Abstract:

Many trials confirmed the safety of omitting axillary dissection in the selected patients treated for early breast cancer. The external validity of these trials is questionable. Our study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the French population representativity in the SERC trial and the differences between these two populations as well as comparing the French and the Swedish populations (the SENOMIC trial population and the Swedish National Breast Cancer Registry (NKBC) cohort) of patients with sentinel node (SN) micro-metastasis.

Abstract:

The present quantitative study focuses on witnesses’ speech in Swedish criminal trials, more speciﬁcally on potential differences between men’s and women’s language styles. Since the 1970s, research on language and gender has been divided into three main approaches towards the relationship between men’s and women’s language use: the deﬁcit approach, the dominance approach and the cultural approach. The present study uses the more recent dynamic approach to show how gender is acted out in each situation taking into account a number of factors, e.g. context. The aim of our work is ﬁrst and forem

Of the four randomized controlled trials of mass mammography completed to date, the New York HIP trial used obsolete technology and was not designed to assess mammography in the absence of physical examination; the Swedish Two-County trial had serious methodological flaws; the U.K. trial was incompletely documented but showed no significant benefit; and the Malmö trial, which was perfect in design and execution, showed no benefit.Paradoxicially, with each successive trial and an increasing sophistication of mammography, the benefit of screening was becoming not greater but less.

Abstract Key message We propose the utilisation of environmental covariates in random coefficient models to predict the genotype performances in new locations. Abstract Multi-environment trials (MET) are conducted to assess the performance of a set of genotypes in a target population of environments. From a grower’s perspective, MET results must provide high accuracy and precision for predictions of genotype performance in new locations, i.e. the grower’s locations, which hardly ever coincide with the locations at which the trials were conducted.

This article explores the changing construction of the future in Swedish forestry since 1850. The framework is based on three concepts: (1) knowability, addressing changing views of knowledge; (2) governability, addressing changing views of the ability to steer the future; and (3) temporality, referring to varying ways of relating to time. The results reveal that until the 1980s, trust in science-based forestry triggered other knowledge-based activities, such as education, surveys, and field trials.

AbstractObjectivesCurrent guidelines rank abatacept, rituximab, tocilizumab and TNF-inhibitors (TNFi) as having equal effectiveness for the treatment of RA, at least as second line therapies. These recommendations are mainly based on meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, with few direct drug–drug comparisons. Our objective was to compare the real-world absolute and relative effectiveness among RA patients starting any of the available biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs).MethodsWe used the Swedish Rheumatology Register to identify patients with RA initiating TNFi, rituximab, abatacept or tociliz

Abstract:

The summer drought of 2018 was one of the most climatically severe events in Europe that led to record-breaking temperatures and wildfires in many parts of Europe. The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of the 2018 drought on the phenotypic and genetic response of Norway spruce height growth using the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). To achieve this, the total cumulative height growth of about 6000 clones from 2016 to 2019 in four full-sib trials in Sweden, aged 6–7 years, and from 2017 to 2019 in two half-sib trials in Finland, aged 8–9 years, wer

Abstract:

Introduction: Primary Mediastinal B-cell Lymphoma (PMBCL) is a rare, aggressive disorder that predominantly afflicts younger women and accounts for approximately 2% of all Non-Hodgkin-lymphoma. Due to the rarity of PMBCL and thus lack of prospective trials performed, there is no established standard of care. In the pre-rituximab era more intensive regimens resulted in superior outcomes compared to the CHOP-regimen, a difference that appears to be abrogated by the addition of rituximab. Also, early trials suggested that radiotherapy (RT) was a critical component of treatment and is commonly inc

Abstract On behalf of the Swedish Adult ALL Group and the Swedish Childhood Leukemia Group. Several recent studies have shown superior outcome for older teenagers and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated in pediatric oncology departments compared with adult hematology departments. However, some of these comparisons have been hampered by either biased risk-group stratification (adult protocols considering young adults as lower risk and pediatric protocols considering the same age-group as high-risk), or a markedly higher treatment-related mortality for the adult treatmen

A homozygous mapping population, consisting of doubled haploid (DH) oat ( Avena sativa L.) plants generated through anther culture of F1 plants from the cross between the Finnish cultivar ‘Aslak’ and the Swedish cultivar ‘Matilda’, was used to construct an oat linkage map. Ten agronomic and quality traits were analyzed in the DH plants from field trials in 2005 and 2006. Leaf blotch (caused by Pyrenophora avenae ) resistance was also evaluated in a greenhouse test with 2 different isolates. One to 8 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were found to be associated with each trait studied. Some chromo
