Sensitivity of colonoscopy registration in the Swedish Patient Register compared to SCREESCO
Abstract Background Accurate registration of colonoscopies in registers is essential for register-based research of colonoscopy use and outcomes. We aimed to assess the sensitivity of colonoscopy registration in the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) compared to colonoscopy data from the SCREEning of Swedish COlons (SCREESCO) study.
Colonoscopy and fecal immunochemical testing versus usual care in diagnostic colorectal cancer screening: the SCREESCO randomized controlled trial - Nature Medicine
Abstract There is a need to quantify the benefits and harms of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening using primary colonoscopy or fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) compared with usual care with no screening. Guidelines recommend screening in individuals aged 50–75 years using colonoscopy or FIT, and many screening programs use one-sample biennial FIT.
The Case Against Omitting Systematic Biopsy in Younger Men: Evidence from the PROBASE Trial
In this issue of European Urology, Al-Monajjed et al [1] present findings from the PROBASE trial, which investigated prostate cancer (PC) detection strategies for men aged 45–50 yr who had PSA ≥3 ng/ml at screening that was followed by both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsy (TBx) and systematic biopsy (SBx).
Risk of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma after primary non‐muscle‐invasive urinary bladder cancer: A nationwide population‐based cohort study
1 INTRODUCTION According to the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines, there is a weak evidence base underlying recommendations for surveillance for upper urothelial tract carcinoma (UTUC) in patients diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).1-3 Previous studies report a wide range of risk estimates for UTUC after NMIBC diagnosis,4-9 the two largest studies are based on the SEER database, one reporting a 10-year risk of 0.7% (1988–2003)10 and the second a risk of...

Juraeksperter: Vi så gerne en mere nuanceret rådgivning om alkohol fra Sundhedsstyrelsen
Først en lille disclaimer: Alkohol fylder meget i forfatterne til denne Kroniks liv. Vi nyder at drikke og hygge os med et godt glas vin eller to; vi har ovenikøbet et lille firma, hvor vi sælger vin – selvfølgelig af særlig af høj kvalitet … ; og vi har et job som kriminologer, hvor alkoholproblematikker spiller en stor rolle. Vi studerer alkoholafhængighed og alkoholforbrug blandt unge, og vi beskæftiger os med alkoholforbrugets sammenhæng med vold og anden kriminalitet.
Number of transurethral procedures after non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and survival in causes other than bladder cancer
Loading metrics Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Abstract Background Previous research has associated repeated transurethral procedures after a diagnosis of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with increased risk of death of causes other than bladder cancer. Aim We investigated the overall and disease-specific risk of death in patients with NMIBC compared to a background population sample.
Steel Casket, by Primitive Man
TAR090 Primitive Man - Steel Casket The first week of April, 2017 witnessed Primitive Man enter into the venerable Flatline Audio for what has now become their latest full length opus entitled “Caustic” which was released last fall on Relapse Records.

To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. Background: Inflammation is a well-documented driver of cancer development and progression. However, little is known about its role in prostate carcinogenesis. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association of C-reactive protein (CRP), haptoglobin, albumin and white blood cells (WBC) with prostate cancer severity and progression.

Work Disability After Robot-assisted or Open Radical Prostatectomy: A Nationwide, Population-based Study
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been associated with reduced bleeding and shorter hospital stays than open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), but it is unclear whether these differences translate into shorter absence from work. To investigate short- and long-term rates of work disability following RARP and RRP.

To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription . Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. It is debated whether treating cancer patients in high-volume surgical centres can lead to improvement in outcomes, such as shorter length of hospital stay, decreased frequency and severity of post-operative complications, decreased re-admission, and decreased mortality.
PLOS ONE: Associations of C-Reactive Protein, Granulocytes and Granulocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio with Mortality from Breast Cancer in Non-Institutionalized American Women
Inflammation may play a role in breast cancer, but evidence in the general population is lacking. We investigated the association between serum inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein (CRP), absolute granulocyte count (AGC) and granulocyte-to-lymphocyte (G/L) ratio) and breast cancer (BCa) mortality in American women while accounting for adiposity.
