Article Synopsis
  • The NORSCREEN trial aims to evaluate whether self-screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) using a continuous ECG can lower the incidence of strokes in individuals aged 65 and older who have additional stroke risk factors.
  • The study involves a randomized controlled trial with 35,000 participants who will either engage in self-screening at home or serve as a control group, with follow-ups lasting five years to assess stroke outcomes.
  • Results from the trial may provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of digital self-screening for AF in preventing strokes, contributing to better healthcare practices for at-risk populations.

Genetic growth curves of boars in a test station were predicted on daily weight records collected by automated weighing scales. The data contained 121 865 observations from 1477 Norwegian Landrace boars and 108 589 observations from 1300 Norwegian Duroc boars. Random regression models using Legendre polynomials up to second order for weight at different ages were compared for best predicting ability and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) for both breeds.
