We studied the effects of the national Perinatal Patient Safety Program in Sweden, addressing local improvement measures, changes in the proportion of low Apgar Score and the number of settled injury claims due to asphyxia.

BACKGROUND: Lead time, the estimated time by which screening advances the date of diagnosis, is used to calculate the risk of overdiagnosis. We sought to describe empirically the distribution of lead times between an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and subsequent prostate cancer diagnosis. METHODS: We linked the Swedish cancer registry to two independent cohorts: 60-year-olds sampled in 1

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery on corrected QT (QTc) and QT dispersion (QTd) intervals. The possible role of inflammation on these variables was investigated.

Trees growing at their altitudinal or latitudinal distribution in Fennoscandia have been widelyused to reconstruct warm season temperatures, and the region hosts some of the world’slongest tree-ring chronologies. These multi-millennial long chronologies have mainly beenbuilt from tree remains found in lakes (subfossil wood from lake-shore trees). We used aunique dataset of Scots pine tree-ring dat

Objective: Compare perioperative course and long-term mortality after liver resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases between patients who had preoperative treatment with portal vein embolization (PVE) and chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. Methods: Among patients undergoing liver resection for CRC metastases following preoperative chemotherapy treatment, 17 patients who had received pre

Background: Resistant Enterobacteriaceae have become a worldwide epidemic during the last decade and are a great threat to health care worldwide. International travel is a major risk factor for becoming colonized with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria. Data on the persistence of colonization with ESBL-producing bacteria in the faecal flora are limited.Methods: A prospectiv

PURPOSE: A straight thoracic stent graft often complies poorly with the curvature of the aortic arch. We have previously reported an in vitro model of a modified stent graft that can be bent in situ after deployment to improve conformance to the aortic arch. We now report the first clinical experience with this technique in three consecutive patients. METHODS: Between September 2007 and August 200
