Correlation of fatigue with disability and accelerometer-measured daily physical activity in patients with relapsing-remitting MS.

Background: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, measuring its effects on patients in daily life is challenging. This study aimed to discover the association between relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients' disability, fatigue, and accelerometer-measured physical activity.

Practice patterns in diagnostics, staging, and management strategies of gallbladder cancer among Nordic tertiary centers.

Background And Objective: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare malignancy in the Nordic countries and no common Nordic treatment guidelines exist. This study aimed to characterize the current diagnostic and treatment strategies in the Nordic countries and disclose differences in these strategies.

Methods: This was a survey study with a cross-sectional questionnaire of all 19 university hospitals providing curative-intent surgery for GBC in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

Harmonics as an alternative method for measuring I during x-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments at laboratory scale.

In the recent years, the advent of an efficient and compact laboratory-scale spectrometer for x-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments has been extensively reported in the literature. Such modern instruments offer the advantage to routinely use x-ray absorption spectroscopy on systematic studies, which is usually unconceivable at synchrotron radiation source facilities due to often limited time access. However, one limiting factor is the fact that due to laboratory x-ray source brightness compared to a synchrotron, two separate measures of the incoming and transmitted x-ray intensities, i.

Gallbladder cancer epidemiology, treatment and survival in Southern Finland - a population-based study.

Introduction: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare malignancy in Western population with poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the trends in GBC incidence, treatment pattern, and survival in Finland.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with primary GBC in a geographically defined area (Southern Finland Regional Cancer Center) during 2006-2017 were identified.
