  1. 1. Where are the world’s disease patterns heading? : The challenges of epidemiological transition

    Författare :Ailiana Santosa; Peter Byass; Ulf Högberg; Joacim Rocklöv; Sarah Wild; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiological transition; premature mortality; non-communicable disease; risk factors; Sweden; low-and middle-income countries; INDEPTH Network; Västerbotten Intervention Programme; Public health; folkhälsa;

    Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological transition theory, first postulated by Omran in 1971, provides a useful framework for understanding cause-specific mortality changes and may contribute usefully to predictions about cause-specific mortality. However, understandings of mortality transitions and associated epidemiological changes remain poorly defined for public health practitioners due to lack of evidence from low- and middle-income countries.

  3. 2. A Laparoscopic Approach in Gastro-Oesophageal Surgery : Experimental and Epidemiological Studies

    Författare :Rune Sandbu; Bo Anderberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Gastro-oesophageal surgery; fundoplication; laparoscopy; long-term results; pneumothorax; intra-cranial pressure; positive end-expiratory pressure; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : The extension of laparoscopic procedures into the chest may induce specific pathophysiologic effects.In pigs, we have demonstrated how devastating a combined thoraco-laparoscopic approach can be for gas exchange. Furthermore, the transmission of elevated pressure intra-cranially is a potential danger. LÄS MER

  4. 3. How to model temporal changes in epidemiological data : Treatment trajectories in men with prostate cancer

    Författare :Eugenio Ventimiglia; Pär Stattin; Paul C. Lambert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; state transition model; life expectancy; active surveillance; watchful waiting;

    Sammanfattning : Owing to the improvements in detection, diagnostics, and treatment, many men currently diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) have a low risk of PCa death. For many men PCa has become a chronic disease with a small risk of progression that remains even decades after date of diag-nosis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Epidemiological and radiological aspects of multiple sclerosis

    Författare :Anne-Marie Landtblom; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The first aim of this investigation was to analyse possible risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS) with focus on animal contacts and occupational exposures, especially to organic solvents. Another aim was to search for specific features in solvent-exposed MS patients mainly by the radiological techniques magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H MRS) and also by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis along with a disability scoring.

  7. 5. Epidemiological and neurobiological evidence for misuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids

    Författare :Anna MS Kindlundh; Johan Franck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; biologisk beroendeforskning; Biological Research on Drug Dependence;

    Sammanfattning : Misuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), is attributed to elite athletes and body builders. The attentive involvement of AAS in acts of violence seen in society has raised interest to evaluate the importance of social, psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that underlie the psychiatric states associated with onset of controlled misuse, its maintenance, and via abuse its transition to addiction.
