Top quark phenomenology : An overview

In this talk three 2-sigma deviations from the Standard Model predictions in the top quark sector are briefly discussed. These are the excess of events in the tail of the H T distribution in tt events, the top-quark charge asymmetry and the discrimination of s- and t-channel events in single top. The latter has only been observed by CDF, while the other two are found by both CDF and DØ.

The recovery process after day surgery within the symptom management theory

Purpose: The aim was to illustrate two cases in a postoperative situation following day surgery within the framework of the symptom management theory. Method: Template analysis using the symptom management theory. Result: Neither the woman nor the man was able to return to their normal activities, health status or functional status, within a week. Conclusion: The results illustrate how a postopera

At what age do sunburn episodes play a crucial role for the development of malignant melanoma

The age relationship between sunburns and malignant melanoma was investigated in a population-based, matched, case-control study from the South Swedish Health Care Region (the highest risk area for melanoma in Sweden). Between 1988 and 1990, a total of 400 patients with a first diagnosis of malignant melanoma and 640 healthy controls aged 15-75 years answered a comprehensive questionnaire includin

The prognosis of breast cancer in males a report of 335 cases

Background. Because of the relative rarity of breast cancer in males, data have not been sufficient to support a definitive analysis of pertinent prognostic factors. Remarkably, no studies of male patients with breast cancer have presented survival information based on the number of histologically positive axillary nodes, the most sensitive single indicator of prognosis in women with breast cancer

Elevation of ADP-ribosylation as an indicator of mononuclear leucocyte responsiveness in breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen

82 women who had had surgery for removal of breast cancer were randomised during the primary care period before initiation of any chemotherapy or radiotherapy into two groups: no drug treatment (n = 40) and 20 mg tamoxifen per day for 2 years (n = 42). Mononuclear leucocyte (MNL) fractions from blood samples were collected during the first 368 days of the study and ADP-ribosylation was quantified.

Prognostic implications of cytogenetic findings in kidney cancer

Objective. To evaluate the prognostic impact of cytogenetic findings in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Patients and methods. Tumour cytogenetics, histomorphology, DNA ploidy and S-phase fraction, stage, size, and grade were related to survival in 50 consecutive patients with RCC. The mean follow-up was 3.9 years (median 4.2. range 0-8.8). Results. The predictive probability for recurrence-free surviv

Effect of pregnancy on prognosis for young women with breast cancer

Summary. Breast cancer in women under 30 years old carries a poor prognosis, for reasons that have not been identified. This study aimed to identify prognostic factors in this age group. Special attention was paid to the history of pregnancy. The clinical presentation and course of breast cancer was documented for 407 women, aged 20-29 years, who registered between 1978 and 1988 at one of nine can

Cutaneous malignant melanoma in South Sweden 1965, 1975, and 1985. A histopathologic review

Background. There is an increase in the incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) among white people throughout the world. In Sweden, a fivefold increase has been recorded since 1960, but the mortality is rising at a much lower rate. Tumor thickness is the single most important prognostic factor for primary melanoma. This study aimed to clarify whether the thickness of the tumor in invasive

Metabolism of estrone sulfate by normal breast tissue : Influence of menopausal status and oral contraceptives

The metabolism of [ 3 H]estrone sulfate ([ 3 H]E 1 S) was studied in normal breast tissue from 10 premenopausal women without oral contraceptives (OC), in 12 OC users and in 9 untreated postmenopausal women. [ 3 H]E 1 S was converted into estrone ([ 3 H]E 1 ) and estradiol-17β ([ 3 H]E 2 ) by tissue samples from all three groups of women, with only minor formation of other unconjugated compounds.

Tobias Norlind : musikforskare, museichef, folkhögskoleman

Tobias Norlind (1879–1947) var en allsidig och mycket produktiv vetenskapsman. I denna antologi behandlas olika sidor i hans verksamhet. Vid Lunds universitet var han med om att göra det möjligt att bedriva akademiska studier i musik. Parallellt med detta var han rektor vid flera nya folkhögskolor och undervisade vid dem. Båda dessa sidor fortsatte han med efter att ha flyttat till Stockholm. Där
