    Abstract : Abstract Background: The survival for children born with congenital heart disease (CHD) has increased and the majority reach adult age. Having a cardiac problem raise questions on the probability of successful pregnancies and predictors associated with unfavorable outcome. READ MORE

  4. 7. Breast cancer screening with mammography of women 40-49 years in Sweden

    Author : Barbro Numan Hellquist; Håkan Jonsson; Lennarth Nyström; Nea Malila; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cohort; mortality; breast cancer; mammography screening; risk factors; parity; age at first birth; socio-economic status; overdiagnosis; Oncology; onkologi;

    Abstract : Background The debate regarding the lower age limit for mammography service screening is old and lively; a product in part of the lower breast cancer risk in younger ages as well as the limited data available for studies of the younger age group. Recently the idea of inviting only high risk groups has gained momentum, however high risk might not be equivalent to greater benefit from screening. READ MORE

  5. 8. Blood pressure, renal functional and structural changes, in normal and preeclamptic pregnancy

    Author : Helena Strevens; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstetrics; renal biopsy; renal function; pregnancy; preeclampsia; physiology; parity; endotheliosis; cystatin C; Blood pressure; BMI; gynaecology; andrology; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet;

    Abstract : The kidneys play a pivotal role in the adaptive physiology of the pregnant woman, presenting some changes at term similar to the changes found in preeclampsia – a state of increased risk of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. The aim of these investigations was to explore possible similarities in blood pressure regulation, renal function and structure in normal term and preeclamptic pregnancy, to ascertain whether both conditions in fact are different degrees of an adaptive process in reaction to pregnancy.

  6. 9. Low-density parity-check codes : unequal error protection and reduction of clipping effects

    Author : Sara Sandberg; David Declercq; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signalbehandling; Signal Processing;

    Abstract : The invention of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes made reliable communication possible at transmission rates very close to the theoretical limit predicted by Shannon. However, communication close to the Shannon limit requires very long codes and results in long delay and high encoder and decoder complexity. READ MORE
