2. 1. Colorectal cancer : Aspects of staging, treatment, recurrence and survival

   Author : Åsa Collin; Joakim Folkesson; Wilhelm Graf; Malin Enblad; Marie-Louise Lydrup; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; recurrence; survival; staging; postoperative complications; Kirurgi; Surgery; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Abstract : Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy in the world, and major breakthroughs have been made regarding both surgical and oncological treatment. Still, postoperative complications, such as perineal infections after abdominoperineal resection (APR), are a major cause of morbidity, and distant recurrence rate is nearly 20%. READ MORE

4. 2. Ovarian cancer. Biomarkers, surgical outcome and survival

   Author : Pia Leandersson; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epitelial äggstokscancer; biomarkörer; kirurgi; incidens; överlevnad; epithelial ovarian cancer; biomarkers; ovarian cancer surgery; incidence; survival;

   Abstract : Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common female cancer worldwide and the most lethal of the gynaecologic malignancies. Around 700 women are diagnosed in Sweden per year. Due to vague symptoms most of the patients are diagnosed with late-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and prognosis is poor, with a five-year survival of 49%. READ MORE

5. 3. Survival patterns and density-dependent processes in breeding mallards Anas platyrhynchos

   Author : Gunnar Gunnarsson; Kjell Sjöberg; Johan Elmberg; Per Lundberg; Robert Clark; Högskolan Kristianstad; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; broods; dabbling ducks; density dependence; ducklings; experiments; models; mortality; nest predation; regulation; survival; Terrestrial ecology; Terrestrisk ekologi;

   Abstract : Measuring and assessing vital rates such as births and deaths are prerequisites for understanding population dynamics. Vital rates may be affected by the density of individuals, even though the importance of density dependence on population dynamics has been debated for a long time. READ MORE

6. 4. Home Mechanical Ventilation in Sweden. Demography, Indications, Clinical Effects and Survival

   Author : Michael Laub; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; home mechanical ventilation; Andningsorganen; Respiratory system; causes of death; selection criteria; clinical effects; prevalence; temporal changes; survival; Chronic respiratory failure hypoventilation;

   Abstract : Home mechanical ventilation in patients with chronic respiratory failure secondary to several different diseases has become widely acceptable as the provision of ventilatory support can provide symptomatic relief and increase life expectancy. Aims: To study the selection criteria underlying the initiation of home mechanical ventilation and to quantify the effects of in relation to blood gases and lung function; to examine temporal changes in treatment prevalence in Sweden; to study survival and causes of death and demonstrate possible related impact factors.

7. 5. Mortality and survival from childhood to old age in rural Ethiopia

   Author : Mesganaw Fantahun; Ulf Högberg; Stig Wall; Peter Byass; Yemane Berhane; Thorkild Tylleskär; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mortality; survival; children; adults; elderly; cause of death; determinants; Ethiopia; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi;

   Abstract : This thesis examines ways of establishing cause of death, assessing trends in mortality, and identifying factors that affect mortality and survival among the different population groups in rural and semi-urban Ethiopia. These data are important for health care planning; however, such vital data are unavailable in many developing countries. READ MORE
