2. 6. Long-term follow-up of pseudoexfoliation, intraocular pressure and glaucoma : epidemiological studies in northern Sweden

   Author : Siv Åström; Christina Lindén; Hans Stenlund; Bertil Lindblom; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pseudoexfoliation; glaucoma; intraocular pressure; age cohort; screening; long-term follow-up;

   Abstract : Purpose An age-cohort was studied with long-term follow-up. The population was born in 1915, living in the municipality of Skellefteå in 1981. The purpose was to investigate the prevalence and incidence of pseudoexfoliation (PEX), its influence on intraocular pressure (IOP) and development of open-angle glaucoma (OAG). READ MORE

4. 7. Muscle function in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis : A two-year follow-up

   Author : Hans Lindehammar; Lars Larsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; arthritis; juvenile rheumatoid; physiopathology; muscle; skeletal; pathology; physiopathology; Muscular atrophy; etiology; physiopathology; arthritis; juvenile rheumatoid; complications; Medicine; Medicin;

   Abstract : This is a study of muscle function in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease that primarily affects the synovial membrane of joints. Muscle weakness, atrophy and pain occur in adult RA. This may be a consequence of joint pain, stiffness and immobility. READ MORE

5. 8. Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors : Surgical Treatment and Follow-up

   Author : Josefine Kjaer; Olov Norlén; Kjetil Soreide; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor; surgery; liver metastases; hepatic resection; liver transplantation; recurrence; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (Pan-NET), are rare, heterogenous and derive from the hormone producing cells in the pancreas. The functioning tumors that overproduce hormones cause clinical syndromes with specific symptoms due to the hormonal production. READ MORE

6. 9. Long-term follow-up of very low birthweight children : A prospective study from the southeast region of Sweden

   Author : Per-Olof Gäddlin; Ingemar Leijon; Orvar Finnström; Torstein Vik; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Very low birthweight infants; Follow-up studies; Adolescence; Gender; Neonatal risk factors; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Cognitive function; School performance; Health; Quality of Life; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

   Abstract : Background: The survival rates for very low birthweight (VLBW; birthweight ≤1500 g) children are increasing, but they run a greater risk than controls of developing neurosensory disabilities and other functional problems during childhood. However, there is a great need for more knowledge regarding long-term outcome to adulthood in VLBW subjects. READ MORE

7. 10. Ultrasonography for Diagnosis, Intervention and Follow-up in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

   Author : Louise Laurell; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : ultrasonography; color Doppler; juvenile idiopathic arthritis; symptomatic ankles and wrists; synovitis; enthesitis; US-guided steroid injection; follow-up; MRI;

   Abstract : Early therapeutic intervention and the use of novel, highly effective treatments in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have improved the outcome in many diseased children, but have also increased the need for more precise methods for evaluating disease activity. In this context, both ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play an important role in adult rheumatology, although these methods have yet not been fully evaluated in JIA. READ MORE
