken efter hjärtsjukdom och cancer i stora delar av världen. Strokesjukdomen består av blodpropp (hjärninfarkt), blödning i hjärnan (intracerebral blödning) eller blödning i dess hinnor (subaraknoidal blödning). Stroke definieras enligt WHO som snabbt påkomna neurologiska symptom (t.ex. förlamning, talsvåriBackground: Stroke is a major cause of death and disability. Investigations of the epidemiological trends for stroke might result in better understanding of stroke pathogenesis and prevention. Methods: The trends of first-ever stroke incidence and survival over 3 time periods (1983-85, 1993-95 and 2001/2002) in Lund-Orup health care district were studied. The first 2 study periods were retrospect
Background: Previous research shows that many cancer-bereaved youths report unresolved grief several years after the death of a parent. Grief work hypothesis suggests that, in order to heal, the bereaved needs to process the pain of grief in some way. This study explored acute grief experiences and reactions in the first 6 months post-loss among cancer-bereaved teenagers. We further explored long-
BACKGROUND: Opioid-related deaths have increased in Western countries over recent decades. Despite numerous studies investigating opioid-related mortality, only a few have focused on the lives of the deceased individuals prior to their deaths, specifically regarding contact with care-providing authorities such as health, social and correctional services. Furthermore, a change has been noted in the
BackgroundConvalescent plasma has been widely used to treat COVID-19 and is under investigation in numerous randomized clinical trials, but results are publicly available only for a small number of trials. The objective of this study was to assess the benefits of convalescent plasma treatment compared to placebo or no treatment and all-cause mortality in patients with COVID-19, using data from all
BackgroundSince the mid 80’ies, the western palliative care philosophy has influenced the development of palliative care in mainland China. However, it has caused several challenges.ObjectiveTo explore the understanding of the ‘good death’ among authorities, professionals, patients, and their relatives in end-of-life care settings in mainland China.DesignScoping review.

This article presents an architecture of a Digital Front-End Receiver (DFE-Rx) for the next-generation mobile terminals. A main focus is placed in flexibility, scalability and concurrency. The architecture is capable of detecting, synchronizing and reporting carrier-frequency offset, of multiple concurrent radio standards. The proposed receiver is fabricated in a 65nm CMOS low power high-VT cell t
A 70-year-old man presented with symmetrical arthritis and arthralgias, Raynaud's phenomenon, pleurisy, fever, maculopapular erythema, leuko- and thrombocytopenia, anemia, antinuclear antibodies and hypocomplementemia. His bone marrow morphology was normal. During therapy with corticosteroids he developed pulmonary tuberculosis which responded well to tuberculostatic treatment. Approximately one y
Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att undersöka gränsdragningen mellan det tillåtna och icke tillåtna inom vården i förhållande till den svenska regleringen av dödshjälp. Uppsatsen har förutom att försöka se vad det rådande rättsläget säger om frågan ägnat att belysa vilka rättspolitiska överväganden som ligger till grund för den svenska regleringen. Frågan om dödshjälpens vara eller icke vara väckThe overall aim of the essay is to investigate the boundary between the permissible and non-permissible in healthcare in relation to the Swedish regulation of euthanasia. The essay also devotes to illuminate the political considerations underlying the Swedish regulation. The question about whether euthanasia should be permitted or not arouses strong feelings and opinions and there are a lot of arg
5-(2'-oxoheptadecyl)-resorcinol (1) and 5-(2'-oxononadecyl)-resorcinol (2) were isolated from fermentations of an imperfect basidiomycete. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic techniques. Both compounds exhibit cytotoxic effects against the human colon tumor cell lines COLO-320, DLD-1 and HT-29 and the human promyeloid leukemia cell line HL-60, the human leukemia T cell

In today's society increasingly complex structures are designed whilst at the same time the design of a single structure ought to occur in a shorter period of time. This fact has undoubtedly contributed to that computational strength calculation that often is based on the nite element method instead of the classical hand calculation methods, is applied more frequently. Therefore an important a
Sixteen patients were treated for gastrocolic fistula arising as a complication of peptic ulcer (11 cases), colonic perforation (2), gastric cancer (1), colonic cancer (1) or pancreatitis (1). The predominant symptoms were diarrhoea, weight loss and abdominal pain. Barium meal and barium enema were the most reliable means of diagnosis, and no fistula was gastroscopically demonstrable.
