Background And Purpose: Investigate effects of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) or surgical metastasectomy (SM) on overall survival (OS) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) in the era of targeted agents (TA).
Material And Methods: mRCC patients (n = 117) treated with SRT (n = 57), SM (n = 30) or both modalities sequentially (n = 30) at two oncological centres in Sweden in 2005-2014 were retrospectively included. Median follow-up (mFU) was 63 months.
Background: While men with schizophrenia are at higher risk of displaying homicidal behaviours compared with the general population, very little is known about the circumstances related to the triggering of such violent acts among offenders with schizophrenia. The main goal of the present investigation was to describe the surrounding context, psychotic symptoms, target characteristics and other circumstantial factors associated with homicidal acts committed by men with schizophrenia, with or without an additional antisocial personality disorder (APD).
Method: Comprehensive clinical and research interviews, as well as multiple sources of information including reports from social workers and police officers, criminal records, witness statements and questionnaires completed by friends, acquaintances and family members were used to determine specific characteristics surrounding the homicidal acts.
Background: The familial occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the clinical features of familial and sporadic IBD in the genetically homogeneous Finnish population are evaluated.
Methods: 257 patients with Crohn disease (CD) and 436 with ulcerative colitis (UC) participated in the study. They were asked whether IBD was present (familial IBD) or absent (sporadic IBD) in their first-degree relatives.
