2. 1. Surveillance and follow-up of early prostate cancer

   Author : Mats Steinholtz Ahlberg; Anna Bill-Axelson; Lars Holmberg; Anna Lantz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; active surveillance; follow-up; biochemical recurrence; triggers for transition to radical treatment; overdiagnosis; overtreatment.; Urologi; Urology;

   Abstract : Active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer was introduced to address overtreatment resulting from prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Despite advancements such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and targeted biopsies, PSA remains crucial in prostate cancer diagnostics, leading to ongoing challenges of overdiagnosis and overtreatment.

4. 2. 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

5. 3. The role of imaging in follow-up and prognosis of patients radically operated for melanoma

   Author : Ylva Naeser; Gustav Ullenhag; Christian Ingvar; Mats Lambe; Micaela Hernberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cutaneous malignant melanoma; melanoma in situ; follow-up studies; randomized controlled trial; cohort study; whole-body imaging; health-related quality of life; prognosis; survival; socioeconomic status; comorbidity; Sweden;

   Abstract : Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is the cancer type in Sweden with the most rapidly increasing incidence. This thesis investigated if whole-body imaging improves the follow-up scheme post-surgery in high-risk CMM patients and explored the long-term outcomes for early-stage melanoma patients compared to the general population.

6. 4. 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.

7. 5. New perspectives on imaging of urinary tract infections in infants

   Author : Yvonne Simrén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection; Ultrasound; Diffusion weighted imaging; Diffusion tensor imaging;

   Abstract : Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in infants that may lead to renal damage with an increased risk of long term complications. The diagnostic imaging aims to identify risk factors as underlying urinary tract abnormalities and renal involvement of the infection for prevention of long term adverse outcome. READ MORE
