Incidence, survival and mortality trends of bladder cancer in Sweden 1997–2016

Objective: To evaluate trends in bladder cancer incidence, survival and mortality in Sweden from 1997–2016. Patients and methods: The Swedish National Registry of Urinary Bladder Cancer is a nation-wide quality register that started in 1997. It includes information on initial tumor characteristics and treatment; 41,097 new cases were registered up to 2016. Patients were stratified into four time p

Multimodal cue integration in the dung beetle compass

South African ball-rolling dung beetles exhibit a unique orientation behavior to avoid competition for food: after forming a piece of dung into a ball, they efficiently escape with it from the dung pile along a straight-line path. To keep track of their heading, these animals use celestial cues, such as the sun, as an orientation reference. Here we show that wind can also be used as a guiding cue

Factors related to health-related quality of life in older people with multimorbidity and high health care consumption over a two-year period

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of multimorbidity is increasing worldwide, and older people with multimorbidity are frequent users of health care services. Since multimorbidity has a significant negative impact on Health-related Quality of Life (HrQoL) and is more common in older age it would be expected that factors related to HrQoL in this group might have been thoroughly researched, but this is not

Experiences of using a video-based learning model during a long-term process of movement awareness and learning–a hermeneutical study

Aim: To explore the long-term learning process in movement awareness development supported by a video-based learning model. Participants: Eleven undergraduate nursing students. Method: The students participated in learning sessions comprising video modelling, video feedback and reflective enquiry with a focus on inter-personal interaction. Each student participated in three individual video sessio

Breast-feeding during Pregnancy and the Risk of Miscarriage

ContextBreastfeeding rates and durations have been increasing among American women in recent decades, but a consequence of these trends is that women may be more likely to practice breastfeeding during pregnancy (BDP). BDP has been hypothesized to increase the risk of miscarriage, yet there has been little research investigating if this is the case.MethodsUsing data on 10,661 pregnancies from the

Resting metabolic rate in migratory and non-migratory geese following range expansion : go south, go low

While many species suffer from human activities, some like geese benefit and may show range expansions. In some cases geese (partially) gave up migration and started breeding at wintering and stopover grounds. Range expansion may be facilitated and accompanied by physiological changes, especially when associated with changes in migratory behaviour. Interspecific comparisons found that migratory te

Functional characterization of novel germline TP53 variants in Swedish families

Pathogenic germline TP53 variants predispose to a wide range of early onset cancers, often recognized as the Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). They are also identified in 1% of families with hereditary breast cancer (HrBC) that do not fulfill the criteria for LFS. In this study, we present a total of 24 different TP53 variants identified in 31 Swedish families with LFS or HrBC. Ten of these variants, ni

Self-healing photo-neuropathy and cervical spinal arthrosis in four sisters with brachioradial pruritus.

The cause of brachioradial pruritus (a localized itching on the arms or shoulders) is controversial. The role of sun and cervical spine disease has been discussed. This is a report on four sisters suffering from brachioradial pruritus recurring every summer. The sisters spent much time outdoors and exposed themselves extensively to the sun. They also had occupations requiring heavy lifting. Cervic

The structure and radiative lifetimes of negative ions homologous to N-

Negative ions homologous to N- are interesting systems, since there are several bound terms within the ground configuration. The forbidden transitions between them, often dominated by the magnetic dipole contributions, are affected by term mixing - a relativistic effect. When increasing the nuclear charge in the homologous sequence of negative ions, this effect increases. In this paper we use syst

Graptolite biostratigraphy of the Ordovician Almelund and Sularp Shale formations of the Fågelsång-3 drill core, Scania, Sweden

The upper Middle to basal Upper Ordovician succession (Darriwilian to Sandbian) of the Fågelsång-3 drill core provides new important information on the graptolite biostratigraphy of Scania, southern Sweden. The Scanian succession is known largely from drill cores and a few scattered outcrops exposing only parts of the interval. The Darriwilian Almelund Shale Formation overlies the Komstad Limeston
