Risk factors among young women with endometrial cancer: a Danish case-control study.

Objective: This study was undertaken to identify and quantify risk factors for endometrial cancer among young women.

Study Design: This case-control study included all Danish women <50 years old who had endometrial cancer diagnosed during the period 1987 to 1994. A total of 237 case patients and 538 population control subjects matched with the case patients for age and residence were included in the analysis.

Treatment outcome following radiotherapy in elderly patients with bladder cancer.

Background And Purpose: The optimal treatment of elderly patients with bladder cancer is not established. This study aimed to evaluate prognostic variables for survival and morbidity, which may be important for treatment strategy.

Material And Methods: The medical records of 94 patients aged > or = 75 years receiving curatively intended radiotherapy for bladder cancer were reviewed retrospectively.

Zoladex (goserelin acetate) and the anemic patient: results of a multicenter fibroid study.

Objective: To compare the effects of goserelin acetate treatment with or without iron with iron alone.

Design: Multinational, multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind study.

Patients: Premenopausal women with menorrhagia or metrorrhagia and anemia associated with uterine leiomyomata awaiting hysterectomy.

[Deliveries at a department of surgery during a 10-year period].

In order to see whether the pattern of referral of pregnant women, intervention during labour and transport of neonates had changed over a 10-year period, we investigated these variables in the women who gave birth at our department of surgery in 1978, 1981 and 1988. The numbers of women were 790, 630 and 697 respectively for the three years, and the corresponding numbers of neonates transferred to the neonatal unit were 56, 44 and 53 respectively. The frequencies of risk pregnancies increased from 20% in 1978 to 37.

Pyloric size in normal infants and in infants suspected of having hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.

Pyloric muscle thickness (PMT) and pyloric diameter (PD) were determined by sonography in 92 healthy infants aged 8 to 70 days. PMT and PD measured median 2.0 mm and 10.
