3. 17. Familial breast cancer : risk populations and their surveillance

   Författare :Anna von Wachenfeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Women carrying mutations in either BRCA 1 or BRCA2 have a lifetime risk of breast cancer of 80%. As little is known about the risk of other malignancies, apart from ovarian/tubal cancer in mutation carriers, the importance of other malignancies in a family with several cases of breast cancer is hard to evaluate.

   Sammanfattning : Mathematical models have proven valuable for public health decision makers as they can provide insights into the understanding, control and, ultimately, the prevention of diseases. This thesis contains four manuscripts dealing with stochastic dynamic modelling and statistical analysis of infectious disease spread and optimization of cancer treatment. LÄS MER

5. 19. A model for injury surveillance at the local level in Bangladesh : implications for low-income countries

   Författare :Fazlur Rahman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Injury; Surveillance; Low-income countries; Bangladesh;

   Sammanfattning : Injury is a major public health problem in Bangladesh as in other low income countries throughout the world, but one that has gained very little attention from policy makers or even health professionals, mainly due to the lack of valid injury information in these countries. The establishment of surveillance systems for injuries at the national and local levels for the purpose of measuring trends, detecting clusters, identifying injury related risk factors, and developing intervention strategies are now essential steps to be taken in low-income countries.
