Associations between emotional and non-emotional cognition and subsequent mood episodes in recently diagnosed patients with bipolar disorder: A 16-month follow-up study.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with impairments in both emotional and non-emotional cognition. Recently, cognitive impairments have attracted increasing research interest as markers of prognosis and possible treatment targets in patients with BD. However, there is a paucity of studies investigating cognitive predictors of prognosis in BD.

Variation in Nordic Work-Related Cancer Risks after Adjustment for Alcohol and Tobacco.

: Alcohol and tobacco strongly increases the risk of cancers of the tongue, mouth, pharynx, larynx, and oesophagus, and are also established risk factors for cancer of the liver, colon, and rectum. It is well documented that these habits are unequally distributed among occupational groups. Most occupational cohort studies lack information on these potentially important confounders, and may therefore be prone to bias.

Adjustment for tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption by simultaneous analysis of several types of cancer.

Purpose: Tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption are risk factors for several types of cancer and may act as confounders in aetiological studies. Large register-based cohorts often lack data on tobacco and alcohol. We present a method for computing estimates of cancer risk adjusted for tobacco and alcohol without exposure information.

Cervical cancer prevented by screening: Long-term incidence trends by morphology in Norway.

Both major morphologic types of cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC), are causally related to persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV), but screening has primarily been effective at preventing SCC. We analysed incidence trends of cervical cancer in Norway stratified by morphologies over 55 years, and projected SCC incidence in the absence of screening by assessing the changes in the incidence rate of AC. The Cancer Registry of Norway was used to identify all 19,530 malignancies in the cervix diagnosed in the period 1956-2010.

Results of delayed triage by HPV testing and cytology in the Norwegian Cervical Cancer Screening Programme.

Background: High-risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) testing was added to the cytology triage of women with equivocal screening smears in the Norwegian programme for cervical cancer screening in 2005. In this population-based observational before and after study we assessed the effect of changing the screening algorithm.

Material And Methods: In periods before and after the change 75 852 and 66 616 women, respectively, were eligible for triage, i.
